A friend recommended this place. The hours said they open at 8 so I arrived around 830a on a Monday to try to be one of the first customers. However the gas station clerk told me the tire person doesn't usually arrive until 930. I went to a nearby tire shop instead. read more

I had high hopes but unfortunately this experience was a bust. I recently purchased a pre owned vehicle and needed a state inspection. Despite scheduling an appointment for Friday morning, my car was not worked on for a few days. However the larger issue was the quote coming in around 6k with reports that they would need several weeks to complete the work if I chose to proceed. I still had to eat $200 for a routine oil change at PA Tire and Auto but Heilman's down the street took care of my issues for 1/3 the price. Happy to report the vehicle is running smoothly and passed inspection with flying colors. read more

Since ~2018, I have been a customer of PA Tire & Auto and in these past five years, I have consistently received quality service and honesty from the team of mechanics and managers. The last time I called to schedule an appointment I learned that my favorite manager, Matt Talley was promoted and no longer at the Ardmore location. I was bummed and thought this was a sign that I should stop making the drive out to the suburbs for my car needs. I did some research and found a place in the city for my next inspection and oil change. I decided to do some additional reading of Yelp reviews and discovered this place was overpriced and reported to be dishonest. The pricing compared to what I had been paying at PA Tire & Auto was astronomical and that was enough to make the trip out to the suburbs worth it. I am so glad that I changed my mind and ultimately took my car to PA Tire & Auto in Ardmore again. I called to make my appointment and was able to schedule for the next day. They were able to accommodate my need to wait for my car and have even upgraded the seats in the waiting area so I had an easy time getting my work done. During my appointment, I was lucky enough to meet the new manager Bram. He is everything that I have come to know and expect at PA Tire & Auto - friendly, honest, and clear in communicating everything that a customer needs to know about their car. My car passed inspection but I was made aware about the future need for new tires. My tire pressure has been consistently low, so I suspected a leak going into the appointment. Bram explained that it was not urgent, and provided me with an estimate so I could prepare for the cost when the time comes. Another perk that really saved me is that they accept Apple Pay. I was in a rush to leave the city in the morning and completely forgot my wallet. Luckily, this did not end up being an issue. At this point, I can confidently say I will be a loyal PA Tire & Auto customer for life. read more

I dropped off an essentially a new car to Philadelphia Tire & Auto at the Exxon on Montgomery Ave for a PA inspection and to rotate the winter tires with summer tires. In the 8 hours in which the car was in their custody, it suffered $2500 of damage. The desk attendant who was friendly at the drop off was cool when I came to pick it up. Paid for it; got the keys; found they had it parked in front of one of the gas pump bays and saw it had been badly scrapped along the passenger side. They claimed surprise and stated somehow a third party must have side swiped the car while getting gas. Here's where the real problem begins. Despite my repeated requests in phone and in person. And despite police requests. They never produced the security camera tapes that the shop attendants claimed only the owners had access to. They kept saying they would and after two months they haven't. Nor have they offered to help me with my expenses to fix the damage, or help with added costs in not having my car for a month while it's in the back logged autobody shop. Not even a call to apologize. Nothing - silence. It makes you wonder what the security tapes actually show? If another customer in fact damaged my car while parked, you'd have a chance to see it on tape; maybe get the license or identify the individual from a credit card used at the pump. And seeing how busy the station is, it's odd nobody saw the side swipe and mentioned it to staff? Even believing the story, why park just-serviced cars in front of active bays where people are coming and going to pump gas! I get there isn't a lot of parking - but this practice is just asking for trouble. Whatever the real story, the complete lack of customer service, accountability and even courtesy communication means do yourself a favor and look elsewhere to get service done. It's a shame because I've been happy with the work done previously on my other car. But you can't take a customer's car, return it damaged a few hours later and then say: "not my problem." read more

