Auto Repair in Fruitland, MD

“Jeff did a great job on my car and was very reasonably priced. He got me in the day after I called him and he only had my car for the day. I highly recommend him”

“Autobahn is the only service center I trust to work on my Volvo. They clearly state in writing the repairs to be undertaken and the cost, and, just as importantly, they know what they’re doing. Finding someone on the Lower Eastern Shore who is qualified to work on Volvos has been a challenge. Autobahn met and exceeded all our expectations!”

“I called Auto Medic for tow service, and it was everything you would hope that the service would be: professional, courteous, and generous with their ideas and help with regard to my car problem. I cannot recommend them highly enough: you won't be disappointed.”

“Great service and friendly, too! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Was able to take a look at my truck and a picture of the topper and provide exactly what I needed! Highly recommended!”

“When my beautiful, brilliant and ever patient wife Rebecca lost her life to brain cancer on November 16, 2021 (miss you baby) we owned four motor vehicles, all in top running condition (she scheduled all maintenance and repair, along with everything else important in our life), I started my first and only business, “Charlie’s Free Cars”.

We were blessed with several young adult nephews, nieces and grandchildren, several of whom had jobs requiring travel. That inventory was, I thought, the only “generational wealth” they could probably ever inherit)

Our motto was “If you’re kin, you’re in!”. It was a terrible idea.

I had no idea at the time how quickly that fleet of pristine motorcars could meet untimely ends, but I soon found out.

Undaunted, I stuck to the notion of that with time, they would understand the idea of tangible generational wealth in the form of reliable automobiles with internal combustion engines but without computer monitors in the dashboard.

I’m still convinced that’s a good idea, and hoping they’ll believe it someday, too. A few do, most would prefer something more modern.

However, I digress. Suffice to say that in four years I spent an astonishing amount of money on auto repairs. It was only when I took the latest acquisition to Gary Pusey’s Quality Cars for inspection that I saw some hope.

Mr. Pusey’s main business, now operated by his sons, other family members and close friends, is a Maryland State Inspection Station. That is a most excellent combination.

If you’re buying a car and get a chance to test drive it before you purchase it, you’d be wise to make an appointment to have it inspected before you sign anything. I

t usually takes about an hour and costs $120. You might get the dealer to make the repairs before you buy, who knows? Some leverage is better than none in the used car business.

But again, I digress. Sorry.

The point is, had I known I could have all those vehicles (up to eight now, I think, in the total fleet, from other inheritances) inspected and repaired prior to delivery to young and inexperienced drivers, I might have had fewer repairs in the long run. You live, you learn.

But now, before any vehicle is delivered to a young member of the tribe, it will be fully Maryland inspected and thus more likely to survive the slings and arrows of the outrageous misfortune of being driven by a novice driver.

(You would think that before being sold from a dealership, all cars would be Maryland inspected, but alas, that is not usually the case).

You can be sure that all future vehicles that come through Charlie’s Free Cars (I shudder every time I say or write those words) will be delivered fully inspected and repaired, something you can attempt to impart to your beloved offspring before they take ownership. (Good luck with that!)

Had I done so from the beginning, my retirement account would, I believe, be much more, shall we say, robust than the pitifully sad balance it is today.

Ah well, generational wealth doesn’t grow on trees, but it can get your children and grandchildren to work, and that’s something they will (hopefully) understand and perhaps appreciate, even without a computer on the dashboard. (Good luck with that part).”

“Fast, reliable customer service and quality. I needed a tow for two flats and not only they towed my car but assisted me with recommendations on where to replace my tires for fair price. The following morning Brent from Morgan's towing reached out to me and had everything done on my vehicle!! Very professional and quality service! Cannot thank these guys enough! HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!”

“We had got a flat early in the morning. They had my oddball tire size and for an unbelievable price too! So I took an uber to the shop with my tire and the owner took care of it very quickly. And he even offered a ride back to my truck. I say you won’t get the same quality of service from any dealership, and I’d know after working for one for 5+ years. I’d give 100/5 stars if I could”

“If you're looking for a battery and more, don't go to these other shops. I was straight forward and knew what I needed. I asked if they had the battery I was looking for and they had 2 choices and exactly the prices their competitors said they had too. But the competitors claimed they didn't have the one I wanted that fit my budget for now. They all kept trying to show me $100 styles. The man from Walmart made a remark that you can try Pasco's to have them test it, but they are just gonna wanna sell you on the more expensive battery. Ha, not true, both styles they had were only $45 and $75, well under Walmarts and Autozones prices,both near Fruitland. Thank you to the 2 gentleman that helped me! Your kindness,courtesy and knowledgeable help means so much! Stay blessed! I pray your kindness is repaid 10 fold! Sincerely, happy holiday shopper who knows where she's getting her next vehicle batteries from!”
