I bought a Subaru Outback in February 2025 with a used car warranty from a dealership in PA. In…read moreMarch 2025 the transmission quit working. After calling a dozen or so places, I found two garages that would entertain the idea of working with a warranty company, and Helbig's was the only one to call back within a 24 hour timeframe. From the beginning, Fred laid out how the process works, what could go wrong, what should happen, what extra costs I might have, and the best way to go about repairing it. My Subaru had a CVT and it was a 2016 Outback with a 3.6 liter engine instead of the standard 2.5, and it was impossible to find a used replacement anywhere in the US. Honest. I looked too. Fred talked to his Subaru guy and the only real solution was a Subaru factory rebuilt transmission. Fred went about filling out the paperwork for the warranty company even though he had never heard of it before and invested a lot of personal time into my situation. I had the car for 34 days before the transmission went and I was certain that the warranty company would deny the claim and say that it was damage prior to coverage. Fred dotted every "I" and crossed every "t" on that paperwork and jumped through every hoop the warranty company gave him. Fred kept in contact with me every day there was a new development. Finally, he called to say that it had actually been approved. I couldn't believe it and figured it would be a few more weeks before getting my car back. 6 days later I was ready to roll. Helbig's saved me at least $6,000 by taking the time to do my paperwork properly, not to mention saving my sanity.

Unfortunately, they cross-threaded two of the lug nuts on one of my rims. I am only discovering this 10 months later after a tire shop could not remove the lug nuts on one of my rims. I had to take it to another mechanic to get them off as I could not (they were free spinning). It cost me $360. All for a very avoidable mistake by these guys.

But getting my Volkswagon fixed at Sam's was literally the best car repair experience of my life. I just had to write a review because it's SO RARE to find a quality, honest mechanic like Sam! We were due for our 100,000 mile maintenance and needed some preventative service done. We were visiting Uniontown had to leave in a few days -- but Sam was generous in fitting us in during a busy week. He did a lot of research to find the parts we needed, fast (and cheaply) and gave us a solid quote (which was much cheaper than anything we would have found where we live). When we came to pick the car up, Sam was thorough and walked us through everything he did to the car. He showed us the parts he replaced and told us about some additional issues the car had that he simply took care of for us. He had checked our previous maintenance records and left us with some great tips and pointers for how to best take care of our particular type of engine. He told us how one prior mechanic messed something (small) up on the car and told us the cheapest way to fix it once we were back home. The total matched his quote exactly and we were so impressed with the whole experience. He was careful, efficient, polite, professional, totally honest -- and very, VERY reasonably priced! If you ever need a mechanic in the Uniontown area, this is the guy.
