Had a great experience with AutoStream getting my car up and running. The customer service reps were all super friendly and helpful. I appreciated the diagnostics, and the turnaround was fast. If necessary, I will be back!!
Steward and Chad were GREAT with assistance. Stew called to give me updates on my car and went over everything with me including the price so there were no surprises when it came time to pay. The workers here are efficient and my car is running normal again! Overall great service. Will recommend and come back again.
AutoStream is obviously a customer first, forward thinking auto shop. Came here after Monro changed hands and lost quality (was a loyal, long time customer before that). A large driver of my high praise review is the online detailed list of your cars noted issues, images included, that you then have the decision power over what to address and what can wait until later (The team also gave advice on these decisions). Likely not the cheapest place to get maintenance done, the quality of care seems worthwhile to a first time customer (also plenty of coupons and incentives available to the public that are happily accepted).I plan to be returning with enthusiasm to AutoStream Hampden and look forward to taking advantage of all their offerings.
There is no better place to take your car than this business. They are caring and do great work. Chad helped me with my car and was so helpful and professional .They filled my tires with air for free! Will not be taking my car anywhere else except this business.
Recently visited AutoStream Car Care in Hampden again for an inspection and maintenance on a used car I recently got, and they did not disappoint! They remain the most professional, caring, and diligent mechanics I have ever been to.If, like me, you do not have much background in car maintenance it can be really frightening and frustrating when youre forced to trust mechanics to treat you fairly and do good work. Well good news, these guys can be your final stop. Their inspection service explains the use and importance of every item of maintenance they recommend, and the staff is patience and knowledgeable. I cant recommend this place enough, I know I wont be going elsewhere.Oh, bonus points: they have a shuttle to take you home after youve dropped off your car.
Easy to get an appt. Loved the electronic inspection report I got by text, made it super easy to make decisions. Zero pressure to move forward with recommended services. Car was ready super early. Communication was smooth and the staff friendly. Will definitely go back the next time my car needs service.
One of the best independent automotive repair shops Ive used. The mechanics have always been fast and accurate at diagnosing problems, and the service is dependably excellent. I especially appreciate the photographs they include in their reports: it helps me decide what work needs to be done urgently and what can wait. Highly recommended after many years of relying on them to care for our Honda and Acura vehicles.
We love this place! So professional, and I love that they tell you what services you can wait on if you dont want to do everything right away. All the staff members Ive interacted with are really nice. Well be back!
I took my Jeep in for its 100,000 mile inspection last week and, as I wanted it done right, I took it to the place with the reputation for doing it right. It is one thing to skimp on smaller items but I considered this to be an opportunity to really address everything that needed to be addressed. AutoStream was comprehensive and thorough, and backed up its recommendations with a detailed report with photographs of trouble spots. The work they did was top-notch. I recommend this place.
I have both our vehicles serviced here; a MINI Countryman and Jeep Grand Cherokee. They do great work and are always upfront and honest. They are clearly looking to build long term clients.
This is the best experience I’ve had when it comes to car care and repair around the world (and I’ve lived in three different countries!). These folks take your car, give you a full report during the day (to your phone and/or email) with fully detailed photos, and work with you and your budget to cover either everything or the most critical parts that need work. Very happy with the service, car’s adjustments were spot on was blazing fast. Good job folks! Will definitely come back to check the car again in the future.
Had a great experience here after I accidentally punctured the sidewall of a tire on a shoddy Baltimore city curb. Fast, professional service, done properly and faster than expected. Shout out to Stu, who handled everything and got me back on the road. Would highly recommend.
Had my vehicle towed in with a completely dead battery, and knew I was overdue on some maintenance (that’s a bit of an understatement). We had used Brentwood Auto at this location over many years and for various vehicles. Rest assured, the new ownership and crew are friendly, quick and professional. I got a very detailed inspection report with photos of my vehicle’s parts and problems. Turn around time for an after hours drop off and everything I needed was quick. After hours pick up with automated safe key drop is so convenient! So glad I still have a dependable shop so close to home. Did I mention, “Hey! Why is my car so clean?” Such a nice perk to leave with a car that drives like new, but to make it look and smell new, too? Thanks so much!
