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!!!

Initially I came in for an oil change and didn't think too much about getting any service done…read more Phil checked out my breaks along with some other things and told me about the issues I could run into and suggested some services that would need to be done. He wasn't pushy about it and said it's one of those things that should be done either now or eventually down the road if I want to keep my Grand Cherokee for the long haul. Instead of doing the oil change at that time, he told me to bring it back in a few days to do the service and he'd do the oil change then. I appreciate Phil's honesty and that he was able to have my car done the same done. He's upfront with the costs and even gave me a military discount. I'll gladly be going back to him in the future.

I had no idea what to expect but I just wanted good service for a decent price. My expectations were far exceeded. It is an amazing place to get your car fixed for a fantastic price. The employees at the front desk are phenominal and the mechanics are super fast and talented. I feel like I am part of a family there. Regardless of how long it has been since I have called, they always remember me and welcome my business. It is a smaller location on liberty road and it is a bit if a fast turn into the parking lot but the business itself is not hard to find at all. It is super easy to schedule an appointment online, by phone, or in person. There is a shuttle service if you need to go while your car is being worked on. I prefer to hang around and chat with the staff. Either way, I highly recommend this business and will continue to go myself!

Their integrity really stands out--they've always given me straightforward, fair pricing and honest assessments about what actually needs to be done. While other shops have tried to push unnecessary replacements on parts that still had plenty of life left, Neubauer Auto tells it like it is. What impressed me even more was when I reached out with a trailer question that had nothing to do with their services. Rather than brushing me off, they took the time to help me find a good vendor who could meet my needs. That kind of helpfulness says everything about the people running this business.

In spite of the pecuniary wealth of Clarksville, the area is generally destitute when it comes to…read moreautomotive knowledge. The River Hill Sunoco preys on this ignorance. Late one night, my girlfriend got a flat tire. As I have done dozens, if not hundreds, of times in my life, I removed the old wheel/tire and put on the spare using nothing more than a scissors jack and lug wrench. As I replaced the lug nuts, I threaded them and tightened by hand before using the lug wrench for one last fastening. As it turned out, there was a hole in the sidewall of the old tire, so Sunoco ordered a new tire that was expected to arrive in a few days. In order for us to commute to Baltimore on the spare, "John" the technician tightened up the lug nuts. "John" did so with an air impact wrench (also known as an air hammer, pneumatic impact wrench, etc). A few days later, we took the car back for Sunoco to install the new tire. This time, the Sunoco technician had difficulty removing one of the lug nuts, and one of the studs snapped. After replacing the tire, Sunoco capped the broken stud and offered to replace it at a cost of approximately $100. Through an apparent miscommunication, Sunoco never ordered the new stud, so we took the car elsewhere for repair. At the other garage, my mechanic had to use a breaker bar to remove two of the lug nuts because Sunoco had over-tightened them (see attached photo showing metal shavings from the other over-tightened lug nuts next to the broken stud). Due to the numerous damaged studs, we replaced the entire wheel hub assembly. Naturally, this cost more and caused major inconvenience as the car could not be driven for several days. An objective analysis of the facts leads inescapably to the conclusion that Sunoco over-tightened the lug nuts, causing the catastrophic failure (breaking) of one stud and the effective destruction of two others. When the first stud snapped, Sunoco did not mention any issue with any of the other lugs or studs. The vehicle was entirely within the control of Sunoco, and it was Sunoco that once again tightened the lugs after they replaced the tire. The thing speaks for itself: only Sunoco could have caused the damage to the second and third studs, and the circumstances strongly suggest Sunoco's fault for the first. Through its manager, Adam, Sunoco has enumerated several excuses to absolve itself. First, Sunoco alleged that I "cross-threaded" the lug nuts when I put on the spare. I reiterate that I hand-tightened the lug nuts, and this excuse does not account for the destruction of the second and third studs, which happened after Sunoco replaced the tire. When confronted with the issue of the additional lug nuts' destruction, Sunoco then blamed me for not making the lug nuts tight enough after the tire change and alleged the wheel was "like a loose tooth" when it arrived at Sunoco (which, of course, undercuts its "cross-threaded" theory). Admittedly, I did not have a torque wrench, but to think the lug nuts had come loose on the short drive to Sunoco strains credulity. If it were true, why then did Sunoco not note damage to the other studs at that point? Oddly, Adam denied knowledge of any technician named "John" employed at Sunoco, though he admitted a technician with a similar sounding name does work there (other social media posts about the River Hill Sunoco, e.g. Anglie's List, mention an employee named "John."). Just so there is no confusion, "John" is the technician who has family in the south of France, though I'm sure Adam knew exactly who I was referencing.

In order to get to the office and waiting room you have to climb up a hill of wobbly wooden steps. when I went back to check I went to the back of the building where the shop is, my car was not ready. I went to the edge of the garage to get the status and was told I have to go to the front office which meant climbing the hill again. That is a physical problem for me. The owner came to the shop and was very nasty to me. He told me to get out of the building and that he would not do any work on my car ever. What a very unprofessional way to run a business. He won't be seeing me again.
