So, I scheduled an appointment with my dealer after hearing this clanging noise in my tire. They…read moresaid no problem, there's no noise. Again I brought the car back thinking they would surely hear it. No. This treatment is something I experience often. You're not hearing correctly .... I went to RELIABLE. Solved immediately. The small device that monitors tire pressure changes had disengaged and was spinning and falling inside my car tire. I have to say. I felt relieved to know I heard it!!! They took me seriously! I'm an educated teacher ... 74 yrs old. These folks heard me and heard it! l highly recommend them.

It's a major brand tire sold under the Pep Boys name which adequate for daily use. We had an 815 o'clock appointment and we were taken in promptly. Our car was ready by 10:45. The front desk personnel were pleasant and very helpful especially Frank. We believe the price for the Pennsylvania state inspection and for the tire replacement were good. They have a nice clean waiting room and a bathroom. I'll be back.

Buddy McClellan has been operating this shop in the Glenolden community for 40 years. He's been my…read moremechanic for the past 10. He's done a lot of work for me. I used to own some crappy cars in my day, and I'm fairly certain I gave him so much work that I was a big reason he was able to pay off his vacation home in the mountains. Let's just say I own better cars now, and as a result I don't see him as often as I used to. But every time I need something like brakes, I make it a point to bring the car to Buddy. Bottom line is that I've known a lot of mechanics in my life. Some were good, some were not so good. You tend to want to keep going to the ones you trust because they can be hard to find. I've always trusted Buddy. He's an honest, straight shooter who will tell you exactly what you need to have done. He's not out to upsell you or to get you for more than what you need. And he will get it done right the first time. If you are a fan of supporting good local businesses, this is a great one to support. Plus, if you're looking for a local motorcycle repair shop, Buddy can take care of you too.

I was a little nervous I'd be told there were 100 things wrong with it, or it wouldn't pass inspection because of X, Y, or Z, but the convenience of them being located in walking distance of my house overrode my paranoia that I'd be taken for a fool. Despite my general distrust, I could not be more pleased! JC charged me $116 for a full inspection and an oil change. They didn't try to upsell me one bit. I have mad respect for them and will absolutely be returning for more mechanical/routine work in the future. Their prices are hella reasonable and they seem like genuinely nice people. Plus I'd rather support a local business than the VW machine!

When I got home I could smell something burning under my car. I called the local Ford dealer (who has been servicing my vehicle for 10 years). They told me they were too busy and could schedule me the next Friday (a week away). They had inspected my vehicle in July and apparently didn't check the brakes! Note: I will never use their service department again! I was upset and decided to find a mechanic near me. I did a Google search for a local auto service and found Glenolden Service Center (a mile from my home). I talked to Kenny (after I hung up from the Ford dealer) and he told me to bring my SUV in on Monday. it was the best decision I've made in awhile!! After Kenny fixed what was wrong and completely checked and fixed/adjusted what should have been done before - I drove a quiet and safe vehicle home!! Thank you Kenny - for listening, caring and doing an outstanding job! I will definitely have you take care of my vehicle. I'm so very happy and impressed with your excellent service!
