I’ve been to this shop a few times now for multiple vehicles and I’ve always had an excellent experience. Mr. Jimmy is a constant professional and will work with you if your schedule does not permit visiting during office hours. I left Laurel years ago but still bring my car here because the trusted service. The pricing is also very reasonable.
We trust our cars to Jimmy and his mechanics. He gives an honest assessment of what is going on with your car- and you pay a fair price for repairs. Good covid safety. Great communication.
Wow. The service at this place is A1. Jimmy was honest with me. As a woman we don’t always know what’s happening with our cars. After he fixed my vehicle he explained what he fixed and even showed me the old parts. I will always come back here!
I was introduced to these guys by a colleague of mine. Honest, up front, fair... FUNNY dude. A true gem that’s a little hard to find but e worth it.
If I can give this place 10 stars, I would. Jimmy, the owner is absolutely amazing. He really has his clients best interest at heart. This is the only place I will bring my car to that I know will get great service and not come out with another problem. Im so grateful for Jimmy and his hardworking staff
Gunpowder garage is the greatest place. Owner is so honest and I have taken my vehicles to them for over 25 yrs. Recommend highly.
Excellent Service! I will be returning for future work.
Jimmy and his crew are clean,honest and do an outsranding job.Never had to be concernedYou make the decision on what gets doneAsk ALL the questions who wantThey are met with all the information andexplantion you would hope for.........Awesome....always satisfied with their work!
I have used Gunpowder Garage for several things that needed to be done to my car. In all cases, I was extremely satisfied with the way in which the work was handled. They are professions who do excellent work for a fair price.
Always excellent service. Weve been loyal customers for years. My family is deeply saddened to see this business close its doors.
I LOVE Gunpowder Garage. I have always found them to be honest, reliable, and courteous. When my car needed servicing I had no idea where to take it. As a listener of Car Talk on NPR, I went to their website for recommended garages in Laurel. I am so glad that i chose Gunpowder. I have sent friends and family to Gunpowder and they too have had the same experience.
We began going to Gunpowder Garage over a decade ago after seeing a favorable review in Washington Checkbook. Its hard to find an honest mechanic these days but Gunpowder Garage is honest in every way. He does not try to rip you off and treats you with the utmost respect. Honest, trustworthy, reliable - you can not ask for more. I highly recommend.
Its a bit hard to find. But the prices are great and the work is first rate. I plan on making this my go to place for auto repair and service
This garage is the real deal, courteous staff, honest, and reasonably priced. Jimmy is your guy, I trust him with all my cars. He recently fixed the AC on my 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL the right way the first time, which the dealer could not fix.
Very kind and courteous staff. They always make sure you understand your bill before paying and answer all questions in laymans terms if needed. All my repairs have been completed in a timely manner, with competitive rates. I highly recommended Gunpowder Garage.
Have been taking our out of warranty vehicles to Gunpowder for a couple of years; always a pleasant, open and honest interaction. Never any pressure of fixing things that dont need to be fixed, and taking care of what needs should be. Love having a local garage to get our vehicles to.
I was having problems with a 12 year old car and after a nightmare experience at another garage (that Ill not even mention) I took it in to Gunpowder. They had the car fixed up in no time and at a fraction of what I was expecting it to cost. They were very thorough in explaining the problem and I knew what was happening at all times. When you find a trustworthy mechanic - stick with them forever. Gunpowder will certainly get all my business!
I have taken every car Ive ever had to this place. Ive always been treated fairly and honestly. Even when I had a junked-up mustang that couldve been taken advantage of, the employees were kind and honest and only did work I asked them for, and then advised on work that would need to be done in the future.I currently dont live very close to this place anymore, but still make the drive over because finding a mechanic who you trust and who wont try to oversell you on things you dont need is hard.
A couple of month ago, the flex pipe of my Honda Accord 2001 needed a repair. I called Gunpowder Garage about the price of replacing the whole front pipe. They told me to bring in my car and they needed to take a look at the car before giving me a price. Then I went their garage the next morning. They took a look at the car and told me I had to replace the whole exhaust system, which costs around $1,400. They told me there was no way to repair any part of it since it was quite rusted.They also charged me $50 inspection fee. They said if I repair my care there they would make the $50 into the final repair price.I felt that they should not charge me $50, since just I went there to get a quote about replacing the front pipe. But I still paid. I thought they provided me some new information I did not know: there is no way to replace the front pipe and I need to replace the whole exhaust system.However, today I replaced my front pipe successfully. So, I realized that they are either greedy or just lack of proper knowledge.Lessons from my experience:1. Before you go there, make sure if you need to pay this kind of inspection fee. I know many other places have free quotes.2. Do not always believe their words about your car.
They do good work at a fair price and arent trying to, run up the bill on customers.
Been going to Gunpowder Garage for 20+ years and have always had great experiences. Prices are competitive and I always trust Jimmy to make the repairs necessary. Hell look over a potential used car or truck purchase and give an expert opinion. Courteous, skilled, experienced with competitive prices - the perfect auto/truck repair place.
A trusted and reliable mechanic and business!!! I have being going to Jimmy for nearly a decade now and have recommended him to both friends and family alike with only high praise from ALL!Gunpowder Garage has saved me literally thousands of dollars in repair costs vs having the work done through a high priced dealership shop!!!
I have lived in the area for about a year and have been searching for a reliable and honest mechanic. Needless to say, I was not impressed with what this area had to provide. I was driving home and happen to see the sign for the garage and decided to give them a call...and I havent looked back since!! The guys here are great! When I dropped off my car, they took their time to tell me what was making my car idle low and stall. Other shops just wasted my money by suggesting replacement of parts that werent needed. Prices are reasonable and they stand behind their work. Gunpowder Garage has gained a new customer!! Thanks guys!!
This is my go to shop for ALL repairs and maintenance. They are honest, reasonable and do a superb job with the keeping my baby running.
Honest, excellent work by the best shop in Laurel. Ive trusted all my cars and trucks to Jimmy for over 20 years. Highest recommendation.
Great service and price
Dishonest mechanic! Long story short they tried to get me to fix things that did not need fixing. I am a bit car savvy and some of the basic items like brakes and tires they said will past inspection but I should still replace.!/? huh? Either I need them to pass inspection or not. Never will go there again and will not recommend. 2 thumbs down!
Ive been taking my cars here, and only here for a long time. Theres not another garage I trust more than Gunpowder. Great faces and great pricing.
Great honest, inexpensive mechanics.Finding a honest shop is hard these days. This is one.
So honest, kind, and quick. We always go here.
Ive been taking my vehicles to Gunpowder Garage for 20+ years. You will not find a better or more honest mechanic.
Pros. Cheap, quick, efficient pros. Convenient location, lots of parking opportunities, 100%.
Great service here Mr. Jim is the best
Great service!
The future of all my Auto Repair needs. Incredibly honest and helpful team.
Fast, honest and friendly.
