By far one of the best experiences Ive had taking my car to a garage for repairs. They were able to get me in the next morning after I popped a hole in my tire and were able to order the part/replace the tire within 24 hours. They even took time to double check fluid levels and the integrity of lines after I saw fluid leaking from the car. The owner took lots of time, not only to explain the repairs needed but also to educate me about my car. Very thankful to find a good reliable garage that seems to care about its customers!!
I felt so lucky that I can find Paul to work on my car, he is honest, and did a great job, he gives you honest advice and wont try to rip you off like many other mechanics or dealerships nowadays, Ive just relocate to Maryland with my girlfriend and we are not really familiar with the area, I find out Paul online and decided to give him a shot, totally worth it. The price is fair, will definitely bring my car to Paul again
Would not hesitate to recommend Pauls for auto repair. Professional to speak with, thorough review of the repairs I needed and were efficient in doing the repairs. Such a nice experience.
All of the people there are very professional and nice. They charge you only for the necessary work and dont gouge you. Ill be using them for all of my auto issues in the future. They deal with you promptly, professionally, and communicate well about the status as it changes.
I had gotten a flat tire on the way home from work. They were able to put on a new tire the very next day. Since I lived nearby, they dropped me off back home and picked me up when the work was done. Excellent customer service!
I needed regular servicing and also some exhaust component repair and a new tire on a 16-year-old Focus wagon. Pauls has the qualities of a good mechanic: looks and feels trustworthy and skilled (Im a layman), personable and easy to schedule and deal with, reasonably priced. In addition, hes great about sending me photos of all problem areas so Ive seen them before we talk about going ahead with work. Highly recommend.
Pauls runs an excellent shop! I had a unique situation with a hybrid Ford Escape with a dead main battery. He did a diagnostic and told me the code was coming back with replace the main hybrid engine battery. They cost about $5K for a new one and $2-$3K for an aftermarket if you can find it. Paul told me he wanted to see if he could recharge this dead battery and give it a try. If it worked, he would charge me a nominal flat fee. If it didnt, no charge at all. Well, Paul got it charged! The Escape runs well and has had no battery issues since. Paul is a fair and ethical business owner. I would recommend him and the quality his automotive shop provides to his customers!
Friendly, communicative and their prices are fair. They kept me updated on the status of my repair (even included pictures). I wont be going back to the dealer for service again!
I was shopping for a used Toyota from a Baltimore area dealer and looking for a mechanic to do the pre-purchase inspection. Because I dont live nearby and didnt have much time, I needed a quality local mechanic on short notice. Based on his good reviews, I called Paul midday and he said to bring it by that afternoon. About an hour later the car inspection was done (complete with an inspection report with photos and explanations) in time for me to complete the car purchase by the close of business that same day.Paul agreeing to inspect the car that day saved me time, gave me peace of mind and helped me close the deal on a great car for my family.
I thought I had an oil leak in my Ford truck and took it in to Pauls Automotive. It turned out that I didnt have a leak at all. They could have used the incident to create a problem but they were honest. I appreciate that.
Paul was great. He accessed the problem and gave me all my options. My car was ready in a jiff. His garage is neat and tidy. I felt very comfortable there.
Paul is a very friendly guy and by far the most professional mechanic I have been to. The whole process was very transparent and they do a really good job of keeping you updated on their progress and providing detailed explanations of the work theyre doing. Ive been taking my car to Pauls Automotive since I moved to Hampden a few years ago and Ill be using them for as long as I live in the area/theyre in business.
Went back to Paul’s Automotive for service on my car and again experienced awesome service with fair pricing!
I am so glad to find Paul and his crew. I depend on a good mechanic to take care of my car and I am confident I have.
Very satisfied! Fast, thorough and knowledgeable. Addressed the issue that the dealership missed. Will definitely come back.
The worst service ever has kept my car for over a week !!!
I took it for a rattle in the system. They checked it over and discussed with me what needed to be done and what was the priority.
Paul’s recommended by a family member when car wouldn’t start. Performed diagnostics which they shared in layman’s terms. Then repaired in a timely fashion. Easy to drop off & pickup in off hours too. Would definitely use again!
The service has been timely, and done right the first time. Prices seem very fair as well.
Pauls Automotive again did what needed to be done. I will take my vehicle back again.
07/15/21 Still, highly recommended. Excellent, reliable repairs. Excellent customer service.10/10/2020I highly recommend Pauls Auto, for the smallest to largest repairs. Knowledgeable, honest, friendly, reliable. I have a 20 year old car that still runs like new, thanks to Pauls.-------My Review from 8 months ago:Made repairs to an older vehicle where parts are scarce. Reliable, professional, clear expectations, no hidden costs. Honest!!!