My stars go to the mechanics who fixed my car. The guys and gals you may never see. The customer service at the front desk was less than desirable. I had been bringing in my car back and forth over a few weeks for repairs and inspection, and the one employee that was pleasant ended up not working there anymore when I ended my experience there. I know customer service, and I know frustrating customers - it's not your job to tell a frustrated woman that you are frustrated that you have to repeat yourself to her. It's not your place to tell me you think we don't get along - those kinds of comments don't help, they just make you look defensive and unable to handle stressed customers. It's not an argument, and it's not about you; you don't have to tell customers about your feelings - that's what venting to other people later on is for. The car works well, but I won't be going back. read more

Came by today for an oil change and was in and out in a few hours. They are competitively priced locally and was satisfied with the service. I've come here for a state inspection and had no issues. Although they may close early, you can pick up your car after hours at the gas station cashier. Really convenient and close by to the Haverford/Ardmore rail station if you're heading to the city to drop off you car. read more

My review is based on my husband's experience today at Pennsylvania Tire and Auto shop. Last night, I realize that there was nail stuck in my tire and it is supposed to snow today. This morning my husband took my car and called multiple places near Ardmore and tried to get a morning appointment before work. He could not find anyone that can take him in the AM and ended up driving to the Pennsylvania Tire and Auto Center. When he got there, they took the car right away and after 15 minutes, they patched up the tire and it was free of charge! It was already stressful to find a place for my tire before the snow and Pennsylvania Tire and Auto solved our issue in 15 minutes! I definitely recommend this place!! read more

Should be 0 stars. Made an appointment and wouldn't do said service when it came time for the appointment. Don't waste your time, give somewhere else a shot. read more

Came in roughly two years ago for an oil change. Matt and I believe his name is Rob (sorry) we're so friendly and helpful that I've come back any and every time my car needs service. read more

This place is under new ownership in the past year and the difference is like night and day. Poorly staffed, messy dropoff procedures, slow service but most of all making up service that was needed and then coming up with inflated prices that are completely different from what they advertise. Belligerent about it too. Was an honest and reliable shop and now one to avoid. read more

Brought my 2019 Audi in for a state inspection and was told I needed new tires and my shocks were leaking. So I replaced the tires and took it to another shop for the state inspection. The other shop didn't see any issue with my shocks and passed the inspection. read more

Prompt, professional and polite. Great service and fair and honest pricing. Finding a trustworthy and reliable place for service can be daunting, but these guys are brilliant! I was referred to them by others who had positive experiences as well. read more

Have been coming here for several years. Not only is the shop highly qualified, but they are prompt, professional, courteous, and friendly! It is very easy to schedule service, and our vehicles are always ready when promised. Top notch! P.S. there is a tech named Terrell who does excellent work down to the details. read more

About a week ago I was in a bind. I needed 2 new tires on the back of my Jeep very badly. I usually purchase the tires from my dealer, as they always gave me a decent price. The dealer didn't have time for me. Pissed me off, but that's what dealers do, right. I called a bunch of different tire places. Some didn't have the tires I needed and wanted me to come back the next day, and others just couldn't fit me into their schedule, but I needed to drive somewhere far for work and I could not wait until tomorrow. I found Pennsylvania Tire & Auto on google and explained my situation to them. They had my tires in stock but were super busy. I told the girl who answered that I really needed the tires and asked if there was any way they could fit me in. I got a call back a few minutes later from the manager named Matt. He told me to come in and he would take care of me. Not only was his service amazing, but he saved me a total of around $100! Yes, his price for the tires were lower than every other place I called! Thank you for the awesome service and excellent prices! You have a new customer that will be coming back again. THANK YOU!!! read more

Great service on all levels. I would 100 percent recommend this business for your vehicle repair and maintenance needs. I had my flat tire serviced and the crew went above and beyond to ensure my vehicle was safe and ready to get back on the road. read more

