Everybody else has a different experience than mine but some years ago I brought my vehicle here to have some repair work done and 10 days later they had done virtually nothing. They hadn't fully diagnosed it, they didn't order parts, I didn't have an estimate. So I drove it to Firestone and had the work done in two days. Meanwhile, I was without a vehicle for 10 days. It frankly would've been better if they had just told me "we're not interested in doing this work" read more

My mother's car died and had to have it towed to this place. She had been waiting for 2 weeks and today she happened to call them to get a status report and they said "I should have called you, we don't have the correct tool to fix it." So 2 weeks wasted. One thing more valuable than money is time. read more

A quality family owned business, ran by caring and knowledgeable workers. I found them from living close by but they are well worth a drive if you're looking for a mechanic. Could not imagine anyone better to aid and assist you with your car needs. Highly recommend. read more

My car had been in an accident and it was getting repairs elsewhere and it was overdue for the annual vehicle inspection. I spoke with the owner of C&W and he said I could bring my car in right when I get it back. After repairs were complete, I brought it in, they completed the inspection that day. Highly recommend! read more

C & W serviced and repaired my 1978 MGB. Their work is excellent and the prices are very reasonable. I will never take this car anywhere else. read more

C & W Imports - Waiting room. Warm and cozy. Simple and geared ready. - Auto Repair Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Verdict: Lucky if you live nearby. Make the drive if you don't. You'll be glad you did. This local family owned shop runs entirely on the quality of their service and word of mouth. They're great people, they do great work, and they deserve a superb review and rating. The team at C&W went out of their way to fit me in when I needed an annual inspection. (Fun fact: PA gives you precious little time to get that done after moving to the state.) Hearing from multiple sources, I see that C&W comes through for a lot of people in the Lancaster community. When this family isn't bailing me and others out of an automotive jam, they might be out helping to fight an actual fire. Seriously fantastic people that have my gratitude. If you're still skeptical or wondering if they can help you, just read the other reviews or talk to anyone and be assured. read more

Tired of not being called back for weeks when your car's in the shop? Tired of wondering whether you've just been ripped off? Tired of grouchy mechanics who mumble things you can't understand? Tired of worrying that the job wasn't done right and you'll have to go back to do it all over? Then come here. Fantastic place to get your car needs met. Honest and friendly staff who communicate well about what work needs to be done and they do it right and as quickly as possible. I've been very unhappy with other places in the area so this place has been a miracle. Give them a shot- you won't regret it! read more

C & W Imports basically saved my entire weekend and I will forever be grateful for them. I was visiting from out of town for a wedding when I found myself panicked as my car had broken down in the middle of an intersection several hours before I had to be at the wedding. The good people of C & W ended up working overtime on that Friday night and then coming in the next day, even though they were technically closed, to ensure I could pick up my car and get back on the road. And their prices are extremely fair! They would never rip you off. I can't recommend them enough. Seriously makes me consider moving to Lancaster just based on the good-hearted people I've encountered there. read more

My car broke down about a month ago, RIGHT in front of this car repair shop. It was a First Friday and I ran out of gas completely. I thought that since I was right outside this car shop, everything would be fine. I went inside to ask them if someone could help me, but the room full of older gentlemen all said no. I was frustrated because I could not understand how this car shop didn't have an ounce of gas to spare, a gas can to borrow or possibly offer me, a young female, a ride to the gas station when it's late on a Friday night. Instead, I had to walk all the way down Prince Street, buy a gas can and fill it up. I carried two gallons back to my car (Imagine 2 gallons of milk...) I'm not that strong and gas was spilling on the sidewalk the whole trip back. It was a nightmare and I couldn't believe those guys wouldn't help me. This has nothing to do with their service, and I've never even heard of this place until that day, but it does have to do with how they treat guests who are not paying customers. read more

My absolute favorite Ron and Ron and Sally are a great team, have had VW Super Beetle, Renault, VW Wagon, Mitsubishi Diamante, Subaru all 3 of my wifes Hondas, Sons VW and Jeep served there, oh and don't forget the 87 Chevy 20 Conversion Van. First class and responsive all the time. read more

The name isn't too descriptive, but this shop is a reliable and trustworthy place to get your vehicle inspected and repaired. The owners and staff are always friendly and communicate well any required repair work and the options available prior to doing the work. Probably the only negative is, parking can be a little tight due to the small lot they are located on. I would definitely recommend this auto repair shop. read more

Wish I'd had the same experience as these other folks... Took my car to these guys because I had either stripped the threads in my oil plug or my oil pan during my last oil change. I had to call them for an update and the guy tells me that the "bolt" inside the oil pan that holds the plug in place has become detached from the pan and is just rotating, and that I will need a new oil pan. I told him that as far as I knew, the pan itself has the threads and the plug simply threads into it. I've read many accounts of people having this issue and having the plug removed and either tapping the hole to the next size or using a Heli-Coil insert. He told me that is not the case, and would need roughly $1,200 worth of work to put on a new pan. I checked with a BMW mechanic and found out that the pan itself has that threads, there is no "bolt" inside to hold the plug. So I tell the guy that I will just come get the car and ask him for the cost, he tells me $30.00. I was working all day, so I had my wife go to pay the bill and get my keys. She calls me and says they are trying to charge me nearly $60.00 and are charging me for a windshield washer fluid fill (which I just did myself a few weeks ago and haven't used the washer fluid since), and an oil filter (why would you put in a filter if you can't get the plug out to drain the oil?!). Mind you, I did not authorize them to do anything to the car once he told me that the "bolt" inside the oil pan broke off. Luckily after much arguing we were able to have those charges removed. They then told my wife that we are no longer welcome at their garage (as if I'd go back there anyway). First and last time I deal with those guys. Wish I could give less than 1 star. Bunch of crooks. read more
