But later even after covid lifted he stopped letting me be in the waiting area. The last oil change as I was driving had the oil filter fell out and all the engine oil spilled onto the streets. I brought the car back and told him the engine is really loud. It sounds like metal grinding. Doc took a look and filled it up with engine oil and installed the wrong oil filter and told me I would be good for another 6 months at least. I listened to the engine and it didn't sound right. I brought it to the dealership that then diagnosed it as a failed engine block. Metal was inside the engine and it needed replacement. In addition, the second oil filter wasn't even the correct filter for my car and was two turns from falling out. Oil was already leaking from it. The bottom of my car was coated in oil, and it could have caught on fire. Fortunately it didnt, and Doc owned up to his mistakes and his business insurance covered the repair. However, that was another hurdle to over come as it got delayed for months. It is very difficult to find a good car shop. Bless you if you have one.

Good prices, and reliable on-time service. I've heard good things about Eakle's from family and friends, and I decided to try them on my oil-change and tire rotation which were both due (Apr 2026). I was able to get an appointment about a week out. (Sometimes it's a little longer to get one.) I dropped off my car around 9am, and after a 5min stop in their little waiting room, a fellow quickly got my info and got me out the door. Around 11:30am, they called to offer an engine-filter change and a cabin-filter change, which i agreed to. They were all done by 1:15pm. The price was great! About half what my dealer charges for a dealer-coupon-rate! And while I really didnt expect to notice the change, my car literally hummed on the drive home! Smooth driving and smooth accelerating. And the cabin airflow was definitely quieter and noticeably less musty. Thanks, Eakle's, for looking at the air filters! I'm quite pleased with their work, their attention to detail, their fair prices, their efficient service, and their nice business-like attitude. It's great to find a reliable shop. Remember: The "Eak" in Eakles is pronounced like the "e" in "Excellent! (I came up with that myself :-)

I have an older Lexus and it seemed that one of the sensors in the bumper got knocked out and needed to be repositioned and secured since there was no longer a bracket under the bumper. I told him that an aftermarket product or a quick fix would be fine and that I was not looking to restore it to factory condition but just be operational. 45 minutes later, he called me to tell me my car was ready. Tim had used simple tools to secure the sensor in place and ensured that it worked and performed as it should. It was so nice that he listened to me and found a very inexpensive solution to my problem. I expect that I will be using Eakle's for all of our future car repair needs. Highly recommend!!!

George is realistic about the dealer recommend services, and gave me inputs based on his own experience in order to help me make an informed decision. Another thing that impressed me was, Terry, one of the mechanics, pointed out a rust issue which wasn't a service they performed. When I inquired about suggestions of places where I could get this service performed, George gave me an honest opinion on who he would trust with his own vehicle. These guys are always friendly and have proven to be trustworthy. I've had the opportunity to have a one on one chat with each of the team members and, they all struck me as guys working to earn their living honestly, who take pride in the type of work they produce. It's not easy finding a mechanic you can really trust. I recommend them, and will keep bringing my business here for as long as I'm in the area.

My experience with Sykesville Car Service, SCS, has been 5 star every time I have been there. My…read moremost recent repair was to correct a power steering leak. After 2 bottles of stop leak, I took my 2005 Ford Ranger in for diagnosis and repair. Joe and his crew of experienced and skilled mechanics stayed on this task through repairing the entire power steering lines and testing the repairs using 3 new pumps (none worked) and reinstalling each pump at least once. By best practice this, this required them to consult an older resource who recommended a new rack and pinion component. This proved to be the critical insight to make a durable fix. What is remarkable is that they did not give up despite 10+ days of having the truck there. This is perseverance, professionalism and great service. It's a bonus that they are in Sykesville close enough to walk to. I recommend Sykesville Car Service without reservation and will be using them for my future car/truck repairs.

