Continues to be my go to mechanic for my cars. Always great service at a reasonable price.

I had brought my car in to another shop nearby to take a look at the AC, but they wouldn't run their tests because I had tried a freon recharge. Nas was totally fine with it, though, and didn't charge me to take a look. Based on the volume of cars in the lot, I thought it would be all day before I'd hear anything, but he got back to me pretty quickly, let me know I needed a new compressor, and gave me a quote. Finding the needed part online at a better price, I called him back, and he was happy to just charge me for the work if I brought in the part. When I did bring it in about a week later, it so happened that my tire had sprung a leak the day before too, so he fixed both issues and put everything back nicely in its place. I appreciate his honesty and skill in his trade, as well as the reasonable rates. I'll likely bring my car back for future service! read more

I haven't written a review in a bit, but I made a special trip here to praise the amazing work at Turchi. I had been taking my cars to the dealership for service, since they are under warranty and some of the service is included, but I stopped in to Turchi when the dealership quoted me a huge sum for a brake job. Turchi did a great job at half the cost quoted to me by the dealer. This week, my wife's car had a nail in the tire, and Tin patched it up no problem. The dealership insists on putting a brand new tire on the car every time that happens. All in all, they've done top quality work and saved me over $1000 so far. As some other reviews noted, you can also tell they are very legit by the kinds of cars you see in the lot and up on the lift. I've seen Acura NSXs, vintage BMWs, all kinds of cars. When people travel here to trust them with all kinds of special cars, you know it's a good place. Tin is also super nice and efficient. I was also surprised that both times I called, he said I could just bring the car over immediately and they would look at it that day. That is a quite a luxury when the dealership is scheduling appointments two weeks out. Highly recommend Turchi. Very nice, honest, fairly priced. I will be bringing my cars here from now on. read more

Always the best! I moved out of the area, and tried another local mechanic. BAD DECISION.. stick with Turchi Enterprises! worth the travel. nobody had any idea what was wrong with my cars engine. another mechanic had changed one part and sent me home with a car that did not work, then suggesting their next attempt would cost me almost $2000. so i traveled up to Turchi. they took their time to figure out what the issue was. they saved me on labor, and are super affordable. really a God send. great guys. honest and they do great work. I've been taking my cars to them since ~ 2003. just the best. is you want a place you can trust, look no further. read more

Excellent service. Very responsive. Gives options for repair to meet the customers needs

My check engine light and electric throttle control lights came on . I called and they were able to look at the car the next day. I was told the car was finished and it was no charge . They told me it just needed to be cleaned out and the grime was holding open the flap. They could have told me I needed a new throttle control and I would have not known any better . That tells me they are honest and good people and good mechanics . That is hard to find. I'll be taking the rest of my cars there for service . read more

A shout-out to our mechanic of 20+ years, Nas, the owner of Turchi Enterprise Automotive on 635 Germantown Pike in L.F. (next to The Persian Grille). Nas and his other mechanic, Tim, put a new after-market catalytic converter in our 2009 Toyota Prius, after ours got stolen 3 days ago - and this one does not have the metal that the thieves like to steal. (Nas said they can look at the converter and instantly tell.) Nas and Tim are incredibly honest and do awesome work. They have worked on at least 4 of our cars over the years. I highly recommend them! (Be patient if you call, since they are usually in the garage.) read more

I think Turchi is the only mechanic I fully trust. My father would recommend this place all of the time. When I had my jeep, the horrible jeep dealership couldn't fix an broken hose issue. I brought my car to Turchi and they fixed my car for free. They looked at it, put a hose clamp on and wouldn't take my money. They had no idea who I was or that my dad gave them so much business. I didn't name drop and they didn't ask. They just helped someone in need. Bonnie, in the front is so helpful too. I've known people who thought they were getting ripped off by Turchi, but that wasn't the case. The suggestions made by Turchi are necessary. read more

I want to tell you about the GREAT experience I had taking my car to Turchi. My car had a warning light on for years and no one could fix it. It ran poorly but just made it through inspection. I took it to Turchi he not only fixed the problem but did not include it in the price of the inspection. I can not say enough so happy!!! read more

