Went for a Maryland inspection on a newly purchased used vehicle. They got the job done, but if you’re looking for service with a smile go somewhere else.
I would like to say that it's true when they say don't judge a book by its cover. Overly Auto repair looks one way but they are magnificent Ebony and Ivory dynamic duo mechanics, master mechanics at that shop. They not trying to rip you off. Please go and get your auto repair work done, you will not be disappointed.
Tim is the best mechanic in the whole DMV area. Fixed the control arms and battery issue in my car at a fraction of the cost that the Mercedes service center would have charged. Will return to him for all work in the future that my car needs. Honest, extremely fair prices, and work you can trust!
Man big shout out to Tim life saver I had 3 other “mechanics” look at my truck and tell me it was the starter all 3 so 4 th person tell me it’s a starter I go buy a starter pay for labor no start I walked over to overlea autos and explain my situation I’m defeated at this point and Tim says let me take a look at it in a.

Recently took my vehicle to Overlea Auto service after my check engine light came on, and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had with a mechanic. I strongly advise others not to trust the people working here.
At first, the mechanic assured me he could fix the problem. However, less than half a block after leaving, the check engine light came back on. When I called, he asked me to return, only to admit he had “forgotten” to reconnect a part. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but that was a mistake. His behavior quickly turned rude, arrogant, unprofessional, and even misogynistic.
After reconnecting the part, he claimed the issue was resolved, but within minutes of driving, the light came back on again. When I returned the next business day, I was suddenly told there was a “different problem.” I also asked for a receipt for the parts I had paid for, but instead of being transparent, he became defensive and told me it was “none of my business” where he purchased the parts.
This shop is dishonest, unprofessional, and disrespectful — especially toward women. I cannot stress enough: stay far away from Overlea Auto Repair Shop if you value honesty, professionalism, and proper vehicle service.
If you need your vehicle inspection. Please don’t go here, especially if you’re female. Finds somewhere else. The owner’s attitude and he will put you through stress not to pass your car and get you to do unnecessary repairs at his shop. I took my vehicle back to a dealer and literally nothing was wrong with it aside just changing the 2 tires which they mentioned, still had a lot of life in it. However, since I needed my vehicle report. I just had to replaced it. Mentioned other bunch of things which I just replaced even though they were working just fine. The cost was twice lower than the quote he gave me. Even when I came back, his communication was soo poor acting like he’s doing me a favour. I paid for this service. He couldn’t even communicate how I will get my report, Until I asked. Please don’t go here. It’s just too much stress and you don’t need that.
We were experiencing a bunch of problems with our 2017 Lincoln MKC from rough shifting, rough idle, and low performance. Dropped the keys off to Pete and he found the problem was the Transmission , Water Pump, and other parts, belts, Etc. He replaced the transmission and other worn parts that were needed for a very fair price and she drives like new! My wife is so happy, she loves this car! Thanks Pete! Our forever mechanic!
The owner obviously hates his job/life and gets a kick out of gatekeeping, failing you for false issues. Was going to type out the full chapter book of details of the entire ordeal they put me through to pass inspection, but they are not worth the energy at all. Summary, they misdiagnosed issues which cost me over $1500 to fix. Not to mention hard plates and registration fees afterwards. These guys just enjoy hustling people and forcing you to struggle to pass. Wish I was exaggerating. 0 stars
The owner's professionalism is something to be had but I have to say they did repair my vehicle and did a good job at it I would definitely recommend them just have to keep your composure when speaking with the owner
Tim is the most trustworthy mechanic I and my wife have ever dealt with. Always great service and fair prices.There is a reason his service center lot is always full.
He went behind 2 other shops and fixed the issue that they failed to repair. Our family trusts this shop! Although they don’t give military discounts on labor, their prices are fair for sure. This is our go to shop! Give them a try - you won’t be disappointed. Sometimes they will work you in the same day without an appointment; but there are no guarantees they will be able to do so!