He initially did body work to my car, which I was VERY happy with, but just days later, my splash shield light came on, then my check engine. I am not necessarily saying they caused this (can't confirm they didn't either, as they were the only ones who worked on my car). So I took my car back shortly after, and Eddie said he did the diagnostics for free. He then charged me for an oil change (that I didn't need at the time). I emailed Eddie asking for my diagnostic results, which he said he would get to me, but he never did. I had to take my car somewhere else, and it turned out to be a simple sensor issue that they promptly fixed, and I haven't had an issue since.

TLDR; Eddie was highly unprofessional during this process, ignoring my concerns and making light of…read morethe situation. Screenshots attached. I needed a compressor replaced and needed it quickly as I'm active duty Army and was on leave the next week to drive my family down to South Carolina. Despite multiple promises over 4 days that my car would be ready in time, it was not. I had to spend a lot of money on a rental vehicle and my car now has problems it didn't have before. On 10 July I called CACC to say my A/C was blowing hot air. Eddie said to head over and I'd be seen right away. The address on Yelp was incorrect (it was their old address 15 mins away). When I made it to the right building they acted like it was weird to get a walk in, they didn't know how much an estimate costs and seemed not to know what to do with me. I should've left then and I'll regret not doing so forever. I said I needed to be seen immediately because I'm going out of town soon, so if they didn't have time I would need to go somewhere else. This is the first time they lied to me. The receptionist kept telling me the mechanics couldn't figure out what was wrong. This went on for two hours. Finally she says I need a new compressor (it wasn't getting any power)- that is the very first thing you would look at for a broken A/C so that tells me they were lying to me that they were looking at it just to keep me in the shop. She promises they can get the part the next morning and have it ready for me by late 11 July. After some back and forth she offered to let me take one of their vehicles for the day, but when I got inside it was filled with trash, loose change, and the dash light was on. I gave the keys back right away. Every day for the next 4 days they told me it would be ready the next day. Continued lies about OTHER issues with the vehicle, but none of them were well-explained even when I asked for specifics. Eddie would say vague things, "there's a hose issue; there's blockages; it's dirty" but when I asked exactly what was being done he would say not to worry and blow my questions off. I am fully confident they did not touch my car and were lying to keep pushing off working on it. For the 6 days they had my car it equaled 4.5 hours of labor. No other work is listed except for replacing the compressor and refrigerant. I pick the car up on 15 July. A/C is slow but turns on. By the next day it died completely again. Eddie says I can't take it to his shop because it's conveniently under construction. I'm sent to a different mechanic who tells me the compressor is completely dead and he sees no other work having been done. I tell Eddie this and do not get an answer until I push him for a resolution. I am forced to bring my car back and have to shell out the money for a rental car to drive the 8 hours down to South Carolina and back. I sent Eddie the cost of the rental car but he did not try to compensate. Eddie blames whatever he got the part from for being a dud. I see on Google Reviews that a prior employee accused him of using bad parts to cut costs, I'd say this supports that accusation. When I show up to drop my car off the second time, directly before picking up a rental and driving 8 hours (now losing a day off my trip because Eddie ignored me the day before), the office is locked. They knew when I was coming. Luckily a mechanic came out another door and took my keys when I explained. I picked my car up for the second time on 22 July. Eddie is not there. Receptionist Debbie says the mechanics mentioned something about a loose wiring harness but she drove it around for a while and it "seems fine". I said you can't tell me there's a problem maybe but you don't know what it is and you didn't notice anything as a non-mechanic. She says the wiring harness was why it didn't work last time- I explained to her I know that isn't true because the OTHER mechanic I went to couldn't even get it to accept power while grounded, so there's another lie. Lo and behold, my car now has wiring issues every time I turn it on, with the Lane Keeping System malfunctioning at start up. I absolutely refuse to bring my car back to this shop and will be paying even more to have someone else fix it. I don't lie, I don't need to, so the owner can say what he wants to this review but it only reinforces the unprofessional from this business.