Nas and Tim are the absolute best! I have been using these guys for 12 years-since I lived in Manayunk. Now I live in South Philly, but still take my two old cars there. They always have options to work with you, are super honest and fair; Nas and Tim are just good people. It is a pleasure to write this review for them. read more

Turchi auto is the best ever. I have gone there for 16 years. Theres no one i trust more than Nas

Nas and the guys at Turchi are fantastic!! I recently picked up my car that was in for a complete engine swap, and one that all the Jaguar dealers said was impossible. I wanted a brand new Supercharged R motor installed in a different model car. This involved all types of complicated modification and sensor integration that my car did not have. And rebuilding the supercharger completely so it would work in my car. Then tuning everything to work correctly. The guys worked with me every step of the way and kept me informed. And the new motor is in and running perfectly. Sounds Incredible!! Also with all that work there's not even 1 scratch on my car... They are honest and extremely reasonable!! I recommend to anyone needing foreign car service that cares about their car to give these guys a call. read more

I tried to get the oil change and he said $45 for regular. The price is way expensive. Most of the regular oil change is $30 around. He said he checks others but that is everybody does. My friend used here Acura MDX and paid $125. She did not expect that much expensive. Before going here, you better check the price and their reputation. I do not think they are super good. Just regular with the high price. read more

Its been a pleasure to know that my car is always taken care of at Turchi's shop. I happened upon these guys from a friend who has been going here for years. Great experience and full confidence with the crew here. Very humble, honest and good fellas that I recommend to anyone to deal with. I have a 2005 Infiniti with 160K that they've keep in great running shape. I won't go anywhere else, top notch shop. - Harry read more

Everyone here is AMAZING. I bought a used volvo and brought it in to make sure everything was kosher. They explained all the issues to me in a way I could understand and took the time to talk through issues I needed to fix now and issues that could wait. The guy who did the labor on my car actually called me right away when something else came up and seemed super apologetic to me that it was so unexpected. Bonnie is wonderful! She was super great on the phone about everything. I am NEVER taking my car ANYWHERE else!! read more

My family has been a patron of Tony's for decades and I would recommend their services to anyone. I can't even begin to the list the number of services they've provided but new transmission was amongst them. A trust worthy automotive repair shop that does quality work. Tony, the mechanics and Bonnie are all really great to work with. read more

Hands down best place to take you car. This place is a Lafayette Hill institution. Been around over 40 years!! Everyone knows Tony. He will take care if you and has been voted "most honest car mechanic" by Philadelphia Magazine. read more

I have been taking my cars here for over 30 years. I would not go anywhere else. Unfortunately Tony passed away and he will be missed because he was a great person. His longtime partner has taken over. His name is Nas. He is just like Tony very customer service focused and extremely honest. Nas is certified by BMW, Mercedes and Audi read more

Brought (drove, this is important for later) my car in (2007 Mini Copper S) last May (2019) with a transmission issue. I've replaced both the clutch with flywheel and slave cylinder before, so I know what it feels like when each of those goes. Told them I thought it might be the slave or master cylinder since gears weren't slipping, but pushing the pedal down didn't seem to separate enough to change gears. Definitely ready for a $800-$1200 bill. Came back a week later and they told me it was the entire clutch (including flywheel) that would need replacement, about $4200. Now, I drove it in there, but they had bled the clutch line and released just enough of the remaining (admottedly abysmal) pressure that I couldn't get the car into gear now without it stalling completely. When I told them this they insisted there was absolutely NO WAY I could have driven it in (I did), and that my issue was a bent fork on the clutch. One of the guys then proceeds to literally shove a nut (like from a bolt) somewhere underneath my car and claim that because that helped a little (still not enough to drive it out) it proved his point. Next day I bought AAA, had it towed to another mechanic who quickly diagnosed a faulty master cylinder, suggested replacing slave as well (came out to about $1200) and it's been driving like a dream since. *NOTE* The second mechanic wanted to know why a rogue nut was shoved in there and when I told him he literally lol'd. read more