Had my car towed to the Hampden location after I could no longer start it. No prior appt or experience with them, they just happened to be the closest shop in the area. They gave the most detailed diagnostic I have ever received from any other shop. And Ive had multiple done this year. Even with all the problems that my car has, they didnt push or pry to hurry and take my money. They gave me the info I needed to make an informed decision about repairs on the car.I dealt mainly with Stu and David, who were both great. Extra special thanks to David who helped me after hours when my vehicle crapped out on me again. I would highly recommend.
The service here is prompt, the people are great, and they warranty the parts. But after quite a few years of going here, I got an unusually high quote for work on my older car that, once investigated, was close to twice as much as two other estimates and general inquiries on forums for the work on my particular car. If you want the white glove treatment and dont mind paying dearly for it, this is your place.If you have an older car that maybe you just want to keep running and want a creative mechanic who will make that work in a budget-friendly way --- Id search elsewhere...
From the moment my wife and I dropped off our car to see what was wrong with it, these guys were top notch. Extremely professional from start to finish, it was evident that these folks know their stuff, and have a knack for being able to explain what’s going on so that even a car novice can understand. Stu, at the front desk, was super personable, and exceptionally honest/straightforward about what made sense to fix/not fix. We loved the experience so much we even brought our other vehicle in for them to inspect. 100% recommend this shop!
Came in for state inspection on my recently purchased vehicle.Stu (sorry if I misspelled it) got me in and out quickly and with no hiccups. My car didnt pass inspection first go around, which was expected, but they got me up to code and ready to go in a day. They even got the repairs done earlier than they quoted me for! I definitely plan to come back for the minor things I know still need work. Considering the service, Ill probably become a regular here!
Dave Chad and Stu are good people. They helped me find the emissions place and gave me their number and address. Very nice. Will use them again.
I went in without an appointment. They said it might be a few days before they could look at it since they were booked, but they managed to do a diagnostic on the same day. The report came back with photos of needed repairs and a rating system of Urgent to Regular maintenance items. After having time to review the report on my own, I conferenced the team to determine a plan that fit my budget. I needed major repairs which were completed within two days of bringing the car in. In short, I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff, the detailed description with photos of needed repairs, and the quality of the work.
Wasnt too happy with my recent experiences with AutoStream. Called and scheduled an appointment a few days in advance. Dropped my car off the night before so they could start on it in the morning. At 3pm that day, they call to say they cant get to it that day. I bring the car back the following week and the report was thorough but a few items were listed based on mileage but not actual examination. One being an air filter that I literally replaced myself the day before I dropped off. This made me a little reluctant to believe all the items on the list were actual concerns. Anyway, the makeup appointment was scheduled but they didnt have parts and had to keep my car over the weekend. I pick up the car to find a new rattling sound that was not there previously. So the following week, I made another appointment to check off another concerning item on my list and to have them check the new rattling. Once again, I made the appointment but the parts werent there and wanted to keep the car over the weekend. They mentioned test-driving the car and hearing no rattling. I knew this was a lie because its quite obvious when you ride over the slightest bump. I have to bring the car back once again after the parts arrived and it comes to find out that the parts were defective and I shouldnt have been driving the car! The employees are professional but I think they cover up a lot of chaos that happens in the actual garage. I had taken my car here for a couple years when it was Brentwood, but seems the new place is not the same and I dont intend on going back. I wasnt going to leave a review, but they asked me to.
The team here is very thorough and helpful. Great service every time weve taken our cars here!
This place is sort of amazing. I took my car in for an ongoing engine issue, and Stu got to work and had the car fixed in record time. Throughout the process, he called with updates and explained what was going on with the car. Honestly, I didnt think the problem could be fixed (took it numerous other places); but, a couple of days later, it was working better than ever and ready to go. I highly recommend this place!!! THANKS!!!
The first time I brought my new car in here for an oil change, they wouldnt let me pay for an oil change I didnt need (car was too new, not enough miles on it), which I really appreciated. Just got an oil change done (needed this time!) plus routine maintenance, and everything went great.
These guys really go above and beyond to earn their reputation. They are honest, understanding, courteous, and professional. The nicest experience Ive had with a mechanic in a long time.
