Control arms, ball joints, trans pan gasket, oil pan gasket and coolant line. I work on my truck and maintain is religiously. ALL WERE FINE BUT THEY INSISTED I COULDN'T EVEN PICK IT UP TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE. My type of oil pan is an ABS pan that you can't just replace the gasket, you HAVE TO replace the whole pan because of the warp and chance of cracking if re-installed. They kept the same pan. Oil leaks and trans pan leaks less than a week later. Dropped it off a second time telling them all of this. Tom said "ok we'll take a look at it". One week later same leaks. He again says nothing more than "i'll take a look at it". Complete negligence at this point and i will be demanding a partial refund. Highly doubt they'll do anything though.

These 1 star…read morereviews are truly so opposite of everything I've experienced with both locations I almost feel like it's got to be a rival business or something. TJ and everyone at Michalak's in Harlerysville are honest, trustworthy, hardworking, beyond kind and caring! I've never had mechanics that look out for my safety and well being like a family member and aren't out to take every penny out of your pocket! I hope my detailed experience below helps you know Michalak's is not the 1 star people are leaving. I'm a woman who doesn't know anything about cars and when my car broke down I brought a car in cash from an unscrupulous man who said it was his late father in laws with low miles and good upkeep. I took it to Michalak's for inspection and they called me and told me I brought a disaster and I was devastated. TJ and the guys broke down all the repairs and work needed by essentials and worked super hard to help me afford to just get the car to pass inspection and be safe on the road to drive. They went out of their way to create a schedule for the repairs that fit what I could afford each month. As I drove the car and more things began to go wrong I called them with every knock or thump I heard and they always took my calls and advised me, TJ always said "call us anytime, we're never to busy to answer your questions and concerns and make sure you're safe when you're on the road!" I paid a little over $3,000 for the car and to pass inspection it cost $1,500 and it still had at least $2,500 in repairs to be done and when I called about the newest issue of the fuel tank being on empty but fueling would shut off after 2 seconds of attempting to put gas in! TJ didn't think 1 second about the money the shop could make but spoke to me honestly and told me to think about the money I'd already put into the car and what still had to be done. He told me as a mechanic that car was prone to issues and was a nightmare for the pocketbooks of owners and said he'd feel horrible taking my money and repairing a car that's constantly going to be in the shop with issues that tend to get worse as the years go by. Does that sound like a mechanic that's overpricing and breaking things so you have to come back? After that phone call I hit every form and video I could on that car and it's issues and undoubtedly would have spent at minimum $6,000-$8,000 in repairs had it not been for TJ's honesty and caring. That nightmare was a year ago! I ended up back in the world of car payments but couldn't be happier. My new car just began making noises and after doing digging on forums I thought it could be an issue with the sway bar link and of course I called TJ up right away and he just called me and told me everything's fine and he saw no issues. I know nothing about cars he could have said it was the sway bar link and charged me for work that never needed to be done but TJ and all the mechanic's at Michalak's don't treat their customers like that! They are honest, caring, kind men of integrity who take pride in their work and treatment of their customers. JT and the mechanics at Michalak's don't even know I'm ill, but my chemo port is directly above my sternum and I'm 5'1 so an accident with airbag deployment is lethal for me. Car repairs, maintenance, and safety literally are life and death to me and I will never take my car anywhere but Michalak's!

*** DO NOT RECOMMEND! ***…read more I always try to give my business to local/family owned shops. This time it was a mistake! I came to J's Auto Service for a routine state inspection and emissions check. Everything was fine other than a puncture in one of my tires and my brake lights being out. When I picked up my vehicle the odometer was up an additional 5 miles even though their invoice states there was no change in mileage. (Miles in 158,162, actual miles out 158,167 ( see attached photos)). This was odd but I didn't think anything of it since a road test is usually preformed. Fast forward to when I got the tire replaced at their shop/to get my other sticker for inspection. I picked it up after work and was a little surprised it costed $52.86 ($63.11 - $10.25 (state safety sticker)) for ONE tire. I started driving and realized my dashcam was unplugged. I contacted the shop and asked why this happened. I spoke with Christine who told me, "All we did was install your tire and check your brake lights". I go home and review the footage. I come to find out that they did indeed unplug my dash cam. Not cool. I also reviewed the footage from the day of my inspection. Prior to my vehicle ever being inspected, Jamie and Christine used my vehicle to pick up another customers car! They came back, inspected my vehicle and then conducted a road test. I paid for a state inspection/emissions test, not for them to use my car for their business. I will not be giving them my business after this and will not recommend them to anyone.

(The resulting clacking sound could indicate engine damage.) They tried to blame it on my engine burning too much oil but this has never been the case with my former garage. The person I spoke with was condescending, not believing and not at all interested in the possibility that I could have a valid opinion. Won't go back. I said "mixed proficiency" because I'd gone to them once in the past and it was fine - that wasn't an oil change, however. I'm very glad I was able to go back to my former garage and that I have that experience for comparison. I would say that they are on the defensive about their work, also that they have a greedy mentality, charging for "loaner" cars. Customer value is number 1 and along with that, valuing what your customer has to say about their experience.
