Bob was very helpful. He quickly figured out that one of my wheel axle bearings was wearing down and needed to be replaced. He tested the bearings, found the one that was failing, and replaced it. He also called me when a sensor was stuck, asked if I wanted to proceed because it would cost more, and then shopped around to find the best price for the part. Based on a search online for similar bearing replacements, the cost was competitive with other shops. Overall it was a very good experience.

I called and left a message and Bob called me back quickly. I needed a tow truck to pick up our dead Yukon at the house. We live about 10 blocks away. With each phone call I left a message and he returned it very quickly.
He had the tow truck here by that afternoon. I needed to make sure I would be available b/c I told Bob I had a newborn and a 2 year old so our schedule is still a little hectic and he worked it out so the tow truck driver didn't need me at all. The car was in by 2pm and Bob quickly called me with what was wrong and an estimate. I told him to go ahead with his work.
I called him by 5pm and he said it would be done by 5:30. He promptly called by 5:30 and offered to drop it off HIMSELF if it would be EASIER FOR ME (at no extra cost!). My husband even said it wasn't a big deal to go pick it up and Bob insisted on dropping it off and not to bother getting the kids all bundled up and ready to go. It was SO NICE. IT made me feel like he was family doing us a favor.
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him myself b/c my husband drove him back to the garage to drop him off and pay but he honestly made that whole process SO VERY much Easier than we were anticipating. He even apologized for a very and quot;stiffand quot; bill for our first time using them. We were not expecting the car back for a few days and he got it back to us within a few HOURS! BRAVO.
I was most definitely use his services again. Thank you for your Very Friendly, Fast, and Professional Service.

"We are delighted to see your review here! Bob knows what it's like to bundle up little ones and then wrestle with car seats. It was an ugly, snowy day and he didn't want you to go through that, especially with a newborn. Plus, Bob believes that everyone should be treated with kindness. Thanks a million for this wonderful description of that day's happenings!"

Our daughters attend college in Erie, but being from the Pittsburgh area, we are not familiar with the Erie area. When our daughters called and told us they were having what sounded like major car trouble, we realized we had no idea how to find a reliable auto repair service. I thought of Angie's List and, in searching for repair shops in the area, found Nolan's. We gave them a call and took the car over. While the car sounded awful, it turned out to just be a problem with a spark plug wire. It was a minor and inexpensive fix, and our daughters had their car back in a couple of days, running great again.
While we decided to give Nolan's a call because they were open on Saturday and had good reviews, I have to say that the clincher was reading that Bob's wife says he can fix anything. This reminded me of my father, who worked on cars his entire adult life until he passed away last year. For the first time in my life, I had to trust someone else with one of our cars. I'm happy to say we made a great choice and highly recommend Nolan's.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Our daughter went to college in Minnesota, and now she lives in Chicago, so we know what it's like to arrange for and coordinate car repairs from a distance. We welcome your daughters to Erie, and we hope all their experiences here are good ones. This is Bob's wife writing. It must have been hard having to find a repair shop after so recently losing your father. My dad also worked on cars for his entire life and I always depended on him to fix things. Maybe that's why I took right to Bob when I met him 35 years ago. And he *CAN* fix anything! :-)"

Nolan's was super accommodating and courteous. I found the coolant leak this morning and called them. They got me in right away and were very fair with the pricing. They finished this afternoon, which is amazing. I felt respected and well taken care of. They were very honest and straight forward about what needed done. I plan to return to them on a regular basis for my future auto care. I drive a '97 Oldsmobile and plan to keep it going. Always grateful when someone get's the job done quick and efficient, so thank you Nolan's Auto!

ONE of Chryslers better ideas was to use a plastic connection on the radiator of the jeeps, when the cooling fan stopped working the plastic connector overheated and broke. Since it was made so it was not replaceable (another of Chryslers better ideas) the entire raditor has to be replaced, Nolan's were professional and very nice and I would certainly use them again.

I realized that I had a coolant leak when my heater started blowing cool air and my engine temperature started climbing rapidly. I managed to get my mini-van home and started calling around to garages I had used in the past. They were all busy and I needed to get the vehicle repaired quickly. So I checked on Angie's List and found Nolan's Auto Service. They were the closest garage on Angie's List that had an evaluation. I wasn't aware of them before this event, but they were only 1 mile from my apartment so I decided to give them a call. They said that if I could bring it in that day, they could take a look at it and work on it the next day. I took the mini-van to their shop later that day, and they called back with an estimate that evening. As promised, they repaired it the next day and their price was in line with their estimate. Since the repair, I have had no problems with the cooling system on the mini-van. I was impressed with their responsiveness, their professionalism and their price. I will definitely use them for any other repairs that I need on my cars.

He does a very good job. He is an honest guy. I have been there a couple of times for some small jobs and he hasn't even charged me for that. He is fast and gets the job done quickly.
