Had my brakes replaced here a few weeks ago, when they started squealing again for some reason they got me in quickly to make sure everything was all good, at no charge. Very professional, Informative, and helpful! Thank you!

Ive been bringing my car here for years, and had all kinds of services from tires to battery replacement to inspections performed here. These folks are fair, honest, and professional. I recommend them highly.

Nice people! I had a clipped mirror that needed to be replaced. I’m in the neighborhood, so I gave FPA a call. Bob was concerned that with the snow coming, it would take a while to get the part into the shop so he told me exactly where I could go pick up the part in the city myself (got it for $26 bucks, saving me a ton of money) and said to come buy the next day and he’d put it on for me. He had it done for me in under a half hour, and when I asked how much I owed, he said “Don’t worry about it, next time give me something hard to do!” Really appreciated the great service. Seems like I may have found my new mechanic!

Attempted to make an appointment for some tire work here and was amazed at how rude and unprofessional the “gentleman” that answered the phone was. I’ve used many local service stations, rather than going to chains like Midas, Meineke etc, never have I ever been spoken to in such a downright rude manner! I hope he’s as busy as he claimed he was, because if he continues to talk to people like that, he’s gonna need the business of repeat clients.

Been bringing family vehicles and suggesting friends bring their vehicles here for a long while. Bob is one of the most stand up guys youll ever have work on your ride. Honest, lasting work, from guys that love what they do.

Excellent, fast & friendly. I called ahead when on my way with a flat tire, and within seconds of me pulling in he was outside and had it up. Within minutes it was patched and I was on my way. So happy I was able to take it here, definitely recommend.

Fantastic service and good people. Have been going to them for any work I cant handle on my own and they point me in the direction when they can. If you bring a high value/expensive car they will keep it in their bay overnight. Greg is brilliant at all things motorcycle and just as good with 4 wheels and Bob knows how to break it down for customers to understand.They just got an additional two(2) bays too.

This is our go-to spot for oil changes, inspections, and repairs. Their customer service is top notch and theyre extremely thorough and efficient.

Wanted to give them business because Im new to the neighborhood and wanted to give business to someone in the neighborhood.They will scam you, rip you off, etc. charged me a total of $127 for an inspection. Tried to charge me $1200 for a repair that I had done for $70 elsewhere and tried to charge me for a brake cleaning (whatever the hell that is). I think they may have assumed that Im not knowledgeable about cars? Go somewhere else.

Lets be honest, no one likes dumping more money into a car, especially when things unexpectedly break and cost hundreds - or more - to fix. Ive taken my car and my wifes to Bob and his crew for a while now and they all all are great guys. Theyre honest, reasonable, hard working and will do what they can to make this a painless process. Bob gave me tips on how to keep repair costs down, and he pulled through during a flat tire emergency. You should be comfortable in trusting him when hes working on you car. I know I am.

Bob and staff at Frick Park Auto are by far the best in the business. I have taken my car to dealers for repair before I found Frick Park and boy do I wish I found them sooner. After a year of nightmares at the dealer, Bob had my issue repaired with no problems and the price was 1/10th of the cost of what the dealer charged. Not only price but customer service and professionalism makes Frick Park Auto the place to go for your automotive needs. Top Notch!!!!!

Would really prefer to put 3.5 stars but cant put that. This is an honest and reputable shop, and the owner Bob seems like a great, straight forward guy. Like some others mentioned though, it is pricey. This is an independently owned shop in the city, so that likely influences the costs, and Im happy to support them and not a chain. I felt as though I should write a review though just in case you have time to look around for a good price. Some of the parts I needed are more expensive from the shop than I have found online when looking them up later, and the labor is roughly $100 an hour which is on the higher side for an independent shop. For me it is worth it since it is a close shop, and I trust their work, but once I move from the neighborhood (which is soon), I will not likely take my vehicle there again. Overall, not a bad place though.

Seems like it would be a convenient place to go, and maybe too many people go there. Its difficult to get an appointment, and when you do the employees dont see to care whether you ever want to come back. Ive heard they do reasonable work, but I never got that far and personally wont be going back.

