Silver Spring Auto Repair

Exceptional service at affordable prices. So glad to find a reputable, reliable small business like Allen Automotive.

40+ years of keeping my cars in like new condition. One is 27 years old.

Very fast and friendly service...

I am happy for your service thank you so much see you next time.

This garage is a big scam. They diagnosed my car with an alternator and a battery issues, the mechanic lied to me that my battery was leaking and the estimate labor and parts were almost '$1,800. I finally decided to tow my car to my regular mechanic and 500 labor plus alternator. If you want to be ripped off than the allen automotive is your place. Find yourself a reliable mechanic, Allen automotive is not recommendedable.

Stole $200 cash from my vehicle and searched the glovebox(everything was on the floor) they had clearly stolen the money and cards they found but denied showing CCTV footage and also denied all the allegations as well as any refunds. They started getting disrespectful (insults) when I confronted them and bragged about how they (allegedly) earn “6 figures” annually . My car was returned with transmission issues that had never happened before (randomly shutting off between shifts) and claimed that the ecu was “getting used to the recent maintenance” which is a myth and incorrect. Quoted me for things that weren’t even checked by the mechanics and were recently replaced. Prices are also on the higher side, watch what you pay for because they waste no time quoting you tons of services and telling you your car needs a lot of work. [Note: I’m 100% sure $200 cash and two gift cards were stolen these are not empty accusations (cupholder and small red bag) as I checked RIGHT before I gave them the car as insurance but didn’t take any pictures otherwise serious action would be taking place immediately, but police report in progress]

Repeat customers. Have used Allen Automotive for many years and very satisfied.

Very happy with the service there. Very friendly, listened to my concerns, had me back on the road in no time. Did not try to upsell me on other repairs. Fair pricing, great work. I now have a better place to have work done. Highly recomend!

Great work, done under estimate!

I've been using Allen Automotive for years, and have really appreciated their expertise. One example: one of my cars did not have a transmission fluid change until 160K miles (3x longer than recommended). AA has a machine that cleans and conditions the fluid before replacement, that totally saved my transmission. Just one example of their superior service.
