Auto repair service near York, PA

Folks, please avoid York Tire & Auto. Being new to the area, I made the mistake of taking my car here to get inspected since they had the quickest availability. If I had bothered to look at the reviews (Google and Yelp) more carefully I would have kept looking and gone elsewhere. That was my first mistake. $50 to replace one wiper blade (they wouldn't let me do it myself), $90 to replace my license plate bulbs ($7.50 for a pack of two at Autozone, two screws each to get to the bulbs). They wanted $900 to do my rear brakes (they said shoes and drums and wheel cylinders needed to be replaced), but after calling around to other shops in town every other estimate was $400-600 worst case scenario. They also said I needed all new tires since I made the second mistake of telling them the car had just been sitting for an extended period of time. But when I took the car to a tire place last week I was told my tires looked almost new (they were, they were purchased just prior to the last inspection) and didn't need replacing, and that any flat spots in my tires from them sitting had likely worked themselves out after driving on them more. I ended up taking the car to another local shop (with no bad reviews) who changed the brakes and drums for $400 total. They also verified the tires were in good shape and that the rear wheel cylinders were fine. Bottom line, York Tire & Auto wanted over $1700 to pass the safety inspection, even though the car had largely been sitting and was even exempt for the emissions inspection since it had less than 5000 miles since last inspection. They flat out wanted to rob me. An honest shop would have said, "Hey we can't pass your inspection because the tires have flat spots from sitting, but if you drive on them more they will likely even out." With so many auto shops in this area there's no reason to take your car to a place like this where they will look for every opportunity to upsell you on things you likely won't need. Buyer beware.

The folks at Hanover Lube and Brake have always been great no matter what the problem was with my car or my family member's cars...The girls at the desk (usually Tammy and Connie) are welcoming and very helpful in arranging times to bring my car(s) in for service...They are also very knowledgeable about car repairs in general...Dean has always been very kind and generous (not just with me and my family) with anyone who comes into the shop...I highly recommend Hanover Lube and Brake for all of your car care needs !

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!!!

The owners and employees of Dick Wolfe's Garage are always very professorial and courteous. They always take the time to answer all questions on my service and repairs. You can count on them to take care of your vehicle's problems, when needed. I will continue to highly recommend this business. Dee

If you are an Independent, Beware of Tom Boyles, Terry and this place. I took my truck to them for an oil leak. They misdiagnosed and fixed a "leaking" rear main seal and for $1600. It was still leaking when it left the bay. On a return visit to have it fixed right, they had my truck for 10 days and never even put it in the shop. I needed the truck so I took it to International in York and they fixed it quickly. I was the Flywheel housing seal. All needed taken apart again. They did a great job and diagnosed by cleaning the area looking for the leak. Truck shop did not do this. I have been disputing. The coward Boyles wont refund for misdiagnosis or return calls. The foreman Terry saw it leaking when their supposed repair was complete. Boyles said he would make it right. This shop only cares about large customers and has poor mechanics. Beware Beware Beware. Don't even let them adjust brakes. My mistake was paying them before I verified the repair.