One of the best garage experiences I have ever had and will continue to have. The mechanics are friendly and fair. They call you every step of the way to let you know what is going on with your car and do what they can to work with you on getting the issues resolved. Originally stopped in because of a rattling noise. They found the problem in minutes, fixed it quickly and didnt charge because it wasnt a huge undertaking. In and out 20 minutes. I have been there since and will use this garage as needed for the foreseeable future.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with these guys. If Ive ever had any issue - from an emergency to simply an inspection/oil change - they take me either same day or the next day. Their prices are reasonable, they patiently explain everything that they do and the reasoning behind it, and dont try to push you into spending money you dont need to spend. In fact, they always provide helpful tips for how to keep me from having to spend money!I usually deal with one guy in particular (his name escapes me), but he is always friendly and cheerful and accommodating! Their hours might be a little more convenient if they were open later, but being open on Saturday helps, and the location is convenient and the materials they use are good quality. I highly recommend!

FPA has kept my car in great shape since I bought it in 2002. They are courteous, patient, good about explaining/showing me what theyve done, and have often told me they didnt need to do things I thought might be necessary. They have my car ready when they say they will. Just great to work with, and a good place to have in the neighborhood! I trust them.

Review №30

I do not trust this repair shop.I recently went here to replace a wheel bearing. There was a huge mark-up on the price of the bearing - charged $470 but the part is available for $180 online. I called Pep boys to get a quote on the repair and they quoted a price that was $300 less than they charged (almost all the price difference was in the price of the part). I understand parts will have some mark-up but over 150% is dishonest.I will no longer take my business to this place and will not refer anyone here.

STEER CLEAR! Made the mistake of taking my car there after hearing a few years ago that this place did respectable work. Took my car in to get it inspected and got a bill for thousands of dollars. Initially I was happy to pay it because I thought my car would be in better shape when I got it back. WRONG! Car made terrible noises and vibrated like crazy when I started it. The car now has a rough idle and every time you stop, car vibrates. Brought this to their attention and they said to bring it back if problems continued. Before they had worked on it, the car never made any strange noises and did not vibrate. They didnt look at when I brought this to their attention. Took my car back twice and they had no idea how to fix it. Also they kept saying they had nothing to do with the problem. They never offered an explanation or any type of refund. What a huge disappointment.

Had my vehicle dropped off for tire work. Bob & the guys took care of it fast, and the price was more than fair. Ive never taken my car to Frick Park Automotive for any repairs or inspections before, but the way I was treated has definitely earned them some goodwill and future business. Thanks.

Ive taken both of my cars to Frick Park Automotive for various work since we moved to the neighborhood. Some big issues and a few ridiculously small ones that Bob was able to take care of in minutes. They dont have hidden charges or run up a bill without discussing the situation honestly first. Ive never had a mechanics shop that I trusted and liked before, but it is a welcome change. Its nice to know that Frick Park Automotive is just down the street for the next time my cars have problems.

Review №41

I had taken my 2012 VW Touareg there for a rear brake job pads which I had purchased oem parts for. I then explain that my regular mechanic could not do the job because it required specific knowledge to complete the job properly.Bob says” I can turn a wrench, no problem “ I take the car in and he attempts the job but runs into problems and was causing issues that the car never had, he then goes on to blame the last mechanic for the issues.He calls and says the car is ready for pickup. I get there and the car has several warning lights on Bob says “Just go to the dealer and they can clear those.I stateted I’m not paying for a job that wasn’t complete. Bob kept the car and ended up fixing the issue.I felt that more due diligence should have been done before attempting the job. I was facing additional charges had he not continued to work on the car at my request.

I took my car there for the state inspection. After 1 hour he called me back to tell it would cost me $1,600 to do the minimum required to pass and that he could do everything. I took the car to another shop where I spent $500 to replace tires and brakes, and passed the PA inspection. Moreover, most places allow you to redo the inspection for free if the car fails the first time. Frick Park Automotive just charged me $75 (which is far more expensive than Jiffy Lube or any other place) and didnt inform if I could redo it.

Review №43

A month and a half ago, I did exchange the engine oil. At that time, I had a something weird feeling about the service(The owner name may be Bob if I remember it correctly). Following the basic instinct, I did bring my car to a different Auto-Mechanics for the state inspection yesterday. They said I have to replace my engine oil since it is extremely dirty. My car just drove 1000 miles since I did exchange the engine oil at the FRICK PARK Automotive.So, I guess, this happened with one of the following reasons.1. The FRICK PARK Automotive did not exchange my engine oil at that time and charged the service fee to me or2. They did change it with the engine oil from their garbage oil repository3. Or I did drive my car in a something terribly wrong way.

I had a nail in my tire, causing a slow leak. These guys fixed it within the hour when everyone else was booked out days or even weeks... And amazingly, didnt charge for it! Amazing service.
