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.

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!
