    Quality work and the best customer service! I came in 5 mins before closing, after getting a jump start on the day after Thanksgiving. They quickly replaced my battery and ran a quick diagnostic to be sure that was the only issue so I wouldn’t be stranded again later. The owner was kind and courteous, and the service was quick and thorough. Highly recommend C&D Auto Service!

    Really patient and kind staff. Gave us passes to the aviation museum to help entertain my daughter while waiting for my car. Even called jiffy lube for me because they wouldn't respond to my calls when they found something jiffy lube did wrong during my oil change. I will definitely go back to them.

    My family has taken our cars to C & D for 20 years. It is comforting to have a mechanic we can trust. Our brakes were squealing, so I took them in. It would've been easy to say we needed new pads & rotors, but they told us they were fine - just rusty because we don't drive much. It's a family business, and my everyone who works there is really nice. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could

    My car was crushed by a tree last week and was totaled, C & D auto were easy to work with throughout the repair estimate process, and the techs were very nice and helpful when I came by to pick up my tags and stuff from the car before the insurance company came to take the car away.

    C&D Auto was able to replace the drive belt and tensioner on my car for a fraction of the price the dealer quoted me! They got me in and out the on the same day, and when my train was delayed they even stayed past close to allow me to pick it up. I can’t recommend them enough!

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

The staff is very helpful, friendly, and professional. I,ve taken my Chevy HHR there twice. Once for a leaky fuel line, and the second time for major repairs to the front end (not body, but control arms, etc.) as well as new tires. They've called with an estimate prior to starting the job every time, and do their best to keep the cost within a reasonable amount. Besides those excellent qualities, they're also one of the speediest shops I've ever had the pleasure of trusting my vehicle to. Both times they've had my vehicle back to me within a single business day.

Customer Review

I normally do not leave reviews but I had such a great experience with C&D Auto I felt inclined to do this. First let me say that it is a parental nightmare to have something happen to your child's car and be hours away. From beginning to end the staff at C&D were great. Andy was incredibly professional and kept me informed every step of the way. I truly believe they cared about my daughter's safety and the safety of the vehicle. I am truly thankful and will definitely recommend this garage to everyone.

Customer Review

If you ever get stuck in college park , C&D a family run type place that has always taken care of me never overcharged, always kept me updated on every step before they charged, and even walked me into the shop to show me how to check things or explain the problem. They are phenomenal, and can do just about anything you might need. I drive a temperamental Mercedes, and usually I'm upcharged just because they are a pain to work with but C&D always give me a fair rate and have never been anything less then fair and thorough and patient and understanding and kind.

I've been going to C&D since I was a kid. My parents would always bring their cars here and Sam was so nice! Now as an adult I still bring my car for body shop or mechanic problems. C&D always has great prices and I know they are honest. My insurance company and rental car company recommends them too. I don't know much about cars but they don't take advantage of me! Sam Jarian always asks about my family as well. It's a great business and I definitely recommend them.

Awesome service. I called them at 5:05 wondering about an oil change. They close at 6 but he told me to come on anyway. I got there and was in and out in 20 minutes (maybe even less). They didn't try to up sell me like a lot of the chains typically do. If you're gonna spend $30 on an oil change you might as well get the friendly and super quick service free of charge.

Dear Sam. I wanted to thank you and your staff for being so helpful to my son when his Jeep needed service. It's difficult enough for kids to be in college but to be at school so far from home makes it even harder when problems arise. I appreciate all of the help you gave to him when his Jeep needed transmission work. It was a stroke of luck to have found a place that we can trust not to take advantage of a college kid and willing to deal with a worried Mom calling from far away. Thank you!

My husband and I have been taking our cars to C & D for eight years and we really trust the work they do. They provide accurate estimates before starting work, honest assessments of what needs to be done and fair prices. Their work is outstanding and they stand by it.

I wanted very much to be mad at these guys when a series of things went wrong with my car. I mean, what do I know about cars? They could be trying to rip me off. On top of that it takes me 40 minutes to get there since I moved. Just give me a reason to find a closer mechanic.

I have been a customer of C&D Auto Service for over 10 years. The owner Sam Jarian has always taken good care of my vehicles. The prices are reasonable, the work is done in a very timely manner and they provide excellent customer service. They make sure you re educated on every repair being done to your vehicle, which is why I keep coming back!!!! It s hard to find good honest mechanics these days. If you live in there area , I highly recommend you check it out for yourself. I m confident you will not be disappointed with the service.

Customer Review

C & D came through in the clutch again! Last week, the red "BRAKE" light on my car's control panel started coming on, as well as a message about "BRAKE FLUID." My husband would pour brake fluid in, the brakes would work fine, then shortly thereafter, the light and message would appear again. My husband called C & D and let them know what was happening, and it was suggested he take our car in for a diagnostic. Once my husband got there and the car was examined, the technician determined that the left brake line was broken and needed to be replaced.

I did a walk-in oil change, which only cost $35 including the filter, and they got it finished in less than an hour, while also checking for other maintenance issues.

C & D Auto is the best anywhere!! It has been my privilege to assist with automotive repairs for my Military Son. He now resides at College Park and I am a resident of Washington State. My first experience with C & D was in April 2016, when my Son was on Orders, out of state. His fiance was home alone and the Lexus wouldn't start, although the battery had recently been replaced.
