This shop is now called Jimmy's Auto Repair…read more It used to be Vaughn's Auto Shop (aka Quality Shop & Tire), and let me say this clearly, it was the ONE mechanic in the area you could actually trust. Fair prices, honest work, and a constant stream of cars coming in and out. People didn't just go there because it was convenient, they went there because they knew they wouldn't get taken advantage of. Senior citizens trusted Vaughn, including my mother, because they knew he would never rip them off or steer them wrong. Vaughn, to me, will always be one of the kindest, most decent men I've ever known. He took care of my mother and her cars for over 20 years. I remember calling from California to check on her, and every single time, she was getting solid advice, fair pricing, and real care when it came to her car. That kind of consistency is rare. I will never forget how well he and his team treated her. Fast forward to today. Vaughn passed away a few years ago, and his loss was deeply felt in this community. With him, it feels like the heart of that shop went too. The business is now run by Jimmy and his daughter. And the difference is noticeable. Where there used to be a steady flow of customers and cars waiting to be serviced, now the lot is often empty. My mother and I both had a very different experience there recently, and I'm going to be very direct about it. The treatment was rude, cold, and dismissive. It made the entire interaction very uncomfortable. My mother, who lives on a fixed income, tried to ask if there was any flexibility on pricing for a relatively small repair. The answer was no, and it felt final. No effort to work with her, no understanding of her situation. And that's where it really hits. Vaughn would have worked with her. He understood people. He understood that for someone on a fixed income, even a small unexpected expense can throw everything off for months. What used to feel like a place that cared now feels transactional and indifferent. For long-time customers who supported this business for decades, the shift is hard to stomach.

If you want a nice waiting room with coffee and doughnuts, this place is not for you. I would never have stopped there if I hadn't read many positive reviews.

Employees have been with him for years.

The filter cover was not installed and was just laying in side the glove box and the top cover of the glove box was dangling in side the glove box. I live about 10 miles away so instead of driving back I watched an online video on how to reinstall it. If there mechanic didn't know how to do it he should find out and not try to hide the repair. It was sloppy work.

Then they charged me for two hours labor and parts $459.... could have got same work done at Pep Boys for $350. They don't have a window so you can see what the mechanics are doing. They just go in and out of the door, like they really care. A few months ago I took a car that i wanted to drive to Penna to keep it there. I wanted it checked over so it was safe to drive. . I got there but the car left me sit in a snowstorm in the middle of the road...a sensor was bad. They never caught it. My PA mechanic found wires that were not soldered and were starting to burn from exposed metal. Could have caused a fire. I took the wires to them after he spliced it and showed them where they were burned.. they just said "oops sorry". One of the hoses was completely rotted and should have been caught. They never offered a reimbursement for any of it. I will go back to Pep Boys next time. They
