Fitzgerald’s Tire & Auto Service

Dropped my car off for an inspection, made an appointment a few days beforehand, since I read many reviews saying how busy this place was. It’s very busy! I got a little stressed out about where to park my car because everywhere was full. I went inside and I was taken care of very nicely. I was expecting a $ 700 bill after everything was said and done because that’s usually what ends up happening to me after I get my car inspected. It was a fraction of that! They called me and told me what my options were and asked me if I wanted to go ahead with whatever they recommended to do. Every other car place I’ve been to pretty much just did whatever they wanted and told me afterwards. I’ll be going here from now on!

Very affordable, accepts walk-​ins, very friendly and welcoming and they keep it straight up. I have been going here for approximately one year. One time when my tire had a flat I took it to my dealer and they tried to charge me for a whole new tire. I took it to Fitz and they filled the hole. Tire has been fine for going on 6 months. What I like the most about Fitz is they’re really nice and friendly people. Some auto places are not so nice customer service wise but these guys are great.

Honest mechanics, friendly service, fair prices — wouldn’t imagine taking our cars anywhere else.

These guys are great. I have absolutely no complaints about this place. Their work is fantastic, thorough, honest and well priced. Due to the nature of my business, I am on the road all the time… so I have taken my car to Fitzgerald’s for just about everything imaginable. This is the only auto mechanic/​garage that actually told me that I didn’t need work that I thought was necessary.
If you seek a mechanic for any reason, I highly recommend you give Fitzgerald’s a try.
As others have mentioned, they are busy. Its rare to get service without an appointment. If your car needs immediate attention be prepared to wait. Good and honest businesses tend to be very busy.

Why do the car gods detest me? Why is it that when you need a tire, all of the other tires decide that they will miss their friend and commit a sucide pact? All four tires at once. UGH! My father-​in-​law was a mechanic at GM for 40 years and loves to research the best and least expensive options for everything. I swear the man was on the phone for a week.
After all of his hard work, he said Fitzgeralds was the best in price. We went to get the tires– Greg Paton is the BEST mechanic ever. honest to a fault and really just so nice. I have never left anywhere for car issues happy until now.
You guys had me at hello and I am never leaving you again.

I’ve been going to Fitzgerald’s for almost 10 years now. I’ll be completely honest about how I first tried it. I was a young, single woman, newly on my own and didn’t have my father or a boyfriend to take care of my car for me. So, I looked for a clean, busy, big garage — and I found Fitzgerald’s.
They’ve helped me with everything from oil changes to tires, a new transmission mount and a broken air conditioner blower. They always use genuine Honda parts for my Honda — no aftermarket junk — and the prices are very fair.
Mechanics have a reputation for ripping people off, and, honestly, I wouldn’t know if I were paying too much, but my husband worked in a garage in college and has also been impressed with Fitzgerald’s.
One piece of advice — they are busy, so don’t waste your time — call for an appointment and drop off your car. It’ll be worth it.

The service is great, very prompt and courteous. We have been taking our cars here for quite some time and are never disappointed.

I actually found this place on Unilocal.Had a flat tire to get fixed and didn’t know of any places by me. My husband called because I read a review about it being busy (thanks! good tip) and they were able to take the car that day.
They did a fantastic job. Service was fast (It was just a tire I know, but still) and they were super friendly and professional. Service was excellent.

They ignored everything said I about the problem, assuming they could deduce it on their own simply by plugging into the car’s computer. They couldn’t, and charged me $ 60 for doing absolutely nothing — when I took it to another shop, and they listened to what I had to say about the problem with the vehicle, it was quickly resolved. I would never return here.

I was recently visiting the Philadelphia area and I had a problem with my tire and needed it replaced. The staff at Fitzgerald’s was very professional and was able to get a new tire for my car and get me back on the road in what I felt was very fast for what needed to be done. My sister lives in the area and has used them for her tires for years. They did an excellent job for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Fitzgerald’s!

I have been here once and got excellent service. They can fix any problem in any car. highly recommended. Here are pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Very professional staff. No messing around. They tell you as it is.
2. Got my prior approval before starting the repairs (after they figured out the exact problem).
Cons:
1. They are VERY VERY busy. Appointments needed way in advance. (like 2 – 5 days). Dont even think of oil-change…they may do that stuff, but you will have to wait like 2 days to get it done! (unless you got an appointment, then maybe…)
On the contrary, being a busy place means they are good at what they do.
2. Seems like their working hours are slightly shorter than comparable businesses.
Overall, an excellent place for auto repair.
Many of my colleagues use them.
BTW, if you didnt notice already, today is «auto-​repair day» on Unilocal for me. I got my oil change and decided to review all the auto — repair places I have been to in this neighbourhood. Hey, I gave 3 of 4 positive reviews. Thats pretty cool for this sort of a business!
