Auto repair service near Philadelphia, PA

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.

Our auto repair shop in Kennett Square, PA is just two minutes north of the shops in Historic Kennett Square. Our full-service auto repair shop provides service to southern Chester County in Pennsylvania. In 2022, we took over the Willowdale Sunoco after the previous owner's retirement. Experience the red carpet treatment the moment you walk in the door. With three bays and several more on the way (remodel coming soon!!!), our service team provides everything from oil changes to engine replacements, transmission repair to headlight restoration, and PA state inspections.

Always outstanding service when I take all my cars there.

Jay goes above and beyond to make sure my car is right with quality care. He finds problems that my previous mechanic doesn't to improve longevity of the car with affordable prices. My father in law recommended Jay and he and his company have my 100% trust. He saved me when I attempted to have my car inspected at a popular franchise near my work, and fixed their mess. He earned my loyalty and respect from day one

Could Not Be Happier I want to send a big thank you for replacing my transmission especially with the time constraint I was in. It runs smoother than ever and sounds great.

Having bought a used 1994 Honda Accord with 89,000 miles on it in 2010, it was time to do the basic maintenance on the car which the original owner had deferred. Carlos replaced the valve cover gasket, among other things which needed to be done. One of the spark plug o-rings inside did not seat properly when the cover was put back on. I took it back to Overseas and the problem was quickly remedied, then and there, same day, within an hour. This is why I do not mind paying just a little bit more. On bigger jobs like timing belts (which on this car get done every 90,000 miles and its also recommended to change the water pump which you have to go through to get to the timing belt) the extra $40 you will pay Carlos is well worth the piece of mind that the job will be done right, and that if there are any problems, it will be taken care of. My father takes his cars there, I take my car there. Dad is super anal about his vehicles. If its exceptional for him, its more then good enough for me. I went someplace else ONCE after moving back to Philly from my trusted Florida mechanic. Never again. Carlos and his mechanics are so thorough, they know more then the folks at the Acura dealership about these cars. You can't go wrong and can trust Overseas.

I want to say first this Shop was so friendly and helpful. I had got in car accident on Sunday. Called them Monday morning and my guy who I deal with, was out sick, so the Girl at the front desk, Cat got my car over to their shop right away! I even had the wrong phone number! I call the fax machine & Cat knew to call me back... Anyway, the whole experience was seamless, professional, and easy! They even dealt with my insurance company! I will recommend this Hart's Auto Carriage to everyone I know for sure. Go here you will be very Happy! Mrs. Liu

I was having a oil leak but after the oil change the oil hasn't been burning or leaking thanks mobile

The experiace I had at this store was very good. Lowest tire prices in the city. They carry just about any brand. Employee owned company really shoed in their service. I highly recommend.

Z&A provided me with a 2009 DODGE CHARGER in 2011.Now 2013 2 years later, car still runs as if I just pulled it off the lot.No service to the car other then a regular oil change.

My family and I have been taking our car there for over 20 years. The owner, Randy, is the best. His prices are a little more expensive than other places, but he always gets to the root of the problem and he is trustworthy. Routinely, he tells us when we can wait to get a service done or if we don't need to do it at all. In the end, this saved us a ton of money.

A friend of mine recommended David to me 5 years ago when I was driving my old car ( Camry 1999 with over 250K mileage). I was amazed how professional, honest, fast, and fair he was. I have recommended him to tons of people since then and nobody never complained about him or his service. This guy really knows what he is doing and doesn't overcharge you or push to get something done if it's not necessary. I love going to get take care of my car at his place. Frankly, he is the only one mechanic that I trust 100%. Every time I come he listens what I need and gives options what and how much. I am so happy that I know this guy and highly recommend him to anyone! If you want to be treated fairly and get exceptional customer service go to David! You will not regret!

I've been going to this shop since it opened. I would not go anywhere else for transmission issues. Bill is a very honest businessman who knows the value of repeat customers. His prices are excellent and he stands behind his work.

Thank you so much for the wonderful service. I want to thank the General Manager, Matthew Kline, for his amazing customer service. Many thanks!

Consistently great work!

Handled our car import from Canada after being told by Customs at the border just to drive it across and handle it when we got to where we were going, (not the best advice), but Skytop went over the process with us, got all the paperwork back and allowed us to get our car registered in New Jersey.

Has good stock of older foreign cars. Had my Benz in shop for repairs and job was OK but it took too long. Don't use them if you are in a hurry to get your car back.

I hate to do that, but feel like I have to... I came to this location to get my car inspected last Friday (08/16/2013) waited for 40 minutes until a service representative finally asked how he can help me. ( he was the only one working there and he was already assisting a lady when I walked in...) I said I need my car inspected and how long it would take. I have been told that he needs to make a call to his manager and ask if there is a waiting list for that or something like that. I didn't feel like waiting another hr or two, and left disappointed. I went there second time on Sunday only because my mechanic doesn't work on Sundays and this is the only day off I have after working at two jobs. I waited about 2 hrs to get my car inspected!!! this is ridiculous! I would never ever go to this place again even though there is a lot of work needed to be done at my car. I also was going to buy tires from them, but with this poor customer service I ll pass on that as well.... Would not recommend this particular location to any customers. I am not sure about others locations.

Bought a 2000 Honda a couple of weeks ago for my son.The horn didn’t work and no emissions sticker was on the car.I spoke with the owner who gave me some bullshit answer and then the check engine light came on.I took the car to a mechanic who said it’s not safe to drive (the brake line is ready to fall off and everything is rustedNow I can’t get in touch with the asshole owner, it’s wrong but I hope you have nothing but sadness and misery you are trash.