I had a quick visit here to replace an uncommon sized wiper blade. Dave tried so hard to find one in stock that would fit my vehicle. I ended up having to wait for them to have one delivered but Dave and Stu made my wait effortless. They had many suggestions for great places to eat and even drove me there!
I needed an inspection, oil change, air conditioning recharge, power steering repair, AC recharge and other things. They did it all in about three days. They also included my veterans discount in the price. I wish I could give six stars.
They are very fast and deciated to making sure you get the best experience with your car. The professionalism that they give makes you come back every time. I will highly recommend this place.
Id been using Heritage VW for my 2017 Golf because I worked out there. But I live in Baltimore City and work at home since COVID. I am so pleased with how quickly these guys were able to get me in and service my car! They are pleasant and I trust them. I used Brentwood years ago, so it feels a bit like coming home. :-)
While driving today my dashboard suddenly lit up that something was wrong with my tire pressure. I immediately called AutoStream who told me to come right over. In the pouring rain, they checked and adjusted all four tires. I was in and out in 5 minutes. Professional, friendly, responsive, and always take the time to explain and answer questions. Love these guys!
When this property went by Brentwood Automotive, I had multiple negative experiences and started taking my business elsewhere.When I saw they changed to AutoStream, I decided to give them another chance.100% improvement in customer service and I’ve had no problems with any of their work. Definitely recommend.
Great punctuality, service, and customer care. Fair pricing and great explanations. Received copy of work both in print and email with photos. I plan to continue using Autostream as my car service specialists.
I love these guys. I have been coming here for years . I know nothing about cars and trust them to tell me what I need to do and what I can hold off on. Stru in particular is always so helpful
I knew this place was shady when the person in line in front of me accepted their offer of a $70 inspection. When I declined it, they were happy to offer it free of charge… After my oil change, they “found” $2300 of repairs and maintenance. I called another mechanic who said, “I’ve never even heard of a Prius needing that, and certainly not at 60k miles. Are you sure?”I took the car to the second mechanic who confirmed that none of the repairs were needed and the maintenance wasn’t required for at least another 40k miles.When I picked it up from them, the technician poked his head from the back and asked “are you coming from the Autostream in hampden? You’re the third person this week coming from them with a long list of stuff they said was wrong!”
Ive taken my car to Brentwood a number of times and always received excellent service. When a large plastic bag got caught on and wrapped around my drive shaft, they removed it on the spot, no appointment and at no additional charge. Friendly, efficient, professional, courteous. Highly recommend!
Great staff. One that could clearly explained the in-depth diagnostic test I got. Made recommendations and showed the most pressing issues to fix. Kept me up to date on every step of the repair process. Will be returning.
Great business! I realized I had a flat tire and the guys changed it for me right there on the spot. Despite the shop closing up within five minutes, they were really nice and got me back on the road asap. Ill definitely be going there again!
After an attempted Cat. converter theft, my under panel was hanging off. I came in at 5:00 and by 530 they had fixed it for me AT NO CHARGE. Wow, I was really impressed. Super well run shop!
Very helpful and provided a great checkup. I got to have everything fixed that I needed and I could choose what I wanted to do today or later on. Finished in time that I needed today and received a great online review of my car with photos since I had to go to work. It’s great to have someplace close in town to get these fixes. Previously they helped me with a bad tire and have since returned. If you need a place close-by to do the work quickly, I recommend their care and expertise.
Stopped in because I needed air in my tires. The staff at AutoStream were quick, efficient, and polite. I will use them in the future!
AutoStream repaired a tire with a nail puncture and provided an overall inspection and review. They did an excellent job. They fixed the tire quickly and professionally and provided and thorough and careful inspection. I highly recommend them.
I have used Autostream in Hampden for everything from routine oil changes to tires/alignment to map sensor replacement and they exceed my expectations every time. Sly especially takes great care of my 9 year old Volkswagen to keep it running like new. They are honest about repair recommendations and deliver quality work!
I had a Maryland state inspection done. Crew members fast and professional. They did a great job. I would definitely recommend their company.
