I bought my car in 2002 and have had it serviced many times at Hillmuth Automotive. After my latest visit in May 2022 to fix the air-conditioning, the car is still running perfectly. I have met people who have been skeptical and dismissive when told the cost of car maintenance, and I suppose they imagine that the repairmen are just trying to drum up business. Over the years I have come to trust the people at Hillmuth in Clarksville, because I doubt I could have kept my car going as long as I have without their help. As the daughter of an auto mechanic (now deceased), I appreciate their hard work.

These guys takes the time to talk to you about your car. They will explain the work that needs to be done if you become a regular customer. They will help you prioritize the work that needs to be done from the most urgent to the least urgent. Recommended!

My elderly mom is (able to drive) attached to her 2006 Ford Taurus. Trusting Terry and Mike to service this vehicle back to good health is the BEST experience I've had since moving to Maryland! Services: Brakes, Brake service & repair

Had to have an MSI done for a vehicle we purchased out of state. I called and they said they could complete it that day. Dropped the car off, and it was done in a short few hours. I would highly recommend this location for any service. Mike was extremely friendly and helpful. This is my new place for all of my vehicles. Wish I could give them 10 stars!
