Called ahead and scheduled an appointment after talking about the issue, when I arrived he turned me away and was very unprofessional about it. Don't waste your time or they will gladly waste yours. read more

He is pricey and always something "needed". Claims he does honest thorough work. But yes very pricey.

Had my car towed in for repair. He Showed me estimates for thousands of dollars to repair it and said it could be repaired within a few days. A few days turned into a week. A week turned into 2 weeks and still nothing was done to my car. I had to have it towed elsewhere to finally get it repaired. Now there are 2 tow charges on my car. read more

When we found ourselves late at night in a gas station in Mechanicsburg following a very unusual engine sound that started on the turnpike, Mr. Clay who was there "off duty" very kindly helped us perform some checks and top up our oil level, and did not accept any money for this service. It turned out to be a very serious engine failure, unrelated to the oil level but my point is that Mr Clay showed true gentleman-ship in helping a stranded family and we are very grateful for his assistance, which makes us think that his regular customers must be in very good hands. read more

By chance, I got a flat right outside of this place one day and they helped me out even though it was 5:30 and they closed at 6. That was really nice of them, I'll give them that. However, the waiting room was literally freezing - not heated. I had my gloves on inside for the whole hour it took to fix my car. Now the other problem I have is that these guys can be really rude - the night I got the flat I attested it to the fact that it was late and they wanted to go home. But the other day I called to make an appointment for a repair and the man who answered was incredibly rude and condescending. If someone talks to me like that, they will not get my business. I will not be going back. read more

I literally got a yelp just to review this business. Go anywhere else. I took my car to be inspected. They said it needed about $2000 worth of work to pass inspection. Something about front struts. I paid half upfront, they called me when the parts came in. I dropped off my car with a promise of it being done that week. They had it for a month and a half because they thought I was 'trying to get the rest of the money together' which was never once mentioned. They hadn't touched it, it had been sitting the whole time. I could've been driving it! After another week I was able to pick it up. Paid the rest and left mad. Only for my car that JUST HAD WORK DONE AND PASSED INSPECTION to no longer turn on. I had a blown fuse to my alternator, needed a new battery and we're STILL trying to figure out what he did to it. There aren't any new parts we can see. It still won't turn on, we're trying to figure out where the hell the problem is. I have never had an issue with my car before this. Not once. I just wanted a damn inspection and paid $2000 for them to break my car. Literally, go anywhere else. This place is literally the definition of shady. read more

after a long day of fishing with my dad on the way home the truck over heated . Luckily we came to this place even though it was 2:30 on a Saturday and they closed at 3 they were able to pull the truck in get the new part from Napa and have us on our way in about an hour. Nice guys no complaints read more

Clay's Service Center 138 W Main St. Mechanicsburg, Pa. 17055 Today I went in for inspection 3/18/2016 at 9am. Waiting, my van is sitting in the dock with no one around working on the inspection. Oh there he is working on another vehicle! OMG, while I am sitting here waiting! It has been an hour. They charge 76$ an hour. These people are the slowest " auto garage" I have ever experienced. Then he shows me a paper of an estimate of over 500$ for rear brakes, a caliper pin, a license plate light, & the battery tie down is loose. I don't know about you but that is outrageous. It has been 2 hours! I leave without 70$ & my inspection sticker! read more

