What clients say about Horizontal Motors in Nottingham (MD)
Was referred to this shop after searching around and being denied from numerous other shops who refused to work on my car after a collision. As soon as I called Horizontal Motors, without hesitation they told me they would be glad to help, and exactly how they would go about fixing the problem. Every employee I spoke to was professional and completely transparent every step of the way. I even ended up spending less than I expected! The price was more than fair, especially because they are the only shop around that will do specialty collision and electrical work. I can not recommend Horizontal Motors enough! I will be going to them from now on for all the work I can not do myself.
Ive been to a decent bit of performance shops but this is the best one I’ve been to hands down after just being there one time, really cool people and you can tell they know what they’re talking about. They got my car running right again and didn't have me wait weeks just in and out and done right cant ask for nothing else thanks again will be seeing me again!!!
These guys did some work for me about a year ago and I should have left a review then because my experience was just as good. But recently they did a clutch and flywheel in my old, rusted Toyota Tacoma. The truck can be a nightmare to work on because of the rust, but they got it done. And they barely charged me for what was certainly a whole lot more work than anticipated. And they got it done fast. The price was very fair. This is the second time they’ve done some work for me that they’ve gone above and beyond just in the interest of doing good business and making a customer happy. Androw even called me after I left to explain how I can diagnose a completely different issue that the truck was having.
I’ve lived all up and down the east coast and I’ve gone to a lot of different shops. I know how hard it can be to find a good, honest and fair mechanic. Horizontal motors is top tier in all of those categories. This is the type of place and people that deserve to be successful. Take your vehicles there, you will be glad you did.
Great shop! Especially if you drive a high-end car brand. They'll work on just about any make, though. The owner is a car enthusiast and works with his mechanics. They are honest. They'll tell you what needs fixed now and what can wait to save you money. They never try to over sell anything. The owner lives in the area and cares about his business, neighbors, and reputation.
Honest. Hard to find honest mechanics especially when dealing with a BMW. They are hundreds of five stars for a reason. Trust is everything. Love this place
When it comes to cars I'm not a mechanical person at all. Yesterday my car had some acceleration issues and I was unable to drive when going up the hill. I was referred to horizontal motors by a coworker. She went to several places spending thousands of dollars. But This was the only shop that was able to fix her vehicle. I live very close to this location so I gave it a try. The staff were polite, respectful, honest and helpful. In past experiences dealerships/mechanics usually tried and get over on woman, but not here. The staff take a lot of pride in their work and their customer service. They are honest, respectful and dependable. I dropped my car off around 4pm. Once they did the diagnostic I was informed that my car acceleration issue could possibly be from the rusted transmission fluid line that was leaking fluid. However, transmission replacement wasn’t ruled out yet. I was told that they would replace the transmission fluid line first, just to see if that was actually the problem. It was a little late in the evening, so that means the part was expected to be shipped the next morning. They said that they would call me tomorrow. Thank god, I received a phone call right before the shop closed, they had repaired my car. They stated they that there was no need to replace the transmission, because that wasn’t the issue. It was the transmission line that was causing the issue. Luckily the part was delivered earlier than expected. 😀
After my vehicle was serviced I test drove it, and it accelerated fine. Thank you so much for your skilled service and honest/helpful communication.
Awesome experience at Horizontal Motors! Brought my car in with a check engine light on, with an alert that said "reduced power to engine". They were able to figure out what was wrong and fix the issue in 24 hours! Extremely friendly and very fair pricing!
Great Mechanic shop 10/10 service. Very experienced technicians that got my car back on the road for the best price in town the work they did was very clean the technician took very good care of my vehicle.
Awesome experience. They were great with explaining the issues that I had. Horizontal Motors are great mechanics. My 2016 jeep was going to the trash heap. This SUV has become a reliable vehicle.
When my regular auto shop was not able to fit me in (until two weeks from now) to check a tire that had a slow leak, I called Horizontal Auto. They had me come in today and within 30-45 minutes they had found the nail, repaired my tire, and I was on my way! Excellent and courteous service that I highly recommend!!
Great experience, they solved all the issues with my cars suspension that another shop handled incorrectly, and the pricing on labor was very reasonable. Had all the work done in a week, when other shops quoted over a week for the parts to come in.
Would definitely go back for any work I need done.
My overall experience was more than a 5….Andrew and his team are so professional and kind. They showed me the problem…explained and very hands on to make sure that I saw and understood everything. The vibe is very chill and friendly and welcoming. This is the shop if you are looking for good quality work and down to earth type professionalism….this is definitely my
Shop to go for whatever problems or questions I have.

I took my car to Horizontal Motors with little Hope of It being repaired. The dealership overcharged me various different times for work done.

The issue that I was told that was wrong with my car was not found by him. I will never take my car to anyone else. This company saved me thousands of dollars. I am so grateful . thank you For your excellent service. I am your customer for life.

