I had a great experience at Mike Dents Automotive Services!! The staff was friendly and the service was timely and efficient. I plan to use Mike Dents for all my future automotive needs and highly recommend their services to anyone having automotive issues!!

We were on vacation and our brakes went. They took care of us, our car was completed in less than 2 hours of coming in. They also did NOT rip us off just cause we were in a jam

Drove to OC for the week and as soon as I arrived my radiator was hemorrhaging antifreeze all over the pavement. I emailed Mike's on Sunday night, got them to see me Monday morning and they replaced my radiator (which had a hole in it) and had it fixed the same day. Easy. Thanks for the help! Would definitely recommend to anyone in and out of town!

EXCELLENT!! I was on vacation in OC & had a tire leaking air. Mike’s Dents got me right in with no appointment & fixed my tire very reasonably. Thanks so much guys!

Friendly and courteous Service Great mechanics

Like it or not Mike just tells it like it is. Great work fast and priced right so glad I found these guys.

While on vacation, one of our cars completely quit running while driving down Coastal Highway in Ocean City. The car was inoperable and we weren’t really sure what we were going to do. We found Mike Dents with a Google search and chose the shop because of the great reviews. They answered our email first thing in the morning. Told us to check our insurance for towing coverage which we had, so the insurance company arranged for the tow to Mike Dents. We continued with our vacation on the beach while Mike found the problem. We picked up the car the next day. Mike said he found the problem within 5 minutes- a blown fuse that shut the car down There was no charge for the repair, no charge for his time! We wanted to pay him something but he said he wouldn’t take anything. We had goosebumps from the incredible feeling of generosity. We certainly never expected that!!! This is a very rare find and we were so grateful that God led us to this repair shop!

These guys are awesome! Very honest, would recommend to anyone.

Our alternator went out on a Saturday evening leaving us stranded in Ocean City until we could get local and trustworthy help on Monday. I called Mike Dents shop first thing on Monday and they were wonderful. They took care of everything on Monday early and had us on our way by 1:45 pm. I would highly recommend this auto shop. They were friendly and very accommodating. Thank you Mike and Mark!

I arrived in Ocean City after driving from Canada. Two days before I was planning to go back home, my engine was vibrating violently and had low power. I brought the car to Mike Dents before 8:00am the next morning. There was already a lineup of people by that time so I was worried the mechanics wouldn't have enough time to fix it in time for me to go home. To my surprise they were able to diagnose the problem by the early afternoon. A fuel injector wasn't firing. The repair for this isn't trivial, but they were able to fix my car the next day. Thanks to Mike Dents I am able to drive my car back home. Great job.

First time going to this place and the environment was very good. Stopped in to get my brakes checked out and he got right to it. He showed me the details on the parts of my car and got straight to the point. He didn't try to rip me off like some others would have done. Will be returning in the future.

It felt like a family environment, the staff was very nice and helpful. I came from out of town and needed an alternator, I went to two other places that said they didn’t have the time but they got us in and out within about an hour. They even drove me my wife and three kids to our hotel so we didn’t have to stay and wait. I didn’t feel like I was being ripped off, the price was fair.

Visited OC MD and on the way my car started idling horribly and check engine lights came on. We made it to the hotel and this shop was able to get us in next day and had it fixed quickly. My one spark plug was loose and they were honest and didn’t try to upcharge me Saying I needed new spark plugs. Honest and quick. Will use again if in the area and need something!

Best in the area!

A service station that has my trust. I had just arrived in OC on vacation Sunday evening and my check engine light came on along with the D flashing. My mother in law lives in OC and said that Mike Dents does all of her repair work and she has always been very happy with their work. I was able to schedule a service online for 8 AM the next day and got an email back at 930 PM confirming and saying to bring it by. The next morning I saw my engine light was no longer on, but took it by for peace of mind. They checked me in, listened to what had happened and put my car on a scanner which popped with a transmission sensor and then found my transmission fluid was low. They topped me off, wrote down the code for me and told me to bring it back if the light comes on again and their pricing was extraordinarily fair and had me back on the road in 20 minutes. Mike Dents provides exceptional service and I felt like I was bringing my car to a friend who was looking out for me.

I have taken my Car here for years, good mechanics here, reasonably priced, and my Car always runs fine after they work on it.

😐😶

Took my car for an oil change and have the brakes checked. They found a bad wheel bearing and some belts were starting to dry out. Didn't pressure me, but explained what should be done and why. Did the brake job, replaced belts, wheel bearing, rotated tires and did oil change . Got my car back same afternoon and the bill was 100.00 less than the estimate. Would highly recommend.

Seriously couldn't be more happier with their honesty and quick service. Trust me! You CAN trust them!!!!!

Extremely helpful in giving options concerning mechanical needs on an old car.

Took care of me quickly and am very satisfied with work performed as well as the bill.

Best place around. Always looks out for the best interest of the customer and is fair. Hard to find now-a-days.

Go straight here for honest and good mechanical work. Saved me a ton of money for a good fix versus what the dealership was trying to sell. Highly recommend!

I had Mike teach me and fix my problem . Thank you sssooo much. If I ever have problems I will be back for a learning lesson. Awe place!

They just saved our vacation! Got our vehicle in on our first day in town and fixed the issue right away! Mark took the time to explain exactly what was wrong and what needed to happen to resolve it. VERY thankful for their great customer service!!

This is Bill Blasek from Derry NH Mike is probably the best customer service I have ever encountered. My Volvo needed a new starter and Mike and Mark got the starter that could not be found anywhere within hundreds of miles and installed it quickly. This saved my vacation. When I come back to Ocean City I will schedule service. They are the best.

Stopped by with no appointment with a screw in my tire. They fixed it fast and very inexpensive. The service was fast and friendly. Being from out of state it's always a bit scary going to an unknown automotive shop. This was an excellent experience. The guys were great...Thank you

I must say Mike DEnt himself is a very customer focused owner. He really cares about the customer. I brought in my 2014 Corolla that I just purchased from Holly Kia of SElbyville. Holly said that car would pass md state inspection . Well after Mike DEnt found a few items wrong and couldn’t pass I took back to Holly. I waited while they said they were fixing it. They call me tell me it’s ready l. I call Mark the General Manager and of coarse he says no problem being right back and we will reinspect. Well while speaking to Mike DEnt he showed me personally that they didn’t finish or even complete what was required . They only fixed wiper blades and tighten rear view mirrors. As for the brake issue and battery issue he worked at it and you know what he made it work. To me that’s some friggin customer service. Thanks MIke so much & Mark thank you for being you always nice and accomadating when I call you always take care of me. So anyone reading this non-grammar, spelling novel PLEASE USE MIKE DENtS when you need anything done on your vehicle .... Definately great at what they do!!!!!! Sincerely, Red TOyota COrolla from Holly Kia!!!