Friendly expertise services. Received oil change air filter and wipers at reasonable prices. Thanks guys!
I’ve been taking my car to Paul’s for 15 plus years and each time he has proven to be very reliable, good performance, friendly, and quick. They have preformed multiple diagnostics on any car that I have owned, and will continue to take it to Paul’s Automotive.
My wife and I both had poor but expensive service experiences with our respective dealerships. A friend recommended Paul’s. We were worried if a smaller shop would be familiar enough with our hybrid vehicles (one honda one lexus). Paul’s demeanor and diagnostic process immediately put us at ease. He knows what he’s talking about and takes the time to make sure you know what he’s talking about too. Then receiving the diagnostics link complete with pictures I knew we’d found our new mechanic. Paul has our highest recommendation.
After taking my car to the dealership since I bought it I was skeptical about taking it somewhere else. My husband found Paul for another vehicle and said he seemed honest so, I took it to him because I needed a few services and just couldn’t afford the dealership. I’m very glad to have found Paul. From the beginning I felt reassured by Paul’s professionalism and knowledge. I was very surprised when the next day (I took it in very late so I was not expecting any work to be completed that day) when I received a text with photos of the issues they found. I have never seen that before! Wha5 a terrific way to make people feel confident that they aren’t being taken advantage of!! Thank you so much Paul!
Bought a 2009 f150 at auction. Took it to Paul to have it checked out. He did a great job tune up oil change and fixed electric window drivers sit. Im very happy with his honesty and quality of workmanship
Pauls Automotive was great! Kind, clear, and uses a text service as well so you can get updates even if you cant answer the phone. Very happy with the work and my car is working beautifully now. Thank you!
The service was incredibly fast and after hours pick up and drop off was very smooth. Very professional, great experience, highly recommended.
These are officially my guys. Paul has taken care of my Ford Transit 350 twice now and this is where I will keep coming back to. Good work, fast work and good guys.
Its called Pauls and thats exactly who you deal with...Paul and hes awesome! A+ service...detailed explanation of the repair, text alerts, repair tracker, online pay, after hours pickup...1st rate service all the way! My ride is running beautifully! If I could add more stars I would!!! Thanks again guys!
Paul and his team are real professionals. They communicated with me promptly and throughout the entire process, and provided periodic updates. They got my car in right away and did the work with a quick turnaround. I will absolutely it let be going back to Paul for my future car needs.
I found Paul’s when doing a search for mechanics that work with Cadillacs. I’ve been trying to get my Cadillac fixed for almost a year.... the dealership “fixed” my car 3-4 times this past year costing me too much money and never fixed the problem. And I was tired of the runaround.Paul’s took their time and did a thorough diagnostics and finally fixed the problem. My car sounds and feels so much better. Even better, their communication is amazing! He explained everything to me, fixed what needed fixing and went over a plan for what the car needs in the next 6 months. I found my new spot.
Pauls shop came recommended by another mechanic. They looked over a used car for me before I bought it. His assessment was thorough and informative. He sat down and reviewed photos of each issue he found. After we bought the car, we took it back to his shop for some maintenance. In both cases, he was responsive, timely, and straight-forward. I like that he uses multiple forms of communication, including text and email.
Best shop beyond satisfied after the dealership did me so wrong
Very thorough, professional and ethical! Great service. Highly recommend.
Paul has been so accommodating. I have been able to bring the car in right away, when necessary, and have had no trouble getting appointments at times that work for me. There is no pressure to get work done, and all work that has been done is excellent.
Fast and professional service! Will gladly take my truck back for future repairs.
Pauls always does a thorough and fast job. My last check-up included photos of each step and texts alerts of the progress. I trust them to look into every detail and catch a problem before I find out about it on the road.
Service at Pauls is always excellent. The customer service is great and they are all friendly. Im always satisfied with the quality of work they do as well.
Paul helped me avoid paying for a very expensive repair the car dealership inaccurately told me I needed when I didn’t. Nice to have found an honest & trustworthy mechanic for when I do need one!
Paul and his staff are true professionals. I have been going to Paul for years and recommend that if you decide to keep your car long term after warranty to take it to him. He is thorough, patient, professional, and always explains things in a way you can understand. He will be honest with you about what needs to be done right away and what can wait.He or his staff test drive every car they service even if its just an oil change. Thats how he can stay on top of any possible future issues. For people who say he charged too much, what I can say is hes thorough which means you may pay a little more because hes looking at everything and perhaps suggesting something you didnt originally take it in for. By having it addressed early, you avoid having a more serious problem or breakdown later. Thats worth it to me. I learned this lesson the hard way.Plus, I never have to wait a long time. In every case except one (when he was waiting for parts) I got my car back the same day. So, no its not as convenient as Jiffy Lube (which is not inexpensive by the way), but for the little minor, minor inconvenience of having to drop the car off for the day, its totally totally worth it in the long run.
