Larry's Auto Repair

Last Friday, coming home from Delaware - I thought something was wrong with my brakes - my SUV was…read moremaking awful sounds and I felt like I was driving on a rough road. When I got home I could smell something burning under my car. I called the local Ford dealer (who has been servicing my vehicle for 10 years). They told me they were too busy and could schedule me the next Friday (a week away). They had inspected my vehicle in July and apparently didn't check the brakes! Note: I will never use their service department again! I was upset and decided to find a mechanic near me. I did a Google search for a local auto service and found Glenolden Service Center (a mile from my home). I talked to Kenny (after I hung up from the Ford dealer) and he told me to bring my SUV in on Monday. it was the best decision I've made in awhile!! After Kenny fixed what was wrong and completely checked and fixed/adjusted what should have been done before - I drove a quiet and safe vehicle home!! Thank you Kenny - for listening, caring and doing an outstanding job! I will definitely have you take care of my vehicle. I'm so very happy and impressed with your excellent service!

Listen. LISTEN. If you are considering hiring this "mobile mechanic," please pause, take a deep…read morebreath, and maybe lie down, because what I'm about to describe is not for the faint of heart. This man rolled up to my driveway in a van that looked like it had already lost a fight with a tornado, a raccoon, and possibly its own sense of self-worth. He hopped out, spilled an entire soda, and said, "Don't worry, that happens." Sir. SIR. Why is that your greeting?? He opened my hood, nodded like he was understanding the secrets of the universe, then poked a totally random part and said, "Yep, that's your problem." When I asked what the problem was, he said and I quote, "Mechanic stuff." Thirty minutes later my car was making a new sound I can only describe as "haunted dishwasher screaming into the void." I asked him if that was normal and he said, "Cars make noises." Then he charged me an amount of money so offensive I think it might be a hate crime against my bank account. He drove away. My car died. In the same moment. Like they were spiritually connected and my car couldn't continue living after witnessing whatever he did to it. If you hire this man, may the automotive gods have mercy on your soul because he WILL NOT. i would give zero stars but, Yelp refuses to let me express the true depth of my suffering.

Basically we were side swiped. I put out a project on yelp asking for a mechanic. Dave messaged me…read moreand said he would come out that night to take a look. Hours go by and he never showed. Finally that morning he came by. Told us the issues and told us what parts to get. We paid him $250 to buy the parts and $200 in labor. Not only did he get junked parts but none of them were good. I asked him to at least refund us for the money we paid in the parts. So he stopped responding. DO NOT USE THIS MECHANIC. He took our car parts and sold them for cash and our car still isn't running. We've had to have another mechanic take a look and begin to work on the car. This was a very unpleasant experience I wish on no one.

They also allowed me to pay them over the phone because they saw that I had been a frequent visitor over the last couple of months, and I didn't have my credit card with me when my window broke.

This is one of a handful of small businesses in the area that I actually feel comfortable at. I drive out of my way to get gas here to support them. You should come and see for yourself and hopefully do the same. These guys picked up where Tom and Nick left off--courteous, honest, and hard-working. I have already been to them numerous times for gas, oil changes, inspections, repairs--all of which were handled with care. Chris, with whom I spoken on a number of , is professional and positive, something that makes the experience of going here more pleasant.

This rating is not based on their service, as I was unable to take advantage of that. Instead, this…read morereview is for their communication, or lack thereof. I have been trying for months to reach this business by phone, and have not had one phone call returned, despite leaving a couple of messages. I finally decided to try reaching out through Yelp. I thought that I'd finally made some headway, as shortly after filling out the form, I received a response with a list of their services and their prices. But it turns out that was merely an automated system response. Where it gets worse is I responded with the service that I would have liked. . . But crickets. Even though Yelp showed that my message was "Read". I gave them a few days, assuming that they were just busy. But I can't believe that a business can be so busy as to not provide at least an acknowledgement. My final communication was reaching out to thank them for their initial automated response and mentioning that I assume they have no availability. And again. . . crickets. The final straw was the notification that my message on Yelp had indeed been received and "Read", yet still ignored. I really wanted and tried to support this women-owned business, but I am extremely disappointed in their lack of communication. Reply to Business Owner's Response: A quick search of my cell phone's call history shows that I did in fact call the correct number. The screenshot below shows that I have been trying to reach out to you since May 2025. And if you look closer, you will see that each of the icons are outgoing calls. Not one call back was ever received from you, despite the voicemail messages that I left. Additionally, I still have my landline, so a couple of calls were also made using that phone number. However, I don't feel that it's necessary to provide a screenshot of those call records. After my last call of October 28, 2025, I finally reached out to you through Yelp in November 2025, which leads us to this review. Thank you for your response to my review, although I wish that I could have received a proper response outside of this forum. Good luck to you in the future.

From the second I walked into Keenan I realized that every interaction that the staff has with…read moretheir clients is conducted in a way that guarantees that the client walks away not only satisfied, but feeling special. Seriously. I got in a car accident on a Tuesday night and my insurance company set up a 9:30 appointment at Keenan for Wednesday to assess the damage to my car. I got to Keenan early, and the receptionist, Sue, told me that it was absolutely no problem at all and that they'd check out my car immediately. Todd came out, took a million pictures of my car, disappeared for a minute, and then came back with an estimate to repair the damages. Everything looked good to me, so I went back to Sue to set up a time to drop my car off for repairs. She worked extensively with the folks at Enterprise to get me a rental car in the most convenient way possible for me. I mean, this woman was fighting for them to pick me up at my house at 7:30am so that I could get to work on time, and I didn't even tell her that I had to be at work on time! She was a bulldog fighting for me when I didn't even ask! She also allowed me to drop my car off on a Sunday night when no one was there, and then Todd faxed me the paperwork that you'd typically fill out when you drop your car off to fill out on Monday morning. They made everything extremely convenient and worked around my every desire. Throughout the repair process I got text message updates and phone calls from Todd. He would update me with things like, "your car is finished getting painted and is now moving on to reconstruction." One of the texts I got was something like, "Your Volkswagen is happy to be here! We're taking good care of it until it comes home." It was nice to know where my car was, what was being done to it, and the estimated date of completion. Keenan made everything seriously so easy for me. This was the first car accident I've ever been in, and, dare I say it? - it was actually not a headache at all!! The 5-day repair estimate actually ended up only taking three days, and I couldn't be more pleased. My car came back to me in better condition than it was before the accident, and was detailed and everything. I think they even polished my tires! I've been nagging my husband to get my car detailed, and he's a procrastinator so he hasn't done it. Of course getting in a car accident isn't ideal, but the folks at Keenan deserve an A++++++ for service with a smile :-) -End cheesiest Yelp review I've ever written.-
