I've been in State College for about a year now. Whenever I need a tune-up, I go to my guy back…read morehome, so I never really had a reason to find an auto shop up in PA. Lo and behold, my AC decides to crap out during this hot, hot summer. A friend suggested a mom and pop shop near campus. After giving them a call, I was informed that they did not work on AC units. I then asked if there was any shop in the area they could suggest. The gentleman on the other line recommended Sharer's Automotive. I immediately gave them a call. The receptionist, Tracy, was so helpful and sweet. Thankfully, I was able to schedule an appointment for the same day (or else I would've had to drive back home to Maryland in the scorching heat!). Jared, the owner and mechanic, explained to me what was potentially happening with my car. He informed me that to know for sure whether or not there was a leak, he would need to place a special dye in the system. Jared flushed out the AC system and added refrigerant. I then scheduled a follow-up. I went back yesterday to have my AC checked. Jared found some minor leaks and gave me a pair of neon yellow glasses to see for myself (which was pretty cool, I might add!). Oftentimes, mechanics may push for unnecessary repairs and upsells. However, I am pleased to tell you that this was not the case at Sharer's Automotive. Jared was very honest, and the prices were fair. I'm delighted to have found this garage!

If I could give 0 stars, I would…read more We dropped our vehicle off on 6/21/26 for a scheduled calibration appointment on 6/22/26. On the morning of 6/22, we called to confirm that the keys we left in the drop box had been received. We never received a call that day indicating the work had been completed, so we called again on the morning of 6/23. During that call, we were told they weren't sure why the vehicle was there and had been waiting for someone to call. We were then informed that the calibration would be completed that day. When we picked up the vehicle on 6/23, my significant other noticed that one of the windows had been left down. When he attempted to roll it up, it would not operate properly. What was especially concerning was that no one informed us of this issue before we picked up the vehicle. The window had been left open with paperwork and personal items inside the vehicle, leaving them exposed and within easy reach of anyone passing by. At a minimum, we would have expected to be notified of the issue before taking possession of the vehicle. I called the business politely to ask if anything had happened while the vehicle was in their possession so we could provide accurate information to our mechanic. I was not accusing anyone of causing the issue; I was simply looking for information. Unfortunately, the manager immediately became defensive, raised his voice, and began yelling during the conversation. Rather than speaking to me professionally, he repeatedly interrupted me, called me names, and spoke to me in a hostile and disrespectful manner. He also told me that if I came into the business to discuss the matter further, he would have me arrested. At no point was I threatening or aggressive--I was simply trying to understand what had happened to my vehicle. He hung up on me twice, and when I was finally able to speak with him again, the conversation remained hostile and unproductive. Instead of addressing a legitimate customer concern, he chose to belittle me and treat me with complete disrespect. Regardless of whether the business was responsible for the damage, customers deserve to be treated with professionalism and courtesy. The lack of communication regarding our vehicle, combined with the manager's behavior, made this an extremely frustrating experience. We have contacted our insurance company regarding the damage and will also be filing complaints with the appropriate consumer agencies. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this business. The customer service was unprofessional, communication was poor, and concerns were met with hostility rather than assistance. Based on other reviews it seems this is an on going issue

The window was completely down within the door, wide open and we were heading to Pittsburgh for the next college tour. The weather was calling for downpours of rain of biblical proportions and we were desperate. We proceeded to phone and beg for help from around 5 diff auto repair shops and were told they were either too busy or the mechanics had left. As we drove we saw Starks. Yes, he was closing, but Will took a look and proceeded to get us back on the road! He was able to get the window back in place so that we could get where we needed to go without getting soaked. Fixing the window was no easy feat, but he did it with patience and a smile and we are forever grateful to him for helping out stranded New Yorkers when no one else was willing. Will Stark obviously has the work ethic that has fallen by the wayside in current times. People in State College, PA are lucky to have this wonderful auto specialist for themselves. He is one of a dwindling breed of people who provide true service and care more for their customers than the time clock and money. We wish him the best!
