HORRIBLE experience!!! I was recommended by my original mechanic Dave’s garage who does not do inspections . to go to this place for my cars oil change and Inspection sticker . I scheduled the drop off day for today with Mike . He told me on the phone to try and drop the car off as close to 8am as possible. Today I arrived at 9:26am and the first thing Mike felt the need to say to me is that you were supposed to drop it off at 8am . With an attitude and blunt. I told him that it’s Monday morning I have kids that had to get to school I have a business that I needed to run and arrange a ride home from here because I’m leaving this car . And I’m here as close to 8am as I possibly can be. Anyway I proceed to tell him that I also need some additional small work done an oil change and to put a

We have been taking our cars to Bob at Skippack Automotive for years and have always had excellent service. Whether it is for an oil & filter change, inspection, or a more specific repair issue, Bob is always keeping an eye out for other services one may need. He'll tell you if something can wait to be done or should be addressed now. I have recommended Skippack Automotive to friends as I feel it is also important to support local / hometown businesses.

I do a lot of my own work on our cars but for inspections or jobs I can't or don't want to do we take our cars here. We have been using Bob's place since we moved into the area 8+ years ago. He is not cheap but he's fair. If you want the lowest price and a mechanic that will let your car's faults slide go elsewhere. If you want your car operating safely and well this is where to go.

I was so astounded by TOTAL lack of integrity, that it’s taken me a couple of weeks to decide to write this. People need to be aware, to protect themselves! This place is clean, the people are tidy and polite - VERY deceptive, indeed! Bob, the owner, tried to turn a simple belt replacement into a $1500 job! I don’t like being lied to, in decreasing increments, as he realized I wasn’t falling for his tricks. The worst part was, while I’m standing there, with my head under the hood, and he’s telling me that my water pump needed to be replaced because it was leaking - Btw, my water pump was not leaking prior to it’s arrival there, was not leaking there, and is STILL not leaking! My head gasket is also fine, and - although he swore the car was ‘missing’ when he called me, that must’ve magicall

UPDATED REVIEW I no longer can recommend Skippack Automotive. I dropped off my truck for state inspection after first having gone over it myself. (I am a licensed state inspector myself, have been an ASE certified master technician, and have manufacturer certifications, but am not currently working at an inspection station.) Bob called telling me they were failing it for too much play in the pitman arm. When I checked it myself, it was marginal, but I was okay with replacing it. Bob also wanted to replace the idler arm while he was at it, and also tried to upsell a fuel filter, saying that the existing one was looking like it had been there a while, and looking for permission to look into noise from the transfer case. I was interested only in the pitman and idler arms, but unfortunat
