The service was good and I had a coupon for the oil change, however it would have been nice to know they were going to charge $10 for shop supplies solvents, small quantities of fluids, shop rags, service of the parts cleaning machine and disposal/ recycling of chemicals up front.

I have an old finicky car that I will only take to Tenleytown Automotive. I love the professional, common sense approach, good advice, the lack of hard sell on unnecessary repairs, the reasonable price and friendly service.

Al & the team found a time quickly to do an oil change & inspect my car due to a work-required safety report. My Honda CRV is 6 yrs old and I've had ZERO problems. Al & his team keep it running and problem-free. Love the peace of mind they provide!
