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.
