Hampden Auto Care

Jan 17, 2025

I have always been wary of auto places as a single woman who self admittedly doesn’t “do” cars. But when I came in and got my car looked at, Sam showed me every piece that needed work, explained why, and showed me where the parts were worn down. The price and time estimate were also exact. This made me feel very securely that I was not being ripped off. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs auto care in the area!

Truly exceeded expectations. They educated me on the issue and concerns and did the job faster than we all anticipated. Sam and the boys are going to be my go-to for repair needs.

If you are a woman alone DO NOT COME HERE. I am not a baltimore native, I moved here alone for school. I had a problem with my car overheating and it breaking down on me. I took it here and after two days they said that I had an issue with my head gasket. That my coolant and oil was mixing and leaking. They said I would need a whole new engine and that it’ll be ~$6,000+. Me not really knowing about cars I was willing to pay, because I need my car to commute, but my father told me to go and get a second opinion. When I came to pick up my car they seemed irritated and said I wouldn’t be able to go far, which I was able to drive 10 mins back home. I knew what they were saying wasn’t true because yes my car did have a leak but it was leaking a clear liquid (coolant), not oil, which is like dark brown. Anyways I took it to another mechanic and they said nothing about the head gasket at all!!

Hampden Auto Care is the sweetest local auto care shop. I highly recommend them. They care about the customer and give a fair price. They are the kindest folks and are very easy to talk to. They have really helped me so much with my car. Thank you so much!

Very reliable and do great work

Not bad, the prices are a little high but not overtly so. I wouldn't hesitate going back but I would call around to proce compare first. Edit: I think they may have ripped me off. The problem they “fixed” is back.

Sam the owner repaired my veh on time and reasonable. Will be back.

These guys were very professional and super friendly! Incredibly fast service; the whole process only took about a half hour. Felt very comfortable talking with them about my car and I’ll definitely be back for routine maintenance

I doubt their honesty

They had my car for over a month, and I had to bring it back in three times for the issue which they ultimately charged $1K to not even fix (check engine light).

Great place for everything car related

Professional and quick service, honest feedback and suggestions, and upfront pricing. We did a price check on our car needs, and this location was the most reasonable. They did not rip us off or try to convince us that we needed more than we actually needed like other locations nearby. They provided detailed information on the condition of the car and why. For example, he explained that Jiffy Lube gave us the cheapest and low-quality oil and filter for our car. In other places, they don’t tell you anything and if you ask how was it, they say “uh. It went good”. We appreciate that they provided us transparency with our car, a rare find!

These guys are awesome! Even working under covid restrictions which severely limited the ability to have all of their techs in the shop at one time. They got my front end aligned and my new tires on and had my truck ready to go before the time they promised. Great staff and owner!

Very impressed over all

Feb 07, 2020

Hampden auto offered me some grade A service. I approached them with a specific budget and they worked hard to offer the most they could, while considering what my truck needed and ensured the most with what I had to work with. I have recommended this shop and will continue to anyone with car trouble. The service is friendly and reliable and as a person who knows my way around an autombile I can confidently say I trust this crew to provide honest diagnosis and service.

I've only been once, but I will be back. They're within walking distance of my house and offer friendly and trusted service.

Thank you for doing a thorough and professional oil change without the need for an appointment, and at the last minute on a Saturday. Much appreciated! I will definitely be back. I felt my car was in good hands and that they actually cared about my car and doing things right. Plus, they could not have been nicer. I am a happy customer and excited that they are so close and convenient in Hampden.

Great, honest, and hard working people. I called them today, desperately trying to find somewhere to patch my tire, and they weren't able to answer at first so I hung up without leaving a message. They cared to call back anyway and ask how they could help. I was able to get my tire fixed the same day and they also let me know about some other things that were good and could be improved about the status of my car. Thanks guys!
