New to MD, had to get my car inspected before heading to the MVA. They were able to take me same day, for 1/2 the price of other local establishments. The front desk agent was so kind and helpful. The detailed report shows they really go through everything! Glad I passed and would recommend to anyone in need of that service.

The best car repair place I’ve been to, the owners are a sweet couple that take such good care of you!! I went in for them to replace the car key fob battery and they did it right away and were so nice about it. Won’t get service like this anywhere else.

Great service but waiting room smells like gear oil 🤢🤢

Ok this is the 5th car I am taking to Tools in Hands for inspection. Mr TIM has always been honest straightforward mechanic. I cannot imagine taking my car elsewhere. Inspection is exactly what to expect and if he passed you then know you have a good car. Very friendly service and they will always find ways to accommodate you.

Really impressed with the level of service and especially the price. They found two small things with my inspection and called me to explain them and offered to let me fix them myself. I know my way around a car enough and could easily see that I wasn’t being jerked around. They even went above and beyond with one of the minor repairs to make my day. Would highly recommend.

Trustworthy business and friendly staff. Thank you for your dedication to your customers 😜🤠😜🤠😜🤠

They have always done a great job for me thats why I keep going back!

My experience with Tool in Hand was frustrating. They misdiagnosed a steering rack leak and failed the Maryland safety inspection of my newly purchased car. Thankfully I had another mechanic double check and the steering rack was fine, but Tool in Hands mistake still wasted many hours and the cost of another mechanics diagnosis, as well as the cost of reinspection (elsewhere). But it would have cost me over $1000 (in addition to my time and the lost vehicle time) if I trusted them and replaced the whole steering rack as they recommended. Id recommend going somewhere else.Edited to add: there was, and is, no leak from the steering rack. I dont know why Tool in Hand would have said that, but it seems to me that the two most likely explanations are incompetence or dishonesty.

They are the best in town because they are honest. Honesty is a trait that is very hard to find. I can recommend Tim and Carol wholeheartedly.

Friendly, fast and very trustworthy. They are able to accommodate any need or question you might have about your car and the service they can provide.The best mechanic in Frederick, easily.

These guys are great. My wife happened on them by accident and theyve been our main mechanics since. This is the place to go for honest work and fair prices.

I purchases your product through Amazon and several weeks went by without the product being received in spite of a shipping notification. There never wad a tracking number issued. I eventually canceled the item after a conversation with Amazon customer support.

Top-notch professional service & care for your car! What an amazing place. Went in early this morning as I had purchased a pre-owned vehicle and was wondering if I had made a good purchase decision. As the car needed a Maryland inspection I brought it to Tool In Hand after reading all of the good reviews. Needless to say - the service was very professional and punctual and they answered all of my questions about my car - yep, it was a good decision to buy it! The cost for the inspection was also very reasonably priced. Nice!

Extremely friendly and fast service, I had brought my last car here for an inspection as well. Local business with some great service.

Great service! Nice people🙂

Great, friendly helpful staff. Highly recommend!!

Excellent, professional humans (not dealership robots) and fair.

Expert car care at a reasonable price. We drive an hour to go to them because we trust them

Tim and his team are by far the best and most honest mechanics around. We have taken all our family vehicles to Tool in Hand and referred all family and friends. Tim has saved me thousands of dollars over the years. He provides the best quote and delivers amazing service. Truly the nicest people to deal with. I highly recommend tool in hand to anyone looking for a lifelong mechanic!!

Great service at a fair price. Friendly staff

Nice and honest people. I came here for a state inspection about a year ago and have come back for maintenance a few times since. They are always transparent about the work they are doing and the cost.

Great service at affordable prices.

They won a customer for life. My mechanic was in Gaithersburg unfortunately he died 2 monnths. I was in search of a Honest Mechanic. I just stopped by this store to see how much it is to fix my Dashboard Light.Instead of Charging me, $118.50 Labor. The mechanic showed the honesty by showing me how the light dimmed off from the dashboard.I went to 2 other places they told me Over $150 expense.Tool in Hands you are awesome. I am so sorry I dont remember the name bur I know he was Eating a Donut, 😊

I had my vehicle Maryland inspected here. When you make appointment here they are fantastic on getting your vehicle back in the shop and started right away. My vehicle had two manor things that needed to be taking care of before it would pass. I took care of the items myself. Then it had to of course go back to them for re inspection once again they didnt waste any time getting the vehicle back there and started to re inspect it. The receptionist on both appointment were up beat and cheerful. 5 Stars all the way guys and gals.

Family run, reasonable, and honest. Checks all the boxes for me.

Always great service, fair an honest prices. Super nice folks.

Friendly staff from the moment I walk in the door. Trustworthy, fair and reasonable pricing. I am always treated like family and am having my elderly fathers car serviced there today-wouldnt trust anyone else. Keep up the good work!

Very honest, quick and fair.Believe me, you will not find better than this place.Ive been going to This place since a year ago. They have always been very friendly, informative, and patient. I would recommend them to anyone. They are Awesome!