On our 2nd day of vacation to Ocean City MD we had engine issues in one of our vehicles ! We were able to get the truck towed to a shop "Mike Dents" and have it fixed . The shop knew we were from NJ and could have taken advantage of us knowing we were stranded but they did everything but take advantage of us. "Mike Dents" shop had the truck running in 2 days for an honest price . Thank you Mike Dents for the constant communication and how quickly you were able to get my truck back to me.

Fast, friendly and reasonably priced. I emailed with a problem, they got back to me with in the hour before they even opened. Showed up with no appointment and 30 minutes later I was on my way to work. Repair taken care of. Highly recommend them.

I cant say enough how fast and reasonable this auto repair shop is!!! i was on vacation and the wheel bearing went in my truck the 2nd day i was there. . i called first thing monday morning and explained my situation of being on vacation. They told me bring it right over and fixed it at a reasonable price and in a few hours had my truck back the same day. i am so glad i found this honest shop because i vacation in ocean city every year. THANX GUYS!!

On Thursday evening had a tire blowout. Found this place online. Left an email since it was after hours . Got a return message within 10 minutes. Called about 900am Friday morning and they didnt have tire in stock . Leaving from vacation Saturday morning . They ordered tire and said should be about 230p when delivered Friday. They called at 230p tire was in. Went out and within 30 minutes tire mounted balanced and on car. Spare was put back as well. Great people great service . And great pricing as well . Would recommend to anyone local or vacationers like myself . Thank you .

Best experience I've ever had with a mechanic in this town! I just picked my car up and it drives great. I will definitely be going back to them with any future car trouble.

I am here for the summer from Florida and was having car trouble that I thought might lead to expensive transmission repairs. I took my car to Mike Dents Auto repair and they found out it was not my transmission saving me over a thousand dollars. Mark at the desk explained every step of the process, gave me a fair estimate before having my car fixed promptly. My car was in and out in less than 24 hours. I am very pleased and highly recommend Mike Dents. Mark was a great help in making the process stress free.

On my vacation and the car has problems. No fun but took it to these guys and it was fixed quickly and they did not charge me crazy prices! Thanks!

Heard a strange noise in our Jeep as we arrived in ocean city for a weeks vacation. Being 300 miles from home, I was afraid of a garage gouging me for overpriced and unnecessary repairs. Doing a little online research led me to Mike Dent’s. They squeezed me in their schedule and diagnosed the problem which was caused by an error by home mechanic. They gave it a quick fix to get me home and let my local guy make it right. Couldn’t be happier with their work and very fair pricing. Certainly don’t want car problems the next time I’m on vacation, but I know where I’ll go if I do.

Found a gash on the sidewall of my tire....messaged Mike's after hours and received a prompt response...they were able to quickly replace the damaged tire...excellent customer service and care! Definitely would recommend for any car care needs! Thank you so much!

Super happy with ththe service I received!

Mike’s the place to go if you need your car worked on in Ocean City! Took my daughters car in this morning for a AC system leak, they were quick and efficient. This is an honest family run business and they took great care of us. They have a customer for life.

Very helpful and prompt service. Had AAA tow my truck from Asseteague Island late in the day. Gave me an estimate and went on with the repairs. They were very honest and did not put parts on it didn't need. I am a technician, but couldn't fix it because we were on vacation. My bill came out much less than they quoted me and we got a discount for being AAA members. Would definitely go back if I'm in the area.

Friendly staff and fast service.

Ok

I cannot thank this shop enough for treating my boyfriend and I like human beings as soon as we walked in. I came into Mikes Dent distraught and heartbroken after a bad experience with OC Auto Repair. As soon as we walked into mikes dents two people made sure to let us know we will be helped shortly. When it was time to let them know why we walked I was so bothered and upset from our earlier experienc with OC that I started to cry and couldn’t even get the words out my mouth. I then explain what happened to one of the head mechanics he appeared to be. And he was immediately simpathetic and assured me that we were in good hands with them. The kind crew of Mikes Dents took a look at my old tire and the tire we bought from OC and he immediately gave us options and feedback. One he told us that that tire should not have even been sold to us because of how worn it was. He discussed other options and took the time to explain each one. We decided to go with the quickest because we we’re on our way back home. They did the work and thanked us for our service but the thankful ones were us because we were treated kindly and important. I highly highly recommend Mikes Dents to locals, visitors, everyone!

Hands down the best repair shop! We had just arrived to OC after a three hour trip and my car wouldn’t restart. An angel gave me a jump but my car turned itself off while driving on 50 (only blocks from the shop). Needless to say, this was not the ideal way to start a vacation. Harried and puzzled as to what was wrong with my car, I arrived to Mike's. From the moment I walked through the door, they were attentive, helpful, and reassuring. They quickly investigated my car’s inner workings, promptly diagnosing the problem. They kindly took the time to thoroughly explain what was wrong and my options. After deciding on a course of action they immediately went to work and amazingly called me that same day to inform me that they finished! I was astounded! Their dedicated work ethic (staying late to get the job done, on a Friday nonetheless!) and knowledge was supremely impressive. Being a single woman, I was initially apprehensive about having an unknown mechanic work on my car while on vacation, but from start to finish, they were professional, upfront, and cost-effective. If you ever need to solve a car problem, while in vacation (gasp!) or otherwise, I strongly recommend that you go to Mike’s. I’ll never go anywhere else when in OC.

Thx Mike

I simply can't recommend them enough, if for nothing else their honesty and kindness. My 19 yo daughter was in Assateague with friends 140 miles from home when she had car trouble. She brought her car here and they quickly reattached a hose from the radiator to the expansion tank and sent her on her way. That alone is why you should use Mike Dent's services!

