"On the recommendation of my insurance company StateFarm, I thought I would try Openbay for the first time.
First thing I noticed at the closest and best priced location was no AC in the waiting room and it was like a hotbox with the door closed.
The oil change and 95K inspection took 1.25 hours. I asked what all was included with the 95K inspection before service began and I was told that he would check and get back to me.
He asked a few moments later, and so I told him about the emergency brake malfunction causing the alert sound and when it occurred. I believed that his inquiry and my response to it would lead to a diagnosis at the very least on how to correct it.
I sat in the waiting area for the entire time waiting for the info on the inspection details.
At the end of the time, he slid the paper across the counter and said, “Okay, you’re all done.”
I asked what they thought was the issue with the parking brake malfunction and I was told, ‘We didn’t look at that.”
I was in a hurry at lunchtime so I saw it said 95,000 mile inspection performed on my receipt and I figured I would read the details later. When I finally sat down to review, there were no details at all! I sent a message asking what, if anything, was found after the inspection. I was told: “50% on all the brakes and tires look good with a sound that seemed to be coming from the suspension”.
(Was the inspection really performed? I have no way of knowing and do not feel very confident given the lengths I had to go to get a response.)
Now I have a vibration and tire noise coming from the front end after the tire rotation that I never had before. I will NOT be taking my car back there ever again. I’m going to go back to my VW dealership or try another garage.
I think I might try NTB, (which was not on the list Openbay provided), but NTB quoted a much cheaper price over the phone than the $118 I ‘ended up’ pre-paying for an all-synthetic oil change, and ‘possibly’ a 95K inspection.)
The “convenience” of prepaying is not worth the hassle that followed. Get it right the first time by addressing potential issues as they are presented to you as the decision maker and pay for service at the end once you are satisfied that the service you wanted has actually been performed to your level and standards of approval."

"I had a great experience with this auto repair shop! The prices are very affordable, and the mechanics are highly professional. Dmitriy, in particular, is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. I also appreciate that you can bring your own parts, which makes repairs even more cost-effective. I will definitely continue servicing my car here and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a great price!"

"Took my new used-car purchase to them today for a Maryland vehicle inspection - They had me in-and-out in an hour, and the price was more than reasonable. I will definitely keep them in mind for future car needs."

"These guys are great! I was referred to them by a friend who spoke very highly of them. While visiting the shop, I met two people there and both had nothing but good things to say about Tolker. One guy has been a customer for 15 years and said he won't take his car anywhere else and the other guy said he loves how they do such honest and professional work. Today was my second visit and I can say that they are fair, honest, and do excellent work. I'm so glad to have found such great automotive repair shop to work on my car. Thanks Dmitry and Michael!"
Edu C.
"As some people have mentioned parking here is a nightmare, but these guys get the job done. Friendly, competent and, most important, honest! They told me the problem in my car was fuel pump, and that the warranty should cover that, instead of just replacing it and charging me a fortune. They did the diagnostic and didn't change anything. I highly recommend them!"
Rajiv Neal
"I was completely satisfied with them after my recent visit. They also took care of an unrelated issue while fixing my headlight. The price was reasonable and fair. I highly recommend this place for your auto repair services."
