They did a good job...But you have to make sure inspection shops arent just trying to get over...Had to call locations state trooper to get my inspection pass..For a miner issue..No fog lights...And I didnt need the fog lights

I was able to get a same day appointment and had my state inspection done here. It was pretty fast (70 minutes), reasonably priced, and everyone was very nice. I waited there while my car was getting looked at; they offered me water several times and the waiting room was very comfortable. I appreciated them running through any other information I would need for my registration since I was moving from out of state as well. I plan on going back when I need an inspection again.

I just got my Maryland state inspection done today here and I couldn’t be more happy about an outstanding service provided by these group of people. I will be coming here very regularly because of the whole team who took time out to provide such an excellent service even though I initially didn’t have my wheel lock but they gave me time to bring it and still provided such a prompt service. I strongly and highly recommend them

I got a MD state inspection at Top Gear Auto Shop and am pleased with the service that I was provided. The staff were were friendly and helpful. The inspection took a bit over 90 minutes, and it is recommended that you call to make an appointment...mine was same day. I called around 10:30am on a Saturday and was told there was availability at 1pm.

I got my inspection done here and the whole team is great. They are so friendly and welcoming as well. It was the best car experience I’ve ever had to be honest. I love the service so much I am getting my repairs done at this shop too. I definitely recommend their business. I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!!

I just moved to this area about 2 months ago and needed a Maryland state inspection and an oil change and Top Gear was amazing! It is always really hard to find a reliable car shop that you can trust and also feel comfortable with as a woman and they were nothing short of AMAZING! They estimated a 90 minute wait and I threw on a Oil change and they had me in and out within an hour!

Just moved into the area and Top Gear does not disappoint! For me, they were easy to get a hold of on the phone, and at the shop they were professional, friendly, honest, and courteous. Even while I was waiting for my car in the lobby, I could tell they were trying to do whatever they could for the two phone callers, not talking down to them or gruff or anything. I totally recommend Top Gear. Im even going to return in a couple of days with another car.

I had an excellent experience getting my Maryland State Inspection at Top Gear. Availability to come in was super convenient as I was able to drive straight there after calling for an appointment. Great they are open on weekends. My wait time for the inspection was reasonable and the service was honest, friendly, and a good price. I would definitely recommend coming here and I will be returning for any work for my Prius in the future.

They did my car inspection ( recommended by Tec World) and they were actually a bit cheaper than other places who are doing state inspections. They did things in a timely matter and was pretty upfront with the work needed to pass my inspection.

Review №31

I made the mistake of getting my car inspected here. I had to pay over 800 in repairs, including a windshield replacement for a tiny chip on the driver’s side. Fair enough. But four years later and my windshield now leaks every time it rains. They say their work is only guaranteed for a year. Every windshield replacement company I’ve called has said their work has a 100% guarantee, indefinitely. Not this place. I have never heard of anyone having a leaking windshield before. So now I get to find another auto shop to fix a problem that was caused by this auto shop in the first place.

Review №32

This shop was awesome. The only one I could find to do inspections on Saturday. I really liked that you could see into the shop from both the outside and from the waiting area. Very friendly staff. My vehicle did not immediately pass (window tinting) and they were able to get me to a local shop to remove the tint and reevaluate and pass the same day. Highly recommend!

I had a very good experience here. I called ahead asking for a basic Maryland state inspection. They originally told me the inspection would take 90 minutes; but, they were done in 40 minutes and I did not have to wait in line...very prompt and friendly service.It is always nice when a place is able to give you what you ask for in less time than expected.

I love this shop. I had one small issue where one associate gave me a different price for work than the manager.Ever since, the service has been on point, I never have issues, and Im always back on the road within a few hours.Pricing is usually never too high, and the staff are helpful, knowledgeable and largely transparent.

