I made an appointment for my NYS car inspection with VanderVort. I needed to drive my vehicle from…read moreits location near Harrisburg, PA to NY State (200 miles each way) to get the inspection and chose VanDervort because of its outstanding Yelp reviews. Though it was a shortened holiday work week, they were able to squeeze me in at 4 pm Friday. I called during my drive up to let them know I would be late due to crash and construction delays. They close at 5 but said they'd do their best. When I arrived at 5:15, my service technician, service manager, his son, and the owner were there to greet me. They assured me it was fine and my car was whisked away for its inspection. I got a chance to speak with the owner who told me VanDervort has been around for over 100 years at the same location. We had a heartfelt conversation about my medical journey, medical miracles like hip replacements, cars, and more. Soon, my car had passed inspection and I was free after many months in which I was not able to drive, to go. At the end, there was a sweet surprise that, when I told my cousin about it during my trip back, she said, "I'm crying" (tears of joy). If you are anywhere in the area and need car care and repair, It would be hard to find a more professional, kinder group to work with. I can almost guarantee you will be very pleased!

(4) appoints in a row with the $100k vehicle; (1) Drivers door creased the entire length of the botton. Hinges twisted, door sprung so bad it had an air gap you could spit through. damage was visible enough i didn't have to attempt to open the handle to know. i calmly turned around and after the unbelievable run around on me as if I was crazy. upon "review of security footage", "split the cost with me", they resultantly made right. no apology but mistakes happen. (2) Inspection and tire rotation/alignment. Alignment had been locked out of it enough to bend an upper control arm, tie Rod and junk a spindle (none of which had I replaced as of that point; assuming if they were aware of the situation I'd be more than happy to have them take care of it. i was told all good no issue, straight as can be on the digital printout... double checked the run down on the work order i requested and all in 2-3 day time line they actually called me for once to have completed and ready to go for once. needless to say the broken tail light lens cover was the least of my focus. Tires never even came off prior to "alignment" of which couldn't be adjusted sitting on the rack. good thing it was spot on. (3) once I "failed" emissions as per the next routine inspection visit with no real problem or explanation; I should have know/seen enough. however a little odometer and half a tank or fuel "they needed to put miles on to reset" the computer wasnt enough; a technican took my vehicle home and again used to pickup pizzas for the whole shop for lunch that day as well. never did see what emissions issues all of a sudden went away (I forgot to return stock factory settings tune back in the vehicle from my laptop before inspection). more miles won't change that but glad i could sponsor the pizza party. (4) best trip yet. routine service. another set of tires and requested my take offs which was against protoco/unheard of/so foolis for that/another comment or two about my take off oil filters and oil too justified my sure "transmission flush"and filter" cost me an entire transmission rebuikd. ran flawless and recalls of any kind handled. never had any issues until five mikes after that trip. for good measure I told them I forgot I had wanted new cv axles too and brought it. back shortly after. the transmission issue was at that point; predictable and repeatable in a sequence you could set your watch by. reset settings and back normal for 9-10 mikes deoending on shifting to reach temperatur. i took it back all good without a code light or word. axles surprise surprise couldn't get done now for a week I just said that's fine I will take it for now and needed it for the weekend. as you can imagine the cover their ass required for another 82 miles. i was spoken to and yelled at, cussed at and told to go elsewhere with my business before the offfice managlent hung up. $1000 and a day later; the boys at Croteaus transmission service from diagnosi/estimate/turnaround time/ to price point and customer service completely exceeded even my best expectation. and don't be fooled by the $10 off mail discounts youll get after service as a thank you and mailed again once or twice as a good persuasive customer service scam. Only get to use one $10 coupon per month. not per vehicle service, per invoice , or even per second new set of tires-free balance and rotation with purchase.. as long as you do it yourself . Conclusion : Pete and the boys should for ahead and throw a pizza party for the mechanis and shop management at Croteaus and thank them for the job they did for one customer that instead of handling things legally or otherwise; you won't have to worry about restitution and as per your professional advice; to take my business elsewhere won't be a problem. Happy to take it here. stay turned for the play by play YouTube uploads from those last 3 service appointments mentionEd above from both the dash cam and go pro audio and video. Maybe the owner would have something to say by that point Instead of hiding In the back. $10 dollar off a gallon of gas coupon for the first pizza delivery I take his vehicle for the weekend to use. But only one coupon per tank full*.
