Excellent service, always. R.I.P. Bill... ‘Semper Fidelis’ to a good man.

At Maclane’s Automotive, we take a holistic approach to all of our customers’ vehicles and their diagnostic, service and auto repair needs. We assess each car thoroughly, find the root cause of any automotive issue, we do our research of the make/model/year of the car or truck if necessary, and always consider repairing before replacement (something that makes us different from taking your car to a dealership). We get to know our customers so we understand how they’re using their vehicle whether it is; driving just around town, long commutes, highway vs. city driving, etc. Our goal is to be proactive with the health of our customers’ vehicle’s in order to extend the life of the vehicle and prevent our customers from experiencing any large auto repairs or catastrophic vehicle failures. We pride ourselves on sharing our knowledge with our customers, providing detailed car specific information to our customers, documenting our repair and service procedures for our customers’ records, and setting a timeline for customers so that they can focus on the most pressing issues and monitor future potential issues. We strive to communicate costs to our customers up front to avoid any surprises. We are confident in our automotive diagnostic abilities, our top of the line vehicle scan tools, our mechanic/technician experience and expertise. Our mechanics are encouraged to pursue education, automotive training and certifications to ensure we are serving our customers effectively and efficiently. We enjoy the challenge of investigating and diagnosing tough vehicle issues and providing our customers with answers and appropriate repairs (not a guess and a band-aid). All in all, we care about our customers and their cars because we want to fix cars right the first time and be one of the best auto repair shops in the Greater Downingtown area.

The folks at Extra Mile always do an excellent and thorough job of keeping my 10 year old Nissan running like new. And they always manage to perform maintenance/repairs quickly and efficiently on MY schedule.

As always, the service provided was excellent. Arty is always very helpful and tells me exactly what is needed. If I can't do everything that is needed he tells me the most important issues and suggests what I should take care of first. He is always helpful.

Very fair and responsive. Could have been faster, but I dropped a non-starting vehicle in their lap with no advance notice...

As someone who works in the car world and is very cautious when it comes to mechanics, I can say hands down these guys are the best! Everyone I met was friendly, helpful, patient and went out of their way for me. The work required for my car required a lot of investigation to discover the issue and could have cost thousands to fix, but Bill researched a more affordable resolution that got the job done and hopefully will prevent the issue from arising again! If you need anything done, be it a simple oil change or a huge, complex job Milex is the place to bring your vehicle. I will never go anywhere else and when someone needs a mechanic this is where I will send them. Thanks Bill & Kimmy, you guys are brilliant!

At Mr. Tire, we offer complete care for your car, truck, SUV or van, including scheduled maintenance, repairs and, of course, tires. Call or visit us today and see the difference for yourself.

Sam at first was extremely kind. I later realized that was only to reel me in. There was still issues with my truck after they fixed it . I called Sam he made me wait a solid week until he looked at it again , hE said they found nothing wrong with it. I called him again 3 days later still complaining there’s something wrong with my truck. He made me wait another week to look at it, charged me again. To say they found nothing wrong it after They drove it four times. 1.5 weeks later I called Sam from the Highway, basically broke down. I was only able to literally drive under 5 mph. I told him my truck was smoking and was making the same noise I’ve been complaining about. I explained to him the smell that was coming from my truck along with where the smoke was coming from. How amazing Sam knew exactly what the problem was, yet he’s been telling me for weeks nothing was wrong with my truck. The problem was my brake was stuck and hanging down, the truck got so hot it melted my calibers etc Sam was charging me over $1300 to fix it. I asked him if he could take some money off beings though I had my truck in there two more times AFTER they fixed it complaining about the way it was driving and the noise it was making. He refused!! Don’t trust them! Their crooks!!! I called another mechanic shop. Explained what needed to be fixed according to Kirkwood auto. My truck was towed from there and towed to Sevy’s auto who fixed it for under $800.00 Don’t trust Kirkwood auto they are crooks. I asked for the old parts they fixed and they said they couldn’t find them. Yea sure. Like I believed that

Very friendly and helpful people. They did a good job of the repair to my car. There was an issue with one of the parts they used and handled it great fixed it quickly without and problem. -Matt Owens

I went to Ron's because my nextdoor neighbor recomended them to me. WOW, I AM SO IMPRESSED!!!! I came in for 4 new tires and an alignment. I asked them to give the car a quick check out. Dimitry found a split axle boot and a bad ball joint. I was prepared to leave it for a day or two to have it repaired, but instead they ordered the parts and got me done same day. I am very impressed!!! THANK YOU RON'S... YOU SAVED THE DAY!!!

Great Service! Great Management!

Call ahead if you can. Shamrock has worked on 3 different vehicles for me. most recently repalced wheel bearings on my explorer. rapid service, reasonable price, actually was about $75.00 LESS than i was quoted and expected. the difference in the handling of my vehicle was amazing and noticed within seconds of pulling. the owner (?) is knowledgable and willing to explain what is going on with your vehicle. He has my business and I'd suggest him to anyone I know