Needed so work done in a hurry, Mike got me in last minute and had my truck finished in a day. The bill was less than expected. Would give 10 stars if allowed.

Definitely recommend Mike Dents. Great work on two of my vehicles.

Best place to take your vehicle. Going to them for years and continue to go even after moving to D.E. Honesty and good work are hard to come by these days .

Evan is one heck of a mechanic....after 2 other mechanics ripped me off and still didn't fix the issue he helped me out.....i will never go anywhere else !!!

Great shop, appreciate the prompt service.

Excellent service. I will be using this place for all my automotive repair needs.

Best mechanic around

On vacation, enjoying the day and then my car was sputtering, stalled out at the red light and difficult to get it running and being away from home and almost in panic mode, my son found Mike Dents, had excellent reviews and so we called, they were able to see our car first thing in the morning, they diagnosed the problem, fixed it and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our vacation. They were so professional and expeditious as we really thought our vacation was at an end. Being out of town, I was concerned about the cost and honesty. After they explained things and the cost all up front, they saved our vacation. I wish they were back here in Pittsburgh, PA. Expeditious, honest and cost effective, not to mention they like dogs, as we had our 2 with us on vacation.....I recommend them before looking elsewhere when in the area.

Car wouldn't start, then started. Got it to Mikes, they gave it a check. Told me car and key not calibrating. 10 min reset. Other key to work fine. N/C. Seems like an HONEST reliable car place. I will return if I ever have a car repair need in OC. Good knowledgeable guys. Thats Steve's red Miata. Thank you Mike. 🚘😎

Very friendly staff. Helped out with the check engine light that went on during our vacation in MD. Would recommend highly.

Reliable auto mechanic.

Car wouldn't start over in the outlets..i got a tow from MAG towing 5 star for them too...took me over to mikes they diagnosed fixed and had me back on the road in 1.5 hours...me and my wife sat down at Hooters ate came back paid and pulled off...GREAT SERVICES AND COOL DUDES

I appreciate all of the staff at Mike Dents. I had an unexpected brake line failure on a family vacation. I was given a detailed explanation of what went wrong and how Mike Dents was going to fix it. In addition, I was given a an approximate cost for the job. The work was completed on time and under budget. It was a pleasure doing business with these folks.

I was on vacation at Ocean City and long story short my truck shifted into, and got stuck in 4WD. I dropped it off at 2:00 and they had it ready same day. Bill was only $86. I couldn't be a more satisfied customer!

Best auto repair in Ocean City!

When we were on our way to Ocean City from Hershey Pennsylvania, our back brakes went out. We were referred to Mike Dents automotive repair shop by a relative who has benefited from his kindness and expertise in the past. He got us in the same day we called, ascertained the problem, gave us a quote, and fixed it and just all within a couple hours. His rates were extremely fair and reasonable, and he was very courteous, knowledgeable, and expedient. Would recommend him to all!

My daughter went to have a noise checked out before heading home to Harford County. They looked at her car and fixed it in less than 15 minutes, no charge! They were wonderful and caring! Thank you

Wonderful. I needed a new alternator STAT. Called at 8 am they fit me in ordered part and was done by 1pm. Reasonably priced too.

I had an 8 o'clock for my oil change and tire rotation and it was started right on time while I waited. Everyone was polite and friendly as always. I'm always happy with the fair cost of services.

Happy with the work and customer service!

Fast and trust worthy service! We were on vaca from NY when my brake pads and roters needed to be replaced. Mike took care of us quickly (less than 2 hrs) and for a fair price.

This place deserves 10 stars! We came to OC this past Monday, 5 hours from home, pulling a camper, and had transmission problems...Didnt know who to go to that was honest. I googled auto repairs, and found a lot, but these guys had lots of 5 star ratings, so I called, and they took me the next morning at 7:45am, and had me back in my truck by the end of the day!! Thanks for getting me right in and out, so we could enjoy the rest of our vacation!

While on vacation at Ocean City, our vehicle experienced power steering issues. I took our vehicle to Mike Dent's. They were very friendly and professional. They called me with an estimate which I thought was acceptable and spot-on. After they fixed our power steering issue, they called to say that the power steering was fixed.....And the belt was fine - no cracks, etc. - no need to replace it! They could of just replaced it and charged us but because there are still honest people in the world we saved $$$. I would highly recommend their business to anyone!!

My family and I drove into Ocean City from Pennsylvania when I noticed a bad rumbling sound from the front of my truck. I decided in the interest of safety to schedule service. I found Mike's online and I'm glad I did. They got me in the next day and found that both front wheel bearings and a tie rod needed replaced. They took the time to show me the issues and explain the work that needed done. They also patiently dealt with my warranty company which was no easy matter. It was reassuring to know that as a tourist I wasn't getting ripped off. As I sat waiting for my truck to be finished I watched these guys take care of multiple customers and everybody walked out the door satisfied including myself. They do the work right the first time.

100 percent take it here ,its an honest shop and as I'm in the repair business I know so leave it to him sears tech daughters car muffler fell off, no ac, pulls to right GOOD JOB many thanks John d. Clarksburg Maryland

Can't say enough good things about Mike at Mike Dents Auto. I found him on google looking for someone place in OC that did not have bad reviews. I called him as my son was down for senior week and the car was having problems. He was very helpful and had the car repaired (ignition coil) in under two hours. Would definitely recommend.

Vacationing in oc and one of my brake calipers locked up on the truck. Took it to mike and being out of town I thought for sure I would get robbed from whoever fixed it but I got there as they opened and waited on it and about 2 hours later and a couple hundred bucks cheaper than I thought it was going to cost me I was back on the road. We come to ocean city every year and this was the first time we ever had a problem with a car but if it ever happens again I know where I'm going

Had an electrical issue with my truck while on vacation. Mike Dent's was recommended. Scheduled an appointment with these guys, they took me in, found out it was a bad battery and after the battery replacement, I was on my way. Thanks Guys.

Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable & caing.

Very honest people. I was vacationing with the family when my 2002 escalade broke down and was at the mercy of a service station. Mike Dents got me up an running in a day and the fix was a simple cleaning( not full replacement) of a part. They could have charged me hundreds instead a little over $100 and I was in my way. Thanks again.

