I loved that kind of expertise and confidence. It was the holiday and hunting season, so he told it would take a while to get to it.

The window was completely down within the door, wide open and we were heading to Pittsburgh for the next college tour. The weather was calling for downpours of rain of biblical proportions and we were desperate. We proceeded to phone and beg for help from around 5 diff auto repair shops and were told they were either too busy or the mechanics had left. As we drove we saw Starks. Yes, he was closing, but Will took a look and proceeded to get us back on the road! He was able to get the window back in place so that we could get where we needed to go without getting soaked. Fixing the window was no easy feat, but he did it with patience and a smile and we are forever grateful to him for helping out stranded New Yorkers when no one else was willing. Will Stark obviously has the work ethic that has fallen by the wayside in current times. People in State College, PA are lucky to have this wonderful auto specialist for themselves. He is one of a dwindling breed of people who provide true service and care more for their customers than the time clock and money. We wish him the best!

He's the most honest and straight forward mechanic you could ask for. One of my car's issues was with its computer, even though part of the repair went beyond this shops capabilities they still stayed in touch, recommending a car dealer and ensuring the proper repair was accomplished. They charge by the hour and do a great job at keeping you updated on the car's status. I don't plan on going to any other repair shop after working with these guys.

I had my 2012 Land Rover Evoque towed there because it would idle erratically and stall after the…read moreinitial warmup. Told him my code reader said most likely a PCV valve. He had it for 2+ weeks. When I went to check on it, he said he replaced the spark plugs, mass air flow sensor, replaced a bolt in the turbo and added oil, for a cost of $509 (negotiated down from $700) and he also acknowledged it did not make it run any better. Then he proceeded to tell me he thinks the turbo is going bad (mind you the turbo does nothing at idle speed). He never hooked it to a computer or checked the codes. I then had it towed back home. I ordered a PCV valve ($52 from FCP Euro) and vacuum pump gasket ($12, my suspected oil leak location). Replacing the two parts took me 3-4 hours in my garage. It has been 1 month and over 500 miles since the repair. No issues. Pretty disappointed that i spent $250 in towing, and over $500 in repairs for them to do shade tree mechanic diagnosis and repair. Also, when the car arrived back at my house the interior was filthy. The car had a tan/beige interior and the front seat and dash had oil and dirt stains all over them. DO NOT GO THERE.

After a pothole on I-84 punched the right rear shock mount right through the wheel well in our Ford…read moreEscape, we had no luck finding anyone willing to do the repair. Everyone we took it to just scratched their head and said, "Jeez, I don't know. Maybe you should just get a new car." Eventually we ran into someone who had been through the same scenario. "Don Musser is the guy I took it to," he told us. We got his phone number, called to give him an idea of what to expect, and asked for a ballpark estimate. The number he gave us seemed reasonable, but I prepared myself to expect the final bill to be higher than his estimate. I know enough about bodywork to know this wasn't going to be a quick and easy job. It wasn't simply cutting out the bad metal and welding on plate, then finishwork (which is a lot of work by itself). This repair meant fabricating a new shock mounting plate with all sorts of profile precision. I was skeptical of his bid, but even at twice the price, it would still be cheaper than replacing the vehicle. We dropped off the car and he said he'd need a week. 5 days later, he called and said the car was finished. To our surprise, the total bill was only about 75% of his bid price. He said it wasn't actually as bad as he'd first thought. Now I was really skeptical. I thought, there's no way he could have done all that work for that price without doing a half-assed job. I showed up fully prepared to be unhappy with the results. I have been professionally restoring yachts for 20+ years and I have an extremely knowledgeable and critical eye when it comes to structural, fit, and finish work. I was absolutely shocked by what I saw. It was flawless. Not just the shaping of the profile and the finishwork, but structurally too. The welded plate was seamless, large enough to ensure it was welded to good steel, and it was a heavy enough gauge to take the abuse of a suspension system. Given the location of the repair, I also expected the interior to take a bit of a hit, but it was fine too. Don took a lot of care to shield the delicate molded plastics from the heat of welding. To top it off, he matched the undercoating from the driver's side wheel well so the overall repair is invisible even when compared to the other side. 5 stars all day. I don't write a lot of reviews and I can be a pain in the ass as a customer because I have very high standards, so when I say Don Musser did a great job, I hope you understand the full weight of that sentence.

I live 300 miles away so I decided to send it to Gemini. Shortly after Gemini received the car, I received a call from John who told me what the problems were and gave an estimate. He called me daily with updates and finished the repairs ahead of schedule and below his estimate. The car runs like new. Given the great distance away that I was, I had to place my trust in John. I was not disappointed. A very professional and courteous owner/operator.
