Auto inspection service near Erie, PA

Great place to have your vehicle repaired!

Apex Auto Service doesn't offer ferns, cushy chairs or free coffee, but those things don't guarantee that your mechanic is capable and honest. Scott has been my go-to mechanic for years, and everytime I leave the shop I know that he has fixed what was broke and nothing else. Even bigger jobs are fairly and reasonably priced.

In April 2010 Bomar indicated that my 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier needed to have its exhaust system replaced. I agreed to let them repair my car. The cost of the exhaust system replacement was approximately $1,000. Approximately 2 years later when I brought my car to Bomar for inspection, it indicated that I needed my muffler replaced. I was surprised by this since it was 'supposedly' replaced 2 years before. However, I allowed them to replace it. In November 2012 (6 months after the muffler was replaced and my car was inspected), the muffler separated from the exhaust pipe in front of it. The pipe was rusted through to the point that it is hard to believe that it passed inspection 6 months prior. I allowed them to replace it at a cost of $200. In January 2013, I heard a loud noise in the front of my exhaust. At this point I took it to Chevrolet Vehicle Repair. Chevrolet indicated that the front of the exhaust (including the catalytic converter) needed replaced and that the original parts were still on the car. That is, Bomar never replaced them. Chevrolet replaced them at a cost of $900. You hear about nickel and dime mechanics ripping people off because they don't know how to repair something but this is the first time I ever heard of a mechanic charging for replacing parts that they didn't actually replace. The sad part is I really have no recourse other than to report them to the Better Business Bureau. After all, I can't prove they didn't do the work. My advice - STAY FAR AWAY FROM BOMAR

I bought a car from Bizzaro's 8/5/14, and it has turned out to be a huge mistake. As soon as I drove off the lot the car had two lights come on. One was check engine, and the other was EPC. At first I wasn't too concerned because Bizzaro's gives you a warranty with the vehicle. Long story short - Bizzaro's claimed to fix it 3 times, but each time all they did was reset the dash lights. Every time the lights came back on within 15 miles of driving it. Eventually, john the mechanic admitted to not knowing how to fix the car, and they told me to take it somewhere else.
