Fairhill Auto Center in
Elktonia (MD)

Hit a deer and had to get my radiator and condenser replaced. quote was beyond reasonable for parts and labor. Quick turn around and back on the road. Drove the vehicle to Wilmington and back to Rising Sun after. Everything working fantastic. Would recommend this shop to anyone!!

Honest and reliable as well as first class mechanics. And to top it all off, nice guys

I've been bringing my car to Fair Hill Auto for a while now, and I can't recommend them enough. They truly care about their customers and always go the extra mile. The work they do is solid, dependable, and fairly priced. If it's routine maintenance or more complicated repairs, I always leave feeling confident in the service I've received.

I've been there twice now and been extremely happy with the service I received. Dave (who I think is the owner) is personable and old school and puts care into his work.

Provided me an inspection and estimate for free in a timely manner. Greatly appreciated and will return.

Dave is so very helpful and customer friendly. I brought in my car with a slow leak in my back tire. He found the problem within minutes; a small screw that my dealer missed last month during tire rotation was embedded in the tire. Dave patched it up, and I was out within 20 minutes. Thanks so much, Dave.

My family and I have been using Fairhill Auto for more years than I care to remember - at least 30! We have always had excellent advice and service, including car pickup and return, and fair prices.. And always shared a joke with Dave, the first owner and now with Dave II.

Love this place. My husbands family has been taking their cars to Fairhill for years. Dave is always fair and communicative.

I've been lied to by several mechanics in the past who have recommended work that I knew didn't need to be done for a few more bucks. Fair Hill acted with 100% honesty when they could have taken me for a lot more work. Looks like I have a new mechanic.

Just learned about this place and I'm so lucky I did!! The owner, Dave, was super helpful. I didn't need an appointment for my issue, and he was super fast and efficient! I will be going here if I need anything from now on. It helps that it seems family owned, with a lot of history.

Dave Green is fair, trustworthy, service oriented and will give it to you straight what needs to be done.

We've been taking our cars here for three decades and two generations of the owners and continue to think it's fantastic!

Fairhill has been a great place to take my car for over 10 years now. If they ever find problems, they'll call to discuss options and will be very open about the price. The quality of their work is superb. At one point I needed a few hundred dollars of repair work done, but when they got into it, the issue ended up being a lot simpler than they thought. They could easily have charged whatever they wanted but they didn't take advantage of my ignorance. I had a much lower bill and a fully functional car.

Excellent service! Very trustworthy guys. I was told some repairs would be $1,500 and they only charged 754 the same repairs. I recommend these guys to everyone I know!

Excellent service and work and very nice family feel. Definitely recommend this business.

They are extremely thorough and dependable. They perform quality work. And they work with you when it comes to prices. I have dealt with them for over 10 years.

One of the best Auto Centers on the planet. Honest excellent service.

Cannot recommend enough! Took my Kia here after an accident had blown the airbag, but only caused minimal cosmetic damage. No other shop would touch me without insisting on fixing the expensive cosmetic work as well. He was able to fix the important stuff, AND do all the overdue maintinence for under my budget. And FAST too. A total Godssend.

Great local garage. Honest estimates. They service all five of my cars

I can't recommend Dave, Steve, and their crew enough. I've been doing business with them for 15 years. It's actually difficult to think of any 15 year relationship that's never had at least one problem - but that's what I've got with Fair Hill Auto. Prices are beyond fair; the work is fantastic, and there is never any pressure for additional services. I've had roughly 100 services/repairs done here and am just now getting around to the review. Patronize with confidence!

I wanted an oil change and a brake change for 1 axle. I had already bought the brakes and brought them with me. I believe I may have asked for a tire rotation too. Somehow this cost $330. I believe the oil change was listed as $20. There was only one other item on the bill, but I forget the category, that had the other $310. Now, labor for changing brake pads couldn't have been more than $100, I provided the brakes, and was only getting one axle changed. The bill should have been $120. The guy at the counter told me they had found something else wrong that needed to be adjusted. I can't remember what it was. I remember when he explained it, it didn't sound like a part, but instead sounded like an adjustment. I don't know cars. It's irrelevant, because ultimately I asked them for $120 worth of work, and they charged me $330. If there was a pressing item that they found that was going to triple the bill, they should have contacted me and asked if they could do it. They did not. Bottom line : I dropped the car off for $120 worth of work and they charged me $330 and did not confirm with me that they could do $210 of additional work. Maybe this was just poor communication on their part, a lapse that normally doesn't occur, in which case the other reviews will balance mine out, but my experience was 1 star and I will not be going back.

I had these guys replace the serpentine belt a while back and it came off going down the road three months later. At the same time, I asked if they could clean up the lens cover on the headlights. The guy used some type of rotating buffing/polishing machine and he tore the hell out of the rubber molding that goes around the lens and the lens itself was all scratched to hell. Very unprofessional job.

Oil pan plug didn't want to come off when I was changing my oil. I called and they told me to stop by and they would loosen it. They went ahead and changed the oil & filter with the ones in my back seat, in about 15 minutes, and charged me what I would have expected to pay just to get the plug bolt loosened! I'll definitely be going there again!

I've been dealing with Fair Hill Auto for approximately two years and have used them for everything from oil changes and tire rotations to a timing belt replacement. These guys are good, fairly priced and demonstrably honest. I never go back to the dealer except for my "service included" new car. I won't take my other three cars anywhere else but Fair Hill.

The starter in my 2006 BMW went up and I was stranded at Kohl's in newark. I called, they told me what tow company to use and the tow company charged THEM. They fixed my starter and everything was done in a day. They even made a special arrangement so that I could pick my car up after hours. When I paid, they rolled the fix and tow into one payment which made it really easy. I've always gone to the dealership but this place makes me trust the smaller local companies. I'll drop in at Fair Hill Auto next time I need something done next time.

I took my car to Fair Hill Auto Center to look at a rattling noise that was diagnosed by another auto shop as worn struts that would cost between $800-$1100. When I told the mechanic about needing struts replaced, he told me he would prefer to look at it himself. It turned out to be a simple repair that cost less than $80, with an oil change included! The staff was polite and friendly, but most of all honest. They now will have a customer for life!

Quick turn around, and they called me to let me know what was needed before doing anything on the car. They are very attentive to service. One time, I took the car back because of a wobble after breaks were installed, and they fixed what was wrong with a defective break drum that warped, no charge.
