CHarges and fees
Labor Rate
Our standard labor rate is $100 per hour. We use industry-standard labor guides to estimate flat-rate labor repairs.
Diagnostic Fee
Estimates are free; however, diagnostic services are $100. If you choose to have the repair work done with us, the diagnostic fee will be waived—except for computer diagnostics, which remain non-waivable at $100.
Credit Card Processing Fee
A 3% processing fee will be applied to all credit card transactions.
State-Mandated Taxes
Maryland State Law requires a 6% sales tax on all parts purchased for repair. Labor is exempt from sales tax.
Vehicle Storage & Lien Policy (Maryland)
Storage Fees: Vehicles must be picked up within 48 hours after work is completed. After that, a storage charge of $50 per day will apply.
Unclaimed Vehicles: If a vehicle is not picked up within 30 days of storage, it may be treated as abandoned under Maryland law and subject to a mechanic’s lien.
Mechanic’s Lien: Under Maryland law, repair facilities have the right to hold and, if necessary, sell a vehicle to recover unpaid charges for repairs, parts, and storage..
Redemption: The vehicle owner may reclaim the vehicle at any time before the lien sale by paying all outstanding repair and storage charges.