Couldn’t be happier with this place! We brought our car in for an oil change and a general inspection after being in a minor accident. Within a few hours I received a detailed inspection list, with photos, and a clean bill of health for the car. I really liked the transparency of the inspection and getting to see a photo of what they saw. This place will definitely have my business going forward.
Friendly, responsive, and on-time! I called and got an inspection appointment within a couple of days. They offered early drop-off and an accurate window time for my inspection. The best part is the pick-up and drop-off service offered by their driver, which completely removed the concern for having to bother someone to pick me up or pay for an uber. Ive never had that offered before, but would definitely recommend AutoStream to anyone.
Called in for an estimate for tires for my 2011 Honda CR-V. The tire quote was reasonable, but I also wanted to know how much lower control arms would cost. Stu (who was very professional) ensured me that my vehicle should be looked over and given a complete check over for my vehicle for only $70! He also said that if control arms would be needed, they would be have a lifetime warranty! That is amazing and I will be in very soon.
I feel fortunate that this garage is within walking distance of my home. I chose it for the sake of convenience, but have been very impressed by the quality of service. I recently brought in my new car for a state inspection, and I will continue to bring it in for future servicing.
Quick service at a reasonable price. I feel lucky to have them close to home.
Was in town for 4 days before heading on a months-long road trip. I had to get my new (used) car a MD state inspection. They got me in right away and, when the car failed for 2 small things, they got it fixed in less than an hour so I could get my tags and get on the road. Stu was super helpful and professional. Highly recommend.
This is the only place I will go to in Baltimore! Everyone is so friendly, professional, and they go out of their way to help you. Their rewards program has saved me money, and they always have my repairs done super quickly. Couldnt recommend them enough!
I had a state inspection done here, they have great staff, the service was prompt and well communicated. Pricing is also very competitive. Would recommend!
Honest, reliable, responsive. The recommendations provided via email before committing to work is helpful because because it gave me time to think through costs.
I have been having my car serviced by Brentwood now Autostream over the past several years and truly impressed with their overall upgrades with everything and continue to be very reliable in addressing my car issues. Just recently my car had a major issue and I was within a few blocks from the shop. I was able to bring my car in right away and the guys immediately jumped in to diagnose the problem. I received an email with pictures of the problem areas and recommendations (very nice upgraded feature). Although the car could not be ready that particular day, they offered a loaner vehicle which has been upgraded from the vehicles they had in the past. I was very pleased with the service and will continue to have my car serviced by Autostream. They are very professional and very reliable and very impressed with there new level of service.
Good communication. Friendly staff. They provided me a ride home from the shop and were very knowledgeable and punctual.
Quick, friendly service. They sent a detailed report of the checkup with pictures and detailed explanation on why they rated it the way they did. Will go back here when I have car trouble.
Fast, convenient, and competitive pricing. The shop is also close to JHU so for anyone who lives around this area, it would be a good idea to service your car here.
Terrific local business with all the professionalism every car owner appreciates. Kind, thoughtful, responsive, excellent service--Brentwood goes out of their way to fix the problem and satisfy the customer!
This was my first time to use Brentwood for service--my car was no longer under warranty. I had an engine malfunction warning light. Brentwood managed to squeeze me into their tight schedule and correct my problem. I appreciate their extra effort to help me out as well as their excellent service.
They completed their service ahead of schedule, allowing us to not have to make special arrangements for our regular schedule. They were extremely friendly and willing to answer all questions.
Had my car inspected here. It cost $99.95. No complaints.
Brought it in for state inspection. They were thorough, timely, friendly. Couldn’t ask for better service.
Took my car in to diagnose a suspension clunk and a rattle, both easily repeatable. They gave me no diagnosis, just said well the clunk rarely happens and we dont know (the clunk happens just about anytime you pull into a parking lot, or go over uneven pavement) and they also told me the rattle that I hear over every single bump doesnt exist, even though Ive recorded it and multiple passengers have commented on it. So I paid 70$ for someone to give me a more useless diagnosis than I gave them to start with.Cant recommend staying away enough, they wont even try to fix anything, just take your money.Edit: As said, multiple people have heard the noise, and I have recorded it, not a phantom noise. Telling your customers they dont hear a noise that does exist and is documented is a very strange way to do business. Further proof of their extreme lack of professionalism.
