I would literally NEVER take my car anywhere else. These guys actually explain stuff so you understand any possible issues with your car, are more than affordable for ANY car (trust me, I've had a few over the years), and just know their craft better than most. Always friendly, and also open more than normal business hours to accommodate customers. Just overall good vibes in this shop, no doubt they are the best and it is easy to see why they have been so successful for multiple generations now!!!! Thank you to Joe & Drew for always being a reliable place to tackle any car challenges that inevitably come my way!!! read more

My Mini Cooper has gotten great care from Andy and his team for a decade. Last time I had it detailed when I got it inspected and it was like getting a brand new car back. read more

This may take a bit. My daughter is a senior in college, and I am 300 miles away. She had a noise coming from the rear. I told her that I just fixed the front brakes and that she probably needs "rear brakes". "Take it to a place near you, I am 300 miles away. She took it to Midas, and they proceeded to tell her she needed pads, rotors, and calipers all the way around. They never asked for the "lug nut lock key and said they needed to cut off all the studs and replace etc...$2900. The lug nut lock was in the glove compartment. I was ready to have a heart attack. I called them and told them (Midas) the front pads and rotors were just replaced. I personally just replaced the front pads and rotors 3 months ago and Midas proceeded to tell me that replacing everything was "recommended. After that, they lowered the price from $2900 to $2200. Really? $2200 to replace rear brakes on a 2008 Honda CRV....(I'm Sick) I could do it myself in a few hours and $200 in parts. I immediately looked for another mechanic in the area (even though I am 300 miles away). I saw Garrett Hill Auto service and called them with my predicament. I had already done the research for the cost of the parts, estimated labor and said to my daughter, "this should be no more than $600. And that is with markup, shipping costs etc....I texted my daughter and said there has to be someone that will give us a fair price. I was ok with even $800 at worst case I called Andrew from Garrett Hill Auto Service and explained my situation. I found him online and it appeared the reviews were from normal people like me. He told me to bring the car to him ASAP and he could look at within a week and that it sounded to him too like the Midas was on a mission to get the best of me. I am not made of money and the car was only worth $3000....for God sake. I called AAA and had car towed to his place from Midas within 2 hours. This was without an estimate but just a hunch that he sounded "Honest". (Thank you AAA) they used K&S towing. My daughter's car was safely at Garrett Hill by 5pm. Its was close, but Garret Hill stayed and waited for my car to be delivered (Thank You Hex), thank You So Much. K&S Towing said they take most vehicles to Garrett Hill and that they were the best. That tells you something and also made me feel better. So Anyway,,,I called Andrew this morning and he said the car was already fixed. Even though he originally told me he should be able to get to it early next week (today being a Friday before a BIG Snow Storm). He told me he would get back to me with the cost later in the day. Let's just say.... Garrett Hill Auto Service took care of me and my college attending daughter and saved me "well over" $1500 from what Midas was going to charge. Next day "Done". Daughter is back on road. My Daughter learned a great lesson. She was thinking that the "big box" stores are cheaper, safer, and better. What she learned is that when you find a small businessman like Andrew that is actually fair, does great work, and cares for us "normal people"...you need to make exceptions to the rule that they teach you in school. Keep these people in your mind, because they take care of us when others simply are looking for the extra $.... Thank You Andrew for what you have done for me and my family during this very difficult time as well. This is only my 2nd ever "review" of my life. Sometimes people need to know. And I hope you all Know now,... Garrett Hill Auto Service can be trusted. Even from a New England Fan at 300 Miles away. Cheers read more

Great find! It would benefit you to stop by this very friendly family owned auto shop. Stopped with a slow leak tire. Joe stopped what he was doing, took my tire off, dunked it and found leak right away. After some good conversation, I was back on the road in no time. I will be back for any future work I require. Thank you!! read more

Andy and Joe are terrific. They are very thorough and make sure the work is performed correctly. We've brought our cars in for new tires, inspection, oil change, nail in the tire, etc for at least the past 17 years. They've always been helpful and gotten us safely back on the road. I highly recommend Garrett Hill Auto. read more

The owner of the shop may do some good work and he may treat most people very well but the fact of the matter is he treated me terribly for absolutely no reason. The guy is a total bully and only because I'm not a big person did he give me this attitude. I honestly don't care if the guy goes out of business. read more

