Aspen Hill club has a clinic that is just starting up. they’re in silver spring but not too far away

Thanks so much!

There was a battery place next to Frisco's that did my cell phone; they may be able to do it.

Try Columbia Association. Longreach Tennis Club is their main tennis and pickleball center and they should be able to hook you up with lessons, league play, court rentals etc. Columbia Association

How about where Illchester road crosses the Patapsco?

Prob not ideal to do magnet fishing in Columbia as there aren't many deep waters, you can try Columbia lake or lake elkhorn though.

On the bridges in the path system?

That's so nice of you to say. That's what I'm thinking!! Have a lovely day, fellow Columbia reddit stranger!

Thanks so much!!

Nothing to laugh at, it's not that old, and you might have some good memories stored in there.

There is a location off of center park drive.

Its horrible. I dreaded it when I lived in Columbia and worked in Rockville and that was 8 years ago. I work from home now, never again.

> Took them two days just to do my recalls

I would have expected the cause to be more "waiting for parts from Germany". The laments of owners of German badge buggies' sitting in the shop waiting for parts from Germany are legion.

I don’t have experience with Heritage service, but I can at least say their VW and Subaru sales team is excellent. They didn’t charge a markup on a Ascent and even worked on the numbers with my family.

I used to have an Audi. Recommend Induktion Motorsports in Linthicum.

No HoCo, but Deutschwurx is supposedly awesome. Hanover, MD

This is such important information! Thank you for sharing

Think I might try BA, thank you

If it’s just routine maintenance and not recall work needed I’ve had good luck with local shop Ken’s Service Center on Minstrel Way. If you’re looking for a more specialty shop British American Auto Care is around the corner, haven’t used them personally but heard good things.

Can confirm Ourisman VW in Laurel is hit or miss. Took them two days just to do my recalls this month because the tech messed up something.

DO NOT GO TO ANTWERPEN. My girlfriend recently went in there because the turbo in her Tiguan blew up, and they caused more damage to her car and then refused to admit to it. The second Volkswagen center we went to had to verified proof that Antwerpen caused the damage, but the technicians at Antwerpen refused to take ownership of their mistakes and were incredibly rude all around

I avoid ourisman at all costs. Same exact issues as you. So there is a noticeable difference in quality between the two dealerships? They say to avoid dealerships as they usually make you pay more

While this doesn’t totally answer your question: I usually take mine to the VW dealership in Catonsville (Heritage). It’s just over the border from Howard County and just a 15 minute drive from Columbia. I once took it to Ourisman in Laurel but didn’t have as good of an experience.. felt like they saw my obvious lack of car knowledge and tried to upsell me, plus my car drove a little weirdly afterwards.

Echoing that making sure neighbors are aware and vote in village elections is paramount. Barely anyone votes- which makes every single vote very impactful.

Yes! I lived in my house for 15 years and only lost power once.

Some people are just unhappy. I’m not a native Marylander and I can tell you that Maryland is an excellent place to live. You’ll find rude people anywhere, and yes it is expensive, but overall there is so much offered in Maryland, I love it here.
