What clients say about Bell Auto Repair in Lexington Park (MD)
I have never had anything less than a perfect experience at Bell Auto. He has gotten me in on short notice when unexpected problems arose, he does considerate things without charging me like cleaning out around my brakes, and he gives me lots of notice about upcoming needs (ex: will need new brakes in x more oil changes) with quotes. I’ve researched prices elsewhere to compare with his quotes and they are always low, he never takes advantage. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

Most HONEST, reliable mechanic I have worked with. Been using Bell Auto for 5 years now and I will go NOwhere else. Upstanding business. Highly recommend! Reasonable rates.
I had let my normal car maintenance go to the wayside since COVID & knew that it needed all the normal things done (oil change, tune up, fluid check, brakes, etc.) in addition to it running a bit rough 😆. Mr. Bell identified the cause & additional items that needed critical attention.
To say that Mr. Bell surpassed our expectations is an understatement! He went above & beyond to make my car right! His incredible diligence, superior knowledge & patience, thorough explanations (understandable to the layman (me) and the expert (my husband) 😂), & a detailed, honest cost break out that was extremely reasonable & fair has convinced me that I need to look no further.
I will take my vehicles only to his shop for any future maintenance and/or repairs. The tremendously nice touch of cleaning my car, vacuuming & defogging my old headlights was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend James Bell for all your automotive needs. Here's to another 60K miles
🌟🌟 If I could give 20 stars I would! 🌟🌟
From the moment you walk in, it's clear that this place is run by someone who truly cares about their customers and takes great pride in their work. Everything is clean and organized, prices are fair, and the communication is outstanding.
Glad to have this shop in my neighborhood!
Around 3 weeks ago, I had my vehicle inspected here and I wanted to show some love to the service I received here. I definitely will be taking everyone of my vehicles here and I recommend you do the same. I walked out feeling great about my vehicles condition, due to the service that I was provided.
James does amazing work. He's thorough, kind, intelligent, and explains complex issues in a way anyone can comprehend. A true technician who will diagnose and coreect what everyone else gets wrong.
Mr. Bell is by far the best mechanic in the area! Hands down! Very honest and upfront about pricing and what actually needs to be fixed. When i first moved to St. Mary's County 6+ years ago, I tried multiple local mechanics. This man here is the truth! Not only does he fix the specific problem that you brought your vehicle in for, but he goes the extra mile without you asking every single time and checks for other possible issues! Mr. Bell walks you step by step and thoroughly explain everything with visual aids and pictures. You pick up your car not only knowing that it is fixed correctly, but also feeling empowered with knowledge that you didn't have before. Great guy and the turn around time is fast! I trust no one else with my vehicles!
We took our car to Bell Auto for a state inspection. Bell was so much less expensive then others in the area. James is awesome. Professional, knowledgeable and REASONABLY priced. I would not go anywhere else now. So happy we have found a GREAT mechanic!!!!
DO NOT I REPEAT DONT GO TO THESE PEOPLE !!!!!! James charged me $600 to do absolutely nothing to my truck said he fixed it & never did this was a bad recommendation!!!!!!! I’m warning you guys !!!
James is awesome…we brought our granddaughter’s car to be inspected. He is honest showed my husband everything he found. Later, we used him again to inspect granddaughter’s truck. If you want someone knowledgeable and honest this is the place to go! He is fair with his prices as well…highly recommend this business. 5 star all the way…
Super grateful for James today! Car died next door at Tidewater and he came over to jump start my car AND took time from his busy schedule to swap a new battery.
If you're looking for great service, definitely come here. Thanks again!
Brought my mini-van in for a lifter tick it had recently developed. James explained up front what the issue was using parts he had around the shop. He also had an engine diagram printed out to show me. The repair was finished in just over a week, which is impressive considering he doesn't have any help. He even took to the time to show me the damaged parts he'd replaced, as well as point out something I'd done wrong the last time I changed the oil. I'll be going to Bell Auto for all my future maintenance needs.
My buddies at Napa Auto told me to go here for electrical work. Was having problems with the HID headlights on my jeep. The owner was straight forward and honest. Made an appointment came back later that day and he finished putting in my new HID light in less than an hour. He was friendly and honest. I highly recommend this place. Family owned
Update: Brought my Jeep back in to his shop because it wouldn't shift back to 4 wheel High last Monday on the 1st snow storm. The problem was diagnosed and fixed by Friday. And a new starting battery put in. Mr. Bell stayed after hours and waited for me to pick it up so i would have it for the weekend. He's the people's champ
Above and beyond service. highly recommend. Came in for a state inspection and he fixed my tire pressure issue, showed me how to reset my guages and greased my squeaky door at no additional cost. super nice guy, good coffee and knows a ton about cars 🚗. I will be returning 😊
Great service, fair prices, fast repairs with an appointment, best price I found for state inspection, but not a place to just walk in and have something fixed you will need to schedule.
Great 1st time experience at Bell Auto Repai. I met the owner & he got straight to it & was honest on the repair + cost including parts & labor. Timing was great as well, had an appointment & i arrived and was immediately attended. Will be going back as long as im in the area
James at Bell auto repair does nice work and is fair in his pricing. Too many places try to sell you something you don't need. Thanks James for continuing to do good work! Sorry I goofed and hit 4 stars instead of 5. I corrected that!
In my experiences with bell auto repair the work has been great, the prices are fair and he installs quality parts. He also does all the repairs on the company vehicles as well he has always explained all the work and why it needs to be done best shop around
My daughter took her car there for a state inspection as required. He pointed out things and failed ther vehicle because he saw wetness whe she over filled things before like power steering and then wanted to charge her if she wanted a can of break clean and an hour to clean it As inspection to check for leaks to pass. Also said fog lights need new bulbs and quoted 55 dollar bulbs and more time for install. These things sound like the state inspections are getting him rich
James Bell has done work on all our cars for many years. I never hesitate to take my car to him for repairs. The work is excellent and he is very knowledgeable and guarantees all his work! I would recommend him to anyone that needs car repairs, inspections or anything Auto related.
