Family owned and operated, HRM Automotive provides premier car care. HRM offers more than 35 years of automotive experience.

Tim O'Connell, an ASE Certified Master Technician, opened the doors to HRM Automotive in 1991. At that time, the company's name stood for Hooes Road Mobil, a tribute to the business that launched his career. Today, it stands for the company's motto: "Honest Reliable Mechanics".

A resident of the area for more than 40 years, Tim is actively involved in the community and takes great pride in helping area residents receive quality car care. In fact, Tim's children attended the same schools as he did as a child. That level of community focus and local pride sets HRM apart from other automotive repair facilities.

An award-winning shop, HRM Automotive also received consistently high scores in Washington CheckBook. The company's honest approach and excellent service have earned them the distinction of being the highest rated auto repair facility in Fairfax County. It's easy to see why the professionals at HRM Automotive have built a highly satisfied customer base, largely from referrals and word of mouth.

    The good folks at HRM Automotive genuinely live up to their ethos of honesty and reliability, with excellent pricing and customer service. I mentioned that another shop had recommended that I address a suspension issue and asked if they could take a look. They examined it and told me there wasn't actually any problem—when they easily could have said otherwise to make a sale. Ron took care of me and was friendly, professional, and very personable. Thank you!

    From initially contacting the business to completing my vehicle’s service, I had a fantastic experience. Tim and Ron were extremely helpful, personable, and assisted me with throughout the process and I felt informed. They saved me quite a bit of money with my Volvo compared to what I’ve gone through at a dealership and they were able to address a multitude of codes that had popped up in the computer. I’ve struggled to find a decent mechanic who is willing to deal with a Volvo. This is definitely now my new go to! Highly recommend.

    Having experienced the deceptive and scam-like tactics of dealership, I was looking for an honest and trustworthy mechanic who I could develop a relationship with to service our cars. Went through a number of mechanics near my locale and found HRM Automotive with a lot of nice reviews. Fair enough I thought I’ll give them a try. I found Ron and Lloyd to be straight-up honest and trustworthy gentlemen in my interactions with them. I like to learn about my cars and do my own research but sometimes I have a lot of questions, Ron and Lloyd were happy to answer all my questions and sometimes (when it’s possible to do so) also show me the state of the vehicle up close which not only clarifies my understanding of the vehicle but also inspires confidence in the work being done on my vehicles. They are also accommodative to their customers needs when it is possible to do so. To me the most important thing I was looking for in a mechanic I wanted to keep a long lasting relationship with was honesty, trust and expertise, and I am happy to say I found all of these rare traits in HRM Automotive.

    We’ve been taking our cars to HRM for over 15 years and have had nothing but excellent service. Recently I took our 2019 Hyundai to the dealer for a possible warranty issue. Turned out the issue was not covered and the dealer’s estimate was $810. I took it to HRM where they performed the work - with a genuine Hyundai part - for $230. I have all routine maintenance performed at HRM even for cars under warranty. I trust them completely.

    This is the only shop I will take my vehicle to, the entire team is so friendly and helpful. They live up their name as they are truly Honest and Reliable! Tim and Ron run the shop as people who really care about their customers. John is an excellent technician (I'm sure they all are here) but I call him Dr. John because he always helps sort out what is going on with my 12 year old Land Rover. Keeps it running in tip top shape even with 175,000 miles on it and counting! Take your vehicle here. You won't regret it.
