At the time, they were about to close, so I said I could drop by the next day. The guy strongly suggested I leave my car there so that they could work on it first thing in the morning. Given we are both Chinese, I believed him. So I left my car there and asked him not to work on it until he gave me a quote. I didn't hear back from them the next day, so I called. They told me it's going to cost more than 1000$ to fix the window. I think it's too expensive and wanted to figure out something else. However, when I went to pick up my car, Lei's insisted on charging me 45$ for the mechanic inspection. I didn't think it was fair, but as a lady who wants her car back, I had no choice but pay the 45$. No one informed me that leaving my car there would cost me 45$. In fact, I think they set me up for this. Not honest people, not recommended. 再去lei's auto之前， 我就打电话说我的电动车窗坏了。 需要修理。 我到了lei's修车厂时，他们快下班了。我说我可以先开走，等他们查好价格再过来。当时的一个工作人员强烈建议我把车留下，那他们明早就可以早点开工修理。我说那你要先给我个报价才可以修理，他说好，明天一早就给我电话。第二天并没有人给我电话，我打过去好几次，然后才有人给我报价说要1000多刀。我觉的太贵了，就想把车先取回来。去取车的时候，lei's一定要收我45刀的mechanics检查费。说白纸黑字在墙上。可惜我头天来的时候并没有进屋，也没有看到这张纸，也没有被告知过。这应该就是欺负我一个女生，想拿回车不得不给钱的感觉。付了45刀买个教训，也给各位同胞提个醒。

Joe Long operated this auto repair shop for decades. Joe passed away several years ago and the shop…read morehas been operated by a series of other people since he died. The good reputation of this shop is strictly based on Joe Long's supervision of mechanics, but that is long gone. Service there has significantly deteriorated since then. I miss Joe, as does my family fleet that once numbered five vehicles. Joe maintained them for about 25 years and I never had a problem with his mechanic's work. (I'm a "farm boy" with some mechanical and DIY skills, so please know that when you read this review.) I took my Prius there for annual inspection about a year ago, and reported no known problems on this highly reliable 2010 car with about 130K miles. They called me and said "It's in pretty good condition for its age and miles but many of the cushions in the suspension system are badly deteriorated and need to be replaced." The price, with inspection (which it already passed except for this issue) was $700. I told them "I have owned six Toyota's during my 60+ year driving career and all of them were very low maintenance and highly reliable, I drove each of them at least 150,000 miles and never needed any suspension work--not even to replace shocks or get a wheel alignment. I simply can not believe what you are telling me." They said to come pick up the car. When I did I saw elevated on a repair rack my neighbor's car with front and back suspension components disassembled and hanging--obviously as part of the process to replace these suspension component cushions. That auto was less than 1/3 the age of my car and I could not believe it needed this type of suspension work. I took my car to Midvale Auto in East Falls and it passed inspection without a problem. Avoid East Falls auto like the plague!

After coming here for 4 years for their overpriced and deceptive services, I'm taking my business…read moreelsewhere from now on. Granted that I don't know much about cars, I initially trusted the highly rated google reviews on this place since they seem to be run by honest people who are trustworthy. I really should've trusted my guts after my car's AC suddenly stopped working after taking it in for a yearly inspection here a couple of years ago, but I kept coming back in hopes that it was just a one-time thing (when I took the car back to have them take a look at it after that incident, they claimed the issue was not reproducible that there's nothing wrong with it. As if by magic, my AC suddenly worked after I picked up my car from them). This year, I dropped my car off with them for the yearly inspection and oil change (each of those services cost at least $100 btw). I was pretty busy at work when they texted me several images of my car tire. When asked if it needed a change, I was told it's highly recommended but not needed to pass the inspection. On the other hand, since I just replaced my car battery, I needed to drive my car in order to generate sufficient emissions data for the inspection. When I called them to ask about the tire issue on the phone, I was also told that the tires would only last around 25 more miles before they gave out. Since I don't wanna risk having a flat/blown out tires, I asked them to give me the quote for the cost of the tires. On the phone, they mentioned a set would be around $621. I thought it sounded a bit expensive, but after checking online, it seems like a reasonable range so I proceeded with it. They later sent me a text that all services (oil change + state inspection + 3 tires) would cost around $840. Mind you, whenever someone mentions a set of tires, one would assume they meant the entire set of 4 tires unless you're driving a tricycle. I didn't pay much attention to the part where they mentioned 3 tires since I thought it was a typo. Nope. I was fooled. They REALLY meant the change was only for a set of 3 tires. Since I picked up my car at the end of a workday, I didn't have much energy left for anything else than to just get home and rest. Granted that I've been going to this place for the past 4 years, I also thought that my loyalty to them would allow me to trust them with a high level of service. To hell with that expectation since none of the following were provided on the day I picked up the car: 1) the digital invoice (they link they sent on the day of service did NOT work), 2) the physical copy of the invoice, 3) the information on the tires' warranty, which they claimed verbally was only 6 months from the date of service or based on the tires' thread life, and 4) the safety inspection results. Before I picked up my car, I looked up Yokohama tire's website (the manufacturer of the kind I purchased), and it clearly states that they offer a warranty up to 65,000 mile and a 30-day trial satisfaction guarantee. After mentioning this to Ken's Auto on the call, they said that guarantee is only applicable if I were to 1) purchase 4 tires, and 2) submit the claim on my own on Yokohama's website. Granted that I last changed all 4 of my tires at Costco at the same time, I fail to understand why they'd only change only 3 of them ESPECIALLY if it would limit me from being able to get the manufacturer's warranty honored. Any automotive resources would also tell you the replacing either a set of 2 tires (front-wheel drive) or 4 tires (all wheel drive) simultaneously would be optimal to prevent uneven wear and tear and maintain balanced handling. This place has snake oil dripping down their teeth when they mentioned that the last tire didn't need to be replaced since it's still in good working condition and that I'm being charged fairly since I wouldn't be able to find a business that'd install my tires without charging for the labor costs (hello, Costco does this ALL the time). The part that pissed me off the most was how gaslighting they were about all the things they mentioned on the phone call and texts as follows: 1) they claimed they never told me my tires would only last 25 more miles, and 2) they claimed they DID inform me that I'd be charged for 3 tires by the 3 text images (despite the fact that they look like they're pictures of the same tire but from a slightly different angle) as well as on the phone (a complete lie). If you're looking for an honest and trustworthy car shop, this place isn't it. Keep looking elsewhere and save your money. Update: In response to Ken L.'s reply, I'd like to clarify that the estimates were provided AFTER the complaint call. The link to the invoice on the date of the service only says to "contact the shop to reshare the link". I was probably put on blast/speaker by the business during the complaint call rather than when the original conversation concerning the tires issue and pricing. So much for customer service...

Bringing my car somewhere for repairs I've felt uncomfortable and in over my head, wondering if I'm getting ripped off. A few days ago someone side swiped my drivers side mirror while it was parked on the street. I did some research on local mechanics and called Maggianos. They picked up immediately and said they'd be available that day to take a look. From the start I was given great, honest, friendly service that included price estimates and regular updates on my side mirror. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly, and within two days I had a brand new side mirror installed. I'm thrilled to have found a reliable mechanic in my neighborhood, and couldn't be happier with my experience.
