They also allowed me to pay them over the phone because they saw that I had been a frequent visitor over the last couple of months, and I didn't have my credit card with me when my window broke. They definitely didn't have to do that but did--what a customer courtesy! They also gave me a water while waiting because I had just come from a long run. What more can you ask for! This is one of a handful of small businesses in the area that I actually feel comfortable at. I drive out of my way to get gas here to support them. You should come and see for yourself and hopefully do the same. These guys picked up where Tom and Nick left off--courteous, honest, and hard-working. I have already been to them numerous times for gas, oil changes, inspections, repairs--all of which were handled with care. Chris, with whom I spoken on a number of , is professional and positive, something that makes the experience of going here more pleasant. I feel strongly about people who are working hard to establish a new business in the community, and these guys are doing just that! Highly recommend!

I was doing some of the work myself and felt I wasted the shops timing coming back multiple times after my own fixes. They were totally fine with it and at the end closed me out with a more than fair price. One of their techs was even helpful in giving me pointers for the portion of the work I planned to do myself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and will come back for any other services needed.

PLEASE READ if considering the Swarthmore location: I brought my Prius to this shop less than a…read moreyear ago to replace a front headlight. Less than a year later, the same headlight failed, so I returned and also got an oil change. They replaced the light under warranty and changed the oil, but significant issues followed that I believe violate consumer-protection laws. In their written service report (picture attached), the shop stated that the 12-volt battery was "inaccessible" and that "no starting issues [were] present." However, when I picked up my vehicle, it would not start. My battery had never died before this visit. Their written statements therefore appear misleading and demonstrably inaccurate. When I immediately reported the issue, the shop tested the battery and told me it was in "poor health" (approximately 20%). This testing--performed only after I questioned their initial report--proves the battery was in fact accessible and capable of being evaluated. A basic battery-health check is a routine and industry-standard service, such as when an oil change is performed, and the shop proved it had the ability to conduct it before returning the vehicle to me. Instead, they documented that no starting issues were present and simultaneously claimed the battery was inaccessible. Their later explanations were defensive and inconsistent, including claims about battery accessibility that I believe are misleading, as I have statements from other mechanics confirming that removing and checking the 12-volt battery on a 2010 Prius is relatively simple and quick. Notably, during a phone call (which the shop records), Aiden--who to be fair was polite and professional--explicitly acknowledged the error by stating, "They shouldn't have wrote that." Despite this admission, the shop's service manager was unreasonable and failed to take responsibility for the inaccurate report. Just look at how they respond to this review and you'll see what I mean by them not taking responsibility for what appears to me as obvious indisputable wrongdoing. They did offer a $50 discount on a replacement battery, but later increased the quoted price by the same amount (after claiming to realize the battery they needed was $50 more than they expected) -- effectively nullifying the promised discount. Because this shop is regulated under the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, their issuance of a service report containing potentially inaccurate and misleading statements may implicate PA Code § 301.5, which prohibits deceptive or misleading representations. I will be filing a complaint with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection so this matter can be properly investigated. This is not to mention all the minor hiccups along the way, such as after the battery was replaced when they gave me the keys to someone else's car. And when I got the right keys and turned my car on, it made a strange and concerningly loud rumbling sound I have never heard before. To be fair and honest, I acknowledge that Aiden and several staff members were polite, and the shop's courtesy ride service is convenient. However, these minor positives do not outweigh what I experienced as significant service errors and a lack of accountability.

Certified Automotive is fantastic!…read more I needed to get my Mom's vehicle repaired. It wouldn't start. My cousin recommended Certified Automotive. I called and spoke with Chris. It was the Monday before New Years. He said he was booked till Thursday, but that if I would tow the car there, he'd take a look and see what he could do. Car got towed there and his team immediately began diagnosing. He replaced the battery and the vehicle was done THAT day. Chris was the primary point of contact. He called me multiple times to give me status reports. No wonder my family approves of Certified Automotive! Please trust your service business to Chris and his team.
