Emissions testing service near Lansdale, PA

Beware when you bring your car here. Went for an oil change and was told I needed $900 in repairs. I called a friend who is a mechanic and he fixed the problem for $50. Ive heard the same story from more than one person. Avoid this place like the plague.

Terrible customer service. Sat in waiting room while old guy treated a customer incredibly rudely. Was waiting while they were installing my tires. Felt really bad for the customer. Tire guy behind desk refused to acknowledge appointment customer had. Think the old guy should retire. Appears to be overwhelmed by the phone ringing and customers standing in line waiting to be acknowledged. I was disgusted by his behavior!

I took my Volvo here because they said they were Volvo certified - they are not. Although the car was running perfectly fine, we wanted them to check out a "Check transmission next service" message. Three thousand dollars later, the message is still there and the car is stone cold dead in my driveway. They said there is nothing more they can do - and they were RUDE about it. Also, a Volvo mechanic told me that they charge at least 1 1/2 times what others charge. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE.

I have been going here since about 1962 when John and his brothers learned to repair cars from their father. He was very demanding and expected perfection from them. John learned well and always manages to fix my old cars in a proficient and timely manner. He has continued to learn and keep up with new technologies. Like his father he clearly explains what needs to be done and why. He often finds inovative ways to repair my old cars. For example a rear tail light on my 1989 station wagon just needed replacement. Because my tail gate no longer goes down, bolts to hold it in place could only be accessed from the out side by removing paneling. Instead he gained access through a storage compartment. Although I now live in West Chester I continue to go to Shall Martin Garage because of their superior service.