Buy this place was respectful and very prompt ! Thank you so much ! If you have any wiring issues please bring it here !
A young shop with the customer care and feel of a generational business.
Professional and personal - Horizontal Motors is a young and passionate owner/founder’s dream of the friendly neighborhood one-stop auto shop curated and cared for with an honest love for cars and respect for the people that drive them. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and wouldn’t have been able to continue my road trip had my problems not occurred just around the bend. I’m incredibly grateful to Androw and Steve for taking the time to stay past closing to help me get back on the road. I recommend this shop, without hesitation, to anyone in need of auto work near and far. I hope to see this business thriving in the decades to come and I won’t be surprised if I do.
I had a phenomenal experience. I was referred by a well known and respected local machine shop. Androw the owner is honest, professional , and extremely knowledgeable! He worked with me to explain throughly and I am overjoyed to plan my second project with Androw. An MR 2. I hope to have many projects with Androw over the coming years!
I am so glad that I found Horizon Motors! Phenomenal professionalism and service. The entire process was painless...form diagnosing the problem-getting the parts-to the repair and out the door...all within 2 hours. Androw is the best! I will definitely be back and utilizing this shop for all my future car care needs. Already telling all my family and friends as well! Thank you and your team for restoring my confidence in car repair facilities!
Great mechanic, turnaround times are always fast. Does the job and then more. After getting new tires on my e36, Androw did a inspection of the underside of the car and gave me great pointers on what to replace/repair next. Any off sound he hears he starts to check it out making sure your car is running healthy. Not to mention they have great prices!
Recently had Horizontal Motors do a full engine diagnosis/repair on an Acura Integra, including a timing belt replacement and tune up. They did a great job and every single issue I had described to Androw had been fixed. Definitely a reliable mechanic who knows his stuff.
I recently had my car worked on in 2 previous "shops" before coming to horizontal. After having all types of suspension issues and work done by the previous shops, several months later, all I had is a Z that felt unsafe to drive with a banging noise coming from the rear passenger area. After reading the reviews here, i figured I'd give them a try. Listen.. these guys are the TRUTH!!! First off..Andrew had my car test driven and on the lift being looked at within 10 minutes lol I told him the problem area was the rear passenger side..however..he started on the drivers side and methodically went 1 by 1 to each bolt..and found several that were barely tightened..and another 2 that had stripped the nut from not being tight, and was barely hanging on. Then.. he went on to hunt and find the issue i came for, which was similar... no tightened bolt on my strut. I won't say how much he charged me, but let's just say I left with a smile on my face!! And i was out of there in an hr!! Oh, and shoutout to his employees/other workers.. These guys may be young, but they are experienced and wise beyond their years!! They made me feel extremely welcome, and I'll be going back without a doubt!! Androw and crew are the best!!
2nd review - I went back 4/15/23
Androw is awesome! He goes above and beyond every time! I'm not going to any other shop if I can help it. Almost forgot to mention their prices...Reasonable is an understatement. I asked for an estimate before my last visit. After Androw did the work (found & fixed more issues than I came for), he handed me my invoice, and it was cheaper than the estimate! And he did more work than we previously talked about doing! Who does that?!?! For me, meeting Andrew has been a god send. He's going to be in business a long time.
I blew my g35 2004 engine and they swapped the engine and fixed everything and more that I didn’t even know was wrong and all that was done in less than a week. If you need anything done hit them up ASAP. Reliable and trustworthy!
I wish i had known about this shop. I was referred by Maryland Subaru Club and i was impressed more than impressed. I met both owners Andrro and Chris. These guys are #1 and are the best and most nicest guy you can meet. I finally found a show where i can truly trust. With the best workmanship to boot. Thank you Horizontal Motors.
Shouting out to Androw, Chris and the whole crew here at Horizontal Motors. These guys are amazing, on point, friendly professional, honest and did I mention LOW to NO wait time. Sharing the Subaru love, once again thanks guy amazing job, complete engine overhaul and reseal, bringing our baby back to life 219k on dash...
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A KNOWLEDGEABLE MECHANIC WHO WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH, HORIZONTAL MOTORS IS THE PLACE TO GO!
I have a 2004 Subaru WRX with quite a few modifications to the engine and body. I took my car to three different shops that could not figure out the problem it was having one running. Androw the owner was recommended to me by another Subaru owner and I am so grateful for that because he took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issues causing my car to not run right. He kept me updated during the process and when I got my car back it ran better than it has in years. I could not be happier. He is a very nice buisness owner to work with and knows subarus better than ones at the dealer ive taken it too.
These guys are the best around town! Heck even the state! I'm a new owner of BMW 135i and I was super paranoid to get this car fixed and ready for Maryland inspection. I tried calling multiple shops and mechanics throughout the week with no avail. Surprisingly, Horizontal Motors were open on a Saturday where as everybody else was closed. I told them my issues and they even let me pull up the same day for them to check out my car. They found multiple issues straight away and fixed them on the spot. They welcomed me with open arms and told me what I need to do next. After I got my car back, my car felt completely different and it drove so much better. We have a couple more things to fix and I know they will be getting my business again!
They were very honest and upfront of the service work needed on my Porsche GTS. Highly recommend for anyone who cares about their car. They earned my trust for any future services.
Horizontal Motors was incredible to work with . They gave me the best price out of three estimates and their customer service is amazing. The work performed on my car looks beautiful! My air conditioning was also broken but repaired. I highly recommend Horizontal motors especially for body work . Turn around time could not have been any better .