I called for a MD state inspection on a Saturday. I REALLY needed it done fast! They took me right in. Did their job, offered me a cold drink, and finished really fast. They were warm in conversation and even complimented my car. I felt really great about the experience. I even heard them talking to a customer about a repair and was explaining all of the costs and why it needed repaired. Very open. When my warranty runs out, I will definitely come here for repairs. Thank You, Top Gear!Later I did find a circular scratch on my black painted wheel from where the mechanic took the tire off and rebalanced it. Not sure why they didnt cover it. Probably a clamp while spin balancing. Im changing my rating.

Review №48

Misleading and you better have plenty of time to wait for your vehicle. The workers might come off as friendly, but by the time you get your vehicle looked at they will say that Everything is wrong with it !! They are definitely about getting as much money from you as possible.

Review №51

Go somewhere else. 3/11/2019Was told Saturday to come back Monday to replace right control arm. Fine. I said I’d be there when they opened at 8am. They said great, it should take 60-90 minutes. Got there today at 8am, was then told they would have me out in an hour. I didn’t leave the shop until 10:45am. At one point, I overheard who i imagine is the owner/manager tell the staff person to stop work on my car and prioritize another one. That is fine, business decisions need to be made to the detriment of customers some times but at least tell me that it is going to take longer. I expressed my dissatisfaction upon payment. No denial that they pushed my car to the side to work on something else. No apology. No interest in trying to make things “right”.Long story short:- not transparent- not honest- terrible at setting proper expectations- zero emotional intelligenceThere are plenty of businesses that do inspections and repairs in the area with similar reviews. Go elsewhere.

Review №53

Just dont go here to get an inspection. They nit-pick to try to get you to pay extra. Failed on window tint, said they were above 35%, I have paperwork from installation saying theyre 25%. Said one tire was too worn, measured it and well within regulations, only a year old. Theyll charge 400 bucks just for those? Keep looking if you want a honest mechanic.

Went in for a state inspection without an appointment. They took me right away and were upfront about the cost. $79. One of the least expensive in town. Did a thorough job with inspection and had me out of their in 90 min. Professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend.

Needed to get my car maryland inspected in a hurry. I called around and found this place..before they started the car he said it wouldnt pass because the dark tint on the car..He told me I can continue or take them off and come back.. I decided to take the tint off and come back.. When I came back they checked the car and everything passed.. It was hard trying to get this done on a Saturday..I am happy I found them..

Review №68

DO NOT COME HERE. Came here for a state inspection. I paid $79.99. This auto shop just wants to make money off you because they fail your inspection and when we asked for an estimated cost of repair for the things that didn’t pass they said it was around $900. We went to another auto repair shop in Hyattsville and the car passed the state inspection there. Scammers to make money and they make it seem like they have your best interest in mind. Save your time and don’t come here.

Guys are so awesome and very polite. I was having a bad day but they didnt even got a wrinkle on their face. These people knew what they were doing and how to take care of the car. I recommend this for any kind of work regarding vehicles. This would be the stop for my cars.

Weve experienced Top Gear Auto Shop teams business ethic; Good people, do honest, efficient work and treat all people with kindness and curtesy. Their style of work seems its their personal passion. We could not find another mechanic shop as great as this team. They share information to keep you well informed about what auto issue/concern is and what needs to be done to correct the problems quickly. They are also super-great at preventing upcoming problems too. They helped us feel secure and safe with their service. We trusted Top Gear Auto Shop as much to assure my youngest childs first, used car was in good, safe, reliable hands. That old car still runs great. We gladly bring our other car/truck(s). We very strongly trust Top Gear Auto Shop for Total Car Care. The the best weve ever encountered.

I took my car to Top Gear for a state inspection and was extremely pleased with the service I received. The waiting room isnt spectacular but I was willing to deal with that to save $60 (the car dealer wanted to charge me $140 for an inspection!) The staff at Top Gear is very friendly and accommodating, and I ended up bringing my husbands car for an inspection too. Definitely recommend!