We are out of state and we had an ABS brake issue and they were able to diagnose this promptly and fairly without having to repair unnecessary parts. If I lived here, they be my regular go-to shop. Thanks Mike Dent.

I'm a local in Ocean City and I was having some aftermarket installations being done and then unfortunately, my car wouldn't start. Middle of summer. Hot and of course, busy. I've known Mike for a little while but I was running thin on how it was ever going to start again and unfortunately I assumed because of the time of year, it'd have to be on hold. NOPE. Mike said bring it on in and he'd take a look. I know he's got appointments and walkins like no other but this man took the time even before he opened and after he closed his shop to figure out what was going on with my vehicle. Replaced a battery and then suggested that the dealership would be the way to go. From the time it was dropped off at Mike's to when I picked it up from the dealership fixed, Mike consistently communicated with me. He was extremely patient and helpful. I've 110% recommended my friends, family and co-workers to his shop!

Late on a Thursday my 2004 Nissan Quest started making a brain-rattling brake sound on the right rear. I googled around and the challenge when you are on travel is to find a repair shop that you hope will not completely rip you off. I called Mike Dent’s Complete Automotive Solutions late on Thursday afternoon. Even though they were very busy that Friday, they said get it in early on Friday and they would look at. I told my wife it would likely be $1,000 to $1,500 because we are out of towners. I could not have been MORE WRONG! Mike fixed it for an extremely reasonable price and I picked it up by 11:30 and it was perfect. I thought the last day of our vacation was going to be an expensive nightmare and I was dead wrong. I could not recommend Mike Dent's shop with any more positive enthusiasm. It is nice to know that when we go to Ocean City that there is an honest repair shop that does great work, in a timely manner at a fair price. --Dave Edstrom

Mike and staff (Mark) absolutely saved our vacation. On the way down from Hershey Pa our Chevy Suburban started shutting down at various times and locations (a very dangerous situation) I immediately hopped online to read what might be causing this to happen. I found many of the same instances that others were having. After about a 6 hour trip we by the grace of God we limped into OC and right in front of our hotel it shut down again. Immediately I hit the net looking for a shop to take a look at it. I usually average out the positive experiences people have with service providers. I kept coming back to Mike Dents Automotive and I'll tell you I'm glad I did. He called me personally and even listened I to my spiel about all of the info I saw online about the problem (not that he needed any of my input to diagnose the problem). He along with Mark showed genuine concern about our situation. He diagnosed the problem quickly and coincidentally it was the most prevalent fix for this entire problem that I saw on many forums. I felt confident in Mike that this was going to be the culprit of our problem. When we took a cab over to the shop to test drive it for an extended period the cab driver also had glowing things to say about Mikes shop claiming he was the best technician in OC. Boy did that further confirm we made the right choice. Just wanted to say the truck got us back home in great shape. Two sets of friends we got together with that have beach homes down there were unfamiliar with your shop and I told them he's your man for car repairs. Did I mention Mike was very reasonable and didn't in any way hold us hostage like some shops would in a tight spot. Thanks so much Mike/Mark and the gang. You truly did save our vacation!

I was in town on vacation in July 2016 and prior to making the trip from Pennsylvania, I had my car inspected and services so it was in good shape for the trip. My family and I were only in town for a week and two days before we were scheduled to leave, I made and stupid mistake and drove over a median (which were abundant in town) and did damage to my front tire. I was directed by AAA to Mike's shop (as they were AAA certified and have a A+ BBB rating) and I couldn't have been happier with the service I received. Not only was my car fixed, they made sure it was done in a timely manner so that I could make the trip home safely. I just wished I could have met Mark in person when I picked up my car to shake his hand to thank him for taking such good care of my car. I would highly recommend Mike's Complete Automotive Services!!!

Took care of me honestly and quickly when we broke down unexpectedly. Everyone there we talked to was nice and friendly.

On vacation in O.C. and my check engine light came on. This place was kind enough to use their code reader to identify the issue. As I had hoped/expected, it was nothing major. They advised me that I can drive home without the risk of damaging my vehicle more. They didn't try to sell repairs that I didn't need. Thank you.

I was vacationing with my family when my brakes started making a noise. Ended up the brake pads and rotors were bad on the back brakes. I spoke with Mark about the diagnosis on Monday when they opened. They ended up doing the back brakes, front brakes, changing the oil and rotating the tires and had it all complete by the end of the day. The service was great, prices were fair and so far I have no issues with the work that they did. Would definitely use them in the future and would highly recommend their service.

This is the ONLY place we take both our cars, for the past 5 years! I have NEVER been disappointed with services received. They're knowledgeable of both our cars. Service has always been top notch & fast. Reasonably priced! They obviously treat their customers the way they'd want to be treated. As long as they're in business, I'll go NOWHERE else! I've recommended to friends who have all felt the same way!

Been using Mike for many years now, the best in the area!

Service was great pricing was great if I lived in Maryland this would be my service center to go to awesome job guys!

Here from vermont with a leaky tire. They fixed me up in 20 minutes with no appointment! Thanks Mike

Our brake lines busted the day before we had to leave. They got us in and replaced all lines before we had to be out. Fast Courteous reliable. I would recommend. If I could give more stars I would.

diagnosis is always quick and complete. service is performed as required without unnecessary 'other' repairs. i would recommend mike's to anybody.

Service was great and price was very reasonable! They got us back on the road the same day! Great people and would definitely recommend!

I had leaks in two of my tires repaired and the tires balanced by my dealer a few days before we came to the shore on vacation. The car started to vibrate as soon as we drove over 50 mph. I called around to repair shops and found several that said they could balance my tires but two recommended Mike's as having better equipment. I made an appointment the same day at Mike's. They called me into the shop and showed me the process. It was clear that my dealer had not done the work. Mike's charged a very reasonable price, did the work quickly at the time promised and treated me like a valued customer. Mike's would be my shop if I lived on the shore.

Needed a U joint repair while in OC for the week. Mike's team took my truck in, diagnosed the issue, and was able to make the repairs in the same day. Highly recommend!

I've been taking cars to Mike for 15+ years, and I've never been disappointed. I've never had to take a car back a 2nd time with the same complaint. He has done major work for me - engine and tranny replacement, clutches, you name it. He even once flew my gas tank to the western shore to have it rebuilt rather than pay the outrageous UPS charges to ship a container that once held gasoline.

