Curry’s Auto Service

Update– I added one star because I appreciate that Brittany V. from coporate contacted me, apologized for my bad experience with Curry’s auto service, and refunded my money. I still cant recommend having your car worked on by Curry’s (I know i would never go back) but its good to know corporate cares.

One word, three letters… WOW. This place had me swept off my feet. I know that seems like a lot to say for a simple oil change and tire rotation but I have never been so pleased. The employees are more than personable they get the job done quickly, efficiently and at a cost that cannot be beat. I am new to the area and finding a place to take care of my car has been an uphill battle. BUT LOOK NO MORE! Curry’s will be my go-​to spot for as long as I live here. THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!

This place is great! They have helped me out when I was in a bind twice! Once when I had a flat tire and the other when my battery was dying. On both occasions it was last minute and they were able to accommodate me. The battery was replaced 15 minutes before the shop actually closed! They are very helpful and courteous and I honestly appreciate that!
THANK YOU!

Went in with my girlfriend when her car had a blown tire, and Chris was really helpful in getting us set to go again. We were back on the road about two hours after walking in without an appointment, on a Saturday morning. She went back later for a couple other issues and an oil change, and he found a bunch of issues that explained some problems her car had, and explained them and suggested how to split up the repairs to go easier on her budget and free time. Everything was affordable, and we were charged fairly for labor. Friendly, affordable, convenient, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended for anyone in the area!

Bait and switch, dishonest business, not recommended. I took my Prius there for repair today. While I was waiting in line, another customer showed up with one of Curry’s «online tire special» and would like to have his tire changed based on the special pricing, the service rep looked at the customer’s cellphone and told the customer that the ad was not accurate and the actual price is $ 100 more than what’s on the website. Furthermore, the rep told the customer that the business has no control of what’s on the website…(really…that’s your website) Then he just brush off the guy and went on to their business without offering any solutions or addressing the issue… after seeing this… I felt that I shall take my business somewhere else. Last but not least, there’s really no point of taking my car here at the first place, the Toyota dealership a few blocks down charges only $ 121 for diagnostic while Curry bills me $ 131…with the same price, I would pick dealership instead of an independent shop.

This place is a rip off I brought my integra here to change the exhaust and they told me it would be 300 $ to do so. So I approved the work and after they got the old one off they told me they couldn’t get the new one on ??? They ended up charging me for labor for taking off my exhaust off and putting it right back on!!!
Some ppl might’ve had a good expirence here but I will never come back here…

Been here a few times after moving to MD and previously being a very satisfied customer at the Falls Church location.
I purchased a new car and brought it in for an oil change at 1200 miles to flush out the break-​in oil. When I made the appointment a week ago, I gave them the details of the new car and asked the gentleman to order in the oil filter, or I could order it myself if they asked me to. I go in today and they said they had no information on my car, no oil filter, and no synthetic 5W-​40 oil. Then they proceeded to tell me that I didn’t need to change the oil until the manufacturer’s recommendation and that I could void my warranty.
Obviously, this location is not on top of their game at all. Waste of time.

I think I may have found my new auto service. We had a flat tire in an emergency and they took us right away and also did an oil change. They charged us a good price, did all they could to save the tire, and were very friendly.

Had tires delivered there (via
) and installed for real cheap, $ 31 for two tires and an alignment check. Good customer service and no issues. Highly recommend them.

The engine light on my wife’s car came on just in time for the emissions inspection and I decided to give this place a try. I went in at 9 and was told it’ll take 1.5 hrs to do a diagnosis and an oil change. I said fine and walked over to lakeforest mall. An hour later, they called to tell me what the problem was, a stuck VSV, which I suspected was the problem anyway. I told them to go ahead with the repair. Forty five minutes later, I get the call that my car is ready for pickup. All in all, it was a smooth experience unrivaled by any other mechanic shop.
I am not one to care about the frivolous niceties like being offered coffee, candy, etc etc while I wait. However, I do care about being dealt with honestly. Their prices were fair and they didn’t try to sell me services I didn’t need. Needless to say, I’ll be visiting them again.

First time getting my car serviced at this location. Isaac and Edgar were very thorough and courteous! Curry’s has definitely gained a loyal customer! Thank you!

