Clark Auto has been in business since 1970, when founder Mike Clark, who grew up in Baltimore City near the old Memorial Stadium, went into business for himself after a career selling tires to wholesalers. By 1978 the business had entered the retail market, and after operating additional locations that were sold in the 1990s, it focused on the original Harford Road location in the Hamilton/Parkville area. Many customers have stayed for decades, some dating back to the 1970s. Paul Crum joined in 2004, advanced to Lead Tech and then Manager, and became a business partner in 2015; in 2023 he took over as Mike retired.

The shop sits on Harford Road in the Hamilton neighborhood, steps from the Hamilton Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library and about a tenth of a mile from the Harbel Community Organization and the DaVita Harford Road Dialysis Center. The Baltimore City Health Department is roughly two tenths of a mile away.

Clark Auto Repair holds a 4.40 rating from customer reviews. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:30 pm, with night drop-off available.

For Baltimore drivers who need a Maryland State Inspection or a brake and suspension repair, Clark Auto Repair has served the Hamilton and Parkville area from the same Harford Road address for more than five decades.
