    This shows there is at least 4/32" of tread left at the lowest point on the tire

    I had a really disappointing experience at Glanzmann Subaru and would strongly caution others before going there for inspection or service. They failed my PA inspection on a 2023 Subaru Forester with only 27,000 miles -- not for anything remotely serious, but for extremely minor issues that felt more like an excuse to upsell than legitimate safety concerns. First, they failed the car over a tiny nick on a windshield wiper blade that was still fully functional, and then quoted $55 to replace it. They also claimed my tires needed to be replaced immediately and quoted $445 for mounting and balancing two tires -- all based on a very small cosmetic mark on the tread. The tires still have measurable tread (around 4/32") and no structural damage or exposed cords. I've attached photos of the exact tire they failed so others can judge for themselves -- there is a small mark, but nothing that reasonably justifies failing a state inspection. When I questioned it, they pointed to "state requirements," which is misleading at best. PA inspection rules are clear about what actually constitutes a failure, and this didn't meet that threshold. The overall impression I got was that they are actively looking for the smallest possible issue to fail your inspection so they can sell you overpriced repairs on the spot. I understand safety matters -- but this felt like a business model, not a safety standard. I will not be returning, and I'd recommend others consider a more honest, independent shop for inspections. Response to Owner: I'm going to respond directly because your reply misrepresents both the situation and Pennsylvania inspection standards. At no point did I make "threats." I stated that I would share my experience publicly -- which is exactly what I am doing now. That's not a threat, that's transparency. More importantly, your claim that these were "clear failures under PA inspection guidelines" is simply not accurate. Under PA inspection regulations (67 Pa. Code §175), a tire fails if: Tread depth is below 2/32", Tread wear indicators are flush with the tread in two adjacent grooves, or Ply/cord is exposed or there is structural damage. None of those conditions were present. The tire in question has approximately 4/32" of tread remaining, with no exposed cords or structural damage. The small cosmetic mark your team identified as "secondary rubber" is not listed anywhere in PA inspection code as a failure condition. Similarly, a fully functional wiper blade with a minor nick does not constitute a clear failure unless it cannot properly clear the windshield. Mine was operational. Saying these were "clear failures" under state law is misleading. At best, your team applied an overly conservative internal standard -- which is your choice -- but that is very different from a legal requirement. What is more concerning is that you, as the owner, are publicly standing by these decisions. That suggests this is not an isolated judgment call by a technician, but a broader, systemic approach at Glanzmann Subaru to interpret inspection standards in a way that benefits the service department. When minor or borderline items are failed and immediately paired with high-cost replacements ($55 for wipers, $445 for two tires), it creates the appearance of an upsell-driven inspection process rather than an objective one. I fully understand that licensed inspectors must follow the law. My issue is that the law is being incorrectly cited to justify decisions that go beyond what is actually required. I stand by my original review, and I've provided photos so others can judge for themselves.

    Car #2 just purchased from Glanzmann. Everything went as expected. No curveballs thrown! If you remember, definitely ask for Liz Gross for your salesperson! She explained different options to us and after "settlement" spent more than an hour with us showing us how to operate this super computer on wheels. Received follow up text from Liz too. Love our new 2022 Subaru Outback Touring! Luxury and safety perfection! We will absolutely go to Glanzmann Subaru for our next car! Good luck in your new upcoming showroom, service center. Looks amazing!

I wanted to write this short review as a follow up on the great service provided by Tom & son's at their great establishment. So, I went into Philly a few weeks before the big snow storm and possibly hit a speed bump, and possibly caught some air with a not so smooth landing. Two weeks later we had the biggest storm of the year. I had to leave my home and I drove on a street near my home that hadn't been plowed yet. After that I started hearing a scratching sound every time I left my driveway and occasionally on the road. When I checked I saw I had dented a panel that covers the front end of my car. I decided to head to Tom's one day while doing some errands to see if he could take care of it. Just a pop-in. I told what had happened and he could actually see it from just looking under, so he can let me know when to bring it in and all that. He figured the part and asked if I had bought it already cus I did bring him my fog light before. He remembered. So I told him no, he'd have to order it. He said to bring it in and they'd use the lift. In my head I was like, really now?! Cool! A young man I believe his son, asked for my keys and drove it in and put it on the lift. He said the damage was minimal and nothing else seamed to be at all. He took out the panel and reworked it back to normal. The whole experience was only about 20 min and the cool part was they let me stay inside while doing it! They brought the car down and asked Tom "How much I owe'ya?" He said "Nah, don't worry about it." I said really? Let me at least give you something for lunch or something for you guys. And he said you're good don't worry about it. I thanked him with a firm handshake and hug and thanked his son as well and went about my day. It was a minor thing but it had a world of difference to me, not only that he didn't charge but just giving that feeling of how my fellow man could help me out in a time of need. I was very relieved because had that not been fixed other issues could arise (Think of Newman when he hit that sewing machine on the highway) that's what I was worried about. Hahaha! This business is truly in my heart and should be in yours too, so stop in, they are local! I said I'd be visiting them again, and I was riiight! :)

    Willow Grove Automotive

    (24 reviews)

    I'll start this review by saying that in my opinion Willow Grove Auto is THE BEST automotive…read morerepair/maintenance location in this area by FAR! For years my boyfriend, mom and I had been taking our cars to places like Pep Boys. Where the service was average, the cost was pretty steep, and well, it's overall just very impersonal. Half the time I felt like there would be a major problem WITH my car AFTER taking it to them for something routine. Luckily, about 8 years ago we found Willow Grove Auto. And I can never imagine taking our vehicles to anyone else now. First off, its a family run business located right by the Willow Grove Mall. The owner Bernie is a great guy who clearly prides himself on giving customers excellent care, fantastic customer service, and the best price he can give you. In fact, there are always deals or specials, like coupons for inspection, etc. The mechanics there are AMAZING. They are VERY experienced and are great at both older cars (like mine which is a 99 Plymouth Voyager) or newer vehicles. So many times I have described a problem over the phone or when dropping off the car and before they even look at it, they have a good idea of what the problem may be, and what I can expect to pay. They are also excellent at figuring out more complicated issues. I've run into some pretty odd issues with my van after a car accident and they do everything to take care of the problem at a very reasonable price. There's been many times when we have needed help in an emergency. For example, we got a flat tire while leaving for a vacation. We dropped by and they were able to fix it within a half hour so we could get on our way. Growing up I always heard things like "you can't trust mechanics". Or since I am a girl "Make sure you bring a man with you when taking your car in". LOL These statements are just RIDICULOUS when it comes to Willow Grove Auto and do not even SLIGHTLY apply. They do EVERYTHING they can to give you a fair price, an honest evaluation. I can't tell you how many times they have talked to me and explained EXACTLY what they were going to do so I wasn't in the dark. They are always upfront and honest. If they recommend something, it means you need it. These guys aren't gonna go and sell you new tires just to make money if you don't need them. But they WILL do everything they can to keep your vehicle up and running smoothly and safely. And finally, they make the experience simple and pleasant. Everyone is friendly. They take the time to get to know their customers and familiarize themselves with your needs. I'm often surprised by how much they remember without even looking up the details in the system! They also know money is tight for me, so they ALWAYS call with an estimate before doing anything major to the vehicle. I could go on and on about how great they are but rather than do that, I urge you to take your vehicle to them just once. Because I have a feeling that after one visit, you will never want to go anywhere else again. Thank you to everyone there for being so great!