Review №77

Absolutely exceptional service. Honest, friendly, and sincere. Today I had a traumatic personal experience, I went to pick my car up and when asked about how I was doing, shared my experience. Not only was Naveed kind and empathized with my situation, he later sent a follow up to make sure I was safe and assured me that things would be okay. I am in awe of how wonderful I was treated from the moment I called to make my appointment, how quickly the service was done, how honest they are, and just how above and beyond they went. There arent enough warm words that I could use to express how highly I would recommend them to anything. Thank you, Top Gear!

I really dont take no pleasure in writing reviews but i could nothold back on this one. I been a mechanic for over 30yrs specializing in toyota and honda for several dealerships and now in my personal life.The Md state Inspection was such a joke the things we new was bad going in he did not fail lol, but did not hesitate to offer me a repair estimate for the items that he did fail. Oh by the way those items was not bad.Good Luck

Review №84

The customer service here is horrible. I came into ask for quote and the owner/worker sat down in the waiting chairs and preceded to have a personal phone call while I was waiting to be served. When I starting saying hello and looking to see if someone was working in the front office, he got off the phone, but continued to sit down and when he asked what I wanted. I thought he was someone waiting for their car to be finished. I said I had a few questions, he didnt attempt to move to the desk or anything. Didnt attempt to look anything up. I would never come here. I told him that his service was horrible and left

This Auto shop is A scam when it comes to Maryland State inspections! I went there twice and my vehicle still failed !😒After the first time I fixed Everything that was wrong with my truck for it to pass inspection I came two weeks later for the reinspection for them to tell me I have to get a brand new inspection because I went over a 1,000 miles which they failed to tell me that on my first visit !I came back for the third tome to get my truck fully inspected again to find out the First inspector missed alot of stuff wrong with my truck to make me fail AGAIN....... They have horrible customer service !I believe they keep failing ppl so that they can get more moneyAnd they lie they do not take an hour to do inspections they take 3 both times i was in that shop for 3 hrsOn the 3rd time I was the first one there at 8am and i didnt leave till 11Worst experience ever ! I will never return not even for my re inspection.......

Review №92

They waste your time(if you opt to bring in your parts) and when they order for you thier prices are double...spoilt something that was ok before I brought in my car for inspection and asked me to be responsible for it, after going back and forth and i look at the time and i realize they wont do nothing about it. Only for 1of em to tell to take a decision asap as my car will be moved out. I was half way to get the part and was called that the boss said I should buy the whole part even when have confirmed with the guy that does the job(Melvin). Their reason was that they had no tools to fix the rubber that was spoilt. My candid advice for anyone who intends to visit this place...dont do more than inspection and alignment. Take your repair else where. Good thing about here is they offer you water and Melvin is a good guy too.

Review №97

Its been four years since i have know Top Gear. Ever since then a lot of my relatives and friends have made their trips to the place.It was about four years ago. I remember everything vividly. It was a hot summer day. It seemed business as usual for the world except for me. I had several appointments to meet that day, a dentist appointment for my daughter, a regular health check up for my son, and a visit to my auto dealer. when I went to my car and turned the key on, it would not start. I kept trying for many times in vain. Worried and exhausted, i call my friend Suja. At once she gave me the no. to Auto Gear Shop. In no time they came and toed my car to their place. With all the courtesy I could have, they had me sit down on their lobby and in no time was it fixed.I was now afraid of the service fee they would charge, but no, it was nowhere close to what I had feared. It was way too cheap. Except for a little delay to my first appointment, I made all other appointments on time. Thanks to the extraordinary job of Top Gear. I told this story to a lot of my relatives and friends, most of whom are now Top Gears die hard fans.

I was in a bit of a fix the other day when my car broke down. But thankfully, when I called my brother, he recommended top gear auto shop, to me. Im glad to say, the service there exceeded my expectations. Not only were they extremely cordial in their conduct but they were efficient in their work, too. Every problem was taken care of, in no time and I was very satisfied with the results. I would recommend top gear auto shop, to everyone.
