Horrible!! They took 30k to paint my 1967 Chevelle and help in the restoration - My life savings and lifelong dream, just recovering from cancer! I disassembled and then reassembled for them. The car paint is peeling and reacting; the emblems on each of the car are off - one emblem is 3 inches higher than the other. None of the body panels line up. The right side of the body sits on the frame, they destroyed the original hood, and welded emblem holes shut and then tried to re-drill them out and left a gaping hole under the emblem. I had them put new doors on and when they gutted the old ones and built the new ones, they put the old wing window seals back, when I had provided new ones that were opened and out of the bag when I got the car back. Car was towed back with no body bolts - car could have come off of the truck while being towed back to me, this has been a year ago and I still cannot get them to fix their MESS.. The whole car is ruined, was better and worth more before they started. The owner laughed at me when I asked for my money back. All that cost was only for paint and the labor. I handed it to them on a platter and got it back in a mess! Seeking legal action now!!! What a disaster, he took advantage! What’s worse is that I had even more problems pointed out to me from another shop who was installing the exhaust. So many problems from this shop and not enough room to write about them. And they laugh at me, have not tried to come get the car or even inspect the issues since August 2013!!! DO NOT USE THIS SHOP!! They will take advantage and ruin your dreams. And continually ask for more money while they have the vehicle, for other costs.

Farina's has the best, most ethical mechanics in Maryland, possibly in the world. As a woman who is clueless about car mechanics and often low on funds to pay for any car repairs, I used to fear having to bring my car in for repair. Then I lucked into finding Farina's. The first time I brought my car in, I said, "I fear the radiator's busted as my car is overheating, and I'm worried it's going to cost a lot to replace." When I came back the next day, he charged me $20, explaining that it was just a simple hose replacement and that the radiator itself did not need replacement. I was stunned by such efficiency and honesty when I wouldn't have known any different. I've been a loyal customer ever since, and just yesterday I was reminded again of how wonderful they are when they replaced my key FOB battery for free. Farina's has changed the way I think of auto repair shops, through years of excellent, professional, speedy, and reliable service. What's more, they've restored my faith in mankind. I would never dream of going anywhere else.
