Hondamans Auto Service

I've used them for both a Prelude (now gone) and an Accord (currently); and have been, no-kidding, delighted with the accuracy, speed, reliability, and cost of their work.

Hondamans deals primarliy with Hondas and Acuras. The shop began about 15 years ago with the owner traveling in a van to people's houses to work on cars as needed. For about the past 13 years now, they have had this 3 Bay shop operating and have branched out to a Body Shop as well. I have always had my cars fixed there (1988 Accord with 220,000 miles, 1990 Prelude 210,000, and 1990 accord 198,000) I have had clutches, CV joints, Brakes, Distributors, Radiators, Master Cylinders, Broken Windows, Broken ignitions, etc...) worked on there with Great Results. Hondaman also offers used parts when available with no guarantee to lifetime, such as motors for Windows, locks, etc. Hondaman uses only certified Honda Parts also in all repairs and work done. One of the Employees lives near me in the city , and has on occasion come after work hours to check my vehicle when it has struggled at no cost. Just the way they operate...Great Attitude which goes a long way when you are frustrated with car problems! I would recomend them to anyone A++!

When I bought my first Honda Accord, EVERYONE told me about Hondaman's. First, they do an excellent job with scheduling. When I arrive at my appt time, they take my car immediately, no waiting. For basic oil/filter changes, I'm out in 15 minutes every time. And the cost is reasonable. They've also shaved the bill a few times. For example, I rotate my tires every other oil change. During one of the larger routine maintenance checkups, I forgot to ask them to rotate them. I return 20 minutes later- they took me immediately and then told me "no charge, have a nice day." It's a small operation - they don't have a computer and handwrite all of the receipts. They run down each item on the receipt before the service is performed and after the service is completed. Within a few visits, the guy at the desk remembered me and calls me by name every time I show up. They are very respectful and don't treat women like dummies. Finally, they don't change the seat when they work on the car, so when I get into it after a service, the seat is in the exact location it was when I handed it over!

These guys are professional through and through. They really look out for their customers and never recommend unnecessary services or pad their invoices. Service is fast and thorough. Women can feel completely comfortable that they will be treated with fairness and respect here.

I have read many great things about Hondaman, and we finally reached the point with our Odyssey that it was costing us too much to take it to the dealer anymore. After an expensive catalytic converter repair by the dealer, a loud noise was coming from the front of the car which they diagnosed as a bad left wheel bearing and hub. Their estimate was about $380. My wife said enough, no more dealer. I told her I'd read about Hondaman, and she gave him a call. He diagnosed her problem over the phone, made an appointment, and she brought it out the next day. He kept the appointment time and got her back on the road in less time than he had initially said, and he did the job for $275, saving us over $100. Hondaman isn't the most convenient in that he's in Glen Burnie and only open 8-5 Monday through Friday, but he did tell my wife that if you can't work it out to leave the car there he can arrange for loaners. We agree with everyone else who's commented on Hondaman, that it's worth taking the car to him even if it's a little more inconvenient. We've been Honda owners for over 20 years, and I wish we'd been motivated to bring him our cars even sooner!

I am in the military and have been stationed in Maryland for a total of eight years. I have used Hondaman's on three different Honda cars that we have owned for probably 20 visits for regular maintenance and repairs. All of our cars run/ran great. (We parted with our 1991 Honda Civic only when we had to go down to one car and it was difficult. The car had 173K miles on it.) Hondamans is timely and gets the job done right the first time. They complete work quickly and efficiently. An oil change and tire rotation is a quick 15-20 minute affair. For more complex repairs they explain what the scope of work is, provide estimates for each part of it, and recommend what needs to be done now and what can wait. This is a shop that does not come up with things that need to be fixed on your car just to generate cashflow for their pockets. Patrick who answers the phone and runs the desk is awesome. My wife and other women are treated well and given appropriate maintenance and repair estimates. You can trust your car with Hondamans.
