After having them work on it for THREE different occasions, it still wasn't fixed, and they charged me $987 dollars for repair parts and labor, that never solved the problem. On my fourth trip back to find out what exactly was going on, John Bogart, the manager, said to me, "Well leave it here again and we'll see what we can do." NO! NO! NO! I then took it to Susquehanna Auto Repair and had it repaired for $78 dollars. The light has never come on since. MONSER BROTHERS is the epitome of a RIPOFF!

An absolute joke. My 81-year-old mother-in-law went in to get an oil change and her tires rotated…read more She also had a vibration in a tire that she wanted checked out. After changing her oil, charging her several hundred dollars, and sending her on her way... she went to someone else. Her wheel was literally about to fall off because the wheel bearing was so bad, they said her tires had never been rotated, and I honestly would be surprised if her oil had even been changed. Way to take advantage of an elderly woman. Shame on you. DO NOT GO HERE!!

Always tacking on extra things they said were wrong with the car and overcharging for what actually did need to be done. The last time I brought it in they gave me an insane estimate and a list of things that were detrimental. I decided to find someone to give me a second opinion and I'm so happy I did. I spoke with Gene and brought my car in and was given an honest assessment. This is my new guy. Highly recommend.

It was a Sunday morning and all mechanics and repair shops were closed. I was essentially stranded until Gene showed up to tow my car, and when I described the issue to him, he decided to check it out for himself before towing me away. He fixed my wheel in 5 seconds and found that my splash shield was bent and was grinding on the rotor. He bent it right back with his hand and saved me hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars and an incredible amount of stress. Thank you Gene!

I was surprised and not confident about their recommendation, but in the end I ignored my intuition and went ahead with the additional $1,400 repair. That was my bad, I should've taken a step back and gotten a second opinion and I did not. A couple weeks later the person that recommended Vic's to me took her own car there. There was a check engine light on that seemed to be related to tire pressure. Vic's assessed and told her the all four sensors on her tires were bad and needed to be replaced for about $700. She was bummed, but trusted them completely. I told her my reservations and urged her to get a second opinion. The second opinion: all sensors were good, there was a nail in the tire that needed to be removed and patched, $40 max. I'm not sure if there was any dishonesty or just ineptitude, but it's enough for me not to go back.
