“Been a lifelong customer, I am 78. I haven't went anywhere else in the last 35+ years. TOP quality work, great customer service and always more than reasonable prices. They have the experience and knowledge to work on most any vehicle. Great people.”
“Good afternoon everyone! The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. They quickly resolved all the issues and delivered all the parts and installed them the next day. I wish Master Lukos good health and a long life, and prosperity to the service! Brosko the dog🐕 is a wonderful boy.”
“Valerie goes above and beyond to help. Car broke down leaking coolant on Friday and Monday she had me scheduled. Of course it was my water pump and it was a very labor intense job, needless to say Tuesday it was ready. I'm very please with the service I get there.”
“We were visiting from out of town when, of course, the alternator on my partner’s car started acting up mid-trip. Total curveball.
We managed to buy the part ourselves and called Pifer’s based on a local recommendation, and they did not disappoint. Even though they were just a few hours from closing, they got us in the same day, were upfront about the labor cost, and had the car fixed and ready to go in under two hours.
The shop is super clean, family-owned, and the team couldn’t have been more friendly or approachable. They made us feel right at home, which is not something I expected to say about a last-minute car repair on vacation.
If we lived closer, Pifer’s would definitely be our go-to shop. Highly recommend them to any locals or fellow travelers looking for quick, honest, quality work.”
“AMAZING! Blew a flat tire and called him on a Saturday. Garage wasn’t open but he drive down to meet us anyways. Randy took the tire off, found the leak, plugged it, and sent us on our way. Craziest part is he wouldn’t let us pay. Even took the money we tried to give him and put it back in our car. Special bonus, told us the town of Accident’s name history and gave us some local tips. Such a great man who said he just wanted to pay it forward. Thank you Randy!!!!!!!!”
“They were amazing. I needed my truck moved to Rapid Auto and they were there in no time and had it taken away. Also their rates won't break the bank. I definitely recommend this company if you're ever in need.”
“Absolutely the best experience! I appreciate Lisa and the team beyond! Made this process so easy and quick! I LOVE my new vehicle, im beyond grateful ???????”
“Deer Park Automotive was able to fix the heat in my truck after I had taken it to a shop in LaVale for the same issue twice!! Deer Park had heat in my vehicle the next day at a very fair price. Thank you all so very much! I will definitely bring my vehicles back when I need work done in the future!”
“Our fuel pump went out in our Cadillac Escalade at the end of our vacation, and this dealership took great care of us. I called Saturday morning at 8, and by 10 I was in service getting the new pump installed. John was fantastic to work with. We're so grateful they're open on Saturdays and got us back on the road that fast. Without them, the trip home would have been a nightmare. Thank you all.”
“EMS wouldn’t come
Triple AAA wouldn’t come
Buddy’s was there in an hour ready to help. Oakland’s premier towing service ALWAYS ready to get you out of a ditch”
“Our car's battery died while vacationing at Deep Creek and we were unable to change it ourselves. This shop was able to fit us in and help us out right away. They were professional and helpful and got us back on our way!”
“Traveled to Deep Creek area from Indiana on questionable tires,was not going to drive home on them. Found Glotfelty on line, highly rated. Took car in, awesome people,great price. I don't think I could have found tires at this price at home. Simply put If you don't go here, shame on you. Can't say enough good about them. (Veterans discount also) AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME.”
“So very thankful for this auto center! Experienced some unexpected car trouble while on 219 this past Sunday and THANKFULLY Oakland Auto Care Center was open and willing to help. Dave knew immediately what was wrong and even though my repair was maybe outside of their regular services, they had no problem getting my car all fixed up. I will definitely be going back! Thank you Dave and team!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there were a 6-star option, Martin's Auto Parts would earn it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Martin's Auto Parts, 1076 Pysell Crosscut Rd in Oakland, Maryland, is not just a local parts store—it's a legend in the tri-state area. I've been dealing with them since before I was even legally allowed to drive, wrenching on my first car with greasy hands and a dream. Back then, I was a kid learning the ropes—today, I’m still a loyal customer because they’ve never let me down.
This is a family-run shop that treats you like one of their own. The knowledge behind the counter is deeper than any parts database—these folks know their stuff. They’ve helped me source hard-to-find parts, get the right tools for the job, and even offered advice that saved me time and money more than once.
Most recently, I picked up a Dodge Challenger that didn’t come with the factory spare tire option (because apparently car companies think air compressors and magic will solve everything). One quick call to Martin’s and bam—they had me fixed up with the perfect setup, and at a price that made me double-check the receipt to make sure they hadn’t forgotten to charge me for something.
Fast service. Fair prices. Real people. That’s the Martin’s way. Whether you’re a seasoned gearhead or just trying to replace a battery, this is the place to go. No chain store can touch the quality of service and expertise these folks provide.
Martin’s isn’t just the best in Oakland—it’s the gold standard in the tri-state region. Accept no substitutes.”
“If you are in the market for a Jeep or Dodge Ram Auto land is the place to go. Our Salesman Andy was just the best and Chad wow!! The people there are so good to deal with and we were very happy with our car. Don’t hesitate go see for yourself?”
“Had them out to replace 3 windows and it was such an easy process! The guys that did the initial measuring and then the ones that did the installation were all quick, accurate and professional! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any type of glass!”
“We had car trouble while visiting Deep Creek and were completely stuck, being from out of town. Garrett Automotive squeezed us in, fixed the issue quickly, and treated us with such kindness. Their pricing was fair, and they truly saved our trip. We can’t thank them enough.”
“Moved here from Ohio. Was really big on personal experience and they hit the mark. Just like my old place in ohio they make you feel welcome and have no problem getting you in and out and prices can't be best anywhere else. They also just extended their hours until 5:30 to help with those who get out later. I will definitely be back! Thank you all.”
“Bobby is an amazing mechanic. He was quick, attentive, and able to diagnose our car’s problem right away to ensure we were safe to leave for our road trip. He is so friendly and his shop is pristine. If you run into car trouble while visiting Deep creek he is your guy!”
