Local area Facebook groups pointed to Chuck Scott Auto for a good, fair-priced analysis and resolution. That's exactly what I got. Diagnosis and estimate by mid-morning; part came in the next day, and finished by 4:00. Fair price and no grease on floor. They did right by me.

I bought an auctioned vehicle a few months ago which needed a bit of work to get it running again…read more Initial inspection after the auction showed that my car needed a new engine belt and a few other small items replaced. At most, it was estimated that my car needed $2k of repairs (engine belts are expensive). It was the holidays and all mechanics near me were swamped. It would take at least 2 weeks before anyone could start working on my car. So I checked online reviews for other well rated mechanics near me. Chuck Scott Auto was located 18 mile from my home and was frequently mentioned online as the best and most affordable garage. They were also the only mechanic in a 25 mile radius that could start repairing my car immediately, so I had my car towed there. I ended up with a hefty repair bill of $3800, which included $225 for a new battery that I didn't authorize (note that my call history didn't show any missed calls from the garage before they added a new battery the day my car was towed back to my home), 2 new engine belts (even though only one needed replacing), new calipers, new rotaries, new brake pads, etc. According to the bill, my car was basically rebuilt. The car started and looked great. I was shocked at the steep bill, but I figured it was worth it to ensure that it safely operated. A few months later, I had issues with steering and the brake pads getting stuck. So I took my car to a local mechanic. They found that my tires had been loosely attached. It was just a matter of time before the tires fell off while I was driving. In the meantime, the improperly balanced tires were wearing away at the new calipers. I mentioned how much work Chuck Scott Auto had done on my car and showed this mechanic the invoice, which was still in the glove compartment. He checked my car for each item listed on the invoice. The 2 new belts? Only one was new; the second was rusted and looked like it was the original. The expensive new battery that I didn't ask for and probably didn't need? It turned out to be a cheap lead acid battery, not the more energy efficient and longer lasting GEM battery. I recalled that during the initial inspection of my car after auction, no one mentioned an issue with the battery. So the mechanic supposed that the original battery was taken to do repairs for another car and I was given a low quality replacement that wouldn't last a year. Ultimately, the mechanic confirmed that I was majorly ripped off. My car didn't have half of the "new" parts listed on the invoice. I strongly advise other drivers to head elsewhere for car repairs.

Although he couldn't take on the repair himself, he went out of his way to recommend someone he trusted, knowing I had a long drive home to Pennsylvania with my 10-month-old baby. We also had the pleasure of chatting about Woodstock's incredible music history and some of the legendary musicians he'd met over the years. What could have been an entirely stressful experience turned into a genuinely memorable encounter. It's rare to come across people so generous with their time, especially when there's nothing in it for them. Thank you both for your kindness!
