I had a fantastic experience with them. I was stranded a 1/2 mile away with a pothole blown front tire. They sent a wonderful technically who evaluated the situation and said I could make it to the shop while he followed me. They had to order a new tire, which would take 2-3 hours, he drove me home. Their prices were really fair and reasonable! And their service is excellent! I give them 5 stars!! read more

Honest, informative about possible issues. Liked my interactions with them very much.

Great service!!!! Very nice to work with.Great customer service! They truly care about helping you. read more

Took my car in for multiple issues including broken a/c. Did a $500+ diagnostic without consulting me first; fix would've been north of $3000 (not just a/c). Never again, took my car and left down half a grand. Thanks for nothing. read more

Always a great experience from start to finish. Robby at the front office greeted me with a lively, welcoming customer service and got me scheduled in ASAP, which I really appreciated. Andrew, the mechanic, is extremely knowledgeable and clearly knows his craft. From regular maintenance to custom work on my car, his attention to detail and confidence made me feel like my vehicle was in the best hands. Honestly, what can't this shop do?! It's rare these days to find a trustworthy mom-and-pop auto shop that delivers this level of service, skill, and care. I highly recommend this place and wish them nothing but continued success and many years of staying in business. I will definitely keep coming back. read more

I received fast and friendly service. I came in for an oil change. I would return for maintenance in the future.

Our family, and at least ten different cars over nearly forty years- that's right- have been served, and serviced, with immediate attention, unparalleled skill and a full understanding of our automotive needs by the family of B&W Auto. Everyone at B&W understands our approach to owning our cars, station wagons, minivans and SUVs. The office managers and staff and the mechanics we have come to know well have each taken the time to understand us as long-time customers, and have advised us on every level of care and maintenance that has permitted us to drive confidently and safely for all these years with all these different types of cars. The explanations we receive for things to repair on any type of car are delivered patiently, and clearly. They are skilled not only at repairing our cars but in advising us regarding the short-term and longer-term repairs we should anticipate, so we are not surprised as we drive older cars which, of course, can become more expensive to repair as they age. Before we found the Waters family at B & W, one of the unstable elements of life was never knowing if the auto service we received was accurate. We have never had that worry since we started with them. We drive confidently, and we know we can trust their repairs, their explanations and their prices, too. We have recommended other friends and family to B & W. Everyone we have recommended has a similar story to relate. It has been completely satisfying to be long-time customers, but also to share information about some of the joys and routines of normal life, with everyone at B & W. The B & W crew is just the best. We can recommend no one, nor any business, more enthusiastically or with more confidence, than the Waters family and their B & W Auto Service. read more

Bryan is professional and gets things done in a timely manner. Fair prices, too. I would highly recommend.

A very professionally run family business!! I am certain that I received the best advice and value for the repairs required. B&W have reinforced my belief that dealing with family owned businesses versus the big brands provides you with a much better customer experience. Thank-you for looking after my son and his car when I was unable to be there to take a look at it during this pandemic. It is so nice to know that a business can relate to and care so much for their customers. Cheers!! read more

I have been a customer for 30 years. The guys at B&W are competent, knowledgeable and fair. They have kept our cars running smoothly and let us know when we need to plan for a big repair. Bottom line, I have peace of mind knowing that I can get timely and honest service for our cars. Loretta Dugan read more

Excellent family run business that takes care of their customers! Everyone there is very kind and professional and the mechanics know the ins and outs of all the cars I've brought to them. Recently, I took my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee because I thought there was an issue. They found a problem with the computer system and told me I needed to take the vehicle to a Jeep dealer since it was covered under warranty. The technician at Jeep insisted their was no issue but when I told him with B&W said it was, Jeep called back and said they were right. Although B&W did not service my car this particular time, they were able to diagnose an issue not even a certified Jeep technician could find. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone take their vehicles to B&W for service. read more

I have been taking my car to B&W for years. Very easy to set an appointment, trustworthy, and have taken great care of my cars over the years. Trust their expertise and abilities totally! read more