Andy is the best fast, reliable and always available when needed and plus, I live within walking distance so whenever I need anything some times I just walk down an they are always willing to assist. read more

I needed to do my yearly checkup on my car and i took it to the local dealership. They found some rust. Told me it would not pass the checkup and it was totaled. I was devastated. However, I went to Andy to get a second opinion and he found the rust to be unrelated to the car's functionality and passed me for inspection. They were easy to contact, extremely responsive! read more

Garrett Hill is honest, reliable, fast, kind, reasonable, and everything I could ever want from a mechanic; two guys who are real people like you, just interested in making sure your car runs well. Went to the Ardmore Toyota dealer because an alert light in my 2004 Prius was coming on when I was braking, walked out with a $2,600 laundry list of "recommended" parts/services, none of which seemed to address the problem I came in for. I called Garrett Hill and was greeted by the owner, who sympathized, and recognized that the dealership was basically just trying to sell me a whole new car. He kept my car overnight to check it out, and within a day he let me know just what needed to be worked on to keep my car running smoothly -- no trying to force bells and whistles. For less than half of the dealership's estimate, he did all the recommended fixes. Will absolutely recommend to anyone who wants an honest deal with honest businesspeople. read more

Great Auto Service! Andy gets what needs to be done and you feel your in good hands and paying a fair price. He is a great mechanic... we have been using him for 5 years ...he give you valuable insight on your car and we are always happy picking up our cars. read more

When you want guys who are only in it to get the job done for you, this is the place to go. No upselling, no pressure, no deception. I've been taking my cars here since 2004 and wouldn't consider going elsewhere. These are guys you feel comfortable asking questions and they'll try to give you an answer that makes sense to you. Highly recommended. read more

He tried to pick a fight with me because he was jealous saying I get counterfeit inspection stickers from another shop.

Look no further if you are looking for a honest repair! The only people that work here are the owner and one other mechanic. There's no parts department or service advisers to suck even more money out of you. You don't get any fancy invoices or anything like that. The guy hand writes invoices at the end of the day. He will be more then happy to go on a ride with you to diagnose your concern and will most likely life your car up on the lift while you are there to try and see what's wrong. He will look up your cars recommended maintenance schedule and follow it for you as well. My only tip is to make sure you specify what kind of parts you want. The guy is more then happy to get you oem parts if you request them. If you don't, you will probably get some no name brand that is still ok though. Do yourself a favor and drive past the shiny dealership service garages and come here. Sometimes he takes care of minor stuff for free and I've literally had to leave money on his desk because he won't take it (no joke). read more

Garrett Hill Auto Service is my place to go for anything dealing with my car. The owner, Andrew Tillman, is a nice guy who is very professional with outstanding business ethics; he will give you a straight answer about what's wrong with your car and what you should do--this place will never not give you your money's worth. The service here is great too, if you need something done within a certain time it will get done. I would definitely recommend this place. Also they have an adorable shop cat named Garrett who will cuddle with you! read more

These guys are so helpful. Came in for a smog. They helped me out right on the spot, helped me rifle through paperwork for my registration, and couldn't have been nicer. You can tell that they know what they are doing and they have such kind and positive attitudes. If I have any auto needs I will be coming back here. read more

Andy saved us. We were only in the area for the day when our battery died. He took us immediately, dealt with the annoying battery placement in my car and had us on our way within 30 minutes. Strangely we suddenly needed a bathroom for hub's elderly mother later that day, right as we were driving by, so he helped us twice. If I lived in the area, this would be my shop! read more

This guy was great. Something was squeaking everytime I turned the wheel and I'm new to the area so like an idiot I took my car over to Midas. They told me it'd be 600$ to fix. After researching the issue on Google I went into Garrett Hill with a little more knowledge hoping that the fact that I'm a 20 year old girl wouldn't mean they'd take advantage. He knew I was bluffing right away but still was extremely nice and honest. He was working the shop alone but still took me RIGHT AWAY. He told me the issue wasn't hugely serious and sent me on my way after telling me that if I decided to take care of it it would be $130. Including labor. These guys are amazing and just for that I AM getting it fixed to give him the business. Also he even opened up the shop early for me! These guys are amazing. read more

