We recently took a trip to see Penn State with our daughter and wouldn't you know, our passenger…read morewindow regulator just snapped! This was 5:20 pm on a Friday and we were far from home. 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!

The mechanic recommended I come back soon to get the other one fixed. When I went back later to do the second one, I was still having the same issue. I got a second opinion from another mechanic, and it turned out the real problem was on the opposite side from what this shop had diagnosed. So I ended up paying for a repair I didn't need, and they still wanted to charge me again to fix their mistake. On top of that, when I returned to get the actual issue fixed, they weren't able to get the part in time -- so I bought the part myself to help speed things up. Even then, they still wanted to charge me full labor for a repair that was caused by their original misdiagnosis. Because of this experience, I decided not to go through with the service or return to this shop.

On the morning of 6/22, we called to confirm that the keys we left in the drop box had been received. We never received a call that day indicating the work had been completed, so we called again on the morning of 6/23. During that call, we were told they weren't sure why the vehicle was there and had been waiting for someone to call. We were then informed that the calibration would be completed that day. When we picked up the vehicle on 6/23, my significant other noticed that one of the windows had been left down. When he attempted to roll it up, it would not operate properly. What was especially concerning was that no one informed us of this issue before we picked up the vehicle. The window had been left open with paperwork and personal items inside the vehicle, leaving them exposed and within easy reach of anyone passing by. At a minimum, we would have expected to be notified of the issue before taking possession of the vehicle. I called the business politely to ask if anything had happened while the vehicle was in their possession so we could provide accurate information to our mechanic. I was not accusing anyone of causing the issue; I was simply looking for information. Unfortunately, the manager immediately became defensive, raised his voice, and began yelling during the conversation. Rather than speaking to me professionally, he repeatedly interrupted me, called me names, and spoke to me in a hostile and disrespectful manner. He also told me that if I came into the business to discuss the matter further, he would have me arrested. At no point was I threatening or aggressive--I was simply trying to understand what had happened to my vehicle. He hung up on me twice, and when I was finally able to speak with him again, the conversation remained hostile and unproductive. Instead of addressing a legitimate customer concern, he chose to belittle me and treat me with complete disrespect. Regardless of whether the business was responsible for the damage, customers deserve to be treated with professionalism and courtesy. The lack of communication regarding our vehicle, combined with the manager's behavior, made this an extremely frustrating experience. We have contacted our insurance company regarding the damage and will also be filing complaints with the appropriate consumer agencies. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this business. The customer service was unprofessional, communication was poor, and concerns were met with hostility rather than assistance. Based on other reviews it seems this is an on going issue

Being around the holiday season, it was impossible to get into a dealership with appointments booked up into the first of the year. My daughter-in-law found this auto repair shop on a mommy site for young mothers. This was a newer business. The owners Chris and J (not sure his name) were very friendly and professional. They repaired my car for a nominal price so much so that I felt bad leaving with them having done so much for so little that I asked them to do other things for my car such as a oil change so I didn't leave without them making some money off me. What a wonderful shop this was! I recommend this auto repair shop to everyone! It's always a great to find a auto repair shop that is honest and fair priced! Deborah J
