Fantastic. We were moving cross-country, and I can't say enough about how fantastic Tim and his wife were. While breaking down is never good, we were lucky to break down where we did.

Tim is the best!!!!!!. He's saved me a load of money over the years. He's a magician with Toyota's and Honda's. Lexus runs perfectly after oxygen sensor replacement. Very honest guy with a great sense of humor.

State Inspection is pretty straightforward. Tim covered all the bases and the vehicle passed. He also notified me of the thinning brake pad linings on the front discs and the need for new rotors. They passed state inspection, but would need to be replaced soon. With winter on the way, I wanted to just get it done now. He made room for me in his very tight schedule to get the needed repairs the next morning. Fair price, great service. He has done other work for me in the past. He is extremely knowledgeable about foreign vehicles of all makes. I hope he never retires!

Excellent. Tim is the smartest, fairest, trades person I have done business with in Mercer County.
Description of Work: I am a regular customer. Tim McCandless charges me $2 to replace a taillight (to cover the lamp). I usually give him a $5 for his trouble. Over the years he has done more challenging jobs on my diesel Jetta. For example, he replaced the timing belt and he does my inspections. He is a brilliant trouble shooter on auto mechanical and electrical issues. I see that he does a lot of work on foreign cars including insanely difficult restoration jobs like total rewiring of the electrical system of a 1970's vintage Porsche. He also works on regular US cars -Chevy's, etc. His shop charges for actual timer and materials not using standard book labor charges like most. So if you are doing several things at once, you save in the synergy of the mechanic getting access to the work. His hourly rate is reasonable though I can't recall what it is. If you have a tough issue, he is worth the drive from the Youngstown area. He works with a one or two other mechanics.
