Suburban service near Reading, PA

Very professional and caring

Great mechanics, friendly service.

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.

My wife and I tend to buy vehicles new from the dealer and then keep them for at least a decade. Mark and his crew help us keep our vehicles on the road. I was particularly pleased when Mark not only completely replaced the rear brakes on my 02 Silverado 3500., but he also updated the Truck's computer with the latest software version! Now the truck shifts much more smoothly. On our 04 Honda Civic, we noticed that the coolant seemed to be needing replacement much too often. Mark, using chemical analysis, found that the head gasket was leaking. Mark and his crew were able to tackle this very labor intensive job and had the Honda back on the road in a few days. It has been running great ever since the repair. John M. New Tripoli, 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.

Very, very pleased. Great quality work. No pressure tactics. Straight shooters. YOU are apprised of the situation and YOU decide what to do. I will never shop around for front end shops again. And I truly believe that their front end expertise carries over to their other offerings. Call them, talk to them, and work with them. You will not be disappointed. BONUS - They answer their phones! With a human!!!

If I can see a zero on here, i would be rating this place a zero so others be aware. Am forced to believe that they are very insensitive business people who don't care about their customers. My experience here is annoying and very frustrating, ts a feeling of we have taken your money so what you gonna do about it. I took my car for AC repair they did their so called comprehensive diginosis and gave me a report to fix 3 things totaling to about $1300 or so I asked for a discount and I was given about $75 or so discount I agreed and left my car for repairs a day or 2 later was told to get my car that it's ready for pickup, the so called fixed Ac didn't work well I didnt realize this because following days weather was cool and i was mostly using my other car, my husband was the one who noticed about a week later when he returned home that AC wasn't working we took it back to them and the story changed, THAT NOW the Condenser and 2 other things are bad) that i have to pay another $2500 for it to be fixed. This is crazy and annoying cos Now they want me to pay almost $4000 to fix Ac when i should have just decided otherwise maybe get a new car instead I pleaded with them to be considerate on way forward for my already paid $1235 cos i wasnt going to pay $4000 to fix it and it was their fault that they had 1st done half or miss diginosised my car but they told me its my problem. This is very heartless for a so-called reputable business To treat people like this up to now very hurt cos i convinced my husband about them. After my experience, we further seached for more reviews about the company and found those that are hidden, We realized that others had been treated same way before at this same allied automotive business on Hamilton pa. I will advice you do DEEP reseach on their REVIEWS before fixing your car here. For me, this does not end here because this is not fare and it's pure robbery from innocent hard working people because they think or believe we can't do anything to them so why not?

I'm new to this area and was looking for a good place to go to get my muffler fixed. I definitely picked the right place. They are extremely friendly and professional. They showed me exactly what was wrong with my car and offered to fix it the very same day. I was so impressed that I will be taking my car there for everything including oil changes, inspections, etc. I definitely recommend this shop and won't be going anywhere else.

Stranded while visiting over holidays. They fixed me up in 2 days. WOW

I must say that the folks at Meiser's go above and beyond in the areas of customer service, and quality work. We came to The Reading/Topton area of Eastern Pennsylvania to visit family in the nursing home in Topton. We needed to get a family car inspected, but only had Friday to do this (we live in Ohio, and needed to return on Sunday). During the inspection, it was discovered that the car had a bad shock absorber. We were in a bind, as the area dealership could not get the car in on Friday afternoon to fix the issue. I called Meiser's to see if they could get the shocks in, and install them on the car. They called to make sure they could get the parts, and were able to get the car in to install them on Friday afternoon. One of the employees even loaned us a car so we could visit with family at the nursing home while our car was being worked on. This was MORE than over and above the call of duty, and gave us additional time with family that we would have missed out on but for her kindness. We would recommend Meiser's to anyone looking for quality auto work, and excellent customer service!
