I am in Frederick county and also looking for good service for my 9000 CS. I have been to most of the dealers in MD. The dealer in Maugansville (North of Hagerstown) is very accommodating. I purchased my car in Germany and they always give a "loner-car" until my repairs are complete. The dealer in Rockville does very good work and will provide a "loner-car", but you must have a major repair or service done. I also took my car to FITZGERALD AUTO MALL (in Frederick)....NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE!!!!!!!!!!! They provide the worst service I have experienced. I had repairs done to my car and needed some paint work done. And they didn't fully paint my car. Under florescent lighting (at a local shopping mall, one night), I looked back at my car and could see the primer.
