About us

We are a 5 employee, family-run business started by my Dad in 1948 and have been in the same location in Ruchsville PA since 1955. Our two promises to all our customers are "Quality and Honesty since 1948" and "We do it right!". We work with that focus in mind every day. We offer a full labor and parts guarantee. If you have any questions about a job, we encourage you to ask. We don't do work that isn't necessary. We give free estimates and we stick to them. If unexpected complications arise during a job, we call the customer to explain the problem, estimate any increased costs, and get permission to proceed. There are no surprises when you come to pick up your vehicle. We work on all makes of cars, trucks, trailers, and campers. We do motorcycle inspections and inspection repairs on cycles too. Depending on what you need done, we'll also fix your riding or push lawnmower, patch or replace your garden tractor tires or belts, weld a broken bracket, offer you a tow through a contracted towing service, or do a custom-bent dual exhaust system on your street rod or classic car. In short: We do it all - we do it right!! Come see us; you'll brag about us to your friends and wish you'd found us sooner.

Description of Work: I took my father's car there to have the brakes checked and also to be checked for a possible oil leak. They checked the brakes and said they were fine and replaced a bolt and tightened all the others on the oil pan. They charged me $94.00. I felt that I was overcharged a lot. Maybe because I am a woman!

They were very nice and very professional. They don't have any overhead in the upkeep of their garage and I think they pass that on to their customers in their fair pricing. My dad said he would go back and he's very hard to please.
Description of Work: Inspected my dad's 1991 Honda Accord.

Response from SYMONS GARAGE
A hearty "thank you!" to (Member name removed) for recognizing our efforts at providing quick and easy motorcycle inspections to our friends on 2 wheels! As a rider myself (since 1964) I know you would rather be riding than waiting around for an inspection to be completed. That's why we offer "no appointment necessary" bike inspections! Thanks again to Tara for taking the time to give us a nice recommendation! Andy Symons

They have good quality service. The people there are dependable and responsible. When I first went to them, they were trying to fix something. Symons kept the car for about a week, and he was trying to diagnose the problem. It took them a week working on it. When they are working on a car, they brainstorm and they take a break. They look at it if it works. He only charged me a little, where he could have make a fortune out of it. I was very surprised! They were honest and dependable.
Description of Work: I used Symons Garage. They did our wiper motor.

I'm always so gratified when we receive a great review like this one from (deleted member name), because we try very hard to please our customers. Our goal is to fix it right the first time, at a fair price, and to only fix what's actually broken. We have two mottos: Honesty and Integrity Since 1948. and.....We Do It Right!

My son was living in New York and his car had a problem with some noise in the car. He drove it to a garage and they quoted him $500. I asked him to bring his car to Symons Garage and repaired the same for just $175. Apart from the repairs, they also inspected the car. About a year ago, when the interior light went off, 2 garages quoted me over $500 and advised may cost me more. I then drove my car to Symons Garage and they fixed the same for just $312. They are very pleasant and honest. The place is clean and has all kind of magazines for people who wait in the garage. I like their services and will use the same in future.
Description of Work: My son used the services of Symons Garage, about 6 months ago.
