I used them for 4 tires, an oil change, lube job, and air filter inspection. I've been going to Marv and Mikes for over 30 years. They are honest. Their work is great, and prices are fair.
-Mary Cullen Silver Spring, MD
Marv&Mikes transmission and auto repair checked and cleaned the brakes, drums etc. For the past 33 years, we have dropped off the car at marv and mikes on Monday night due to some odd brake noise. They called Tuesday afternoon and said we had some rust build up and when they cleaned the car, it was ready for pick up.
-Jack Gibala Rockville, MD
I have been going to Marv&Mikes for years. My cars are old and they have been doing a great job keeping them in shape. They advise me of their diagnosis & cost, they tell me when car will be ready & call me at that time. They are very professional & I have no hesitation in recommending them. They are great!
-Juanita Campitelli Bethesda, MD
90,000 Mile service, including replacing timing belt, the most expensive item. Went well, took a little longer then anticipated because I had a vibration that kicked in at 70 mph, and that can only be done at certain times in certain places.
-Paul Goldstein Potomac, MD
Crankshaft position sensor replaced right front drivers window/motor/regulator assembly replaced. Everything was great from first phone call to follow up with what the problems were, to estimate to job completion.
-Keith Patrick Rockville, MD
Replace front and rear brakes(pads and shoes) and rotors refinish. Replace brake fluid. Rick and his staff are knowledgable and efficient. They assess the problem, offer solutions, provide estimate,give advice on car. They are trust worthy and get the job right the first time. Rachel is not a receptionist- she has complete car knowledge too, better than a car dealer.
-Ted Seale Bethesda, MD
Auto Repair- replace axle shafts (2) 1 ball joint and align front wheels of minivan. Repair was done properly and quickly, cost of repair usually hundreds less then dealer. I have used this shop many times with excellent results and reasonable cost.
-Daniel Moffett Kensington, MD
Replaced rear brakes on 2003 Honda Accord, checked front brakes, and replaced wiper blades - excellent. After a month, brakes developed a squeek. Marv&Mikes removed the pads, sanded the rotors, applied antisqueel agent-at no charge. After another month, the squeel returned. Marv&Mikes cleaned and lubricated brake caliper and replaced brake pads-at no charge. Handled very professionally. I have been using Marv&Mikes for over 30 years, they are excellent. At Times, they have saved me money by advising me not to make unnecessary repairs advocated by local gasoline stations.
-Rosalind Stern North Bethesda, MD
Oil Change, power steering fluid service, brake inspection. Quick, efficient, called of estimate.
-Janet Akman Rockville, MD
I brought in a "97" Dodge caravan to have the timing belt replaced, Mileage at 115,000. During the process of tightening, one of the mechanics cracked the radiator top, and I ended up stranded over near Red Lobster. Got towed back to M&M's. Although they never exactly said that they cracked the radiator, we all knew that's what happened. They replaced the radiator and I got a $419.18 discount on parts and labor. They are my heroes.
-Bruce Cornwell Rockville

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel that letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision- crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
