I know some places in the general area that have done decent work in the past, but I saw the good reviews on yelp and decided to give them a shot. Perfect. It's rare these days to find good people who do good work on cars. They fixed the problem with my rear brakes & calipers, and didn't try to oversell me (I thought my front brakes needed to be done too). Also, I asked them to finish in a very short window of time because I needed to leave town, and they nailed it. 5 stars for sure. I will return for more service in the future, and recommend these guys to anyone who needs minor repairs in the Ardmore area. Thanks Mike & Alphonso! EDIT-- My wife and I have been back here for random issues/repairs about 6 or 8 times since I first wrote this review. Still 5 stars...great work every time.

Since ~2018, I have been a customer of PA Tire & Auto and in these past five years, I have…read moreconsistently 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.

If they can't do it, they'll tell you. If it will be expensive, they'll warn you. If you have another option, they'll fill you in. You'll typically need to take emergencies elsewhere as they have a small staff and are usually booked a week in advance but there's good reason or that. I've recommended Milano's to a few friends and all have been very pleased with their experience. You should do the same.

My whole family are in auto in some way but unfortunately live far from me, so I decided to go to a local around the corner from my house. They insisted it was $190 and wouldn't take a card.

An oil change is not $85, don't let them tell you that either. Not all of us are in Ardmore have our pockets lined to drop an extra $100 on a service that costs 50 anywhere else.

So, on the second warm day of spring the car heads up to Lower Merion Tire & Service, FKA United Tire of Ardmore, FKA Goodyear of Ardmore and through all the business name changes it's the same team of quality people working. Kevin recognized me pretty quickly when I called about service, told me they'd get me right in. Steve called, told me what was going on, pointed out a tail light bulb being out and some cruddy looking power steering fluid that we could take care of too, no problem, picked the car back up 4 hours later with ice cold A/C. These people treat their customers well. As I've mentioned in prior business reviews, they regularly service the Patriarch's van and take care of it, replacing four bald tires during an oil change with my permission while he insisted there was nothing wrong with it. When NMT was in the emergency room and we got a flat, they speedily took care of it and told the Reverend to come back and pay because he needed to be with our son.

And I am very satisfied - I think they are honest, did good work, and in a timely reliable manner. My car was a mess - dead battery and no brakes. It had been sitting unused for a while, I got it jumped and was on my way to my usual repair shop in center city when I completely lost my brakes right on City Ave in front of Solly's. I pulled in and the car stalled - battery dead again. While I was lucky it was right at a repair shop, I was concerned - I'm always suspicious of getting ripped off by car repair places - but I had no choice. I was really happy with Solly's service. He explained what the possibilities were, called me the next day with what he found and what needed to be done, and got the work finished the day after. He said I didn't need a new battery (which surprised me), that it had just sat too long unused and the alarm had been draining it. He said there was a leak in the brake fluid line, which he fixed, but that the brakes were otherwise OK and didn't need replacing. If he had sold me a new battery and new brakes, I wouldn't have known the difference, so I consider him honest. It needed an inspection and a few other minor things that were also taken care of. All in all I was very satisfied. The car drives well and I would definitely go back.