The employees at AutoStream Car Care - Brentwood on 41st street are true professionals. I took my car in for an oil change and check engine light diagnostic. They let me know exactly what the issues were and the cost. They also let me know that my brakes and spark plugs will need to be changes in the near future, but not just yet. I took my car in on a Friday afternoon and they let me know the estimated cost of parts and labor within 2-3 hours. They needed to order a part and were able to give me a loaner vehicle for the weekend. My car is running great and I have the knowledge of upcoming services that may potentially be required in the next 3-9 months.My girlfriend and I had previously used them for oil changes and tire changes and were impressed with their professionalism and efficiency then as well. Overall a hardworking, trustworthy, considerate 5 star team.Ask them about their rewards system too. Repeat customers can build up points to help pay for their services. Highly recommend taking your vehicle to them for any issues. Thank you!
This place does great work and can be reliable. They fixed my tire quickly in a last-minute situation a while back, which was great. A few weeks ago I made an appointment for 2pm on a Friday, but when I showed up, they were not sure if they could get to it that day. Basically canceled my appointment with no notice once I showed up. As a single-car-family, we will likely choose another more reliable car service option.
Professional and friendly service, and they give rewards discounts for return customers
Best service, very professional and timely.Nice people in customer service, definitely will recommend this car care center 10 starts you guys!
Thorough and timely service. Thanks for the loaner car!
As always Dave was eager to help me replace a tire. He had me in an out within an hour. Offered me a ride as with Covid there is no waiting room. I live close so I walked.I have been going there for a few years and they always take great care of me. I was so grateful!
Stopped in this morning for a tire repair on a run-flat tire. They fixed me up in short order and Im very satisfied. These guys are pros and would recommend them without qualification. Ill be back, for sure!
On the recommendation of local friends who also have a Prius, I brought my 2014 Prius here when I moved to Baltimore for inspection for registration. Everyone was friendly and the service was good and reasonable. Ive been back 2 more times, most recently for a dead battery and each time Ive been pleased. Ease of mind having a car mechanic you can trust to do good work.
I have been using Auto Stream Brentwood shop for several years and they have always been excellent. Fair prices and quick service.
Fantastic place. They did a free inspection on my car and informed me of things that required attention. Oil change was decently priced. Would recommend!
My old miata[2001] was stalling.recent alternator became faulty.after a complete review of the cars woes.they replaced the alternator.$700 w/labour.accurate,timely repair,improvement over the old shop that was there.they have my business.sadly I drive old cars and they will see me more often than I wish.
Straightforward and reliable, always do what they say theyre going to do
Needed a new tire to replace a flat, they got in on for me next day (I came in late the day before), got my car back, no hassle for me. They also checked the car to see what other issues it might have and let me know what I may need to look at in the future. 0 complaints here
Rainy work day morning and the rear tire blows out. Perfect, right?Fortunately, BrentWood/AutoStream came to the rescue. Stuart and the team were gracious and quick, and gave me a couple of options for fixing the problem. They have been a big part of our community for a long time. Easy to see why they are so appreciated: They created a hassle free solution to an unexpected situation in the pouring rain. Thank you, Stuart!You and your team are Bmoreamazing!
I bought a used car off Facebook yesterday (12/23/2020). Once I received the car after driving it for a few miles, found out the cylinder was misfiring and the check engine light came on.I went in around 2:30 pm dropped the car off and received a phone call the car was ready by 5 pm.Dave provided excellent customer service with care, extremely patient with all my delays, and very professional. Very friendly environment. Fast, time-efficient, and excellent productivity. Honestly, after the day I had he definitely helped me see the glass half full, due to his customer service.Amazing job!I highly recommend that if you are in need of car repairs and MD State Inspection that you go here.
Quick service very appreciated!
The staff is really nice and helpful.. They honestly explain what is wrong with your vehicle, and give you there opinions on what is best..
Great service, very busy but still managed to fit me in and preform the fix for my tires.
