The store is a world of gadgets, parts and accessories. Every square foot of space is taken over by something car-related.

Great to see a place like that in Media.

Went into the store and was told I had to bring the old battery in with me. Well I asked if someone could help me because I didn't know how to take it out, they refused. I asked to borrow some tools so I could do it myself, they said they didn't have any tools. What happened to courtesy and helping others. It doesn't cost anything to make someone else's day better. To get to the point they were very unhelpful. They looked at me like I was asking them to pay for the battery for me. All I wanted was a little assistance and I surely didn't get it there.

I knew that he…read morespecialized in Volkswagens, but needed to get my car inspected ASAP (sometimes I'm a little last-minute with these things!), and had a really negative experience the last time I made a visit to my local, West Philly garage. I also a few other mechanics, as well, but nobody had an appointment that worked with my schedule. Even though he specializes in Volkswagens, Chris told me that he could take care of a routine state inspection and basic maintenance for a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. He told me to bring the car in at 7am the next morning. When I got there, Chris waved me in (it's a little hard to find because the sign is missing and it's nestled behind P&J Auto Body). He was driving another customer home, but was back in less than 10 minutes. The shop is nothing fancy; it isn't like car dealerships where they have an air conditioned waiting room with televisions, magazines, and an espresso machine. I waited in the shop while he completed the inspection, which took about an hour. He talked to me while he worked, and told me about his hobby of collecting Civil War, WWI, and WWII artifacts. When he saw that I was reading, he told me about a few late 19th century books he had lying around, handed me a box to look through, and told me to take whatever I wanted. He charged $70 for the inspection, $15 to replace 3 lights, and $3 to replace the fluids. When I arrived, I told him I thought the car needed new brakes. After the inspection, he told me that I didn't need new brakes and explained the cause of the noise I had been hearing. He then said, "I can't even sell you an oil change, because it still looks brand new." This is what I've been looking for in Philadelphia- a competent mechanic who isn't trying to rip me off. Thanks again, Mr. Daniels.

Friendly service, prompt and fast. It was simple today-- oil change and tire rotation-- but it was at a good price and time ($120 for 30 minutes) and I was out of there after a short walk around the neighborhood. The guys here are definitely older but seem to have good experience in vehicles. Make sure to call ahead and schedule a time, as it seems like they were pretty booked and only squeezed me in because the maintenance ask was pretty simple. Not a lot of seating inside the shop for waiters, but a few seats (old vehicle chairs actually ). I was able to do a bit of work on Xfinity wifi while they were finishing up. Overall, I'd come back for routine jobs! Can't speak for more complicated repairs, but I'd be willing to try it given this experience.