I went a month ago for a problem, they "fixed it", today I had to go back because the problem came back. No guarantee on the work, really disappointed, not recommend it. And really expensive too. read more

Professional, quality repair at a fair price. Something comes up, Matt or Larry will give you a call and let you know the status, and options. These are the guys who are working on your car, might know you - I've been going there for over 20 years with six different out of warranty cars and have always been happy with the service and the value. Family owned, fair, and a breath of fresh air. Skip the dealership, go here. read more

First off, I'm the son of two serious car owners who have frequented B&W for years, so I have experience both with my car and their cars. The mechanics here are amazing and the service is incredible. My first car was a '08 Volvo S80 AWD T6 (turbo I6) which lasted for a while (RIP) and they always kept that baby in tip top shape until it was totaled (not my fault too) My next and current car was a '07 Subaru Impreza 2.5i sedan. It was a lemon off the lot and the warrantee that came with it sucked for both me and the mechanics experience. Regardless of what happened on his end, it always worked out. Matt is a great mechanic. Come to him and I guarantee you'll get your money's work read more

Great service! Fast service! Always very nice people. I had an emergency today (check engine light) and they took me right away and diagnosed my car while I waited. They even let my dog come in and wait with me! I highly recommend! read more

B & W is a medium size, independent auto repair shop. These guys have never steered me wrong. I've gone for state inspections as well as repairs. I've never left suspecting that they did unnecessary work, and I've never left without having my problem completely resolved. Also, they are friendly; this is the kind of place where they remember you after a few visits. read more

I really can't say enough about B & W. Every time I need to use them, they're always friendly and willing to accommodate if they can (I was driving to Texas on a Thursday, and called them on a Monday asking for an inspection. They did it all on Wednesday). I've never once felt like they did unnecessary work to charge more, and the work they do is always great. What really sells me, though, are the personal touches: they call whenever they have a question for you, send postcard reminders about oil changes or inspections, and they're always pleasant. Bottom line prices are very fair, too. I would recommend them to any and every one who needs something done with their car. read more

I have been going to B&W for almost a quarter of a century now and they are the best around! They guys have always been very fair with me and even sometimes need to give me advise that is OPPOSITE of what benefits them financially. It's like having a couple mechanic brothers in the family. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a good mechanic in the Chestnut Hill/Wyndmoor area! (or beyond!) read more

My experience with B&W Auto service was very unsatisfactory; and it cost me more than $285.00. I learned that they don't care about repair results, only getting your money. I located this company by Googling "Isuzu repair shop near me," and B&W was at the top of the list. My car (1993 Isuzu Rodeo) was having trouble on longer-distance trips with "intermittent power loss." Several other local mechanics couldn't figure out the problem, even though they replaced numerous costly parts. I spoke with the B&W mechanic at length on the phone and he said they could investigate and likely resolve the problem. The car was in their shop for 24 hours, and when I drove it locally, it performed fine. But as soon as I took it on a 90-mile trip, the car acted up again with the same problem. I called B&W and reported my ongoing dilemma, but they were not interested in working on the car any further to resolve the problem. They explained that the car was old, and suggested that I drive the car "only locally." I paid over $285 to B&W to repair my car, but I got practically nothing tangible in return except rude and inadequate services. Grade: F, Not Professional. read more

Great service, honest, efficient and reliable, I have had them service both my Volvo and BMW very pleased

We've been taking our cars to B&W for over 10 years now. Excellent service every time. Very trustworthy. Skilled team. Reasonable rates. Family owned & operated. We are customers for life! read more

Ever dream of a car repair business where you can totally trust the truth of what you are being told about your car? This is the place. Not only are they honest they do excellent work. At one point Larry was able to pinpoint an ongoing starter problem on an old Passat that even VW had not been able to figure out (and had charged more than $100 to say they had found nothing wrong.) read more