Mike was a life-saver. We were 2000 miles from home traveling in an unconventional vehicle. The alternator went out. We called Mike's and they took us right in, diagnosed the problem and were able to find the part right in Ocean City. Back on the road the a couple of hours. Good people.

Awesome. Quick and friendly service. Mike has been in business for a long time and has always treated me fair and honest

They are Great at what they do... Reliable, Honest, and very fair pricing! Not many auto service/repair places a customer can say they trust & can count on. We do, with 3 vehicles having been there. 100% satisfied.

Mike Dent is a class act. I have complete confidence in any repair that is done. Mike is completely honest and when he recommends a service, I know that it is necessary and will be done efficiently and at a reasonable cost. I never hesitate to recommend my friends to Mike Dent's!

I've been living in West Ocean City for the past 8 years & Mike's Shell has serviced all 4 of my cars since moving here. I've been very satisfied with all the work done over the years & would highly recommend them to anyone in the area. Kevin H

We were down for vacation when our front end started making awful noises. Sure that we needed brakes we called up the first place that came up in a Google search. Thank gosh it was Mike Dent's (aka Mike Shell) place! They looked all over our car, drove it around pronounced it okay to drive. Apparently a rock had gotten stuck in our brakes or something. They didn't charge us for their time or anything! Truly good people. The best as far as we are concerned. They certainly could've charged us for the labor that it took to give to look in any nook and cranny for a problem. They were thorough and wonderful to work with.

It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust. MIke's Shell is fantastic! Everyone there is friendly and they will give you an honest opinion. Of course they're going to recommend what they can to keep your car running its best (this is in response to the other review about up-selling), but if you ask Mike questions about what is absolutely necessary, what can wait a bit but will eventually be necessary, and what's just ideal, they will tell it to you straight. MIke is also been great about handling the logistics of my extended warranty to ensure payment, etc. They even know me by name there. Now, they did get to know me pretty well when I had an old car that had issues, but it's been 3 years since I bought my new car and I'm still greeted like a valued customer/part of the family. It doesn't get better than Mike's Shell and it's the only place I'll take my car.

These guys are stellar in character, skill and honesty. 2 years in a row on vacation we used them for car repairs and they were quick, accurate, honest and fair! Highly recommend!

On the way to Ocean City, our brake pad started to dig into the rotor. This is a 5 hr drive from our home. I found Mike Dent on Google & saw his good reviews. He took into consideration our situation & was able take it in right away. The cashier got us a taxi. Everyone there was pleasant & acted like they wanted to do their job. A rare find in this day and age.

Brought in 2 vehicles, 2 different times. One for$10 headlight bulb and then a broken muffler pipe that was welded. Better than buying a whole new exhaust system. When I picked it up, I found a very expensive bracelet in my cup holder that I forgot I lost. They are the best!

I brought my Toyota Rav in because my wife and I heard strange noises in the car all the way from Pa. Could not see anything or find anything out of the norm so we brought it to Mike Dents and they took us right away. It turned out to be some loose molding on the roof and they fixed it for free! They certainly could have exaggerated the problem but they took the straight and narrow path. The moral of the story is honesty is so refreshing and I highly recommend Mike Dent’s automotive! Thanks guys!

This is the second review I've posted for Mike Dent's Complete Automotive Solutions. I first brought my car to Mike Dent a little over two years ago. I was very impressed and have continued to take my car there for all services, including purchasing 4 new tires. When my car was due for a major timing belt service, I knew I could trust Mike Dent for an honest price and a reliable repair. His office provided me with a detailed quote for the job and explained to me that the antifreeze service my car was indicating due for was not necessary because they had taken care of that replacing the timing belt. Mike worked around my schedule and had my car back to me in no time. As a single parent whose child plays travel sports, I'm very thankful to have such a reliable honest mechanic to count on.

I had four new tires mounted on my truck. The service was fast and the price was what I was quoted. I will be back. Thanks guys. Frank

As always they got me back on the road....Always fun too as thy have been dealing with our old cars for years! Thanks guys.

From my first encounter with Mike Dent's Complete Automotive three years ago, Mike, Mark and all employees made an impression on me. I had been taking my vehicles to a small, family owned company in Annapolis for over 30 years. They were honest, reliable, competent, fair in pricing and always friendly and fun to be around. I'm so pleased to report that I've found the same kind of place for my vehicle's regular check ups and necessary services at Mike Dent's. I was very nervous about moving to Ocean City for fear of not finding a good mechanic...I would highly recommend to anyone.

Any time I've had to take my car to Mike's, they are attentive to my concerns and maintain it like it's their own. I trust their judgment completely.

As always, they gave me great service in a timely manner.

I was experiencing erratic starting - noises, hesitating, excess cranking. After performing electrical system check it was determined that a badly degraded battery was the culprit. They charged only for the battery plus a small fee for the system check. Problem was solved in less than the estimated time.

Always professional, friendly and timely!

Have been to Mike’s Dent shop for repairs and always get the best customer service and great work done and done when they say it will be ready. Best repair place in Ocean City Maryland!

Above and beyond the best customer service. We are truly grateful to have these experienced workers protecting the vehicles we drive everyday.

GREAT CREW AND SERVICE.

We were on vacation in ocean city, when we had trouble with our 2008 Buick lucerne's power steering. Mike took our car in on short notice and fixed it in a day. Mike also noticed a leak in my transmission hose and fixed that at no cost. We made it back to Cleveland with no issues. I would absolutely recommend Mike Dent! Thanks Mike!

Needed oil change lube tire rotation along with advice on other cars. Mark and Mike were quick to help and we're quick to fix my car. Bring car in middle of week when they can fit it in was their request, and dropped off at 8 and picked up at noon. Too easy.

I can’t even imagine taking our vehicle anywhere else, including the dealership! From the time you enter, to the time you’re finished, it’s an EXCELLENT experience! Sitting, listening to each of them talk to clients, I don’t know how they do it! People are so demanding & I’m sure they sometimes have to bite their tongue, but you’d never know it! Their services are priced low, compared to most others. When you leave, you know, from previous visits, that it’s been done right! Thank you, Mike, Sandy, & Mark, along with all your crew!

