    Our little Kia Soul has been well taken care of over the years thanks to Fa-Rina!

    Fa-Rina's has the best, most ethical mechanics in Maryland, possibly in the world. As a woman who is clueless about car mechanics and often low on funds to pay for any car repairs, I used to fear having to bring my car in for repair. Then I lucked into finding Fa-Rina's. The first time I brought my car in, I said, "I fear the radiator's busted as my car is overheating, and I'm worried it's going to cost $600 to replace, which is $500 more than I have now." When I came back the next day, he charged me $20, explaining that it was just a simple hose replacement and that the radiator itself was fine. I was stunned by such efficiency and honesty when I wouldn't have known any different. I've been a loyal customer ever since, and just yesterday I was reminded again of how wonderful they are when they replaced my key FOB battery at no charge, just as an over-the-top courtesy. Farina's has changed the way I think of auto repair shops, through years of excellent, professional, speedy, kind, and reliable service. Who would have ever thought I'd use "kind" and "auto repair" in the same sentence? That's how much they've elevated my opinion of the industry. While Tony is greatly missed, Ron, Charles, and every other current staff member are all fantastic. Collectively, they've restored my faith in mechanics and mankind. I would never dream of going anywhere else. With endless gratitude from my family, every car you've ever serviced, including the Kia Soul pictured below, and me, of course.--Stephanie

    Eddie is a highly responsive mechanic who operates with integrity. I took my car to him because I…read moresuspected it had suspension issues (the wheel would shake at high speeds, etc). The day I brought my car to him, it was raining so he suggested we not try top speeds in the rain and asked if I could leave the car with him. The next day he text me immediately to update me on the condition of the car and what needed to be done. One issue was the front tires needed replacing (they don't do tires) so he gave me recommendations on where to get cost effective replacements and advised me on other possible replacements. When I inquired around what could wait vs. immediate needs he was transparent and told me what was a now fix even if it didn't put money in his pocket (like the tires). I'd definitely trust him with any future work. He seems to care more about your safety than just making a buck. Never tried to upsell me on anything and explained each step. Transparent. Ethical. Fair pricing.

    After two other estimates, I found Eddie's to be the fairest price and the best value. He does…read moretruly excellent work & came in on budget and a day ahead of the estimate time. The quality of his work is excellent, the paint matched perfectly. He vacuumed the inside of the car and fixed some loose trim around a window that I was not even aware of. Mr. Eddie seems to love his work and it shows. He is very respectful of disabled people and women and will not take advantage of them at all, in-line so many others in the industry. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

    I brought my 2014 car for tire service, after I realized driving on 495, that the tire was either…read morereally low or flat. The gentleman running the front desk was professionally charismatic and knowledgeable. Without an appointment, he took me right away, within 5 minutes. He put one of his mechanics on it and within another 10 minutes, they found the nail and patched it up. 20 minutes later, I was back on road, after paying the $20 fee, heading to work. I know at other places, it would have taken "all-day" to be seen without an appointment. I really appreciated their care and timely response, and costs I paid for the service. I felt like a valued customer and will return for other services in the future.

    If I could give O stars I would. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE.. I originally brought my vehicle in…read morefor a faulty catalytic converter that was put on by someone else, I let them order a new catalytic converter & change it so I could have "the warranty" BIG MISTAKE. Since then I've brought my vehicle back 4 times. Fast forward to 11/21 I had my vehicle TOWED in because the check engine light started to flash (as shown in video) I originally dealt with Steven, that's whom I dealt with the whole time since bringing my car there, days went by, then I called twice since I didn't hear any updates as to what was going on, allegedly Steven was out sick so I spoke with James who would tell me what he thinks I wanna hear & give me the run around, weeks went by I called AGAIN, spoke with Steven, this time he told me "he doesn't know anything about the vehicle James is dealing with it & he's not in at the moment" at this point I'm started to get pissed, so I decided to pop up there 12/18 since there has been poor communication on what is going on with the vehicle. When I get there Steven tells me they still don't know why the car is misfiring or the check engine light is blinking. I had my car TOWED in at 163,538 miles(as pictured in video), when I got the car back 12/18 it was 163,615(as pictured) with NO GAS IN THE CAR & that is 77 MILES OVER. I understand that a mechanic had to drive the car around to figure out what's going on but 77 MILES IS COMPLETELY INSANE & UNACCEPTABLE!!! At this point I'm starting to think these are a bunch of basement mechanics they are only good for oil changes, brakes & rotors (the basic stuff) that's just driving people vehicles around & not really fixing anything. The worst experience ever I should've known having to go back 3x's for the same issue. Don't waste your time.