Reliable and honest — this is my preferred spot for car repairs (EVAP Canister) and maintenance (tires, oil change, etc.).

This is probably the best auto service in the county to get tour work completed. The staff is great and the mechanics are very knowledgeable. Top place to go for auto service no doubt in my mind

A very friendly staff with great customer services and prices to boot go there for all your automobile problems and talk with Ike

Curry Automotive in Gburg is awesome. We got towed there and they had us back on the road in 45 mins.

I have had my car worked on several times over the years at Curry’s Gaithersburg. I always call a friend of mine who has been in the auto business for 40 yrs whenever a service is suggested. They have always been honest in there recommendations and the prices are average. The place is clean, and the staff is pleasant and customer service minded. Once a few years ago they told me a tire could not be patched, so I bought an new one. But went in this week and this tire could be patched. I am happy with their service.

Curry’s Auto Service in Gaithersburg exceeded my expectations. I made an appointment and arrived early. They were able to accommodate me being early and both the mechanic and service adviser were very professional. The cost was reasonable and the car was finished on time. I’m a very satisfied customer and will return when needed.

Buyer beware. Curry’s in Northern VA was a mom-​and-​pop that provided pretty good service to cars like BMW and Porsche for many years. 1 – 2 years ago, they started to expand and opened about a dozen shops in the area. Then they were bought out by a company that still uses the Curry’s name but does not provide the same level of quality. Many of the good people who worked for the old Curry’s have gone elsewhere, such as at G&C Tires in Chantilly. I used the Curry’s in Gaithersburg recently, they are okay for tires, but I wouldn’t go further than that. For example, while waiting for my car, I saw that they use cheaper, non-​oem parts. Also got a wheel alignment, the rear wheels were off a lot and they offered no explanation such as maybe there were bent suspension components that should be repaired or replaced.

Mike Dorsey is the best in the business. His customer service is second to none. Everyone I had dealing with at this relatively new location was fantastic. I have been a Currys customer for years .
I have to say every service adviser I have worked with has taken the time to explain everything they recommend and making sure the customer is comfortable with the price and the process before the work is done.
Currys as a company will also work with you at any of their locations to figure out a way to impact you the least as a customer. They have snacks and drinks in all of the waiting area’s I’ve been in, as well as wireless internet so you can work or surf while waiting. I’ve met Matt on several occasions and he has always shown a genuine interest in what’s going on in his business and making sure customers were taken care of. Judy was very nice and went above and beyond to take care of me while I was at a HPDE event.
This is a fantastic company, I’m happy I found them years ago and I’m happy they act like a business should and go out of their way to treat their customers with respect.

If you are going to get your car worked on any ware you need to read this…
I had a Groupon for an oil change, I was impressed and disappointed. I had an appointment at 2:00 and I was a little early. They brought the car in to the shop around 2:00. While I was waiting for the service on the car I watched and listened. I am the wife of a motor head, my hubby has been a parts guy in car dealerships for the last 40 years, I hear the stories and I know what’s going on.
I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff and the cleanliness in the shop. The staff offered me snacks, coffee or a soda. They also have a shuttle service. The gentleman at the service counter was fun, funny and the way service people should be.
My car was there for almost an hour, little long for an oil change but they were carefully looking over the car for anything they could find wrong. That’s fine with me. but an hour for an oil change? They did find several minor issues and they brought me to the car and went over them with me. They were through and ligament with the problems. Then they gave me the estement… They are nuts… they wanted to charge me $ 121.00 an hour for labor. I only pay $ 114.00 at the dealership and I have negotiated that down in the past. I normally pay $ 80.00 at the dealership. You can do this if you word it correctly.
This is why, 75% of the work that dealerships do is warrantee repairs. The manufactures are not going to pay more than the regular shop rate of the dealership. So if the dealership charges you $ 121 an hour that is what they are going to get to preform warrantee work. If they charge $ 75.00 an hour in the shop that is all they are going to get from the car manufacturer.
Curry’s does warranty work and that is why they charge $ 121 an hour. If you can wait for the repairs, shop around. Check Consumers Checkbook or Angie’s list. You can do better for the hourly rate. That is the majority of the expense. If you need you car worked on now, you can trust them, and they are honest.
