I have had to use Purnell twice and when you are having one of the worst days they really take care of you. They had to repair my Acura 4 years ago and it’s perfect. Debbie quickly helped me with getting a replacement headlight due to a warning light. Martin helped with my Lexus this week. I just bought it 4 months ago and unfortunately someone backed into me. He explained everything in detail and kept me informed during the repair. He made sure it looks like never even happened. Anytime you call everyone is polite and helpful. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I really appreciate their amazing work and service and would refer them to everyone I know.

I was involved in an accident with a deer and from the moment I declared a shop to work with, Phil was attentive and communicated clearly through the whole process. They were able to pick up my vehicle from my house, assisted with aquiring a rental, and kept me updated all along. After vehicle was returned to me, Phil kept an open line of communication to make sure everything met my satisfaction. All in all a great experience for a crappy situation. Also an additional shoutout to the tow truck operator, Damion, as he was amazing interacting with my 4yo daughter at pick up. He took the time to actually talk to her and made her day. Purnells definitely staffs some great people and stand behind their work. Highly recommended.

Great shop. Great staff. Martin was friendly and explained everything that I needed to know. Very thorough with my service and got my car fixed at a time that was convenient for me. Debbie and the office staff were great with getting my rental taken care of and just made the entire process seamless.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service & Craftmanship!!!

Our family has trusted Purnell Body Shop in Elkton, MD for years, and they've never let us down. As a locally owned, family-run business, they consistently deliver top-notch auto body repair service with unmatched professionalism and care.

Their attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship are truly impressive. Even after my mom moved out of state, she still chooses to drive over 42 miles just to have her vehicle repaired at Purnell- that's how much we trust them!

From timely service to flawless repairs, every experience has been smooth and satisfying. Thank you, for your continued excellence and dedication to your customers. You've earned our loyalty for life!

I had a pretty bad accident where my front axle broke and there was body and lots of internal damage. I was terrified that my car would never drive the same. Pernell body shop did an amazing job fixing it. They kept in contact with me the entire time. they took care of getting my rental car time extended as needed and I was able to leave the rental car there and they took care of getting it back to enterprise. Was truly an amazing experience. The shop was almost 2 hours from my house so I was hesitating at first to use them but I am so glad I did and I will use them in the future if needed for sure. Was well worth the drive! I’m including the before and after photos of my car!
