“I've been coming here for inspection and maintenance for years. This is definitely one of the best shops around. It's almost always pretty busy so it's best to call ahead to schedule appointment. There's no dedicated parking lot (like most shops in Philly), but there's plenty of street parking nearby when dropping off the vehicle. They always explain if there's any fixes needed and get your approval before doing any work. They never try to push any unnecessary services or charge any surprise fees. A++”
“I have been going here for about 6 years now. Matt is great took care of my inspection and fixed my radio. I can’t recommend this place enough. Always great communication and easy going.”
“I been coming here for over six years.. I was recommended and I too recommend. All the employees are nice! The rates are reasonable , even better when they work with you. Great place for your car!”
“AWESOME CLIENT SERVICE SKILLS. I appreciate Mr. Phil's state-of- the-art tools used to inform his clients throughout the repair process - actual pictures with detailed descriptions, this is priceless. Also, the methods he takes (i.e. continuing education learning) cements why he lives up to being a Master Mechanic & Specialist in this industry.”
“First time coming here today, got a oil change was very friendly and professional. Spoke with a gentleman there along with a young lady and they were both really nice and friendly along with getting the job done. Very honest, you don't find that often... I will definitely be back soon!!!”
“The owner Ken is a very friendly guy. I head a noise coming from my car wasn’t sure what It was & he took a look at it. He took the time to explain what was wrong with my car and what needed to be done. 10/10 experience I would definitely recommend this shop. ?”
“Reco-ed by my neighbor who was reco-ed by a lady at church — had my car in and fixed within 30 minutes, definitely will come back for my inspection when it’s due. Opens early and works fast, thank you John!”
“Took my car here to get a quick repair and the service was amazing, the people are friendly and they're reliable. I have been using them on and off for years and have a significantly better experience here than any big chain mechanic. Highly recommend.”
“I visited this auto shop for a second opinion on my vehicle and had the pleasure of working with Darius. From the start, he provided a warm and welcoming experience. He thoroughly inspected my car and gave me his honest, professional assessment. His expertise and attention to detail were evident, and I truly appreciate his help. Thanks to Darius, I avoided spending hundreds of dollars unnecessarily. I highly recommend him if you need a trustworthy mechanic!”
“Great mechanics! My car was in an emergency state after being with a shady mechanic for FOUR months. I randomly called this shop, they got me in, didn’t overcharge me, and the repairs only took a few hours! I was impressed by how they were able to order parts same day. Im grateful.”
“Came here because I got a flat tire and had to be at work in an hour and they were the closest place that said they'd help me put my spare on. Had my spare on within 10mins. I called the next morning to see about getting a new tire and had a new tire that afternoon, and they didn't over charge me as much as they possibly could! I seriously appreciate the kindness and help with stuff I know nothing about. Also appreciate not paying what pepboys or chain businesses would charge for one tire. This place will be my go to from now on!”
“Best transmission rebuilds in the city fast reliable and upgraded to heavy duty parts without even knowing room my 07 Impala SS there dropped of on a Tuesday and was driving again on a sat was ready Friday but was at work. Need goood service for transmission will always be my go too. Plus 1 yr 10k mile warranty”
“Lost 3rd gear in my 2000 GMC Yukon XL SLT, called around,and did some searching on Google,too many places came up with far away locations and insane pricing,came across Joe Pirrone's and remembered picking up cars from there as a tow truck driver,read all the reviews,and I was satisfied by what I saw,so I called them,and told them exactly what my problem was,they told me it was a common issue with my truck after so many miles(185000 btw),they quoted me a reasonable amount for a complete rebuild,told me it may take up to 2 weeks once they get it in,so I agreed,brought the truck over and dropped it off on a Wednesday,by the following Wednesday it was done,I was paying for it and driving it home,so far so good,and the warranty they gave me gives me peace of mind,so I will be recommending them to anyone who needs transmission repairs.😎 Thanks guys.!😎”
“Action Transmission came highly recommended by my mechanic
They rebuilt the transmission of my manual Subaru and it drives a good as new
Professional, quick and well priced”
“I’m not big on reviews but had to take the time out to leave a positive one for Mickey’s! Went in for an oil change this morning and it was a pleasant experience. They were quick and efficient, went above and beyond with doing additional minor work like replacing a rear light bulb and my back wiper blade. They also gave me new wiper fluid without asking which I really appreciated. Dan is a solid guy, straightforward, and Devin did excellent service. Highly recommended!”
