I found this shop 3 years ago and since, I bring all my cars to them. I turn wrenches on the weekends and I know a significant amount about cars. Other shops before would try to upsell me on things that weren’t necessary. They would recommend things that were outside the scope of the fix. Johnny has been my go to person because he is very knowledgable, always recommends replacing parts that are prone to failure and are easy to replace while performing the fix. More importantly once they fix the problem I haven’t had to come back for the same fix again. Everyone here is friendly, attentive, and just good people over all. I drive from Woodbridge Virginia to this shop because I trust them and their work. Also, shout to Brent for always making people feel welcomed. Give them a try, you won’t regret it.

I brought my 2016 Ram 1500 diesel to Flower Hill Automotive due to an issue with the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter). The dashboard displayed an error message indicating that the DPF was full and could not regenerate. After paying nearly $300 for diagnostics at a local shop, I was told that the DPF and all the exhaust temperature sensors needed to be completely replaced—at a quoted subtotal of over $5,000. Needless to say, I was very upset. Seeking a second opinion—though without much hope—I visited Flower Hill Automotive and spoke with Matt. He reassured me that regeneration failures can sometimes be caused by inconsistent readings from the exhaust temperature sensors, rather than a faulty DPF. He proposed testing the sensors first. Upon testing, he discovered a clear imbalance: two sensors were reading 32°C, while the third showed 45°C. After replacing the faulty sensor, the DPF resumed normal regeneration. The diagnostic process was labor-intensive and took a couple of days, during which Matt called me daily to provide updates. The total cost of the repair—including diagnostics, sensor replacement, and labor—was just a fraction of what the first shop quoted. My truck is now running perfectly. Based on this experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Flower Hill Automotive for any car-related issues.

Made an appointment last week for an MD inspection for our car. I brought the car in for the appointment and they told me they are too busy and cannot see me. This place has lost my business due to this.

I used to live right across from Flower Hill Automotive, but I’ve moved to VA and I still drive all the way to MD for them to work on my car. They are extremely honest; they do good work and I know I can trust them. Especially as someone that does not understand cars, I know and can go there, and they will make sure I’m safe and that my car is getting all the proper care it needs. I’ve had bad experiences before, with mechanics saying that my car was about to catch on fire (when it was just fine), so I just drive to MD because I don’t want to deal with dishonest people. If you are a female/male that is not interested on learning about car mechanics I recommend that you go there, as you won’t have to worry about anything, just drop your car off and have a nice day 😊

The owner Matt is a great man. He's honest, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I needed a new engine and he went to great pains to find it. In addition he made sure he found the best used motor that was available. He kept me informed of the status throughout the whole process. I really appreciate that. His mechanic Jon is top notch! Very through and dedicated to perfection in his work. Everyone was professional and easy to deal with.
