I recently brought a vehicle to Thrifty for a Md State Safety Inspection. While the owner was pleasant, I found nothing thrifty about the establishment. I should have known the pricing would not be friendly when Doug insisted on charging me $22 for swapping my front tires to the rear even though I pointed out 2 tires were already removed for the MD State Inspection.

The State Inspection resulted in a quote $1764 quote from Thrifty to complete the work. The most expensive Item was replacing the power steering and 3 associated hoses for $734. I took the car elsewhere to be repaired. The dealer tech informed me the power steering pump was fine and only the hoses were replaced at a savings of over $500. The other work was done for less than Thrifty's quote. 

Thrifty appeared to be charging a flat rate as if each work item was done independently. They did not seem to  provide any discount given there were efficiencies in place as the vehicle would already be on their lift and ready to work on with only a single clean-up charge.

I was disappointed my experience with Thrifty did not measure up to most customers have said.

I highly recommend Thirfty to anyone who needs major, or minor repairs done to their vehicles. I had to bring in both of my vehicles for repair within the same week, and both were completed in a timely fashion at a fair rate. It's hard to find a auto repair company you can trust, and I'm glad to have been referred to Thrifty Auto! Great work! Thanks again!

My air conditioning wasn't blowing this year when i went to turn it on, I took it to my usual mechanic to get a shot of freon and was told I needed a new compressor and that it would be $800 for the freon and compressor. Naturally I took it to get a second opinion. After heavy diagnostics and putting power directly to the compressor we found it was working fine and the other fans weren't working either, none of them getting power. We concluded that it was the control module for the AC system and ordered the new part. The next day I can back and the part was installed. Now after 2 days in there fantastic waiting room (with free coffee and gatorade) the AC is working great and for less then i was originally quoted by the other mechanic. May I also add that I accidentally left over $200 cash in my console and not a cent was missing.
