Consumer Comments for Century Auto Service

Consumer from DARNESTOWN, MD

Left the interior of the car with the rear view and side mirrors adjusted to the needs of the technician(s), not me. Caused problems when I was on the road, needed to use the mirrors and couldn't see a thing. Also left the radio set to their preferred station, with very loud volume. Finally, told me I needed new breaks, and when I checked later with both the dealer and another mechanic, was told I did not.

Neutral rating on this business. They completed the work in a timely manner. Costs were much higher than other places I checked - despite being highly rate for costs. The business was conveniently located. Don't know that is enough to justify a repeat visit. Most mechanics provide options - none were offered by this business.
