I…read morefigured this was the perfect opportunity to give Rapco another try since Jason had been so gracious in his response to my first review. I did not go in an immediately ask for him, instead I let the transaction flow to see how I felt. I was treated very well by Fran and Bill at the front desk but what I truly appreciated the most was being taken into the installation area and shown exactly what the problem was and what it would take to fix it. A huge portion of the pipe was completely rotted through. After getting my estimate which was quite reasonable cuz I did do some research, I explained to Bill and Fran about my previous experience and they were completely apologetic and as gracious as Jason had been. My work took a little while but the accommodations were good. Rapco has a spacious waiting room so distancing was not an issue, a tv and plenty of magazines to keep you occupied. Very happy with my visit and plan on coming back for that Yelp check-in offer.

I was also able to take advantage of the financing program that gave me 100 days at 0% interest. That worked for me! I'm grateful to the people at Rapco for their courtesy and professional repair.

Joe Long operated this auto repair shop for decades. Joe passed away several years ago and the shop…read morehas been operated by a series of other people since he died. The good reputation of this shop is strictly based on Joe Long's supervision of mechanics, but that is long gone. Service there has significantly deteriorated since then. I miss Joe, as does my family fleet that once numbered five vehicles. Joe maintained them for about 25 years and I never had a problem with his mechanic's work. (I'm a "farm boy" with some mechanical and DIY skills, so please know that when you read this review.) I took my Prius there for annual inspection about a year ago, and reported no known problems on this highly reliable 2010 car with about 130K miles. They called me and said "It's in pretty good condition for its age and miles but many of the cushions in the suspension system are badly deteriorated and need to be replaced." The price, with inspection (which it already passed except for this issue) was $700. I told them "I have owned six Toyota's during my 60+ year driving career and all of them were very low maintenance and highly reliable, I drove each of them at least 150,000 miles and never needed any suspension work--not even to replace shocks or get a wheel alignment. I simply can not believe what you are telling me." They said to come pick up the car. When I did I saw elevated on a repair rack my neighbor's car with front and back suspension components disassembled and hanging--obviously as part of the process to replace these suspension component cushions. That auto was less than 1/3 the age of my car and I could not believe it needed this type of suspension work. I took my car to Midvale Auto in East Falls and it passed inspection without a problem. Avoid East Falls auto like the plague!

I didn't get notified of the diagnosis until 4pm and couldn't get my car back until the next day. The humming noise could not be identified and suggested I change a tie rod. I thought this was the issue. I called on Tuesday morning to get an estimated time to pick up my car I was told 3pm. I arrived on time at 3pm since I had to get to work that evening, I was charged for the tie rod and sent on my way. Driving back home, I noticed the humming sound was still there and even louder. I looked at the repair bill and it stayed that the humming sound was possibly from the rear differential and could cost upwards of 2k dollars, I was shocked they didn't tell me this in person when I picked up the car. I called to get more information on this and they told me they could not exactly point out the source of the humming sound and that they were only 70% sure it was the rear differential. For 2k I wasn't sure if I could trust them to do the repairs given my experience so far. I'm very disappointed with the lack of communication and lack of solution finding to the problem I walked in with. About an hour later, I didn't feel safe with the car driving as is and called back asking to go ahead with the rear differential repair. They told me that they will shop around for parts and give me a call back. It is now Thursday and have not heard back from the shop. Terrible service. Go somewhere else

What followed was a frustrating cycle of poor communication, unauthorized charges, and zero accountability. Communication Breakdown & Unauthorized Charges: After initially telling me it would be roughly $120 for a relay issue, they sent a text estimate totaling $520 without any explanation or request for approval. The text required me to check a box to authorize payment; as soon as I hit that checkbox, the estimate mysteriously vanished, leaving me with no digital copy. Despite confirming on the phone that my car would be ready, my friend and I drove 1.5 hours from Reading, only to arrive and be told it still wasn't ready. The Runaround & Dismissive Staff: They told us it would be another half an hour, so we went to dinner around the corner. When we returned an hour later, they told me I would have to come back in the morning instead. When I asked to speak to the manager, the employee pretended to look up the contact info on his phone while reciting the shop's own number from memory, telling me not to call back until the next day--all while smirking. Sudden "Fix" & No Proof of Work: The moment I demanded my keys back so AAA could tow it to another shop, my car magically became fine, and the excuse shifted to a "sensor" issue. I reluctantly paid the unauthorized $520, and they simply ran my card without providing an itemized receipt or any proof of what work had actually been done. I left feeling deeply unsafe driving my vehicle.