I went to Pauls Automotive for an oil change & they had me out in under an hour. I have an older car & they found a few other things that needed fixed, but did not pressure me to do so immediately. Instead, they were honest about what they saw, explained everything so that I could understand & didnt push me to schedule an appointment to have everything fixed right away. I would definitely recommend.
This place is great. Needed a quick tire repair and received immediate, professional, and friendly service. Support local!
Paul really helped me out! He squeezed me in and did a great job. Would highly recommend!
For four years Paul has been taking care of my car. After my first experience with Len Stoler Lexus, it was clear I needed to find a dependable and honest company for my automotive maintenance.Paul goes beyond expectations in numerous categories. He always explains what needs to be done with great clarity, and he always, always backs up his companys work with fairness and quality. Whenever an unforeseen situation arises - believe me, cars arent perfect - Paul made sure the problem was addressed quickly and resolved with the utmost fairness.I have tinkered with cars all my life, including rebuilding a 1965 Mustang, and whenever I visit Pauls he takes the time to explain what needs to be done with such thoroughness, I always learn something. He is an expert at using digital resources to show you exactly what is going on. I have observed him giving advice to other customers, and he has always explained their options with their best interests in mind.After my first visit, I researched the replacement parts he used for repairs and found that he only uses top quality products. He has made excellent recommendations on tires, and is quick to admit when you have a better option on any element of your car maintenance needs.I drive a GS300 and it performs like brand new, even after 180,000 miles - Thanks Paul, all the money I save driving the car I love is earning a lot of money in securities.See you soon,Mark
With a really far daily commute that started a year ago, I bought a new car and sidelined the car I’ve used since I first started driving. This car sits a lot, but is in fairly good condition overall and I want to keep it running. When I moved the car to another parking spot one night, the power steering seized up and I noticed power steering fluid all over the road. I was also having some startup issues. I searched around for a new mechanic, as I have had many bad mechanics in Baltimore over the past 7 years living here, and I came across Paul’s Automotive. After talking to Paul for the first time, I could tell he was laid back, detail-oriented, patient, and would probably do good work on the car. I had the car towed to his shop and he called me every step of the way, sent me pictures of the issues, and made sure to explain every issue in depth and give me some time to think about the repair costs. He also made a point to come out and look under the hood with me after the repairs to show me where the fixed parts were located. He also called to follow-up on how the car was doing. I spent more money than I wanted to going in, but the repairs made sense in the context of the cars symptoms and were definitely done carefully and thoughtfully as the car is running much better now. I will definitely go back to Paul the next time my car needs some work and I also recommended him to some of my friends who have had trouble finding a good mechanic in Baltimore.
Pauls automotive services always feel like personal care. The staff is knowledgeable and courteous. Every analysis is thorough and comprehensive and the work on my vehicles is always satisfactory. Their prices are fair and I commend them on excellent communication throughout the experience.
I highly recommend taking your car to Pauls. I had trouble with my battery. He took helped me right away and even took my car out for a drive to try and diagnose a previous problem I was having. I have a family member who takes all their cars to him and wouldnt go anywhere else. If you like great service, honesty and knowledge take your car to Pauls.
I cant say enough good things about Pauls Automotive. I trust them completely with my car. Theyre friendly, organized, reasonably priced, and accommodating to my schedule. They even send images of the repairs that need to be made, and are transparent about which repairs need to be done now and which can wait until next time. Ive been recommending them to all my friends and family.
Weather its our work fleet,or my personal vehicles. no job is to big, or small .Paul is dependable and very responsive .Pro Lawn Plus highly recommends
Great automotive shop! Very friendly and knowledgable. Thanks!
Paul is always super helpful! He has always been honest and straightforward. He will tell you exactly if you need something or if you can do without it for a while. I have even called him to ask a question about what the dealership repair department was telling me.
This was our first visit to Pauls Automotive. They were able to diagnose and fix an electrical problem that other shops could not. We are back on the road and happy with their work.
Knowledgeable and excellent problem solving. Completely transparent and logical pricing, a great online status app explains time-frame and progress. Excellent shop
Honest and trustworthy advice. I believe Paul and his team are fair and willing to explain their recommendations for service. They help me keep an older vehicle on the road by deciding what is a must do and what can wage until later.