Don't go here if you need a Lyft or Uber inspection. I finished my inspection repairs and after he completed the recheck, I asked for the inspection report. He said they do it all electronically now. I told him uber needs the report. He then said he would email it to me, after rolling his eyes and sighing deeply. I waited an hour and received the inspection receipt, which neither uber or lyft accepted. I called him and told him the receipt wasn't enough and that I need the report. He said that he sent me all he had and that they don't do it like that anymore. Long story short, I ended up having to go to the state police to get my report. Total waste of time when he could have just printed one out. Impatient and unprofessional.
I took my BMW here because check engine light came on and car went I limp mode. Car was under warranty and this auto shop is where the dealer sent their cars.. I was nervous because it's small and I saw a lit cars sitting around. Long story short. Tim had the car fixed in no time. I took it in at 10am..I gota call Aron 4pm.. he explained wat it was he had to replace..some coul..but ALL IS WELL. Highly recommend 👌
Tim is an awesome guy and business owner! Overlea Auto is a great place to bring your vehicle for repairs! Tim has been servicing our Ice cream truck and other vehicles for over 3 years and the experience has always been great and professional! Overlea Auto offers great pricing! I highly recommend Overlea Auto for all of your automotive repairs!
I called to see about getting rocker arms and lifters replaced in a 2004 Ford F150 4.6Th e man answer the phone told me he did not think that they had rocker arms kind of Ludacris.i would not let put air in my tire for sure since they do not know their engines better than that
Stopped in to get brake pads installed. They took it into the shop within minutes, then only took about 45-50 minutes to get done! The cost was extremely reasonable! Tim has now become my go-to mechanic for all future repairs and services! Thanks, Tim!
Had an inspection done here a few years ago and didn’t feel they were very honest. That suspicion grew when I also noticed many negative reviews aren’t showing, which seems fishy to me. You’ll notice they have 35 reviews but somehow only 26 positive reviews and 1 negative review (which makes them look like their worst fault is hanging up the phone when it’s too loud) are showing. I’m not sure if that’s coincidental or not, but when combined with my less than satisfactory experience, I have chosen to continue my search for a new auto shop.
Edit in response to owner: I am not seeking to ruin anyone’s reputation and apologize if that’s how it sounds. Since you can see my reviews you’ll notice that a majority of them are 4 and 5 star reviews as I seek to boost business for companies when I can, especially small businesses. I was simply sharing my negative experience for others to consider in the sea of 5 star reviews you have. I actually held off on the negative review for a long time and only posted it after a conversation I had with someone else who shared about their experience at your shop and I realized it wasn’t just me and maybe I should share it anyway for others to consider. I was a one time customer, so I don’t think it’s a big loss in business, as it appears you have many long time customers that love you guys. 😊 Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Took my car for MVA inspection, good and fast service; very helpful and friendly, ask for Tim. My wife's car had service a couple of months ago. Will keep servicing our cars there. Very satisfied.
Got new brakes installed on my truck. Did a fantastic job. Actually found out that my brake had seized up on one side that I did not know about and they fixed that. Great service and honest mechanic.
Very nice guys that will explain the state of your parts and their recommendations clearly with quick service. You may need to wave them down from in the garage for help at the desk and the lot is pretty packed but they've been great for me for general maintenance.
Needed my car state inspected on somewhat short notice. Was able to drop my car off and come back later. Needed parts replaced to pass inspection. Parts were there and work was done same day. Excellent quality work. Excellent service. Thank you, Tim.
Tim does great work on my car and he’s always very honest and fair. I’ve taken my car to this shop several times since I moved to this area and I’m very happy with my experiences. Best shop in the area.
Tim is personable & professional. Prices are reasonable & fair. Tim is a great mechanic that gets the job done. He knows what he is doing & if he can't he will guide you in the direction you need to go. Tim is a great mechanic.
Overlea Auto Service is a great shop. Had MD state inspections done there and they do a great job of going through the car thoroughly and pointing out any issues they may have a concern about. Tim is a great guy and is honest about his work. Great rate also. Would recommend!
I called them on a Saturday morning and asked if they installed customer parts. They said yes so I took it in and they had it done by around 10am! I had rear brake rotors/pads put on along with a oil change. I supplied all the parts and they just did the labor. I was happy with how fast they were able to do it and the price seemed right. I will probably use them again in the future.