Brought my vehicle here for state inspection and had zero issues. They had it done quickly in the timeframe stated and the price was right. Excellent service and if I have any issues going forward Im sure Ill come back.

Excellent job on service appointment! Started a little before appointment time and was completed very fast. I have complete faith with work performed and will return without question. Thanks

This is a great business and legitimate! I would recommend them to everybody!!!! 🙏🏼❤️💯😉

I have been working with Tim and all for years. I am so happy to disprove that an honest mechanic is an oxymoron. These guys are trustworthy and have fantastic service and rates. Check them out but stay away from their neighboring auto store.

Fair and honest period. If you are lookibg for the real deal, these guys are it. They dont push unnecessary fixes and their prices are better than anyone. Most importantly you feel safe because they are honest. They are your mechanic friend

I have dealt with this facility on a couple different occasions. I have an extensive background being a retired automotive repair technician for Dealerships as well as Independent shops. I can tell you That this repair shop is the prime example of what all other repair shops should be. They are honest, reliable and trustworthy. Being an old school tech it is very hard to allow someone else under the hood of my vehicle. ToolInHand in Frederick is the only place I have found for a long time.

They were very upfront about their prices and they plug the hole in my tire very quickly.

I had previously gotten a state safety inspection at another location and wanted a second opinion on repairs. They insisted that I actually go in the shop and look at what needed to be repaired, which was the same as the previous inspection, however there were three additional and blatantly obvious things needing fixed the other shop had missed. Total for all repairs with cost of inspection was $600 less than the steading rack replacement at the other shop. Inspection was very quick and very thorough. Repairs were reasonable with the costs explained beforehand.

Tim is as honest as it can get.. i have been working with him for several years and have referred lots of people to him no one has come away with a bad experience. Not too many people like him around!!

Great services offered. Mr Tim and team do amazing job. Satisfy with their services

Went here for a state inspection. They need some things that I thought was silly (steering wheel cover, fabric in ceiling hanging slightly), as well as legit things like a power steering hose leak and a wheel bearing. They were able to get me in within 2 days. I was very thankful as my tags expired then too 😬 They offered for me to do any work myself to save money, which was nice. Their prices were also really reasonable. Because they did some work on my car, they did NOT charge a reinspection fee and sent my pass form to the MVA very quickly. I went to the MVA same day and they already had it!

Extremely kind and efficient. Nice to meet a mechanic that is actually truthful and transparent. Came in for an inspection and its $20 less than everywhere else in town.

Ive been coming here for now about a year and I cant think of another place to take even my oil change now. Always work with the owner Tim whos a great grandpa charm character. And his wife sometimes covers the front desk. Feels very family oriented. But you can email, call, leave a voice mail and Tim will get back to you literally asap. You leave a voicemail at 8pm, the next day I get a call back around 7:45 which is earlier than they even open (8am)! Hes great. Remembers me and my husband. Tries to remember your car. Offers to do just the labor work and you can buy the parts yourself. Which I love! (Hard to find)The only thing is their weird hours. Theyre only open from 8-5 M-F. Which if you work an average job (I work from 9-5:30) I have only enough time to drop my car off but not to pick up. Thats ok!! See Tim is totally fine keeping your car and offers to set an arrangement for you to pick your car up after hours. Ask him about how you can do that, its easier than you might think. If you end up leaving it overnight though he will charge you I think $20. Thats just really so you dont abandon it he says lol. Its a small place with a big place in my heart. Truly. Dont let theseedy whole in the wall vibe distract you. I recommend them to all my friends!

Very good people very good prices very honest .. i will come again and again as long as i live in Frederick.

Tim and Derrick are great!!! They are honest and very fair with their prices!!They will let you know whats wrong with your car and fix it right away!!Will be forever loyal to Tool in Hand!!Thank you!

Excellent service at affordable prices.

They are doing good job but not honest about price. They have hidden cost and make reason is state of md. They Supposed to tell customerBeginning about time and mileage’s laws and than customer adjust their time go back and fixed their problem with the vehicle.

Mechanics are straight forward and fair. They always look for the most economical solution and Tim is knowledgeable and experienced.

Excellent place for any n all repairs needed. Great service!!! Great employees.

I have been a customer here for years. They are reasonably priced, do a great job, and most importantly very honest.

Dependable auto service, excellent customer service.

Great Customer Service! Wonderful Staff.

Tim is great. He honest and fair and fixes it right the first time.

Went there on recommendation of mechanic neighbor, and was very impressed. Great service, friendly, reasonable price etc.

Ive been there a few times, and I know for a fact that Tim and his crew could be trusted - they know what theyre doing.

Fixed my daughters lower control arm bushing in UNDER 20 minutes! Amazing customer service going on here

No need to look elsewhere for a great honest mechanic. You just found one!

Always able to fix any problem Ive had with my car. Done fast, correct and at a fair price.

Excellent work with fair prices.

Best most honest mechanic

Tried to rip me off, and I came here because supposedly they were honest people got the same thing done elsewhere for a fraction of the price

Definitely recommend it!
