If i could give a 0 i would..dnt ever go here...meineke alignment machine broke down when tryin to align my vehicle so i came here just for them to find a reason not to give me an alignment. I just had a new suspension system put in so I knew there was nothing wrong with my car especially since meineke found nothing wrong an was proceeding with the alignment until their machine malfunctioned. This place either finds an issue that isnt there or makes an issue so u still have to pay them a fee before leaving if you dont get anything done so Im out $35 for them waisting MY TIME..HORRIBLE...like people have money these days to give away..

DO NOT GO HERE. I wish i could give 0 stars. Ive read reviews and had mixed feelings about it but decided to gamble and picked them to repair my vehicle. I should not have ever gone there. I told them my exhaust pipe might have a leak and was told that they didnt find any problems. Instead, they informed me that i should do the 100,000 mile tune up which cost me over 500 dollars. Once I went back to pick up the car, the car wouldnt start because they drained my battery during Tune-up. Not only that, 2 days after the visit, my exhaust pipe burst open and went back to get it welded for 180 dollars as they recommended. 2 weeks have gone by, my car started having the same issue and went to a different auto repair shop and was informed that they should never weld a rusty pipe and the problem was that I needed a new Y pipe. 180 dollars is now wasted and getting a new Y pipe elsewhere. 절대로 이곳은 가지 마십시요. 자동차는 생명과 관련되어있는데 사명감과 자동차 상식이 부족하신것같습니다. 여기 차를 맡기셨다면 다른곳가서 빠른시일내에 체크업 받으시는걸 권장드립니다.

This is the worst place ... be warned! When at dealership I was told car needs alignment and decided to shop around where to get it done. Brought here and didn’t do alignment because they said left lower arm control needed replacing. Ended up going back to dealership and had various mechanics confirm absolutely nothing wrong with that part. I had extra cost now of diagnostic fee I would not have it it were not for this place and a 35 dollar fee when taking it to this crook of a mechanic. I am seriously considering suing them.

I called twice for pricing and availability for a wheel alignment. When i got there he said there may be additional charges for inspecting tires, suspension etc. before doing my alignment. And if they find something they will tell me the cost for repair plus labor for inspecting. If they dont find anything there wont be any charges for checking and will continue on doing my alignment. I argued that this shouldve been disclosed over the phone and had two opportunities to tell me. After arguing with him over and over again i decided to just leave. I felt he was being dishonest and just wanted me to come there hoping i would just say go ahead and help them make some extra money!!

This is the most honest place I have ever been.i went there to get my car looked at, pep boys told me that it was the catalyst converter that was damaged and this place said it was just the muffler need replacing and every thing cost way way less and pep boys of Randallsown was charging me 1500 for replacing the catalyst converter.my car is running amazing.i am recommending this place to the public the are good people.honest and trust worthy.i am thanking them so much for the work.also fast service.this place is in catonsville by the way.

Gave us a great deal with a discount to repair our car after a collision with a deer. So far, no issues. Took around 2 weeks to fully repair the car after it was dropped off by the tow truck.Mixed feelings because I forgot to take our change (which was sorted in a clear plastic case) out of the car before leaving it with them and now we are around $10 shorter in toll money. Also, our glove department was definitely rifled through. Could have been the towing company however.Definitely make sure to remove any valuables before leaving your car with them. Also cross posted to the company which towed our car.

Even giving it one star is not worth it.Didn’t fix the problem, made it worse and had to pay again.Ended up going else where And they said the repair wasn’t fixed correctly and had to get everything redone.The absolute worst place ever.Do not go, unless you want to waste money

Warm and inviting atmosphere where customer service and comfort (waiting area) is absolutely one of their priorities. They also provided me with friendly and professional service at a reasonable price. Cant believe it took me this long to give them a try!

Really poor service. They are more worried about the things they didnt work on. Came to get one tire replaced, and the car made so much noise so I had to bring it back do to the sound. When I brought it back they said there is no warranty on the tire. Really poor service. Please pay a little more and get better service

Ive been going to this shop for the past 4 years. Justin always takes good care of all the cars i brought to this shop. i Highly recommend this shop. cheap labor and gives often discounts on a good day! Mind you, i live in Parkville, MD. i would travel just to go to this shop to get work done. The Front desk clerk seems like he owns a book of where he can get the right parts for your car, when accidents happens he would call the insurance for you to make things right and call the dealership of where the car was taken from to make sure the details about the car is correct. Francis and all other mechanic are amazing. The mechanics takes good care of my vintage truck with care like they own it. Thank you so much fellas!

The guys at Ahns Auto are great. Ive been coming here for almost 3 years, and they have been my go-to shop for repair and maintenance. The service is quick and reliable. Unlike other big companies, these guys dont try to rip you off. You can wait 15 minutes for your car to get an oil change here, or wait 2 hours at Pep Boys and also have service writers lie to you about extra services that you need. Plugging up tires is really quick here too.

First come first serve. Good staff. Decent prices. They will buy the parts in advance for a deposit which is nice. Sometimes will cut you a deal / break. I keep this place in mind when I need a quick fix.

