Ridgley Auto Care Center

When my mechanic retired I was hearing a lot of good suggestions for Ridgley Auto Care & I have definitely choose that right place my car.

Make sure you get them to communicate BEFORE authorizing repairs. I took a 2022 Toyota Camry to Ridgely for an AC refrigerant leak. They needed to replace a leaking aluminum tube and recharge the refrigerant - quoted $700 which was STEEP but OK. When they called me to advise that the work was DONE and the vehicle was ready, they THEN let me know that they had made a mistake on the cost of the refrigerant and that the total would actually be $925! And so they did the work and raised their price by more than 25% WITHOUT COMMUNICATING with me first. This was their mistake - they need to be sure what materials are required before doing the work. Based on other reviews, I really was expecting better service from this independent garage.

Joe is an honest man. He’ll tell you what you need and has never tried to oversell me. His team does a good job. That’s what keeps me coming back here.