Mike sponsored a senior bowling team so when we needed a mechanic a few years ago, we decided to give him a try. I am very glad we did! Reliable and trustworthy. Always explains everything and always a fair price.

Fast, Honest, Great Work... What more needs to be said. Except they are the best

I have been taking my cars to this shop for over 16 years. I could not be more satisfied. They get it right promptly at a fair price. They are honorable and care about the quality of their work.

Prompt ordering of my auto part and swift scheduling of repair. Great customer service!

Mark is always a pleasure to speak with and is always professional! He is very good at explaining things to me as I am as stupid as can be when it comes to cars! I have been taking my car to Mike Dent's for years, so has my family and coworkers. They are honest and always professional. Would never go anywhere else!

Thanks for the fast friendly local convenient service, a great neighborhood service station that served me well . I got a courtesy call and when I got there , I was in and out in 15 mins . Thanks again

Needed so work done in a hurry, Mike got me in last minute and had my truck finished in a day. The bill was less than expected. Would give 10 stars if allowed.

On time, fast, quality service

I bring all of my cars to Mike Dent’s Complete Automotive. They always provide top quality work, and great customer service. I bring all my cars here from my wife’s daily, to my off-road Jeep and my z28. You will Never find a more trustworthy place to take your ride.

Completely satisfied. They are honest, efficient and great at what they do.

As usual the work is always done timely and efficiently. Also I always enjoy my time with good conversation and interesting other customers.

I have used this shop for several of my cars and for different services. They have always been courteous, professional and I trust them completely. They keep in touch when they diagnose the problem and don’t try to sell things you don’t need. Today, I needed s serpentine belt and another part and it was taken care of promptly. I wllbeback if Ineed further service.

Just took my car there to have brakes checked. I was waited on quickly and Mike and his staff were friendly. They showed me that my brakes did not need changed yet and the back brakes just needed some cleaning. They also fixed my back trunk that had a issue where it would not open from the outside. I never feel like Mike is trying to up sell me when I take my vehicles there. Yesterday was the third different vehicle I have brought there through the years. There professionalism and willingness to make things less expensive when they could take advantage is why I will always take my vehicles there for any maintenance needs.

Took my son's car in, to fix front right tire , tire needed to be ordered, picked up car next day , simple fix , 24 hr sevice basically, all good and convenient to my schedule, staff is professional

Once again, I have to thank you for going above and beyond. Your care for your customers, their safety and your attention to detail is remarkable. There is only one place I trust to take my Jeep to, and that is you. Thank you for making sure my family and my dog are safe on the road. I wish i could give you more than 5 stars. You go beyond the extra mile. Thank you!! Tamara Cavanaugh & Clancy

As always, best service in, or near Ocean City, Md. Quality, professional, and friendly....FUN even when you are in a jam! Thanks as always from the Thomson Fleet!

Mike and his staff are true professionals. They just finished work on several of our older trucks, and as always the trucks are in excellent working order. We’ve been customers here for 15 years, and would recommend Mike’s to anyone. Thanks, as always

Considering you wrote me a bad check for almost 1600 I would only expect you to bash me and of course now the work we did was no good.

Fast frendly and reasonable

Honest and reliable. Taken on time so that I don't have to wait. Courteous and professional.

After going through a few bad experiences with other mechanics finally found an honest mechanic with quality service! Will never go anywhere else. Know when we take our cars there will get an honest evaluation and quality service! Thanks Mike Dent!

Thank You for all you do to keep my rag ( I mean, Baby) on the road. 35 Years + of excellent and fair service, you treat this customer right. I always brag about my mechanic. Thanks Again.

I started with Mikes Auto when I lived in Ocean Pines. My parents live in the area and highly recommended him due to his honesty. I since moved to Bridgeville, De and continue to drive to Mikes for my service needs. Been two years now. Thank you for your honesty and quality service. I'm a customer for life!

Always love coming to Mike Dent's. The people there are always making sure that my car is in tiptop condition. They go the extra mile.

As usual I left Mike's satisfied and confident that all that needed to be done was taken care of and that if anything needed attention in the very near future I would have been told. Friendly staff that know the repair business. What's not to like here?

Everyone there is helpful and concerned. I had two tires that were dry rotted and had to be replaced. They were able to obtain the best tires for my vehicle at the best value. They are very good about working with my schedule and are professional. I recommend them to everyone I know for any kind of automotive work.

Been doing business with them for years through many varied autos/ trucks owned. ALWAYS get a true reasonable assessment about work needed, cost and the time it will take.

Mike Dent is our go-to guy for our automotive needs. Mike and his staff know their stuff and try to b as helpful as possible. I have found him to be very honest and on some occasions he declined to perform some things I thought I needed because I either didn't need it done or it could be fixed by a simple adjustment and not replacing parts needlessly. I whole heartedly recommend him.

Great

It is good to know that only work that really needs to be done will be done and work that doesn't need to be done immediately will be postponed until really needed. Makes you feel like the owner is in business to make customers happy and confident in the work being done and not just to line his pockets. Management always explains the problem, solution and cost so you can make a good decision about going forward.

When my son broke down in Ocean City MD. on vacation the day before he had to leave. I looked up repair shops and found Mike Dents. All looked good on the reviews and I contacted them. They were very nice and helpful. They found out the starter on my 2007 Ridgeline went bad. They said they can replace it before he leaves and they did it in the time they said. When I wrote the original review I assumed the replacement starter was a remanufactured, it was not, so the price they gave me was on target. I called back to check on an issue and they explained to me it was an original equipment starter not refurbished. I tried to edit my review and couldn't do so so I am writing up a new one. My apologizes for jumping the gun on my 1st review. Mike helped my son on his first trip away alone so I thank them for that.

We needed a new alternator on a company truck. Mike and his staff had the job completed in just a few hours, with an oil change and a comprehensive exam as well. We have a fleet of older trucks, with a myriad of issues from time to time. Mike's keeps us up and running every time.

When we were on our way to Ocean City from Hershey Pennsylvania, our back brakes went out. We were referred to Mike Dents automotive repair shop by a relative who has benefited from his kindness and expertise in the past. He got us in the same day we called, ascertained the problem, gave us a quote, and fixed it and just all within a couple hours. His rates were extremely fair and reasonable, and he was very courteous, knowledgeable, and expedient. Would recommend him to all!