I just got my car back from a routine oil change and yearly check up, and am very pleased with the experience. Scheduling an appointment was very easy, and they called me midday to discuss suggested my options for their recommended maintenance. They werent pushy at all, and when I looked at the itemized receipt, I was charged a fair price for everything- from parts to labor. I really appreciate their professionalism and general friendliness - over the phone, and in person. Plus, everyone was wearing masks! WOOT for COVID safety! This is my new go-to place for oil changes and other maintenance.
Hands down one of the best experiences Ive had trying out a new repair place. They were thorough with their repairs and even took the extra time to make sure the issues I was having hadnt spread to other parts of the car. Not only did they do a great job on my car but I felt believed and respected the entire time, which is a pretty big deal as a single woman with limited car knowledge. They also have a super convenient system for after hours pick-up/drop off and online/text communications to help keep track of future maintenance needs. Im so happy to have found this place and will definitely be back as long as Im living in Baltimore.
Truly exceptional service! on time arrival to service flat tire; took it to care center and within two hours had tire repaired, balanced, and remounted. Very professional and courteous; service charge was very reasonable, considering that mechanic had to come to my residence, remove tire, install spare, and then drive car to care center for reinstallation of original tire. would heartily recommend AutoStream to all!
Fred and Stu were extremely helpful when I brought in my old beater G35X to confirm whether Firestone had done a good job. Freds team spent a couple hours checking it very thoroughly and found a couple mistakes on Firestones part.Its rare for you to find a trusted mechanic but when you do theyre worth their weight in gold.Highly recommend this business.
I only got air in my tires hut Chad and everyone I encountered was very nice and professional. They didn’t charge for the air and Chad would not accept a tip. I will be back for more services.
I’ve been to Brentwood Automotive multiple times. I went a few days ago for my tires. I called them and they were able to get me in the same day. I dropped off my car, they told me upfront what I can expect in terms of costs and variables associated to different situations. Within four hours I had a call that my car was read to be picked up. Everyone is always polite, understanding, efficient, and quick. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic Brentwood Automotive is highly recommended.
Went in looking for hard to find wipers. The y were able to find them very quickly and they were super pleasant and friendly.
Been here 3 different times now and have always received quality care and great customer service.
Always greeted and taken care of by the most polite of staff (Stew is the man)! Never have an issue getting my car in when I need to and always pick it up in a timely manner. The most important is the work never needs repeated and price always seems reasonable and makes sense for the issue(s) found unlike some dealerships in the area. Bummed I had a $25 reward I forgot to use but know Ill be able to apply that towards something else in the future.I enjoy this shop has a rewards program now and can assist with roadside assistance if need be. Ill continue in bringing my car here when possible.
I brought a car in to get inspected. The inspection was done quickly and they provided multiple pictures and recommendations as for future work that could be done without any sales pressure.
Great job. The PVI is very useful. Autostream (Brentwood) fixed my brakes with care and made sure they functioned correctly.
They performed a state inspection for me and performed some maintenance issues for me. They’re very professional. They even gave me a ride home and picked me up when it was ready.
Wonderful people, had our car in and out within 30 minutes! Very considerate and great customer service.
Got an oil change and a battery replacement done. I was very happy with their phone manner and their summary reports with photo documentation. Ill be back!
Replaced clutch on 2011 Mazda. They completed in the time frame quoted, and everything is good so far!
Took my car here twice so far; first to replace a blown out tire and second for some maintenance work. Both times these guys were incredibly quick, helpful, and professional. Ill be coming back for any of my future car needs.
Came to them for my MD inspection after moving here from CA; friendly, communicative, and up-front about costs. Will absolutely be using them again!
The folks at Brentwood are helpful over the phone and in person, have patience, and looked out for me as a customer. I had a complicated question that they handled over the phone. I once went in and they told me I didnt have to have an optional service, so I went right back in when I actually needed it. Im a huge fan of the explanation videos that explain what was fixed and why. Solid experience with these guys.
As a longtime Brentwood customer, I continue to highly recommend these mechanics. Dave, Cody, Stu, and Ken are a great team!
I LOVE this place.No sure why the 5 star rating I gave didnt stick.Now corrected.Everyone there is very knowledgeable and very pleasant ! Excellent service.
