Chesapeake Service Center in Elkton is the best. I've been going there for almost (Or over) 10 years. Highly recommend. In less than an hour, they were able to get to my location after I broke down in the middle of the road. Same day they told me what was wrong and had already fixed it for the best price ever. I love them!!!

-Jane C.
Excellent Service, Everyone is nice, just a great honest repair shop! No need to question what you are being told!

-Melissa K.
Broke down on 95 this morning and these guys rescued my son and I in a timely and professional manner. Jack was a class act and engaged my son and his questions like a seasoned Grandpa. ..Don't hesitate to call these guys if you are unfortunate enough to get stuck on the side of the road!

-Greg L.
I have taken 3 cars and a popup camper here and they are quick, honest and trust worthy. They will tell you what needs to done and what would be beneficial as well without over stuffing. I will go there every time I need car work.

-Matthew L.
We use Chesapeake to deliver finished trucks to our customers. We have used many different companies but Chesapeake is by far the most reliable and easy to deal with. They are a company that you can depend on, which is hard to find these days.

Car broke down about 15 miles away from their shop, we had been stuck in traffic for 3-4 hours when my car died on the road. Jack picked us up and towed the car back to the shop. Keep in mind this a Saturday so many things close. He was very nice, and the mechanic diagnosing the car very smart, had it figured out in a few minutes. However, their parts guy was closed for the day so Jack very kindly drove me to the local Auto Zone to buy the part I needed. I was back on the road in an hour or so. The best place to take your car hands down. This is the best mechanic shop I've ever been to.

Always do a great job at prices I can afford.

-Mary Lou
Highly recommend these guys. Car broke down on 95 and was not from the area. These guys towed us back to their place and we're very friendly. Had us back on the road in an hour. Very trustworthy and have good rates as well. Wish I had a mechanic like these guys back home.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