Been using mike dent for years! Always honest . Price is reasonable. Always prompt . Customer for life now

I'm from out of town and needed a MD inspection. This place is the best. They got it done and they called the dealer I bought it from to pay for repairs to pass inspection. I saw them help several other customers while I was there. If I lived here, they would be the only people to work on my car

I have been coming to Mike's for 4 years. Never had a bad experience. Thought I needed new brakes previous visit...just needed computer reset. Sooo honest! Saved me hundreds of dollars! My car is my baby! LOL Mike's takes excellent care! I'm a VERY loyal customer

This business really took good care of college age daughter. Her car needed front brakes and rotors. They did not take advantage of a young girl from out of town . Very honest business. Very fair price. Was the same price back home in Pittsburgh

I had an 8 o'clock for my oil change and tire rotation and it was started right on time while I waited. Everyone was polite and friendly as always. I'm always happy with the fair cost of services.

My starter motor was starting to fail. I waited until the last minute. I took my car to the service center right away. It was a Friday night and it was closed. The next day I went in to give them my key and told them to fix it. When they reopened Monday, my car was fixed by noon. That was awesome. I live close to this repair center and they will receive all my future business. They are not cheap, but I don't mind paying for the convenience and the efficiency. I am a satisfied customer.

I'm new to OC. I thought I had a problem with my emergency brake not fully releasing based on counsel from another shop. I read the positive online reviews and took my car there today. They tested the emergency brake thoroughly and did a temperature test on the rotors to see if there were indications of irregularity. They concluded this wasn't the issue and suggested I drive with one of their mechanics to recreate the symptoms. I did. Based on the drive and a visual inspection the mechanic informed me that it was irregular wear on my tires that did not pose any immediate issue. They sent me on my way with confidence. Smart, honest, and a staff with a sense of humor. I know where I am headed when I need those new tires and any other future repairs. Highly recommended.

Mark is AMAZING!!! Couldn't ask for better service! These are good, honest people and I have been a loyal customer for a few years now. They have always treated me great! Highly recommended!

A big THANK YOU goes out to the service men & women working here. I have had several previous repairs done and got a honest answer on how best to proceed. We have always kept our vehicles on a maintenance schedule with the dealer but had a lot of issues when vehicles were taken to them. Before they even start any work they explain what is being done upfront. They go through the process of repairs as if it ere their vehicle, not following a manual of ho many hours of service to charge, but what time they are actually working on a repair. Thank you for you honesty in car repairs. This as a gem of a find for us.

Quality work, fair price

I take my car for servicing to Mike Dent's Automotive because they are friendly, efficient and most importantly, honest. They will not find things that need done just to make money. Recently, I was planning a long trip and wanted assurance that my car was road ready. They made the time to look over my car and gave me the a-okay to drive within a day of my request. Mike is personally on the job overseeing the work that his team is performing. He truly care about his customers.

They repaired my work van the same day because they knew he had to get back on the road to do heating repairs for my business

This was our first experience with Mike Dents. They were very accommodating to our needs. The repeat customers coming in all seemed very satisfied with their service. We will return when our vehicles need to be serviced. Thanks for a great experience.

Thank you for responding to my email about servicing the Neon. I assumed that because of Thanksgiving, that i would not get it back until the following Monday. To my pleasure you fit me in on Wednesday morning and was completed before 12 noon. The price was exactly what i had envisioned so it was perfect. Thanks again

Provided immediate assistance in fixing unexpected brake repair while at Assateague State Park. Immediate response, analysis of problem, and service. Back on the road in 2 1/2 hours for our Ford F-150. If you need vehicle repairs while at Assateague Island or Ocean City, call Mike Dents.

I had my brakes bled. I also had the steering valve and cylinder replaced. Very good work at an affordable price. The people were friendly and they finished the work in a single day. I will be back. By the way; my car is 41 years old. Not the easiest car to work on.

Fast and accurate, thanks for the brake check - ron D.

I'am entitled to free oil changes at Pohanka toyota but i trust Mike Dents to give me the best service and be honest .

They were very mindful of my goals and what I wanted to have fixed. Gave me some advice that actually saves me money. I have always liked and trusted Mike. Terry Looney

Mark and Mike are all over it. I dropped off my truck at 330 pm and by 630 pm they called me all finished. You don't get that service anywhere else. They stayed late to get me back on the road and I fully appreciate their effort. Always, always always on their game. Thanks again guys!!!!

I'm a local in Ocean City and I was having some aftermarket installations being done and then unfortunately, my car wouldn't start. Middle of summer. Hot and of course, busy. I've known Mike for a little while but I was running thin on how it was ever going to start again and unfortunately I assumed because of the time of year, it'd have to be on hold. NOPE. Mike said bring it on in and he'd take a look. I know he's got appointments and walkins like no other but this man took the time even before he opened and after he closed his shop to figure out what was going on with my vehicle. Replaced a battery and then suggested that the dealership would be the way to go. From the time it was dropped off at Mike's to when I picked it up from the dealership fixed, Mike consistently communicated with me. He was extremely patient and helpful. I've 110% recommended my friends, family and co-workers to his shop!

It was the final night of our vacation in Ocean City. I'm packing our car at 11 pm hoping to get an early start the next morning to beat the crazy traffic of more people coming and going from OC. Imagine my horror when I noticed my engine and battery light beaming at me. So much for my early get away. A quick google search took me to Mike Dent's Complete Automotive Service. Looked good to me and had some good reviews. Only problem was that Mike wasn't open on Saturday. I emailed him anyway, I had nothing to lose even though it was now midnight. Early Saturday morning I'm on the phone with AAA hoping to get a tow truck early to get me to a garage that could help. AAA called Mike to see if he was open. Mike received my email the night before and said he wasn't open but he was in the garage and he would wait for me. Wonderful. AAA said a a tow truck from Race Track would be to me within an hour. I even received a text from them confirming. I waited an hour and a half and no tow truck. AAA called me back and said that Race Track wouldn't come to get me and they never reached out to me to tell me they weren't coming even after I received a confirmation saying they were coming. They just let me sit. Another tow truck company was called but by now traffic was a complete nightmare. I waited a total of 4 hours for a tow truck. Mike waited patiently for me even though he was closed. After I finally arrived he diagnosed my problem and needed parts he didn't have, so he had to order them from the local parts store. More waiting. Parts arrived, car fixed and my bill was extremely reasonable. Being an out of towner I expected to be racked over the coals but I was treated like I was a loyal customer for years and the service was exceptional. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Mike Dents Complete Automotive Services.

