I wanted to write this short review as a follow up on the great service provided by Tom & son's at their great establishment. So, I went into Philly a few weeks before the big snow storm and possibly hit a speed bump, and possibly caught some air with a not so smooth landing. Two weeks later we had the biggest storm of the year. I had to leave my home and I drove on a street near my home that hadn't been plowed yet. After that I started hearing a scratching sound every time I left my driveway and occasionally on the road. When I checked I saw I had dented a panel that covers the front end of my car. I decided to head to Tom's one day while doing some errands to see if he could take care of it. Just a pop-in. I told what had happened and he could actually see it from just looking under, so he can let me know when to bring it in and all that. He figured the part and asked if I had bought it already cus I did bring him my fog light before. He remembered. So I told him no, he'd have to order it. He said to bring it in and they'd use the lift. In my head I was like, really now?! Cool! A young man I believe his son, asked for my keys and drove it in and put it on the lift. He said the damage was minimal and nothing else seamed to be at all. He took out the panel and reworked it back to normal. The whole experience was only about 20 min and the cool part was they let me stay inside while doing it! They brought the car down and asked Tom "How much I owe'ya?" He said "Nah, don't worry about it." I said really? Let me at least give you something for lunch or something for you guys. And he said you're good don't worry about it. I thanked him with a firm handshake and hug and thanked his son as well and went about my day. It was a minor thing but it had a world of difference to me, not only that he didn't charge but just giving that feeling of how my fellow man could help me out in a time of need. I was very relieved because had that not been fixed other issues could arise (Think of Newman when he hit that sewing machine on the highway) that's what I was worried about. Hahaha! This business is truly in my heart and should be in yours too, so stop in, they are local! I said I'd be visiting them again, and I was riiight! :)

When I picked it up later that day, I found a noticeable cut in the clear tint on my windshield that wasn't there before. The manager admitted they didn't realize it was tinted until it was too late, but never mentioned any issue when they called earlier. When I asked what they could do to fix it, I was told they are "not responsible" and that it's in state guidelines, but no proof was provided. I was told I'd get a follow-up call, which never happened, and they refused to give contact info for the owner.

I recently had an oil change at a Nissan Dealership and I was informed that a previous service provider(AAA) had overtightened and stripped the drain plug, leaving me responsible for a $400 repair just to get my car back. I contacted AAA immediately to report the issue, but was unable to reach a manager despite multiple attempts over several days. I was told to call back, then told the manager was unavailable, then promised a follow-up call that never came. I was told by a worker there, believe his name was James that I should be entitled to a reimbursement if they're at fault. After finally speaking with a manager nearly a week later, I submitted documentation from the dealership confirming the damage. The next day I received an email stating my claim was denied because AAA did not have the opportunity to inspect the damage themselves. This was extremely frustrating, as I made repeated efforts to contact them but was unable to get a timely response. Overall, this experience showed a lack of accountability and poor customer service. I felt completely disregarded as a customer and will not be returning. I would not recommend this location to others.

The technicians at Willow Grove Automotive get right down to business. About a month ago I left my old mechanic due to poor service, but ever since finding Bernie and the guys at Willow Grove Automotive I couldn't be happier. They were able to take me vehicle right in and get it fixed in no time. Better yet, I walked across the street to the Willow Grove Mall until the repair was done. Best experience with a mechanic in my life! Thanks again read more

Willow Grove Automotive is a great place to go if you're having trouble finding an affordable used car. They don't carry many vehicles on their lot but you can always ask to speak with Bernie to make a request. Often times he can pick out a deal at local auctions and inspect the car for any defects so you know you're getting what you paid for. Thanks again read more
