I moved to the area about two years ago, and I needed to find a new mechanic. I called around to…read morefive different places looking to schedule an oil change. Since my first oil change over two years ago, I have brought my car to Ambler Tire for safety/emissions inspection, alignment work, and new tires. When I called Ambler Tire, the owner (Dave) answered and I requested an oil change. I gave him the year, make, and model of my car. He instantly said I would need the synthetic oil which is more expensive than standard oil. I said that's okay because I know my car manual recommends synthetic oil. When I called the other four places, they gave me a price for a standard oil change and didn't even ask for what type of car. I asked what if I need synthetic oil and they said it would be 2-3 times as much as the standard oil change. Based on those phone calls, I immediately decided on Ambler Tire which seemed to be the most knowledgeable, experienced, and actually cared about my car. After calling around to multiple shops, Ambler Tire is not the cheapest nor the most expensive. Their prices are right in the middle. I am okay paying a little more to know that my car is in good hands.

WARNING: DO NOT BRING YOUR VEHICLE TO THIS BUSINESS -- RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL & POSSIBLY RACIST…read moreBEHAVIOR I am writing this review because no one -- and I mean no one -- should have to experience what my family went through at Five Points Gulf Service Center in Blue Bell, PA. This place is a disgrace to the automotive industry, and the owner, Luigi, should not be in business. I brought my son's car in for inspection stickers -- something simple. Luigi kept the car for TWO WEEKS and never did any work. No inspection. No repairs. Not even a phone call. Just silence, excuses, and complete disregard for our time. During that time, my son and I had to share my car -- all while he was preparing for his high school graduation. He had graduation rehearsals, a job to get to, and so did I. This caused real stress and hardship, but Luigi didn't care. He held the car hostage without explanation. When we called for updates, he was rude and nasty every single time. After two weeks of no progress, we went to the shop in person to get answers. What happened next was appalling. As soon as I entered the building -- calmly and respectfully -- Luigi came storming through the door, screaming at me in front of my teenage son. I hadn't even said a word. He yelled, "I'll call you when it's ready!" then shouted, "Take your paperwork and your car and GET OUT!" He was angry, aggressive, and hostile, acting as though I had no right to even be there. To make things worse, his wife was just as rude, cold, and completely unprofessional. Let me be clear: I am an African-American woman, and based on how I was treated -- with open hostility, no provocation, and no professionalism -- I strongly believe this was racially motivated. Luigi spoke to me with a level of disrespect and aggression that made me feel targeted, humiliated, and unsafe. My son watched it all unfold, and it was heartbreaking. Luigi originally quoted $250 for inspection stickers -- yet no service was performed. Just two weeks of delays, verbal abuse, and a total lack of accountability. Even though I feared for my life in that moment, one thing is certain: this will be the last time Luigi ever screams at a Black woman like that without being held accountable. He may have thought he could get away with it -- but not this time. If you are a woman, a person of color, or simply someone who expects to be treated with dignity and respect, then this is not the place for you. I will never go back. I will never recommend this business. And I will make sure everyone I know stays far away from Five Points Gulf Service Center in Blue Bell, PA. There are plenty of honest, respectful mechanics out there. Luigi is not one of them. This shop does not deserve your trust, your time, or your business.

Finding a mechanic can be tough. For the past several years I've used a dealership, I honestly…read moredidn't want to have to search for a local shop after being burned in the past. I knew I was paying significantly higher prices than anywhere else (which was frustrating). I was also made to feel that they were "doing me a favor" by servicing my vehicle. It got to the point where taking my car in for a normal service or inspection was worse than getting teeth pulled without anesthesia. Finally I got smart, read some reviews on Yelp and made the leap to Tommy Carr. I called and the phone was answered by Nick, and he actually was polite and professional. I needed an inspection done and Nick said "no problem, when can you bring it by this week?". I was amazed, I had to beg to get an appointment weeks out at the dealership. The day before I received a text from Dereck to confirm my appointment, which was great because aside from living a busy life, I'm getting old and forget things! I dropped off my car about an hour after they closed. I was used to a drop box so I wasn't sure if I should just drop my key in the door mail slot. Luckily for me, there was someone still working on a car and he saw me. He came out and, I know this is getting old, but was friendly and professional and confirmed I could always use the mail slot but he would take my key from me. The next day I received a text with a link to report on my car. I then got a call from Dereck to let me know my car was done and they had some recommendations but they weren't sure if I needed them because they were based purely on mileage not on records of service (since they didn't have those). Not once was I pressured for anything. I picked up my car a few hours later, Nick was there and was quick to cash me out (which was cheaper than I was expecting). I'm sold on Tommy Carr and will make them my go to for all services in the future.

They picked me up, gave me an invoice with no charges and I was on my way. Everyone was friendly and acted professional. One recommendation was to inspect/replace air filter at next service. No pressure. A painless experience. I'll be back.

Chucks Garage is by far the most honest mechanic I have ever been to…read more I had my car towed to the AAA facility on Columbus Blvd because my engine was overheating. AAA quoted me over $2200 worth of work! So to get a second opinion, I brought the car to Chuck. He ran all the necessary tests and figured out my car only needed coolant. I walked out of there with a $60 bill! Chuck knew what AAA's quote was, and instead of taking advantage of that and charging me something similar, he was honest and charged exactly what it cost.

When I picked it up later that day, I found a noticeable cut in the clear tint on my windshield that wasn't there before. The manager admitted they didn't realize it was tinted until it was too late, but never mentioned any issue when they called earlier. When I asked what they could do to fix it, I was told they are "not responsible" and that it's in state guidelines, but no proof was provided. I was told I'd get a follow-up call, which never happened, and they refused to give contact info for the owner. Very disappointing experience--poor communication and no accountability for damage done while my vehicle was in their care.

Loved that extra little bit of care because nothing drives me crazier than trying to find an envelope and pen in my car because there's nothing but a key drop slot in the door in so many other places. They think of the little things. I had made my appointment online a couple of weeks before using one of the flyers that came in the mail, I scanned the QR code. I did put it in my phone as a reminder however I actually put in the wrong day, I would have been a day late however they sent me a reminder text to let me know that hey your appointment is coming up. Amazing, and very timely! I spoke mainly with Brandon and in all my years I have never spoken to any car repair place and receive such great service. He listened to my concerns as I have a few because my car is older. They kept me apprised of every step of the way. From initial diagnostics, when they finish them they sent me a link that took me to a website but not only detailed information about what needed to be done, but also recommendations with PICTURES to show what they were talking about. I was able to show them to my brother who was mechanic in New Jersey he said I see their concern and he agreed on their diagnostics, but we're getting rid of the car within a year so no need to do those things right now. When I spoke to Brandon we talked about what needed to be done for the inspection, the things that I wanted to have done extra including the oil and having an A/C repaired, and there was zero hard sell of any of the other options that were recommended but not needed at time of service. I have never had such an amazing experience at a mechanic shop in all my years and I can guarantee I will never go to another auto repair shop as long as I live in this area, I finally found the best mechanics around and trust me I've been to probably just about all of them including dealerships. They are absolutely outstanding and it didn't matter who I spoke to on the phone they were great, Brandon stood out as exceptional. Thank you Ross for the detailed Diagnostics.

They kept me updated, explained everything clearly, and even though my car had to stay overnight twice, once the issue was identified, they didn't charge me for the fix! On top of their top tier service and fair pricing, it's the peace of mind that they offer that sets them apart. I couldn't recommend them more.