I had a chance to spend some time with Paul at a business seminar and he seems genuinely focused on giving his customers the best experience possible. After browsing his website, you can tell he has made a significant investment in both equipment and the training necessary to provide the best service possible. He runs the type of shop Id recommend friends to.
Great service and communication, they installed shocks on my Jeep and they are running great! After some price confusion that’s got answered it was all square away and runs awesome!
I recommend this auto garage! Really convenient to have your car repairs done and the mechanics are customer oriented. Thank you!
The best thing about buying my car off lease is I get to work with Paul again. An honest, hardworking, and very nice guy - with a great team around him.
Paul is very organized and very thorough in his work. Hes very professional and explains the problems and solutions so that I can make an informed decision. Work done in a timely manner.
Paul is an amazing man: he is highly intellligent yet sensible and both wise and humble at the same time. He and his technicians can fix anything. Their prices are fair. It is a pleasure to have him work on the cars we own.
They always provide friendly service, and thorough maintenance and the last time I was there, they changed my oil and rotated my tires in about 30 minutes.
Cheerful, honest, friendly, courteous & kind. Maybe most imptant is that Paul & Co take their very patient time to explain what needs to be done, what was done &/or what still needs to be done. And WHY. w/o that why, it s all pretty worthless, especially to mechanical dullards like me.
Pauls came through again. I had a broken windshield wiper and a dead taillight on my sons car. We needed the car the same day so he could go back to school. Pauls got it done fast and they were very reasonable. Thanks again Paul!
I broke down near Pauls and was towed there for service. They determined the alternator to be the problem and reccomended several other repairs including all new rotors, brake pads, a new belt, rear axle seals, a coolant flush, and brake fluid flush. I checked their pricing against my Nissan dealer, and the alternator / belt replacement was fairly priced, so I had Pauls do the work. I was not interested in the flushes, so I declined. My only concern was the pricing for the brakes & rotors. It would have cost $1500 at Pauls and $450 at Nissan so I bought them my self at Advanced Auto for $250 and will install later this week. I did not think to ask Paul while I was there, but I suspect that he priced a higher end rotor / pad than what I need. Either way, the labor of $550 was too high for that work.The people there were friendly and they got me in and out quickly so I would go there again. Just dont be afraid to check the pricing.
Been using Pauls for years. Always a professional job, honest insights into potential problems and solutions and the best part is, the customer is always given options and not pressured one way or another!
Pauls automotive is amazing. Great diagnostics, fantastic customer service with Pauls personal touch.
Unfortunately my experience with Paul lannons shop and the Paul lannon the owner was short lived. I called to recieve a quote on Parts and service and due to his dislike for my vehicle he reponded abruptly laughing and saying, That my car is the Joke of the mustang world, ill be honsest with yah i dont want to do the work . That was a diffrent kind of discrimination. Short story... that was absolutley a first for me. Definitely Impressed by that.. not in a good way.
Top notch service. We had our car towed overnight and had it fixed the next day.
Extremely fast service, everyone is easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!
Having had Paul take care of my aging 99 Honda CRV for years, it finally gave up the ghost two years ago. I bought a new Prius V in 8/13, and used Bill Kidds for oil changes due to Toyotas two year free service plan. Bill Kidds customer service is HORRIBLE! (Last oil change took 3 1/2 hours!) I will never use them again, and willonly take my car to Pauls Automotive from now on. He is honest, smart as a whip when it comes to cars, and a really nice guy. A truly rare bird in the car repair business!
I love the owner,hes a great guy who knows his stuff
I went there couple of years ago to change the oil. Not where I usually go, but they were close and I needed to take care of it so I went there. They did the oil change, but did not reset something, so I got new warning lights on the panel after I left the shop, in addition, when it started to rain later in the day it turned out that my wipers are not working. When my husband looked at them he found that the screws on them where loosened, and if we didnt know what to look at we would definitely take the car back to the shop to fix them, I think this was what they where hoping for.
Very thorough mechanic
Ive been going to Pauls for 25+ years for my fleet of autos_ 2 Saabs, 2 Toyotas, 3 Mazdas, 3 VWs and 1 Honda. Paul and his crew are the best mechanics Ive known--- honest, reliable, trustworthy, determined to get things right. Paul always offers advise as advise--- never as an ultimatum about which repairs should be done with a car. Theres no browbeating--- only respect for the customer and an instinct that the cars are machines that have their own needs and temperaments.
I have never been more impressed not only with the quality of service, but the sincere approach to treating me as a customer. I will ONLY use Paul and his team for all of my automotive needs.
Have used pauls auto on two occasions for major repairs and I cant be more pleased
Very friendly, knowledgeable, exceeds expatations.
Friendly, efficient, and quick.
A very unprofessional place
Outstanding service