Great work. Reasonable prices. Knowledgeable. Fixed my carburetors and speedometer when other couldn't. My TR4 never ran better

Started bring my '89 325i to Turchi's about 10 years ago. I moved to Washington DC recently, and a mechanic there quoted me $7,500 in repairs and suggested I junk it. So, I took it back to Turchi's (Nas is the mechanic) and he did the repairs for $1200. How awesome is that? Now I take it all the way back to Philly 4 times a year for the great service. Nas is a great mechanic and a cool guy. He loves cars so much its even in his name. read more

These guys are the best. I've been taking various cars there for seven years. They are so honest, so reliable, so expert at everything they do. Almost every time I go in there's a Rolls-Royce or some other exotic car on the lift, yet they take just as good care of my 2012 Volkswagen Passat, doing only the work that's actually needed and always at reasonable prices. Highly recommended. read more

Turchi's is always there for me, even in emergencies! they take the best care of me and my car, I highly recommend them!

Had them do a timing belt change on my Audi. Several local mechanics didn't want to even try, but Turchi had no issues with it. They beat the Audi dealership price by $500. Took 2 days and the car seems to run great. They also tipped me off to a slowly failing fuel pump and how I could probably wait til next oil change to fix it. Only gripe was I had to call several times before I could get an estimate since the office seems to be frequently empty. read more

My wife and I met Tony Turchi in 1973--we have been happy customers ever since. Believe it or not, one consideration in making our move to Lafayette Hill in 1991 was to be able to go to Tony. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago, leaving Nasser, his longtime partner-now owner-in charge. Nothing has changed, I am pleased to say. Same caring service, same expertise, same honesty. As to cost, you do not want to go to a dealer for the same service, whatever it may be- you will pay much more, and without the same convenience. He has always been available for those sudden minor "emergencies" that seem to occur mostly while on your way to work/theater..If he is in the shop, he will get you going. I could tell you many instances of this happening to me or my wife, but there isn't enough time. Just go and see for yourself--you couldn't be in better hands... Howard F. read more

These guys are the real deal: extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and most importantly, they are totally honest. If you want an auto repair shop you can trust, look no further. They have helped me to avoid costly repairs that other shops "recommended" and that turned out not to be necessary. These guys are a Lafayette Hill gem. read more

Tony & Bonnie make an awesome team. Professional, knowledgable, patient & superb. Tony knows his shit and he doesn't hang ya out to dry to get the job done. Bonnie is good at what she does as well. I took my 2005 Volvo there and they treated her like a "kitten". I highly recommend their services. If ya want an expert to work on your auto - foreign car esp and you don't want to be raked over the coals for the cost of labor this is the place you need to go to. PjM read more

I have been going to Tony's for a few years now and they have always taken great care of me (and my car). They have been very honest about problems which come up and the cost of their repairs has been very reasonable. I even had to do a complete engine replacement earlier this year and after I shipped the new engine to them they did the swap in a few days and had everything working perfectly. They are always happy to take some time to answer questions about your car or break down what has been done. As another reviewer mentioned the location is a bit isolated (no train station nearby) but there are restaurants if you want to wait for them to work on your car. They also have a small selection of books that you can look through while in the waiting room. read more

I don't know why he has so many good reviews...Turchi scammed me and did unnecessary, and faulty, repairs to my car. A stalling issue was to be "fixed" by a new rack and pinion? I didn't know better at the time, but that did not help (as you can imagine). Not only did they remove my perfectly functioning rack and pinion, the new part was defective and the power steering ceased to function for the remaining life of the car at low speeds. They put me in a dangerous situation by letting me drive a stalling car and telling me it was fixed multiple times, when they were simply doing expensive repairs. He adjusted the idle of the car, when it was controlled by the computer and should never have been touched. This resulted in an unexpected revving of the RPMs to 6500, a TERRIFYING experience. What the car really needed after *thousands* of dollars in repairs? They had failed to notice that the car hadn't had a tuneup in its lifetime, approximately 13 years. Once it had a tuneup it never stalled again. I will never return here, ever. read more

