Royal Auto Repair

Jan 31, 2025

I don't normally leave reviews, but this company deserves it. I have been bringing my 2015 RAV-4 to Calvin, Brian and Co. since I purchased it new. I change my oil and rotate the tires, but rely on them for everything else especially guidance about what routine maintenance needs to be done. I drop the vehicle off at regular intervals, hand over my maintenance log, and just ask them to look it over and tell me anything that needs to be done. I fully trust them. They have always been so honest and reasonable. They are always polite, kind and informative. Today, I took my car in for a 200K checkup fully assuming something would need servicing. They called me to say it all looked great, there was nothing at all that needed to be done, the transmission fluid had another 20-30K left on it and they were only charging $35 for them to look it over. They could have taken me for quite a ride since I gave them carte blanche to do whatever needed to be done. But they didn't. This kind of integrity is hard to find. This is why I keep coming back. When I first purchased the vehicle, I asked them what I could do to make sure it kept running as long as possible, and Calvin said to make sure I changed the oil every 5000 miles despite the manufacturer saying it could be every 10,000. I have done as suggested, and I have had a very healthy vehicle that has made it to 200K without any major repairs. I am sure I am jinxing myself now, but I know where to go when I need work done on my vehicle. My father also uses this shop for all 4 of his cars. They are top notch and very honest - a true rarity in today's world.

My husband and I have brought our cars to Royal for about 15 years and have never had a bad experience. The customer service has always been exceptional. Most importantly, Calvin and staff have earned my trust by never trying to upsell me on services, clearly explaining what issues were, and communicating what and when was needed. One time, they even suggested that we take our vehicle to the dealership because their opinion was it was recall-worthy repair and they wanted to make sure we didn’t have to deal with a hassle. (They were right). Highly recommend.

Excellent service shop. Honest, clean and timely. I brought my car in for an out of state inspection. 45 mins later the deficiencies were shown to me (hole in taillight and brake pedal pad). Royal offered to have needed replacement parts available and installed a day later and the re-inspection. Would be free. While waiting I saw team members speaking with customers, making recommendations and describing issues in a friendly and respectful manner. I have recommended my daughter use royal auto repair for her maintenance and service issues going forward.

I have been coming to Royal Auto for almost 20 years. They treat you like family there, always honest and will turn work away if they feel you don't need something done. You can feel 100% sure they will do what is right and be fair with pricing. This place is a hidden gem in Dundalk!

I used this business based on a recommendation from a coworker. The staff was so professional and helpful! They were quick to answer and very kind on the phone. The drop off/pickup processes were easy. They were able to diagnose and replace my battery a day earlier than anticipated, and called me each step of the way in a prompt manner. I would definitely use this business again and recommend to others.

Excellent service at a reasonable price! The couple of times we have used Royal Auto Repair for maintenance, the staff has been highly professional, honest, quick to get us in for an appointment, and provided in-and-out service. Really, everything you can ask for from an independent mechanic. We plan to continue to bring our new car here for regular maintenance and for any needed repairs.
