My experience with Spike's Auto in Emmitsburg can be best described as disappointing due to poor customer support and mechanical service. I strongly recommend against entrusting them with servicing your car.I initially went to Spikes, on strong suggestions from friends, to take my car there for an oil and filter change. Initially, after the oil change, the car was fine. However, weeks later my car broke down due to the incorrect installation of the oil filter. I believe it is important to acknowledge that they installed an incorrect filter, which you would think they would notice as an incorrect filter would not fit properly.This led to the dispersal of oil within the vehicle's internal components, thereby causing damage to the surrounding parts. I had to get my car towed and had to pay for external expenses to get a correct oil and filter change from an authorized dealer. Afterwards, I went back to the shop to request reimbursement for the service and payment for the damages from the improper install. I was hoping they would stand behind their mistake. After multiple conversations with Noah (one of their employees), they placed the responsibility on their third party filter provider, and stated that they won't reimburse the out-of-pocket expenses that I had to incur to repair the damages. They chose to not take responsibility for the incorrect installation during a service I trusted them to perform. I would have thought they would take accountability for their mistake, regardless of cause. Therefore, I strongly suggest avoiding Spike's Auto and trusting them with a mechanical service.Service: Oil change

Always friendly and helpful. I have sent over 15 people there and they have all been so impressed with their professionalism. Danny runs a first class organization and keeps my fleet of vehicles on the road.

Sold me a van for $2500. Only drive it twice before it broke down on the side of the highway. Called numerous times to have them repair the broken van they sold me and was never able to get a hold of the owner, Danny. Ended up selling van due to it sitting my driveway broke down to a scrap yard for $300. I will never do business with Danny or spikes ever again.

Not sure what that Renee person is talking about but I assure you they are a fantastic shop. They ve worked on my truck many times. Transmissions, breaks, front end work and many other issues taken care of timely and efficiently. My wife s suburban is currently in there as of today for a transmission. I have zero worries about how long they ll have it or when they ll get it done. The trans will be replaced and back on the road in a reasonable time. Don t hesitate to use them.

I got a flat tire and was only in the area for the day but had a long drive home. I showed up as soon as they opened and they were able to squeeze me in that day. Noah was really nice and helpful!Service: TiresService: Tires

Danny, Herby and Noah run a top notch organization. They replaced the brake pads on my I-Roc Z series. Their prices were fair and they treated me like family. Even my dog Mr. Ruff Ruff loves them! 5 stars !Service: Auto maintenanceService: Auto maintenance

Mr. Danny and his crew are a pleasure to work with. My 1998 6.0l Tahoe has never run better. Thank goodness for his mechanic Herbie, he discovered rotten brake lines and a rotten fuel line.

These reviews must be friends. We were stuck in Thurmont when a belt and a pull both broke. We could not find a place that could take care of us. We live close to Emmitsburg so we called Spike's they said no problem they could have it done. We paid to have it towed there. My husband knew what was wrong explained it and had even brought them the part. Long story, short... they did not get it done but called and said more was wrong and they needed more parts. We went there and brought them the parts and found they had not even looked at it! Liars! They want to keep it yet another day , and when we asked to speak to the mechanic he had gone to lunch at 11, we were told he never returned from lunch. These are not good Hometown mechanics. They lied and disappeared from the job. My husband took his tools down there and fixed the problem in their parking lot! They are a joke!Service: Engine repair

The very best. This place provides excellent service. Danny the owner is very personable and knowledge. Danny does not push fixes until you absolutely need the work. Spike's used to be only in one location, Mt Airy, where Danny previously worked, but not any longer. Four years ago, when he was in Mt Airy, he replaced an engine for me and it still works today without any issues. Danny really knows his automobiles.Services: Transmission, Carburetor cleaning, Electrical repair, Heating system repair, Air & cabin filter replacement, A/C system repair, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Tire rotations, Engine repair, Wheel alignment, Brakes, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

These guys were awesome! My husband and I were in from out of state when, on our way to Pa, hauling a 38' fifth wheel camper, we found an issue with one of the tires on our truck. We put the spare on to make it to PA. Then, my hubby found these guys who do warranty work for the brand of tire we have, they replaced the tire we dropped off, and even put the new tire on our truck, put the spare in the bed of the truck then recommended a great little place for us to grab some lunch. You guys were amazing and we appreciate that you saw out of state plates and didn't rake us over the coals. Service like this is hard to find. We thank you, so much, for your quick service and awesome lunch recommendation too!!!

I can t say enough good things about this Company. I have never had more faith in an auto-shop, that s for sure. These guys can do it all, everything from tires, brakes and the usual engine maintenance. They are quick, reliable, friendly and professional, and I recommend their shop to anyone that s looking for a competent shop.

Visiting Gettysburg and had a wheel bearing fail. Stopped in and he was able to get to it and had us back on the road in only a few hours. Loaned us his car so we could go occupy ourselves for the few hours. Paid less than I expected, even with an oil change.

Brand new to the area and I am so glad somone recommend these guys. Old school service with brand new technology. My kids honda civic ac went out and every one was telling her it's a dealer fix only and it would be 500 bucks just to look at it. These guys fixed it for under 300 he could have gouged me for a lot more and I was willing to pay it but he didn't and all my vehicles will go to them for service from now on.

So grateful to have a shop I can trust wholeheartedly! Danny and his crew serviced my 2015 Dodge Promaster yesterday and it's running like the day I bought it. Tune up, tires, front rotars and brake pads plus fresh oil. Can't thank you guys enough for your attention to detail and amazing service. David Costigan with Cornerstone Floor Care LLC.
