I got my oil changed here a month ago, they never put an oil fill cap on the motor which caused my engine to fail. I was told by another mechanic that if I had driven another mile the entire engine could have combusted. They also left rubber gloves in the hood of my car which melted. read more

Pete is a great guy... he took care of my problem... and at a reasonable price... I highly recommend him...

Pete is my neighborhood mechanic. He parks customers' vehicles on my street due to his limited lot space. In Dec 2022 one of Pete's employees verbally assaulted me when I came outside to ask if he needed me to move one of our household's vehicles so he could get out of a tight space. Before I could get the words out, Pete's employee was unleashing a torrent of verbal abuse at me - called me just about every foul, misogynistic name you could think of. I should have called the police, but I did not for the sake of keeping the peace on the block. I made Pete aware of what happened and asked him to not park his customers' vehicles in front of my house anymore because I didn't feel safe. Not only was he unapologetic- he was hostile. I am not the only person on the street who has been subjected to this harassment and intimidation. A woman 2 doors down from Pete has been enduring even worse from the same employee, who has also keyed her car. Pete and his guys pick and choose who they are friendly with. Please keep in mind these are folks of low integrity. I am posting this review because it has gotten to the point that I no longer feel safe here. read more

Pete and his mechanics are amazing! They have always been honest and efficient with all of my vehicle concerns. I see Pete and his crew every day because my dog (who doesn't like many people) loves her uncle Pete and her "boyfriends" They do great business but are also so kind, caring and personable. Superior is definitely a gem to have in our neighborhood. read more

Great fast service. They're always available to fit you in same day or next day. Plus! Super nice owner! My latest trip I went in for an inspection. My boyfriend went to pick up my car and was shocked by the price. Apparently they changed my oil as well. He kind of balked at that because I did just have my oil changed, they just didn't update the sticker. The owner was so nice and took off the cost of the oil change without even asking. I thought that was really impressive! read more

The road was closed so I had to cut through their parking lot to get one street over because there was no other way to go. I was instantly screamed at by one of the mechanics who berated me with profanities. I got out of my car because I wanted to explain the situation and informed them that this likely won't be isolated because the road is blocked off. I also wanted other drivers to avoid this negative experience and avoid being verbally assaulted. The mechanic who initially yelled at me became more aggravated and approached me in a fighting stance. "We can handle this later" , "I'll beat your a** p*ssy" and "You think you're entitled to cut through this lot" we're a yelled in my direction over what seemed to be a small misunderstanding that I wanted to resolve in a civil manner. The mechanic's boss which I'm assuming is the owner of the establishment observed the whole interaction and seem to condone the employee's inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. He also reiterated the point I shouldn't feel entitled to cut through the lot. Again there was no other way to go and there was a person in front of me who had just did the same thing. I can understand if you don't want be people to cut through but that was the wrong way to resolve this situation. I've never had my car serviced here but based on what I just endured I was avoid this place at all costs. Make sure not to cut through their parking lot unless you're in the mood to be verbally assaulted. read more

Superior did an exceptional job with my inspection. I needed rear brakes . They completed the work on schedule. Thanks guys !

I didn't realize my inspection had expired until I got a ticket. I was able to call Superior Auto Care the following morning and take my car in right away. They couldn't have been more accommodating. Their location is just a couple blocks from me, so dropping it off and picking it up was really easy. Nice guys working there and a place I would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

Only place that makes me feel like I'm getting a fair price in the city! Pete is very kind

I have consistently had excellent service at Superior! Pete is honest and helped me to find a good price for a windshield repair. I highly recommend Superior Auto Care. read more

These guys are great. Professional, personable, responsive. I always have them do my inspections.

Honest, fair and nicest guys! I'm new to Philly and got in an a mild accident my first week here. Pete and his guys were amazing and took great care of me. Really hooked it up, got everything sorted, even gave my dog treats. Will be my go-to shop now. Thank you guys!! read more

I've brought my car here for inspection for the past couple of years. The process is quick and the service is reliable. The owner has been really straightforward and knowledgeable in all of my interactions. Haven't had any major car problems yet but if I did, I'd definitely have them addressed here. read more

always give us very fair prices and they are incredibly honest. Going forward, we will never bring our cars any other place in the city besides here ! read more

My recent experience with Superior Auto Care was simply the best I have ever had. Pete was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, providing amazing customer service at an excellent price. Quick too on a major timing belt replacement. For the most part, real customer service in the auto industry is LONG gone. It is great to find a shop that realizes its value. read more

I've been taking my car to Pete for about 4 years now. I find him to be friendly and trustworthy, which is rare and valuable in this industry. He and his team do good work and don't price-gouge. I recommend Superior Auto Care to anyone who is ever looking for a good auto shop. PS. My stepdad is an auto mechanic, so I have always been skeptical of everyone but him... I moved 3000 miles away so can no longer take my Toyota to stepdad. To be able to find someone I feel comfortable with, here in Philly, is absolutely invaluable. read more

Cannot recommend this business enough! This is the first mechanic I have ever gone to that isn't trying to up charge me constantly.

