Report
I could not be more pleased and impressed by Scott and RPM Automotive! Terrific service, courtesy, and price. Let me tell you my experience: I took my 2011 Malibu to the Chevy dealership in Glen Burnie when it hit 100,000k miles for that maintenance milestone. While working on it, they let me know that my exhaust manifold was cracked (my car was rumbling like a dang boat), and wanted to charge an arm and a leg to fix it.
I balked and started looking for alternative mechanics. Called Scott, who said he'd do it for 1/3 of the dealership quote, just had to order the parts he needed. 3 days later I dropped off my car overnight for the service, only for Scott to call first-thing in the morning to say that, unfortunately, the parts hadn't been delivered on time. No big deal, we can reschedule, and did so. A few days later, the work (which included some unforeseen issues with the mounting brackets) was done perfectly, AND for less than originally expected. He put in extra hours, costing him time and money, to get the work done on the same day. Scott's got a customer for life - and the car sounds better than it has in years.

Had bad experiences with my car dealership. So I tried RPM Automotive Inc and I love them. They even checked the problem for my husband's car. They explain very well and complete the job.

I was very pleased with the service. Scott told me exactly what the problem was and how much it would cost. Prior to coming to RPM, I've had work done on my car at a couple other mechanic shops and I've been overcharged and the quality of the work was poor. Scott explains what needs to be done and if possible, he gives me options. Thanks Scott

Just found this place! I dropped my car off for a routine check over. Scott could not have been more helpful and trustworthy. Fast and efficient service. This will definitely be my mechanic from now on

My car wouldn't start and I felt stranded one morning. I tried to jump it with my jump box and it just wasn't happening. I called my insurance to tow it to a repair shop. I should have called first because they were too busy to even see it. I had to call the tow company again but this time to Rpm Automotive. The receptionist was very kind and welcoming and so was the mechanic. They told me my Battery was corroded and it wasn't tight.
I changed it myself a week ago. I could have sworn it was the alternator but it wasn't. They cleaned the battery and even tightened up my weather strip on my door which was loose. Every time it rained it poured but not any more thanks to the team at Rpm. I can't thank them enough for taking my car in and being honest. When people do great service and are polite you should let the world know so that's why I decided to write this review. I will be using them from now on and if you're reading this give them a shot, you won't regret it. Stay blessed Rpm team