Review №26

My husband went in there today and wants to do the alignment, they put a very big sign out there, said it’s $50, so I am assuming that will be the price, he drove in there, and they checked my car, came out and told me it’s gonna be $75, what??? That’s not what you post the sign out there, then they were claimed that because it’s a Lexus, it’s a sedan, not suv by the way, my husband was like why didn’t you tell me earlier, you saw what kind of the car I’m driving, and you know that you put that big sign out there, so my husband was like, then I’m not gonna do it in here then, now they said there’s a fee of just checking your vehicle if your car needs that alignment, the fee is $35, I mean if you told me there’s going to be a fee after they checked and you don’t wanna do any service before you done anything, which you didn’t, I don’t mind paying, but I really do feel this is a rip-off, and the reason I’m spending my time, writing this review, just to warn people, if you ever want their services , make sure you asked ahead, because they are not very honest, my point is I won’t ever go to that kind of shop, because they are not honest. Thank you for reading my review, I just feel better to let people know, so you won’t be in my situation.To the response underneath, did you read what I wrote? I said if you told my husband there will be a fee before you checked the car, then I wouldn’t even wanna waste my time to write this, I mean $35 isn’t really the issue here, it’s you guys are not honest.

PSA. Dont go to Ahns Auto RepairLets help out the small local businesses I thought, also price isnt bad either.dont let the four star fool you. they are really nice when you come in, but it is night and day after the payment has gone through.my advice. spend your hard earned money else where. They dont care what happens and take no responsibility after your money is in their hand.Not convinced yet? heres the full cup of tea:I went in to get two used tires. One of them was leaking by the the time I got home. I went back they plugged it up but by the next morning it was flat, and my car made grinding metal sounds when turning. I went back and I had to pay $35 just to have them check what they did. Plus $35 to have them fix what was going on. When I got my car back I payed the $70. and oh my god. the sound the car made right after rolling out of the lot twisted my heart.I looped back to ask them to take another look because it was not making that horrible metal grinding sound before I got here and before I could even ask for them to take a look I was told that my word cant be trusted and nothing was their fault. The front desk guy barked all the reasons why it couldnt be their fault and argued me out of the store WHILE another customer was right in front of him! and I was just just...dumbfounded.people who know me know that I am not the type to bark back if its not worth my time, and a place where they treat people like that isnt worth anything.There are a dozen other mechanics you can find literally in a 2 mile radius.But if you still think $15 is worth the headache and, good luck to you. I sincerely hope your car is safe to drive after.Like to let others know

I bought my car 2 months ago and the brakes squealed all the time when I reversed. Ahns did a $35 brake check, told me that the quality was poor and advised me to run them down and then get them replaced since they still work well. I opted to replace them with the brakes they recommended, and it only cost me $130 altogether. They are fast, honest, and knowledgeable. Very appreciative of their services.

I go here consistently for my oil changes. The man at the front desk always greets me by name and they are always very friendly. Im usually in and out in less than 25 Mins. Highly recommended. Havent had one done, but based on the sign they offer the cheapest alignments in the area.

The Ahn family is really nice. The mechanics are knowledgeable and they take care of your car.I took my Sonata NF with new aftermarket rims, that had vibrations, and they quickly identified the problem: I needed hub centric rings.They give personal attention to you and to your car.They also did a great job with the balancing.Also their alignments are the cheapest in this area!Highly recommend Ahns auto.

Review №37

I stopped by @shop to replace my 2 tires(already purchased) 30min prior to closing time on a saturday afternoon. Front service writer was courteous & quoted me $10 to mount & $10 for computer balancing. Within 30min, my 2 tires were mounted & balanced. It costs me $40. No hidden cost. I took my old tires with me. I would certainly recommend this shop to anybody. By the way, they sell used tires, most are $55/tire mount & balance included. I think this is a heck of a deal. I will consider next time if I needed used tires.

Today I went to Ahns for an oil change, and they werent very busy at all. The first thing I noticed when I went in was the atmosphere of the shop - very appealing an comfortable waiting area with a large screen TV and several types of teas to drink. No sugar, however. The majority of the reading material was in Korean, which can be a good or bad thing, I didnt mind but I dont speak korean. Anyways, I was charged exactly $30 for their oil change - no hidden fees, no hassles. In and out within 15 minutes. Again, I was the only customer, but these guys seem to care about your valuable time. I would highly recommend Ahns to anyone who needs quick work done on their vehicle. Much cheaper and faster than Jiffy Lube, for sure! I will return for future services. :)

I went there to get an oil change, and after they finished the oil change, the person gave me my car keys and I gave them their money and he told me everything went pretty good, so then I gotten a napkin to check. if they had change the oil or not, so what I see is that they had damage my car hood opener is missing and not even there, so I went back inside told them you guys broke my hood opener ,“and they were like it wasn’t there it was missing before we got it” why did they had to lie about it. I will never go back there again. YOU GUYS DIDNT HAD TO LIE ABOUT IT........

