Tommy and Ryan were fantastic. I brought in my civic that needed extensive break work as a result of owner neglect on my part (whoops). They got it running again for me and even helped with some other maintenance I've been meaning to get done. The best part was Tommy explained everything they did in detail so I could understand the work.
I would recommend anyone with a Honda give Barnhill Automotive a visit. They have a customer for life from me!
This place is not what everyone claims it to be. Called multiple times about bring my car in but was unable to get a hold of the guy that does the scheduling. Once I did get ahold of him and explained my situation with my car. Tommy states I WOULD RATHER NOT WORK ON YOUR CAR WE ONLY HANDLE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. They refused to work on my accord, but your supposed to be a Honda specialist. The owner truly sucks how can you legitimately chase get $100/hr and refuse a big job. This shop is a joke!
Have dealt with automotive repair businesses for nearly 50 years . . . 10 years' experience here, and very pleased. Knowledgeable and honest --- the two most important qualities I look for in a business. Their preventative maintenance will help save you far more money in the future. They will give you an idea not only of what may be needed, but how high a priority it is, and what timeline should be taken into consideration if you're not able to immediately have the work done. You can trust Tommy and Ryan's judgement and skill (good guys, also!).
Tommy and Ryan were the best they were both very professional. My Honda needed a lot of work done to it and they did the work at a very good price and had it all finished when they said it would be done. Anyone who has a Honda vehicle needs to have their work done here. I will be a customer for as long as I own my Honda's
Owner Tommy and Ryan are wonderful. Tommy explains everything in detail so
I can understand what needs to be done. Tommy's shop is the only place I have taken my Honda to have work done. Price are reasonable and fair. I would highly recommend this auto shop for any Honda owners. Many of my co-workers also use Barnhill Automotive! You can't go wrong with Tommy try him and you will see.
Barnhill is an excellent automotive shop. Tommy and his staff are dedicated to making you well informed regarding services that your vehicle needs as well as aiding you in prioritizing which services are the most urgent. The mechanics do excellent work and follow up with you regarding any recommendations for future needs. I highly recommend this shop to others.
Tommy and Ryan have taken excellent care of our vehicles for many years. I’m always treated kindly and with respect, issues are explained to whatever degree I request, and work only begins once I’ve approved both the work and the cost. They take my time seriously, and I never wait longer than anticipated without explanation. The highest compliment I think I can pay is this: I greatly preferred a Toyota the last time we purchased a vehicle, but bought the Honda version instead so I could continue getting our vehicle serviced with Barnhill Automotive. I recommend them highly and without hesitation. They are honest, hardworking people who will take excellent care of your vehicle.
Barnhill Automotive was recommended to me by another mechanic that i trusted with my cars over the last few years bc he said they specialize in Honda care & repair & are very honest people. This is the first Honda ive owned. I had several repairs expertly done by Barnhill Automotive & I can always count on quality care at very reasonable prices. I would recommend them to anyone.
Great Service! Great People! Very knowledgeable about Honda! Came in because my check engin light had came on, although they were busy they still fit me in and provided excellent service! Now my baby is back running better than before! Tommy is very honest about what they do! Thanks for Great Service!
This company is the definition of "Southern Hospitality". I arrived in Columbia, SC to visit from Latrobe, PA only to have my Honda Civic making terrible noises! I was totally panicked as it sounded so terrible and I was far from home and my usual mechanic. My brother took me to Barnhill and they fit me in despite their very busy schedule. They quickly got back to me with my car's diagnosis and were able to work on it (which I so appreciate). They were kind, honest, and very reasonable. I was provided with peace of mind and able to enjoy my visit with my brother and get my car back in time to return PA. Thank you to Tommy and Ryan at Barnhill Automotive for being such and awesome and honest crew! I wish you could work on my Honda all the time! If you have a Honda or Acura and wish to be treated like family go to Barnhill Automotive!
Tommy is a great honest smart mechanic and knows everything that could go wrong with a Honda vehicle and how to fix it. He works with your budget and cares about you and your vehicle. I was in the market for a used accord and he recommended the best year to get based on his experience. Also, my wife's van needed some critical work and he made adjustments to his schedule to get the work done to work with our tight schedule. Go visit him with your Honda needs!
Amazingly, Honda Cars of Columbia referred me to Tommy years ago when they did not have time to service my Honda. Since then, I have had all of my Honda service done exclusively by Tommy and his folks. At this point, my family is on our 3rd Honda and Tommy kept the first two ticking for quite a long time. Everyone that I have referred to Tommy has never left him as their "go to" mechanic. Absolutely impeccable and very honest which is a rare quality. And very fair price wise.
If you own a Honda vehicle anywhere in the Columbia, SC metro area (and especially if you can leave your vehicle with him for a day or two), you need to have Tommy service your vehicle. You will NOT regret the decision.