My family and I have been going to Tony's since the early 70's.We trust Tony and his mechanics to fix/inspect the car right the first time. We have never been disappointed. He tells it like it is (for example, you won't have to replace those tires this year but you will next). I trust them implicitely to do me, my budget, and my car right. I have lived in Center City for 25 years, and I still take my car to Tony's for everything. I've read people complain about his location. A couple of buses stop right across the street; they can take you east or west. If you are industrious (and I have done this in the nice weather) you can pack a bicycle and ride the bike path home. read more

Great Honest car mechanic! Tony and company have been caring for my cars for 30 years. I first brought in a car in desperation after 7 mechanics, 2 dealerships (and over $1000 in unnecessary repairs over 18 months) could not tell me why my car would intermittently not start . Tony listened to my story, asked 2 questions, then said he knew exactly what was wrong. He fixed it that day, for less than $100 and it never failed again. Since then Tony has cared for all our cars, including my husband's prized classic Mercedes. I keep my cars until I have 150,000 miles or more, and Tony keeps them running well. We now live 25 miles away and we keep coming back. When you find the right one, never let them go! read more

the only person better than Tony himself is Bonnie. A true gem of a manager.

We have been taking our vehicles to Turchi's for more than 15 years. Nas, Tony's long time business partner before he passed, and his staff are hardworking and honest. They will tell you what needs to be done to keep your car safe and road worthy and are reasonably priced in my experience. If, like us, you tend to keep your cars or trucks for a long time, this is the place to go!! read more

Love this place. I can trust them. They look to do what's needed - not to run up your bill. Nice to find a good, and honest, mechanic.

Great service isn't even the best part about Turchi's. I have been coming here for years, and usually hang out while work is getting done on my vehicle. The mechanics Nas and Tin always answers any questions I have about what they are specifically working on. Since I'm pretty curious, I ask a lot of questions, and they are never annoyed. All around a great service provider, never felt that I was being over charged for any work they have ever done for me! read more

Nas (the current owner) is honest, accommodating and does a great job. Highly recommended.

God help anyone who entrusts this shop to fix your car!! They are the worst shop ever as well as they are robbing you blind yet the work is awful. Last year l8 months ago my starter went they charged me $600 and the car was awful worse then ever. Took it back and was told that my car is perfect. Two daysafter it died again. They didnt want to repair the work because the new owner said he was not responsible to fix work he just purchased shop. They ended up repairing it and less then 8 months starter broke. It was year coverage but never bothered. Aftr Mr Churchi died the shop is run by crooked people so dont go!! Awful experiences should of stayed with liberty they the best! Buyer beware!

Once you find a good mechanic you hold on tight like a starved boa constrictor. Tony, Bonnie, and the gang took great care of my car and my wallet; quick, honest, and friendly. Finding a decent mechanic in the area has been a chore so finding a great little shop like this is a real score. The sign out front says Tony's (Turchi Enterprises is the parent company) and they're right next to the Persian restaurant and the fire station. These guys were recommended to me by family and I mistakenly went to outfit across the street so don't be confused by the multiple shops in the area. They don't have a TV or vast magazine catalogue so bring your own entertainment. Walking distance from a couple of restaurants and the General Lafayette (don't have too many before picking up your car) but nowhere near a train station so arrange for a ride or hop on the bus if you're leaving your car for extended periods. My cars will be happy and well-maintained for years to come. read more

I hate to write this because I know they are nice people. But when I was in a bind and my oil pan broke, I brought it in and the owner said the price would be $500, the next day they said it was almost $700 (nothing had changed with what they were doing with the oil pan)... I pleaded with them to honor the price the owner promised and they did not. I paid the bill but that will be the last time I use them. Make sure to get anything you are promised in writing. I will be happy to change this is they ever honor the original price because the place was recommended by someone I trust highly. read more

I took my Vw Touareg for inspection on 7-31-15. That was a mistake. They told me I needed new front brake pads. I informed him I've owned the car for 12 years and it has brake pad sensors that warn me when the pads start to get low. He said, "trust me, I have to follow regulations, they need to be replaced." Shady. Do not take your car there. read more