We all have different experience at repair shops but I was extremely satisfied with Ahns Auto Repair. They didnt charge me to check my car, they replaced my tires and balanced them at reasonable cost. I was amazed how he explained me the process of elimination with what needed to be done on my car. I recommend this place.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! This company takes no responsibility for damages done to your vehicle while they work on it.Im usually pretty easy-going and I dont make a fuss about stuff but I will NEVER come back to this place. I went in to get my left tire plugged because it was reading low at 24 PSI. I know it was my left tire because Ive been putting air into it for the last 2 days. My right tire read at 35 PSI. After they so-called finished working on my car, before I left the parking lot, my left tire was now reading at 35PSI and my right tire was reading at 24PSI. He charged me to plug the left tire but I was walking out with the same problem I walked in on but on the other side. I asked him if they switched the tires because its ironic that the one tire that was 24PSI is now 35PSI and vice versa. He said they didnt switch the tires. So I said that something must have happened to the other tire while they fixed the left tire. He said that they werent responsible and I couldnt prove that the right tire was low when I came in... um sir.... if my other tire was low when I came in, wouldnt it make sense that I ask you to fix both tires instead of just my left tire? He was very argumentative, accusatory and flat out rude. I asked to speak to the owner and he refused and said that he translates for her. I asked for a refund because I was walking out with the same problem I came in on, he refused ..but sarcastically offered to fix the other side at a charge... No thank you. Use this company at your own risk... if anything happens to your car under their care, they wont care... but will fix it for you for a charge...

TERRIBLE STORE/CLIENT COMMUNICATION, I mentioned I had to be somewhere in a certain time and I was assured my headlight bulb would be replaced easily with no issue. I found out I needed a connector. I was told they had it but did not tell me it would take time to get there. I finally asked how long he said 20 minutes(which I knew was b.s.) I left because I had to be across town in a hr.

So I called that I was on my way to get a tire replaced. I had to get my car towed. When I arrived at 8am the guy at the desk...who isnt the normal guy quoted a price and I asked for an oil change. I waited for 2 hrs...at one point I asked how long and I was told 15mins. When 15min became 30mins I asked him to check on my car. He comes back to tell me the tire was not replaced and they were told the wrong tire size. At no point did I tell them a tire size...thats not my damn biz. Totally not happy. This is my second and last time come here. I wonder how long they were going to tell me they had NOT replaced my tire. Bad business poor customer service.

The Worst Experience of My Life!!I must preface this by saying that this is my first time ever writing a review but I feel so compelled in this situation that I am doing this. I went to Ahns Auto Repair in Catonsville, MD. to have them recheck my alignment since I felt it pulling to the left. They had previously did the job and performed it to my satisfaction at that time. I gave my key to the guy at the desk and everything seemed fine. However, I noticed something when I saw the mechanic jump in my truck and speed off recklessly. He returned 5 minutes later and insisted that I did not need an alignment because he was a mechanic and he placed his hand on the steering wheel and the wheel did not move. He was telling me that I was on a road that was curved. I insisted that he put it on the machine because that is the reason you have one to ensure that all wheels are aligned. After this, he became irate and tells me that he is not doing this. I insisted that you have a 90 day/3,000 mile warranty and I am within the timeline to get it rechecked. He sent his son out in an attempt to reason with me and he told me I had to pay $20 to get it checked. I told him I was not paying anything else and I wanted my car aligned by the computer because that is the terms of your warranty. He returned to my car and began searching through my glove compartment looking at my service work. He then had the counter rep tell me that they would not align my car alleging that I had different tires since the last time (Reaching for more senseless justification......)I then called Baltimore County Police for illegally searching through my vehicle and the police informed them that they were in violation and I can bring a suit against them. Now I am filing a civil suit against this company and I have filed a complaint with the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulations (DLLR). They never did apologize for their actions but tried to pacify me by offering me a refund. I refused and demanded that they still do my alignment as that was the only reason I came there in the first place. They begrudgingly got another mechanic to do my alignment and I made sure that I oversaw the entire process.

I drove by the shop and saw a sign offering alignment for $50. I know alignment normally costs 80 or more, so I figured there would be hidden fees and all that. I came in and right off the bat they charge me 35 just to get the truck on a lift, and then Proceeded to type out a list of repairs that I needed, a quote coming to over 950.Inner tie rod - 69 each plus labor 210Wheel bearing - 315 part plus 140 labor(They tried to charge me for both sides and when I told the guy that the left one was replaced yesterday, he went to talk to the mechanic and quickly came back saying that I only needs the left one)Both rear wheel bearing - 80 each plus 420 laborThe original estimate I wanted for alignment isnt even on the estimate.I know mechanics are shady, but this is over the top. Im getting all the work done now for 400 at another shop.Stay Away!

Waste time and money. They are no skill then make not safety your car.Do not go to this place if you see this. If you go to repair your car needs a separate check.After a few days of buying used tires, there was a small hole inside the tire.When the air went out again and went to the first step, I couldnt figure out the cause, but just came back a few days later.I looked at it before, and there was a problem there. Mr. An says theres no repair.(-You sell and you eat it ....) 꾹 Note, then you have to pay the money?I used to say that I cant get used .. ㅠㅠAlso, to fix the front bumper dent, the mudguard should be fixed on the inside.More technical polishing is required, and more conscientious business.