I have worked with PA Tire several times and they are absolutely the best around. They get me in and out quick and are always honest about the repairs my car needs. In fact, they let me know how urgent the repair is, and given me the option of doing it today or at my next oil change. As long as I am in the area, they will always get my service! P.S. shoutout to Matt - always greets me with a smile when I come in read more

Here's a shoutout to Pennsylvania Tire and Auto Repair at Woodside and Montgomery in Ardmore. On my way out of town my low tire light went out and I pulled right in. They took me immediately, replaced the valve and took out 2 nails... when I asked for the bill, I was told ZERO because they like me as a customer. ~!! :) I was floored. It's also a hot spot for WIFI so waiting is easy . I strongly recommend this repair station for car repairs and general service. (The gas is high there but I think the repair area is a different entity. ) This is a great place for great service and I also buy my tires there. They are competitively priced and the staff is friendly ( and vaccinated~!!) Color me happy. read more

My first time visiting this place and I was very impressed with the professionalism and how they handled my car problem. I will definitely be back! read more

I brought 2 cars there for alignment, I had to bring the one car back because it was still pulling to the side. I called back to see what they can do, said bring it in and we'll look at it. Gave keys and waited for over an hr (1hr 10 mins) didn't ask/bother them but after that with NO ONE coming to say what' they're doing or how long, I made the mistake of asking, where are we at?? The guys turned looked at me, turned away and one guy, says "huh where we at.."I talked with the owner and he starts with well the guy is hard of hearing and it's loud back there maybe they didn't hear you, I told them what just happened and instead of saying, they have to do this or that, he goes off on me and keeps arguing about, how long I've been there, they need to do this, you can't expect if you take a car in and to be watched over and be done, I said all I asked was where we are at, I've been here for over an hr and NOBODY has said anything about the car until now..he said well it sometimes takes longer than an hr, I said I know I was here for 11/2 hrs the other day to have it done and I had to come back! Nothing but him wanted to fight with me and he said we're done take you car we're not working on it anymore I said you can't do that and after I've payed, he ignored me told his guys to take it off the lift, I called police and final result..got my money back and will never ever go or recommend this place to anyone! Also if you have a coupon, forget it, he's says " I've already discounted the price" but when you call the wk before for pricing, he quotes $99.95 and NEVER mentions a discounted price! Just not a reputable place that I could honestly recommend!! Buyer beware read more

Matt is the best guy ever. You rarely have to wait to get your car in. And if you do it's never more than a day. His prices are unbelievable, and he is honest. He will give you an estimate of how long something can go, and has never tried to up sell me on anything. All of my friends and coworkers come here, even if they don't live in the area. read more

Just the best place for car repair- Service, quality, and price. No need to go anywhere else and most importantly honesty on what the car need! read more

This place is amazing, great customer service, honest, reliable, high quality of service. Matt the Manager is exceptional at his Job. As a customer here I get the high quality of care and work without having to pay maindership cost. I have been a customer for more than two years here, where I've had regular oil services, general repair work to replacing wear and tear items. I had my AC repaired here, I manage to save over $1,000. Other places had quoted me over $1,400 to have this repair. Highly recommended, this place will look after you. read more

I went because I thought I needed to patch up a tire. The guy who helped me, Calvin, price matched for me. And when I got to the shop, they offered to do it for free! Awesome and fast service, friendly staff. read more

Would give 6 stars if I could. Calvin, Rob, and Matt provide outstanding service and very fair prices. Honest and high quality auto service for my cars, family, and friends. No need to ever go anywhere else. read more

These guys are great. Not surprising why they are busy. I went there for a slow leak on my tire. After less than 20 minutes, Robert gave me the piece of screw that was stuck in my tire. They just removed it and fixed the tire. And all this was free of charge !! I was nicely surprised and really appreciate their prompt and efficient service. Thank you Robert and the team. I would definitely come back and recommend this place. read more

I get the sense that they are honest and no BS. Fixed my fiat and didn't try to oversell me. Only wish that it was easier to schedule sooner. read more

