Nu Era Automotive

We took a weekend trip to Philly and 30 minutes before we arrived my Jeep started jerking. I thought it was a bad tank of gas but turned out to be my fuel pump initially. Over the course of two days, one by one different things started to fail on my car. The guys at Nu Era were life savers. They replaced my fuel pump. Fuel
Filter and Alternator in very short notice and were pleasant and easy to work with. Reasonable prices and and very sympathetic to our situation so that we could drive back to New York safely. I would highly recommend these guys. Kit was my main mechanic and I wish I could go to him as my mechanic for all my car problems. Too bad for us we live in NYC.

Best auto mechanic place to get your car fixed and other needs. Friendly staff who will always welcome you with a smile!

This place is great! I came here because of the great reviews on Unilocal after calling several car shops in philly to get estimates for service. They were the least expensive option for an oil change and transmission flush and I was not disappointed at all. I just picked up my car after it was in the shop for about an hour and half even without an appointment. In addition to being less expensive than other auto shops they were also SO friendly and professional. They called to give me a price about and extra service I had asked about and then gave me an estimate of how much longer my car would need. They then called me right when my car was ready to be picked up, which is always helpful. When I got there to pay (which was the amount exactly that they said it would cost) I was pleasantly surprised to find out they also had replaced the bulb in my brake light (which I didn’t even know was out!). I will definitely be returning for future maintenance and recommend others do the same!

Honest, hard working, professional and sincere team. I would go there again at any time with no hesitation. These guys are a breath of fresh air among many bad dishonest mechanics.

I went in for an oil change and they went above and beyond and checked for other potential problems with my Lexus! They were really nice and I’d definitely go back for other services.

Professional. Friendly. Fair. Everything you could ask for! I was able to head over same day for an Oil Change, and what might have been the most painless auto-​related transaction I have ever had in my life. I will definitely be back!

Tried them for the first time yesterday for an oil & transmission fluid change. They were professional, efficient, friendly and reasonably priced. I even asked for an approx. price on a custom radio install and the estimate was reasonable. I would certainly recommend them. And as always I suggest starting with something small and affordable… so that if your experience is different… you haven’t lost/​risked much.

I have not actually brought in a car, but I was calling mechanics because I was looking for general advise before purchasing a used car. They were very helpful over the phone and recommended a body shop I can go to for what I actually needed. I will take car there and report back, but great customer service is half of the pie.

Don’t really leave reviews but hard to resist when their customer service and ultimate concern for your pocket and car is superb!

I’ve lived in center city of 3 years and tried 3 different mechanics before until I finally found Nu Era. They r a little bit far away from center city but the service is great. They are very honest and well priced. I’ve tried Firestone and other non-​corporate places… the price difference is crazy!!! and the service is better.
I had a battery leak the last time I was there and after anther mechanic couldn’t find it and second one refused to look because it was a «difficult job» Jason and kit took the car kept if for 3 day and looked every where until they found that the alternator itself (although it charged) was leaking and then charged only 70 $ for labour.
This time the muffler flex pipe had a hole and they worked with me and found a way to change just just the flex pipe and weld it instead of changing the whole muffler for much less!!!
In my limited experience best mechanic in town!!!

Jason and Kit are fantastic and 100% helpful. Affordable and thoroughly explain all work … I cannot recommend them enough!!!

Wish I could say something different than anyone else but unfortunately I have to join with all the other reviews and say how AWESOME these guys are. They know their technical automotive stuff, they are always accommodating, and are excellent when it comes to customer service. And of course last but not least, they have great prices. Their prices are just the icing on the cake. I am ok with patronizing a shop that gets it right the first time and knows what they are doing regardless if their prices are high. But with Nu-​Era Automotive they do all that and their prices are very reasonable and highly competitive!
I drive all the way from Rhawnhurst to South Philly for them to work on my car. I feel shops around me don’t want me money. They drag their feet, horrible customer service, and just overall lack when it comes to being a business. Not these guys. Give them a try and I promise you that you won’t turn back! I have had all kinds of work done here on my 2 cars and I just found them 3 months ago! Love them!

Kit was so accommodating, brought my Jeep Grand Cherokee in earlier than my scheduled appointment for window tinting and he was happy to get me in and out in 45 minutes. Such a great place and staff was so nice. The price was better than anywhere else I looked and the quality is excellent.

Came here last minute. Inspection tags expired yesterday and I know PPA would love to give us a little reminder, so I called Nu Era to schedule an inspection, I called at 3p and the were able to see me at 4:30p on the same day.
I dropped in, gave them my insurance and registration, they took my keys and brought the car in. Waiting area has comfortable seats, clean, has a bathroom, and the requisite car magazines.
Spoke to Kit, who was very friendly and introduced himself. He even printed a copy of my insurance for me so I wouldn’t have to show it on my app every time.
They had a nice 240sx outside and seem to cater to performance cars, but had sorts of vehicles in their garage.
Overall, nice to have a shop with friendly staff and reasonable prices. Glad I listened to the reviews and came here.
In the end, we talked about old loves: 6MTs, ITRs, STi’s, GS-​Rs. The trip down memory lane made me appreciate the group here even more.

Friday night 6 pm. They put 4 new tires on and wheel sensor was done by 645. Very professional. My wife always takes her car there and told me how well they treated her. They will see more of my 4 vehicles.

Needed my 08 bmw engine serviced because the check engine light came on. Jason got me in within the week. Great group of guys and their work is definitely the best in area. I was here before and their service and great attitude was the thing that kept me coming back. Their price on their labor tops off the cake.

Always friendly, always welcoming.
Super professional.
Super honest.
I’ve only gotten oil changes here because my car is newer but I would trust them with any repair considering how they present themselves and what I have read and heard about their other services.

The guys at New Era provide excellent customer service and are quick and efficient. One thing I appreciate is they don’t talk down to me or try to get over on me because I’m a woman. I go in for what I need, and leave with just that. It took me a while to find a mechanic here in Philly, but I’ve finally found one.

Great shop and super friendly! I had my oil changed and they came out and showed me how dirty the air filter was, so they replaced that too. I called an hour before closing and they took me right in!

Has been a busy Saturday trying to get long list of stuff done — an oil change was last item in list …
Closing in on 6pm (literally only a few minutes before), I found this highly-​rated shop on Unilocal,decided to made a hail-​mary call to see if they’d somehow get me in. After explaining my need and where I was, heard «you’re only couple miles away — sure, come over; we’ll get it done.»
Once I arrived the crew whisked car to an empty lift, efficiently changed oil, checked all other fluids … had me driving away in 15 minutes.
BTW — shop also does brakes, emission testing, electrical work, other mechanical repairs, window tinting …
— I plan on coming back for brake/​rotor work next week, after which car is ready for winter.
