Curry's Auto Service, headquartered in Sterling, VA, opened its first Maryland location on August 18, 2011, at 457 N. Frederick Avenue, Gaithersburg. The store is 5500 square feet with six service bays and the state-of-the-art equipment and amenities customers have come to expect of a Curry’s Auto Service location.

The opening of the Gaithersburg store represents the third store opening in nine months for Curry's Auto, which opened a store at Dulles Town Center on November 15 and a store in the City of Fairfax on April 4. Operating seven shops in Northern Virginia, Curry’s Auto Service is one of the largest independent service and repair shops in the DC area, serving over 4,000 customers a month at its shops in Arlington, Chantilly, Dulles, Fairfax City, Falls Church, Gainesville and Great Falls/Reston.

Curry's Gaithersburg store will be managed by an experienced team of Maryland natives, including former Dulles Town Center general manager Michael Dorsey. Dorsey and his Dulles team have consistently garnered outstanding reviews across consumer websites including Angie’s List, Yelp and Customer Link.

Curry's Auto Service President Matt Curry says, "We are very excited to open our first Maryland location. Maryland is a strong market and we intend to open several more Maryland locations in 2012. We already have many Maryland customers and they have been asking us to open up the Maryland market for years. Business is good right now for auto repair as people are keeping their cars longer. So long as we can maintain our rigorous quality standards, we’re going to keep expanding and keep putting people to work.”
