Reviewers Comments:

Jeff is a great guy, competent, reliable, painfully honest. He has managed to find problems with my Benz that the Uber-Mechanics at the Benz dealership were to stupid, make that too busy, make that too uninterested in to find and fix. Prices are great for the area, the work is always done on time, and he lets me know when he should check something. He also offers detailing and cleaning services, and is co-located with a body shop (no info on the body shop. Yet.) Plus, he has an attack cat and listens to the Dead while working, so the good vibes enter the engine through his hands.

Jeff has been terrific. He is very knowledgeable, timely, and trustworthy. My interactions with him have never left me feeling like I've been ripped off. When I've compared his prices to other local shops I've always found his prices to be the same or better. He may not be the absolute cheapest but he is fair, friendly, and honest.

Jeff ismeticulous. You can tell when you see his shop, which is as clean as a surgical room. He was recommended to me by another autoshop, and I've been going to him for everything since. Service is excellent--if he has time, he will sometimes wash the car for me. For free. The car is always cleaner when I pick it up. (I fear it's because he's horrified at the mess). He never nickles and dimes you. He's pretty cool.

Jeff Millman is a wonderful mechanic! I have used him for the last ten years and he has truly made me feel like part of the family. I moved to New York five years ago, but I only trust Jeff with my car. When I visit family or friends, I make sure Jeff can fit in my car for any maintenance.

Jeff is just super. Really. After recently moving to Baltimore I was VERY unsure as to where to take my car in for some brake repairs. However, I was completely at ease after meeting Jeff and visiting his shop. It's incredible--lovely cup of coffee, clean and welcoming atmosphere, friendly and engaging servce, and my car was fixed THAT DAY, within a couple of hours. Jeff gave me the complete lowdown of what needed to be done, was very clear, and he not only did an amazing job, but he also let me test some new wiper blades and took a scratch out of my windshield, just really a pleasure to work with and worth every penny -- I highly, highly recommend!

This shop is amazing! He's got vintage Triumphs and Nortons galore. It's very well equiped and clean. He's honest and wants us to spread the word as he has no advertising.

Jeff is outstanding. Having a trusted mechanic is as important as having a trusted family doctor and Jeff never disappoints. Honest, fair, and competent are only a few of the words I would use to describe Jeff. Being an independent garage, Jeff's only interest is you and your car - not some quota put on him by a service manager. You will drive in with complete confidence that your car will be serviced by a real pro and drive out with peace of mind and security that your car is safe and more roadworthy than when you brought it in. This guy is a real gem.

Jeff is awesome - very honest! He's my first call when ANYthing goes wrong! He'll tell you if he can't fix the problem and have you call him with the quotes from the dreaded dealer!! Annie, Millie and Shadow are total complements to this amazingly clean shop! He IS our "car talk guy"! He's also great about teaching our boys (while having them do the work) about changing the oil, etc., on the car! What a mensch!!

It's clear that Jeff never stumbled into mechanics; this is his love and his pride, which I appreciate immensely. His shop is always in tip-top shape when I come in, and he is always ready to explain exactly what is wrong with my car and how he plans on fixing it. Don't be fooled by other mechanics who have gotten the label: Jeff is a professional, which technical expertise and integrity. I know people who have worked for him and can only speak highly of him.

I have had multiple encounters with Jeff which have all been exceptional experiences. He is very honest, timely, and does high-quality guaranteed work. I valued his work so much that since I have moved away I have still called him for advice, which he graciously provides. As mentioned above, his shop is meticulous. Bottom line is that Jeff is a very talented mechanic who always has the customer's interest in mind.