After years of using Pep Boys I tried Pete at Superior for an inspection and oil change based on the positive reviews. They are friendly, fast, honest, and affordable. I found my new mechanic and will recommend to family and friends. read more

Great service! I had called earlier asking if they would be able to replace one of my brake lights, and was asked to swing by later that afternoon to check availability. As soon as I pulled up, someone came out and got to work right away. Within 10 min it was done and checked to make sure all lights were working properly. Price was beyond reasonable. Definitely would go back for any other auto service needs. read more

Such a relief to have a great garage right in my neighborhood. Superior Auto is fantastic and does amazing work. They are honest and quick! I had a problem with my car last summer and needed it fixed in time for a weekend trip and Superior got it done in no time. They are really nice and fairly priced. Definitely Recommend. read more

After getting price gouged by a few mechanics in Philly, I came to Superior after being recommended by a friend. Pete is that rare mechanic who is honest and friendly, and is more interested in taking care of you and your vehicle to get your return business than charging you exuberant prices to make a fast buck. He and his team are probably the first mechanics I've been to that I trust and don't feel like I'm being swindled. Great work, great customer service, and great prices. read more

An honest mechanic who does great work and goes out of his way for his customers. Lucky to have him in our neighborhood!

This place is the best. They're not always great at calling you when youre car is ready (what mechanic is?), but the owner will never try to sell you something you don't need or charge you too much for what you do. Give them your business. *Just a reminder, he closes at 5 and on weekends, so it's not the easiest for same day drop off/pick up, but it opens early, so it's not too much of a problem. read more

I hit a big pot hole in Old City and could hear something dragging under my car. I called and they had me come in and fixed it on the spot! Very friendly and great service, I've found my new mechanic! read more

When I moved to Philadelphia, I tried 3 mechanics before I found Superior and I will continue to use this shop and recommend it to anyone and everyone! Pete takes wonderful care of both my car and my boyfriend's car. He has been able to locate a difficult part for my car with ease and has always given me an extremely fair price on labor. I've always found him to be reasonable and trustworthy throughout the 2 major repairs that I have had done on my car. He is very knowledgeable about GM cars and the idiosyncrasies of the Saturn brand as well as Toyota. With his help, I hope to be able to get another 100,000 miles on my 96 Saturn. I stumbled upon his shop because I worked around the corner and now that I've left that job and moved to the Far Northeast, I still continue to take both cars to Superior not only for repairs but regular maintenance such as oil changes. All of the mechanics do great work at Superior and they have never once tried to up sell me with unnecessary services which is rare in the auto repair industry. This place deserves the 5 Star-Woohoo!As good as it gets! review! read more

This is an old school type of place, but in the very best of ways. Pete is a genuine and caring guy who isn't out to just make a buck. Drop your car off before work and later that day it's ready. If there are issues with your car, he'll let you know, but never try to sell you anything you don't feel comfortable with. We certainly could use a lot more places like this! read more

They do really good work, they're reliable, and give fair and reasonable prices. Also, they're really nice and friendly.

Superior Auto is my go-to auto shop in the city. Every time I go, without fail, they offer kind and timely service. They have consistently been fair in pricing and have never charged me for extra measures they have taken to make sure my car was in top shape. I am so glad to have an auto service like this in my neighborhood! I recommend Superior Auto VERY HIGHLY for any service that you need! read more

I've been taking my car to Pete for 4 years now and I will continue to take my car there and recommend him to everyone as long as I live in Center City. Everytime I need an oil change or an inspection done, I just drop my car off before going to work and pick it up when I get off. Although he may not always be able to do the more involved repairs due to extenuating circumstances, he'll let you know up front and won't waste your time. If you're looking for a mechanic in the Center City East/Old City/Society Hill/Queen Village area, Pete is your man. read more

Pete has taken care of me and my car in the most amazing ways. Other than regular perfect auto care, he once made a house call (I live around the corner) and another day, took a nail out of my tire and plugged it in 20 minutes so i could drive to my class. He is truly a lifesaver and does great, reasonable work in speed-demon time. read more

THE BEST! Reminds me of my Dad's mechanic back in the day. Old school caring and service. I feel so fortunate to have discovered Pete and his crew....Especially because I can walk to and from his shop from home when needed! read more