Mike Dent's Complete Automotive Solutions, has a unique service for emergency repairs on a Sunday. They have an answering service that allows you to schedule an appointment for Monday morning. My car was leaking coolant the problem was diagnosed, I received a phone call, the repaired discussed and completed and I was heading home by 1PM.

This continues to be the ONLY place we bring our cars! Fast & efficient service! Honestly, NEVER had anything but a good experience. Only sad thing, their cat that lived there, has died, R.I.P., Momma Kitty! I'll miss you!

Very fast friendly and was given helpful suggestions to prevent problem in future. Dealer would have had me waiting half the day and charged me at least three times as much money

As always, Mike and his crew came through like the professionals they are. Mark at the desk always follows through, and Mike DeRoche and the staff under the hood are the best, above and beyond. Thanks Mike Dent, you're the best

I was down on vacation from PA my altantor died in my car and this establishment took care of us and had us on our way in a few hours. I highly recommend if you have any mechanical breakdowns while on vacation here in Ocean city Maryland don't hesitate in putting your trust in this establishment. AAA +++++ thank you Mike and all your workers I will spread the word back In PA about your professional and friendly service since I have many family and friends that vactiin in Ocean City

LOF-always great service. Even helping me to sell my old car. What more can you ask for!

I do not remember the young lady and her son's name that waited until 7:52 Sunday evening to sign my truck in for repairs for Monday morning. She was wonderful to come and was able to get my truck back Monday afternoon. Mike Dempsey Auto repair shop was outstanding. I will recommend them highly to family, friends, and anyone in Ocean City. Thank You

Very fast and professional

Mike Dent's performed the inspection and the work required to pass on time. Friendly and efficient staff

While vacationing in Ocean City, my check engine light came on. Mikes read the code, identified the problem, and didn't try to sell/up charge me for what wasn't needed. Thanks so much!

Needed to sell a car. Had them go over the entire car, & also doing a State inspection. Got everything done, within 2 days! This is the ONLY place we take our cars, for the past 7 yrs.!

They fit me in early in the morning. And not an unreasonable wait time. Thank you so much.

I was vacationing with my family when my brakes started making a noise. Ended up the brake pads and rotors were bad on the back brakes. I spoke with Mark about the diagnosis on Monday when they opened. They ended up doing the back brakes, front brakes, changing the oil and rotating the tires and had it all complete by the end of the day. The service was great, prices were fair and so far I have no issues with the work that they did. Would definitely use them in the future and would highly recommend their service.

Fast, courteous, fairly priced work. Brake work on all 4,s. Excellent. Recommend Recommend Recommend!

I have four vehicles that I have had serviced there. They always know how to test them first to give you an idea of what is going on and will tell you the cost to fix it and give you a time frame to expect completion of the job. Totally satisfied with their service.

Thank you for great service again, year after year. Its a relief having them local to take care of our van and send us reminders to change oil or to get something check out. We are very grateful.

After visiting 2 other places I was so glad to find Mikes! Very Fast, Friendly & informative! Thanks so much!

I have used Mike's before, everything was done to my satisfaction. They are very courteous and I know the job will be done correctly. I would recommend his shop to anyone. He is very honest, and he will not try to sell you something you don't need like same shops.

Was visiting Ocean City over New Year's Holiday when my Honda CRV started making grinding noises. I called on New Years Day and left a message because I needed to return home the next day and was not comfortable driving 4+ hours home. I received a return call from Mile within an hour who told me he was closed the following day but if I dropped by he would check things out for me. As it turns out my rear calipers were frozen. Mike took the time to show and explain to me exactly what needed to be repaired and was fair when pricing the job

We continue to be impressed with Mike and his staff. They treat you as one of their family. Many times Mike has said to Jim, "I'd like to take your money but you do not need to have that done!" We have been customers for over 10 years and have nothing but high praise for Mike and his crew!

Excellent experience at Mike Dent's Automotive! Service was prompt & pricing was great. I highly recommend their services for all of your automotive needs.

Prompt. Friendly and. Knowledgeaable

Great place of business

I came to get a tire plugged but i was informed I needed additional service.... very helpful

Great service on time and excellent work. I made an appointment for an alignment job. Mike Dents did an excellent job with it and also fixed another problem my car had. Their service was very quick, showed outstanding quality and the price was very reasonable. So glad I found an auto-repair shop in Ocean City that I can trust.

Mike's Dent Shop gave me an estimate on my car and told me what could wait and what couldn't. They did the service faster than promised at the price that was agreed on. They gave me an estimate for work that I wanted to wait on and were very easy to work with. For a woman especially, working with a good mechanic shop is priceless. I'd recommend their service highly.

MD was recommended, and I'm glad. I had brake lines and brakes replaced. They said the front brakes still had some life left in them, and the rumbling was not a safety issue; they could do the job if the rumble bothered me, but said if it were their car they'd wait before adding another $350 to my approx $1,600 repair bill. I sure was grateful.

Confusing to enter, glad the clerk shared that there was a waiting room!

I receive the best service at Mike Dents they inspected my my car and told me everything I needed to fix and how much it would be would deffenetly come back. Thankyou

I made the appointment and my son took my lifted Jeep in for alignment some shop would not do no problem at Mike Dents. Did a four wheel alignment because I put new rear end in the Jeep and everything is riding great.

Always great service whether problem is big or small. Work is done quickly and at a reasonable cost. I recommend them to people all the time.

I have used Mike Dents automotive since I moved to the shore almost 6 years ago. I was referred to them by someone who knows a lot more about cars than I do and have referred others to them. I have never had a bad experience and have trust in what they tell me. I will continue to use them for all my automotive needs

as always quick, honest and pleasant place to get service! Love that we finally have a place to go where we r comfortable and trust them!!