I've been here twice, once for an oil change and more recently for my first PA car inspection (jersey driver). I was so nervous that I'd be slammed with loads of unnecessary repairs on my 8 year old car, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear I didn't need anything. It's rare to find an honest, trustworthy (and reasonably priced) mechanic and I'm so glad I found one! Also, it doesn't hurt that there's a bar across the street so you can grab a bite or a beer while you wait. read more

My daughter goes to college near Garrett Hill Auto. A few weeks ago she called and said her LR2 would not start and every light on the dash was on. She called AAA who tried to start it and told her the car had major electrical problems. With her being so far away, I was not sure what to do and was ready to be seriously taken advantage of by some shop I did not know. After reading the Yelp reviews, I knew I could be comfortable having her car towed to Garrett Hill Auto. I called Andrew and he said he would be happy to look at it. One day later, he called me and said the car only needed a battery and was ready to pick up. It is a good feeling knowing there is now a shop I can trust near my daughter's school. I know my daughter has already referred Garrett Hill to a couple of her friends having car problems too. Thank you Andrew and the folks at Garrett Hill Auto! read more

Best service, and super honest! Andy is the best! I'd ding the guy a star, because he never shows up when the shop's supposed to open (I've waited numerous times), but the service they provide is so top-notch, i can't bring myself to do it. Andy (and team) does what it takes to "keep you rollin." read more

The coil on my #2 cylinder blew out causing it to drive really rough and the "check engine" light to come on. They diagnosed the problem, ordered and replaced the part, dropped in new spark plugs, and gave it a quick tune up with just an hour of labor (plus parts). The car runs as good as new. The best part: No attempt to up-sell me on other high-margin services and parts. Good vibes for this place! read more

Drove from out of state to purchase a car in the area & wanted to find a place to do a pre-purchase inspection. Garrett Hill was the only place close by that was open on Saturdays. I called beforehand & made sure they had time to look at it, they said to go ahead & bring it over. The guys were very nice, knew their stuff, & put it up on the lift to look things over as well as take it for a short test drive. They gave it a thumbs up & afterwards we had a nice chat before I let them get back to work. Best of all they were super cheap--especially compared to what places charge where I'm from. Wonderful experience, great guys, if I lived there I'd take all my business to them. A+++, highest recommendation! read more

I highly recommend this auto shop, they were honest guys who weren't in it to get money but to help a graduate student out by finding the cheapest and best way to fix her car. Thank you guys so much and I would come back in a heart beat!! read more

Our daughter had a problem with her car and based on reviews we had it towed to Garrett Hill. She is a student at Villanova and we are in NJ so we were hoping that we could find an honest person to help us out. Garrett Hill was the place. We felt as thought they took care of her with the same care that they would take care of their own family! First problem was last year and we returned again this year with another problem and we had the same first class service! Thank you Andrew and Joe!! read more

Initially they said my car will be ready in a few hours assuming I was dropping it off. But I told them I would be waiting and didn't have a ride so they took it in right away and I was in and out for an oil change in less than 30 min on an early Thursday afternoon. Very friendly, polite and nice! Will definitely be going back! read more

Having your college student 2 hours from home break down is definitely not an ideal situation, but finding these guys made the situation much easier! Very helpful and quick to get her car fixed and back to her! Thank you so much! Can't say how grateful we are know there is dependable mechanic so close. read more

My son is a Villanova student and needed work done on his car. Living in CT we didn't know of a reputable mechanic in the area. After checking Yelp, he tried Garrett Hill and he cannot say enough good things about his experience. They were knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. They fixed his issues quickly and inexpensively. Their hours are quite convenient. If he ever needs any more work done on his car in the future he will definitely be back there. Highly recommend them. read more

My car died behind my store in Bryn Mawr. Garrett Hill came out - jumped it - after 6 pm - about five minutes after I called. I told the guy I had a credit card and he said he couldn't run it through in his truck - "just bring it tomorrow". Who does that? What great people. They will get my business from now on. read more

Outstanding service. Great prices. Andy and Joe run an old fashioned service station where the customer always comes first.