A warning light came on in my car a few weeks ago while I was driving to Philadelphia. I called Superior Auto Care based on a recommendation from a friend-of-a-friend who lives there, and told them what was going on. They said I could bring the car right in and they thought they could fix it that same day. After I had my car towed there, they called to say that I needed a new alternator. They had already ordered the part based on our first conversation so they were able to quickly fix my car within a couple of hours. Everything about my experience was positive and I would definitely take my car there again. read more

I GENUINELY CANNOT BELIEVE THESE REVIEWS ARE FOR THIS PLACE. Pete is a kind heart but THE SINGLE MOST UNPROFESSIONAL MECHANIC I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF WORKING WITH. Very much like the only other negative review, I brought my car in for a check engine light. He put it on the machine and said I needed a camshaft position sensor and a new motor mount and to bring it back the next day and he'd take a look at it. The day went by, I heard nothing, another day went by, I heard nothing, so I went over and he says "you got a lotta problems with your car. Bring it back next week and I'll fix it in one day." Once again, I dropped it off on Monday evening expecting it back Tuesday evening. I hear nothing. I call him up and he says "oh, um now you have a bad strut and a bad axle and they need to be replaced too, it will be ready tomorrow. I uber home and come back the next day and my car hasn't moved. Long story short, he tells me I can pick up my car at the end of the day 3 days later, I'm come to get it, he is GONE, never called to say the car was ready, his partner has to call him and he says, on the phone, "it's all set! ". I drive off with the car and all of the lights come on. I call him and try to explain what's going on and he tells me that he won't stand for my attitude. I continue anyway and he says it's because "aftermarket parts don't work on my vehicle" so he ordered a different one it will be in tomorrow. If you remember he said it was all set and that I could take it. I drop it off the next day for him to fix it, to no avail. My car is still in the EXACT CONDITION I DROVE IT ONTO THE LOT IN. Also, while my car was sitting it got a ticket that he took off of my car and never told me about. ALSO, he charged me 350 for "all of his labor!" I will never ever ever even walk by this place again! EVER! read more

I'm always really skeptical of car repair places but this is the best place I've been to. The owner is friendly, trustworthy, fairly priced, and most importantly he does great work. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Is this guy for real? Pete is as rare as it gets in the mechanic world, and we know--my husband is a mechanic too! From New York, but stranded in Philadelphia while on vacation the day before New Year's eve with a smoking radiator on the side of the highway, we looked up the closest repair stations and found five. Although a mechanic, there was nothing my husband could do to repair or replace an entire radiator while on vacation. Superior had the most consistent and highest reviews...and it was only 8 blocks away. Surely my car would make it (!??!?), and it did. The garage was piled with cars and I was nervous that this place would not give us the time of day...Boy I was wrong. Pete was straight forward, forthright and said he would get our car done. Surely enough he did, even though it was a very big job...replacing the entire radiator and some other important related parts. My husband guessed what the price of this very big job would be and it turned out that he was a few bucks above the actual price. Pete is a gem and so are his guys. They each stayed two and a half hours late that evening to fix my car and get the other customers cars ahead of ours all taken care of. (My apologies to Pete's wife who called around 7:30pm wondering where he was as he was, obviously very late for family dinner!) Those of you who live in Philly are incredibly lucky. Guys and mechanics like this are a rare breed these days. Pete, thanks again!!!! read more

I always try to go to any local family owned business when I can. Happy I gave Superior a try a few years ago. Friendly. Great service.

I would continue to take my car to be serviced by Pete even if I moved out of Queen Village. He is, without a doubt, the nicest and most honest mechanic I have ever met. He ordered a piece for my 2001 Jetta after I hit a huge pot hole driving it in the city. When the piece arrived, he told me it was way over-priced and sent it back. I trust him completely and his prices are great. I hope he stays in business for a very long time! read more

REally a diamond in the rough. We moved from the neigborhood a year ago and I still come all the way across town for my VW to get serviced by Pete. read more

I'm really not one to complain, but this experience was pretty terrible. I really like using locally owned places, and this place has great Yelp reviews. Called here in the morning to see if I could get an oil change and tire rotation. The guy who answered said it wouldn't be a problem and to bring my car over. I brought it over around 9 and the guy at the desk told me it would be ready in the afternoon and that they would call me. At 4:45 I still haven't heard anything, so I give them a call. The guy who answered says my car is ready (great.. so why didn't anyone call me?). So I ask when the close, he says 5:00. So I have 15 minutes to come get my car? What would have happened if I didn't call? So I go to pick up my car, and he tells me $70. $70 for an oil change and tire rotation? My dealership doesn't even charge that much and they do it in an hour or so. Maybe I'm just not used to city prices? Who knows. Needless to say I won't be returning. read more