I have been a faithful customer of B&W since 2003. I can't think of enough good adjectives to describe them. These guys are fair, courteous, competent, reliable, and reasonable. Why have your routine maintenance done at a dealer by someone they hired yesterday, when you can have it down by Matt and his colleagues? read more

I went to B & W on the recommendation of some friends and have always been happy that I did. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the Philadelphia area. The shop doesn't look fancy, but the service is excellent and very professional. They are also easy-going and very honest. You never have any worries about unnecessary work or inferior service. They are convenient to schedule an appointment with, and do their best to work with your schedule. I've recently moved away from Philadelphia, and one thing I was sad about was that I'd have to find a new mechanic. This place is great and highly recommended. read more

My car is old and it began to have trouble starting up in the summer. We took the car in to B&W on a friend's recommendation. The first time, they told us there wasn't anything they could find but said we needed to change the oil because it was "dirty", and so we did. A few weeks later, we still had problems with the car not starting (intermittently) and we took it in a second time. Again, this time they said our 1 year old battery had a short in it and we should go replace. It was under warranty so we replaced it at Costco but we still had to pay for the car to be checked. We wondered why they didn't check the battery the first time but we hoped that would fix the issue. It did not, and we took it in a third time. We suggested maybe there was something wrong with the spark plugs. B&W replaced the spark plugs but I'm not so sure that they really tested it (or if it's possible to test the spark plug). All in all we ended up spending +$600 for the three times we took it in and we still have the issue of car not starting. We felt this was a lot of money for the same problem which still was not addressed. My biggest complaint with them is that when we tried to explain that this was a lot of expenses for a problem that keeps occurring and frankly they could not fix. The mechanic said "if it starts fine when I test it, there's nothing I can do". And when we fought the charges, he insisted that these were tune ups that were done and were justified. Yes, they were tune ups but that was because that's what you guys suggested we should do. They did not find the cause of the problem, and it almost felt like they did not understand why we brought it in the first place. There seems to be a breakdown in communication there. We ended up footing the bill each time and took the car home in not much better shape than it was when we first brought it in. After doing some online research, we found out that Autozone and Pep Boys perform free diagnostic tests to test your battery, starter and alternator when you have problems like what we had. We took it in to Autozone and with a simple diagnostic test, they were able to determine that the alternator was faulty and needed to be replaced. Why B&W did not do the same test in any of the three times we brought it in, is beyond me. We still have to pay for the alternator to be replaced but we certainly won't take it to B&W. They have ripped us off, resulting in unnecessary expenses. read more

On the recommendation of a friend I first took my 1994 Buick LeSabre there back in 2001-2002 for various problems. They did honest competent, quality work and I never had a comeback on what they repaired. After I got rid of the Buick I started taking my 2001 Civic DX (standard five speed) there for repairs. This past March I took it in because my transmission was growling. The car has 115,000 miles on it. By just taking it for a test drive, these guys figured out it was the intake shaft bearing in the transmission that needed to be replaced (good news). Now the bearing was only $38.00 (good news) but they had to remove the exhaust system so they could drop the transmission (bad news). Then they had to strip the entire transmission apart just to replace the bearing (bad news). They also had to machine a part and the clutch was worn down to almost nothing so they replaced that (what are you going to do?). They also changed the oil because it needed it. They said they checked the rest of the transmission when they had it stripped apart and said that it looked great (good news). Total cost was $1450.00 (mostly labor). This was cheaper than what the dealer would have charged and like I said: I trust these guys because they do honest, competent, quality work and they don't fix what isn't broke. So I was not upset at the price. Last night my Civic started to make a thumping noise in the front as I drove it. I hadn't hit anyone so I knew I wasn't dragging a body down there (I checked just to be sure). So I took it in today with no hesitation and told them what was going on, asked them to check out the thumping and set up some other work I had planned for the car. I unhesitatingly recommend these guys. They are very honest and they are very competent at their jobs. Are they expensive? Well you get what you pay for. With B & W I get peace of mind and no comebacks on honest, professional, quality work they have performed. They have never steered me wrong. read more
