Great repair shop, I would definitely recommend!…read more Paul, the owner and lead mechanic, is the one you'll talk to on the phone. 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.

Immediate and consistent professional response to my purchase needs and questions 2. Exceptional LISTENING and helpfully relevant response skills 3. Well directed focus on the many tasks he must complete to successfully locate a truck suitable for my driving needs and relevant purchasing logistics 4. Patience with the late communication of added search refinements I have introduced to the search. This is the result of effective training, lengthy experience, and Jeff's obvious passion for the retail sales profession in general. I'll take it.

The…read moredealership only cares about the Almighty Dollar and, unless you are wealthy, does not care about the buyer. There is very little integrity shown by this dealership. The vehicle is a lemon. Additionally, they could not even be bothered to detail the inside or attempt to remove the cigarette smell. Needless to say, my family, friends, and many acquaintances will not be purchasing any vehicles from this dealership in the future. At least Joe, the finance manager, was decent and empathetic. Thank you!

Both people I talked to were awesome. I believe Ernie was one of them and I do not remember the other man's name but they were great. 10/10 would recommend.

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!

If you're looking for a refreshing car buying experience with no pressure, Lion Country Kia is your huckleberry. I dealt with both Tyler, the sales manager, and Justin, salesman, to purchase a 2025 Kia Sportage. They made this the most pleasant and easy purchase I could imagine. Tyler went out of his way to get me some accessories and work with me on the price. The car I test drove was sold, so they brought in the same vehicle (with a few more extras!) from Williamsport and gave me the same price I agreed to, even though that car was a little more expensive. Both gentlemen are kind, honest and fun to work with. Justin even made the sign-forms-until-your-hand-hurts part enjoyable. I highly recommend this dealership and will go back when I need a new vehicle.

While driving back to Chicago from New York I experienced car problems at 2am. I got off at…read moreBellefonte and got a hotel for the night. In the morning I googled auto repair and headed to Fouty Chalfa. I explained the misfire I was experiencing, chugging (like water in gas) and told them how far away I was. He said he would read the codes (I will always bring mine with next time) and see what it said. It came back with a "misfire" (plug, wire or coil) and cam position sensor. The owner stated either one could of tripped the other and he wouldn't know until he changed a part to see if it fixed it or not. He recommended the cam sensor first, I agreed as I had changed th cap rotor wires and plugs 15k earlier. He said he could get one and it would be $115. I really wasn't in a position to bargain shop lol so I said go ahead and get it done, they had it installed in about 40 minutes and I was on the road home soon after. When I went to pay, I wasn't sure if labor was included (I know how much a cam sensor is for a caravan) when he shot me a he price. I was pleasantly surprised that the $115 was parts and labor. He made a few bucks on the part (as all shops charge exuberant prices on parts, I usually do all my own work) but was more than fair. In all they did a great job, highly recommend.

DO NOT GO HERE. The mechanics themselves just want to do their jobs, but the manager dude (I guess…read morehis name is Josh?) is shady asf and talks down to women. Nick had previously resealed the transmission pan on my Subaru (it was leaking before when I had tried to seal it myself with an anaerobic sealant). So he fixed it, but it started leaking again. It's a known flawed design from Subaru (the pan doesn't use a gasket but just mates metal to metal) and so it's a common issue with subarus. Anyway, Josh tried to gaslight me and tell me that the leak was actually coming from the output shaft seal because "the wind was pushing the oil leak down and making it look like the pan was leaking." In reality, he just didn't want to redo the repair because it would cost him time x money on his own dime + expensive CVT fluid. He thought he could just gaslight me about what was happening as a solo female and I'd just pay up. Well, I didn't take his bs bait. This is exactly why I started doing my own repairs on my car because you can't trust these dudes. At the very least, Josh could've tried to work with me instead of starting an argument, like say "I can see why you'd think that and we can repair xyz at discounted rate and if the transmission pan is still leaking then we'll replace that on the house." You're not very good with zero customer service skills.