Honestly, this place does not deserve 1 star. They're really rude. My car has a broken throttle cable. I took it to them saturday because they were the only place that would take it in. They said they can have it in and out saturday. Here we are on monday and this is when the issues occurred. I called the guy while on the clock to get pricing. He wanted $400 for a $50-$60 part new, and two hours of labor. I tried to explain to the guy that this is false. I'm 23 years old and Ive been doing mechanic stuff since i was like 9. I even worked in a shop in georgia before moving here. I know the cost of labor. I tried to explain to the man that my car is my only transportation to and from work. I work three different locations. I tried to explain that I literally only had $200 in my pocket for right now and I would give him extra when I got paid next in two weeks if he'd just fix it. He said "No, the car can not leave until paid in full" Then he wants to charge me $50. I asked why are you charging me if you didn't do anything. His response was "I looked at it" $50 for looking at a car is bullcrap. I also tried to explain that I am literally 23 years old, and Ive been on and off the streets since I was 16. Everybody literally disowned me, even the people in the church. Ive been homeless for two months busting my ass every single day at work. Doing opening shifts, closing, open to close, in between 3 stores. I been busting my ass to try and better my life and he said "I dont care" the dude could've at least fixed it and let me pay the $200 right now and the rest when I get paid. His exact words were "Im not doing shit for $200" It actually sounds about right $200. $50 part and two hours of labor $100-$150. Not to make this all about me but this place is NOT worth it. Unless you feel like being disrespected and over charged. Be my guest. But im literally out here in the streets dying. All i wanted was my car fixed and for the man to reason with me so I can at least keep my job so I can better my financial situation and life. Im busting my ass every single day for a better life and this is how I get treated? I desperately need my vehicle so I can keep making money to survive out here. The world is cruel to you when you're all by yourself. I came from Georgia in high hopes of bettering my life, praying to god every single day and showing a fake smile. I have no friends, no family. Nothing Im all alone and its so sad that people like him wont give someone whose in this situation a chance. Im not happy with them. They don't deserve even 1 star. When he told me pricing I knew for a fact that wasn't right. From the bottom of my heart guys. I DO NOT recommend this place unless you really wanna be disrespected and overcharged. That is all I have to say about this place. I didn't want to have to explain my situation but its the only way I could let people know about this place and what im going through personally. Its embarrassing I know but Im stronger now and stuff happens but this was not right at all. To anyone out there. Do NOT take cars there. Just dont it's not worth the hassle. God bless you all. read more

Our Truck broke down today We had to have it towed not knowing of any Garages in the area Clay's was closest I would not recommend them no way no how. He charged $477.97 for a front wheel bearing and hub.While waiting Id called to our local garages to check prices the highest price was $250.00 total.So when he gave us the total my husband questioned it. He told them we called and $250.00 was the highest price He told us he could not even get the part for that price. Called Napa there most expensive was $187.70 I am sure he got it for less. Then he told us it has a lifetime warranty. Napa told me when I called they have none with a lifetime warranty and did not know of any that did.Beimg an hour from home we had no choice but lesson today check the web for ratings This garage has a 2.5 rating now I know why. I only gave it a one because it's the lowest it goes.Also wrote out a check then he said I do not usually take checks. Then why have a sign that reads $20.00 return check fee on window.My feeling he took advantage of us because he knew we had to have it fixed read more

I cannot say enough positive about this business and Jim Clay. We were travelling home to upstate New York when our car overheated along the Interstate. I thought we had done some crazy serious damage to my well loved but old Subaru Legacy GT 2.5. Our Uber driver, who helped us to get car rental place, recommended this business. We had to rush back home for a college graduation, and leave the car to hopefully a trustworthy mechanic. Jim and mechanics involved were prompt, spot on for diagnosis and quote (cracked radiator), experienced, knowledgeable and respectful in continued conversation with me throughout the week. We picked up the car and drove several hundreds of miles home without any issue. The repair was expertly and meticulously completed at a fair price. Most highly recommend this business for locals and travelers alike! Thanks guys! read more

Took my car here to get an oil change, tail light bulb replacement and a diagnosis as to why my check engine light was on. The total for this "work" came to $268. My appointment was also made for a Wednesday when I'd be out of town so it would be done when I came back. Went to pick it up that Saturday and was told it wasn't done and, in fact, no work had been done on it because he had written down he had the car until Monday. I told him I might not be able to pick it up until Monday, not that he could work on it until then. The appointment was for Wednesday! So I was without my car for longer than expected and inconvenienced when the whole point was to have it done while I didn't need the car. Furthermore, they FINALLY called on Monday to say why the check engine light was on and they recommended an $800 repair job that we declined because we are moving to Okinawa, Japan in January and won't have our vehicles. He then told my husband for the work that had been performed our total would be $138. My husband went to pick up the car and was told $268 instead. I called for an explanation today and was told that the diagnosis cost $114 because it took an hour and a half and their fee is $76/hr for labor. How it takes an hour and a half to hook a car up to a code reader is beyond me. Also, $100 for an oil change and tail light bulb replacement seems mighty hefty to me. DO NOT take your car here unless you want to pay an arm and a leg and have miscellaneous charges and for them to lie about how long it takes to do something so that you end up having to pay more in labor. Just like most mechanics, they are swindlers and will rip you off for whatever reason. I am convinced that they decided to charge us more because we declined the $800 repair job. Make an appointment here at your own risk. read more