“Well worth the trip! After seeing reviews I drove 3 hours from Upstate NY to drop off my Vanagon with Kevin and Brian (the train station within a block of shop makes this ideal). At drop off Kevin didn’t just take the keys and shoo me out. He took the time to discuss everything I wanted done. Brian sent pics, texts, and called daily to update me on how progress was going. At pick up Brian thoroughly went through everything. They know VWs. These guys care, something you don’t always get these days. I highly recommend my new friends in Philly!Services: General repairs & maintenance”
“Ask for Carlos, he is the best at what he does. Fast efficient and cost effective. He will get you back on the road without trying to get you to pay for unnecessary work.”
“I brought my car in for an inspection and the team found a few problems with my car that needed to be fixed. They were able to explain the issues clearly and explain what I need to fix and why. They are very fair with the cost of service and were able to fix my car in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend them.”
“These guys were very helpful. I was frustrated when I went in there, because my Jeep stopped working out of nowhere. These guys were patient, they were understanding. They helped me calm down and he explained everything to me that was happening. The experts just like the name says. I was very pleased with the price. With the consideration of my feelings and with the Customer service i appreciate them and I would recommend them to anyone,🙏”
“Henry’s the man 💯 Fixed my wheel bearing for just $100 labor — absolute steal. Now he’s quoting both lower control arms on the driver’s side and still keeping it cheap. Honest, fast, and prices you can’t beat. Straight legend. If you need work done, go to Henry’s Auto Shop, no question.”
“I recommend New Ivy Hill Auto Repair, 901 Ivy Hill Rd between Stenton & Cheltenham Avenues.
Skip took care of me just showing up out of nowhere, replaced the starter and battery in one half-day (just ordering the starter which took that morning, no delays). Friendly, courteous, competent! I’ll be back if I need him!”
“Never write reviews, but just wanted to acknowledge the good people that work at Phil's shop. I brought my car in to have an inspection and a mirror replaced, which they did a great job with. I especially appreciate the transparency/efficiency with their phone/email follow up and digital quotes. After my car was repaired, it was parked on the street for me to pick up that afternoon. In that brief time, the car was hit by a truck that drove away (a rare but standard risk for any shop that doesn't have a lot to park cars under their care). Phil's team was extremely professional about the situation, filed a hit&run report, and took care of the subsequent repairs without any fuss. I think a lot of shop owners would have tried to deflect the responsibility, but they were really calm and easy to work with in a stressful situation. They are trustworthy, good-hearted people.”
“Found out they are under new management from the last time I came here over a year ago. I was nervous at first not knowing what to expect with new owners and they did not disappoint!!!! Logan was amazing at explaining everything and making the process as smooth as possible. All new spark plugs and ignition coils for a reasonable price and fixed quickly. I will DEFINITELY be coming here for all future repairs . Thank you guys!”
“Great experience with the auto body work and customer service. The work was done professionally, the car looks great, and the staff was friendly, helpful, and kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommend!”
“I've had a few problems with my car, and to give some insight, I've received multiple (over priced) quotes from various mechanics in the area. Pete came through with a free consult and evaluation of my vehicle and offered me different options to fix what was the most important/affordable at the time. This local neighborhood mechanic is honest and BS free. He'd straight up tell you anything you need to know without any fillers. You can try to go somewhere else, but don't bother. He's been in the business longer than most of your children, and you'll just be coming back cause other mechanics will just give you the run around for your time/money. Thank you Pete and Pablo for all your help!”
“Wonderful mechanics and staff! They took good care of my car. Communicated everything with transparency and took time to explain everything. I’ve been having issues with my car which is older for a couple years now and my car now drives like it’s new. Will be using them as a loyal customer going forward! Highly recommend!”
“My truck was hesitating and revving up wildly before clunking into third gear on my way to work. I drove it over to this Rhawn St location to have them check out the transmission issues before the truck got totally stuck. The mechanic found a faulty shift solenoid valve and replaced it without pushing a full rebuild on me. It shifts through the gears completely smooth now.”
“Picked up my clients car and must say I prefer to bring it back because they are on point .about ther work ..im taking it back tomorrow. Only because after the diagnostic he Only had the oil change ..but im going to pay to get everything done ..see you guys some time today”
“Rocky always does a great job of taking care of my car whenever I need anything. Oil changes, breaks, etc. He is super flexible and is always able to get me in and the earliest convenience. Would defiantly recommend!”
“Was looking online for a reliable, honest mechanic I could trust, since mechanic that once serviced my vehicles for 10+ years was no longer in service. Came across Universal auto repair and they great reviews, so I decided to make an appointment. Explained exactly what I was experiencing when driving. At first glance they couldn’t pin point the issue but with a bit more info from me they figured it out. Also had inspections/emission and daylight replaced. Will be taking my vehicle to them going forward. If looking for a trustworthy and friendly shop this is the one. Highly recommend ?”