This is a business that goes out of its way to help people! I am a professional musician and walking out to see a flat tire on the way to a dress rehearsal was potentially disastrous. The management and mechanics went out of their way to help me get to my rehearsal and then they took great care in fixing my tire. A well-run business with principles is exceedingly rare but the same business that actually cares about people is almost impossible to find. Pennsylvania Tire and Auto is that and more. They serve as a model for how a business should treat a first-time customer and they have earned my loyalty and gratitude. Many many thanks!!! read more

Recently moved from Oregon. After a negative experience at the place we got our first car inspected, I tried this one for our second car. The staff was helpful and friendly. They got through the inspection and oil change (killed two birds with one stone) in a reasonable amount of time (just over an hour). I definitely plan to be back with other car maintenance. read more

Went through inspection and a brake repair service. Matt, the manager, was extremely friendly and treated me as a part of the family. Was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of service and a timely manner it was done. At the same time paid the lowest price possible. This is the auto shop with exceptional service you can trust, and I will be coming back for all my car needs. read more

This was our second visit to PA tire's Ardmore location. The courtesy and service that we received was second to none. Having been an automotive professional myself I especially appreciate great service. I highly recommend them for any service or maintenance needs. read more

This place is fantastic. I would be hard pressed to find a more honest, quick, and down right friendly shop. The first time I went in I had a blown front tire that I replaced as a pair. I had just moved to the area from Texas and was between jobs and the attendant gave me some money off on the tires to help me out which was above and beyond what they needed to do. Even when I was was waiting they gladly gave me a free drink out of their cooler which was a nice touch. 4 months later I had another blowout that they patched for free! Couldn't be happier with the service Matt provided. You all have my business! read more

One of the reasons I love living in Ardmore is this place is a 10 min walk from my apartment. I recently had a screeching noise coming from a wheel well (I swear to Jeebus there was a noise). They put it on the lift and saw nothing. Drove it around and heard nothing. It was probably a pebble or something that fell out when the car was on the lift. Didn't charge me for their time, and I offered. And this isn't the first time they've done something along those lines in the four years I've been taking my car to them. These guys are awesome. I've never once had the feeling they were pressuring me to get a service I didn't think I needed or any of that kind of stuff. If you live near them and you're going to dealerships...idk what to tell you. read more

Great service at reasonable price. Manager is honest and wouldn't recommend unnecessary work. Will come again.

I got my oil changed here about 2 months ago through a very generous Groupon offer, and this past week I had brake work done on both axles. This is overall a phenomenal auto repair center to work with - being greeted joyfully when calling to ask questions/making an appointment, being welcomed upon walking into the shop (same entrance as the Exxon store), feeling truly respected by the sales manager Chirag, encountering very fair prices, and of course getting great, quality service done on my car! Truly a great experience, awesome customer service, and superb work. I plan on returning for all of my auto repair/tire purchasing needs! read more

Great place - Matt is so polite and always helpful, great service! Reasonable oil changes and inspection.

The staff was friendly, informative, and efficient!! My car was quickly assessed, the service needed was thoroughly explained to me, and my car was quickly serviced. read more

DON'T DO IT! I went in for inspection and oil change at the Lansdowne (really Upper Darby) location. I was told I needed my wheel hub bearing replaced. Afterwards my ABS light came on. My breaks sounded awful Now I have problems I didn't have prior. Bottom Line After 19 hours,two days off work 3 additional attempts for them to fix it & $395 spent. Another mechanic found a bolt missing and another loose, in my brake caliper housing where they had worked and the old wheel hub bearing they replaced wasn't broken to begin with.When I asked for a refund they offered to only pay cover the cost of the new bolts. In the process of filing small claims case when calling to get official name and address from the state I was told the only Pennsylvania Tire and Auto registered with the state is the one in Ardmore????? DO NOT go to the Lansdowne location, not competent at best and shady at worst! This was dangerous and honestly, I rarely complain but this experience has been a nightmare! read more
