Honesty and Integrity

"I would like to express my deep appreciation and admiration of your honesty, high integrity, and excellent service. Three times your shop has literally come to my family's rescue when other repair shops have tried to swindle us for two to six times what your shop finally charged us. The first time was last spring when our car was making a noise when turned to the left. I was told by another repair shop that the rack and pinion was shot and needed to be replaced at a cost of $900. Thank the Lord I brought it to you for a second opinion and all that was needed and done was to put fluid in. The second time was last fall when we took the car in to have its "lifetime guaranteed" brakes repaired. That shop said it would cost $660, for new rotors (which just had been replaced 3 months prior), new calipers (which they said were "frozen" and had to be destroyed), and labor. I said, "No thanks", and immediately brought the car back to your shop. The needed repairs were done for a total cost of $120! And finally, just last week our car dealership wanted to charge us $1000 plus $150 (for a second diagnostic test) to replace our timer chain. Again, we came back to your shop and the total repairs came to only $540.

Again, let me commend you for your honesty and high integrity. Your shop could have easily took advantage of us, too, but your high moral values obviously carry over into your business. Believe me, my family is by no means wealthy, so every dollar we save is extremely important. And when we get reasonable prices for excellent service--I couldn't ask for more! You should be proud!!

Sincerely,"
Catherine P.

About Us

Dick's Auto, serving the community of Clinton since 1964 Dick's Auto Service was founded in Camp Springs, Maryland in 1951. The company's namesake built the currrent facility out of brick and blocks, finally completing it in 1964. The company has also grown one customer at a time with a strong customer service base and the time-honored motto of "the customer is always right."

In the same location for 46 Dick's Auto has played an active role in the community for many years years, Dick's Auto Service has served the community in many ways. One such example was in 1970 when Dick's Auto assisted the Clinton Volunteer Fire Department for three days while the fire station was being renovated. Dick had the only garage at the time that was large enough to house the three Clinton fire trucks and gladly opened up his doors to accommodate them!

Dick's Auto has gone through changes over the years. The original owner transferred the business to two of his employees, Larry and Dwight, in 1997. After the transition, Dick's Auto has kept up with the changing automotive landscape with lifts, the latest in test and repair equipment, and a positive attitude that no job is too big or too small.

We continue to deliver in these challenging times with constant upgrades and training certifications for new model cars, and remain at the cutting edge of automotive service. Dick's Auto is a small shop, with only three bays and three technicians, but this allows greater attention to details for our customers. Whether it is an oil change, lube and tire rotation, or a major engine/transmission change, all jobs are treated with the same planning, care, and cost-effective results. With free estimates via phone or internet, the customer always has a good idea of the bottom line to minimize surprises and keep customers in the loop.
