I can't say anything bad... This was the closest place near me on a Sunday replacing tires so I…read morekind of didn't have that many options. Though this would not be my first choice on a normal day, I was grateful for the quick service, the lady at the front looked out and brought the price down because I was not about to pay $180 for a tire unexpectedly. My new tire is holding up well. Thanks guys

ZERO STARS. Avoid, they will try to rip you off!…read more I've been to this Midas location before, but this visit was with someone I'd never worked with there before, and it was a total scam. Went in for a diagnostic after a P0304 misfire code. They quoted me $1,800 for spark plugs and coils. When I pushed for an itemized breakdown, here's what they were actually charging: - Spark plugs: $264 EACH. The exact same plug, same manufacturer, same part number, already confirmed to be what's in my engine, is $26 retail. That is a **10x markup**. Not a "shop margin," not "parts are expensive for foreign cars," a straight up 10x markup on a $26 part. - Coils: $105 each vs. $63 retail for the same direct-fit part. Over $1,400 in quoted parts for something that costs about $350 retail. For a car that needed maybe $300-400 in parts and a couple hours of labor, they tried to charge $1,800 total. That's not a tune-up quote, that's a scam. When they first called me with the quote over the phone, I told them right then it seemed high. No mention of a $50 spark plug option at that point, nothing. It wasn't until I was in person, pushed back again, and asked for my car back that the story started changing. And it gets worse. When I said the price was too high and asked for my car back, the guy didn't explain the pricing at all. He asked me what my budget was, like this is a negotiation at a used car lot, not a repair estimate based on actual part costs. When I said I just wanted my car back, he suddenly offered to drop a filter change to bring it to $1,500. Still zero explanation for why a $26 plug was $264. It wasn't until I told him I already knew the exact retail price that he suddenly dropped it to $50 a plug. That's not a coincidence, that's a shop pricing based on what they think you don't know, not what the part actually costs. Then on top of all that, this diagnostic fee went from $189 to $225 at checkout out, well over the typical fee. If you don't walk in already knowing what your parts should cost, they will absolutely take you for a ride. Do your research before you go in, or better yet, just go somewhere else.

This is my new favorite auto shop. I got a screw stuck in the tread of a tire and was stressing out…read morebecause my usual shop couldn't help today. I called Fountain Street Auto Service and was greeted calmly and with confidence that I'd be back on the road soon. Anthony and crew are true professionals. Courteous, knowledgeable, and great at juggling phone calls while taking a small line in the late afternoon. I overheard them offering a drop off for a customer, fixing a minor thing that came up after service was performed for another, and handling multiple walk ins with zero pushback or attitude. I legitimately was shocked. Never have I seen this level of competence and service in an auto shop. I asked if they could service my electric car on future returns and was told it was not a problem, as long as I made an appointment. After all of this, I was back on the road within 45 minutes for only $27 out the door. That's half what my OLD shop charges. Amazing bang for your buck and the respect was top-notch. Shout out to the whole crew. I will be back soon!

Both times I have used Fountain Street were "walk-in" or emergency needs (one in 2021 and now in…read more2026). In 2021 my tire popped and I was only able to get the car within close range of their shop. Someone came over with me to take a look and they helped me get the spare changed until a new tire could be ordered. They did not need to stop their work to help me, especially when I was not even parked in their lot. it says a lot about them!! most recently, winter storms and ice caused major damage to my hybrid vehicle's battery and additionally, AAA caused extra damage when I called for a jump, and they handled it incorrectly. Fountain Street accepted a tow on a Friday during this time when they had 0 appointments available for 3 weeks. Anthony was able to get my battery replaced, and they kept my vehicle over the weekend so they could address the electrical issues that were not there before the battery was dead/AAA caused damage. I had my car back that Wednesday. I am a single female living close by in Manayunk for the last 10 years, and I am disappointed to have ever used any other shop. I will absolutely be switching to regular service with these guys. They are kind, laid back, and in my case, made me feel confident they could handle the issues rather than causing me more stress over the unknown. That is invaluable service to me and not easy to find!
