    Listen, everyone knows about this chain of repair places, so no introduction is needed. This…read moreparticular location has the same problems as many others do- inconsistent timing, work not being done totally right and needed a second drop off, etc. However being able to just randomly show up and drop my car off without being turned away is the convenience aspect that I think makes all of us tolerate the spot. When its really close (walkable even), then its worth it. If I had an insider at a smaller local shop I'd probably go there, but if you are just in a rush and don't know the area well, its fine. I don't know how their retail part stays in business since you can buy everything online nowadays.

    AVOID THIS PEP BOYS LOCATION AT ALL COSTS!…read more I made an appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. When I got to the store, I had to reexplain what I wanted. I asked the clerk to replace my wiper fluid. He said they usually don't have any, but he'd see if there was some "lying around." The clerk told me that the service would take about an hour and a half. That was at around 9:40. I didn't get a message that the car was done until around 2:30. When I went to pick my car up they had somehow forgotten to do the tire rotation and I cooled my heels for another hour while they rectified that. They were supposed to replace my wiper blades, but SURPRISE! They didn't have any! I have an Outback, not a Lamborghini. There was a Manager's Special that would have saved me money but I only learned about it when I was about to pay my bill. By that time it was too late. They wasted half my day on all this nonsense. When I gave them a bad review on Google, the "owner" apologized, asked me for info they should already have on file, and told me they'd look into it. But offer a refund or even a coupon (not that I would ever go back)? Nope. They are careless, don't listen, and don't seem to care about the customer at all. With such incompetence, I'm worried they even didn't provide any of the services I paid for. No wonder they have so many bad reviews! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!

    I've been going to Don's Auto for well over a decade and they've always treated me fairly, but this…read moreweek really reminded me why I keep coming back. My wife's car battery died unexpectedly and when I brought it in, Don didn't give me the runaround or try to sell me something I didn't need. He actually offered to refund me for the battery even though it had been installed months ago. That kind of honesty is rare. It's a family-run shop with people who are straightforward, fair, and genuinely trying to help their customers. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in the area, Don's Auto is the place to go.

    I can't recommend this business enough…read more I brought my 2010 Nissan Maxima to Don's Auto Repair in East Passyunk after a really frustrating experience at a dealership. At the dealership, my car passed emissions, but they refused to give me a safety inspection sticker unless I agreed to replace both front hub bearings plus do an alignment for $1,618.71. When I asked for proof the bearings were actually bad (wheel play, stethoscope on the hub, etc.), they couldn't show me anything concrete just "it's the noise, trust us." I walked away instead of approving almost $2,000 of work. When I went to Don's, I did not tell him what the dealership claimed the problem was. I wanted to see what he thought it was. All I told Don was that my Maxima had a loud roaring noise above ~30 mph. He took the car in and within 9 minutes found the real issue: it was ONLY the front LEFT wheel bearing, NOT both. From there, he then gave me the option between a brand-name wheel bearing and an off-brand (the cheaper one only saved about $40, but it was still nice to be asked instead of told) Don explained clearly what was wrong and that the left one was shot and absolutely needed to be replaced, and the right one could wait. Don replaced that single left front bearing in about 3 hours. Don charged me almost $1,100 less than I would have spent following the dealership's recommendation. A nice surprise: Don does not charge a credit card fee, which I honestly can't say for anywhere else I've been ever. My car is now quiet, the noise is gone, and it was fixed right the first time: with one bearing instead of two, no guessing, and no pressure. If you're tired of feeling like you're being sold to instead of helped, go to Don's. He's exactly what you hope a neighborhood mechanic will be: honest, efficient, transparent about options, fair on price, and actually interested in fixing the problem without damaging your wallet. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you Don!

    Listen. LISTEN. If you are considering hiring this "mobile mechanic," please pause, take a deep…read morebreath, and maybe lie down, because what I'm about to describe is not for the faint of heart. This man rolled up to my driveway in a van that looked like it had already lost a fight with a tornado, a raccoon, and possibly its own sense of self-worth. He hopped out, spilled an entire soda, and said, "Don't worry, that happens." Sir. SIR. Why is that your greeting?? He opened my hood, nodded like he was understanding the secrets of the universe, then poked a totally random part and said, "Yep, that's your problem." When I asked what the problem was, he said and I quote, "Mechanic stuff." Thirty minutes later my car was making a new sound I can only describe as "haunted dishwasher screaming into the void." I asked him if that was normal and he said, "Cars make noises." Then he charged me an amount of money so offensive I think it might be a hate crime against my bank account. He drove away. My car died. In the same moment. Like they were spiritually connected and my car couldn't continue living after witnessing whatever he did to it. If you hire this man, may the automotive gods have mercy on your soul because he WILL NOT. i would give zero stars but, Yelp refuses to let me express the true depth of my suffering.

    Basically we were side swiped. I put out a project on yelp asking for a mechanic. Dave messaged me…read moreand said he would come out that night to take a look. Hours go by and he never showed. Finally that morning he came by. Told us the issues and told us what parts to get. We paid him $250 to buy the parts and $200 in labor. Not only did he get junked parts but none of them were good. I asked him to at least refund us for the money we paid in the parts. So he stopped responding. DO NOT USE THIS MECHANIC. He took our car parts and sold them for cash and our car still isn't running. We've had to have another mechanic take a look and begin to work on the car. This was a very unpleasant experience I wish on no one.

    Went in for a rough idle, which started after a high (but within spec) rev during downshift…read more Online research had indicated that it was likely a timing belt tooth slip at best, and at worst was valve or piston damage. I had been told on the phone by Schafer's that they had a diagnostic machine that could drill down to the exact cause of the error code. Not so. Their second level diagnostic, which would have cost over $200 except for a discount coupon I had received, did not diagnose the specific cause of the rough idle. They wanted to replace my entire EGR system and also fix a leaky valve cover, for a cost of over $2,000, just to start. They only gave all that a 50% chance of being the problem. The components in my EGR system are easy to test and do not require replacement if they are good. They listed a $241 charge for an EGR valve control solenoid, but my car's EGR valve is vacuum operated only, so I don't understand why that part was needed. The installation time was taken from "the book," and was hugely inflated over how much time is actually needed for this work, much of which I have done myself in the past. If a spark plug seal is bad, they should have been able to know which cylinder is misfiring from the diagnostic. When I asked for a pricing on a timing belt replacement, which they refused to do without the other work, their price was much, much higher than the estimate I received from a dealer. I previously had brake work done by Schafer's, which was unrelated to the current problem, and found their prices to be high for the work done, but lower than what Meinicke had wanted for the job. That led me to have confidence in Schafer's, but at this point I have lost that confidence.

    Listen!! Let's be real. As a woman, if you (like me) know nothing about cars, getting car stuff…read moredone can feel like a crapshoot because it's 50/50 on if they're gonna rip you off. Never ever that at Schafer's! They're incredible. Everyone from front desk to the techs are patient, kind, and so willing to explain what's going on, lay out the options, and help w/ pricing when they can. I go to them for everything, inspections to major repairs, and the twice-a-year tire alignment (thanks, south Philly roads). A feature I really love: they send you a text after each appt with a link to a full diagnostic where each aspect of the vehicle is graded great, okay, and needs work, which is so helpful for planning for big expenses. Just another example of their transparent, customer-focused perspective.
