Bridgeville Automotive

They were professional, high quality and I was impressed with their workmanship and honesty. That's a big thing with them, they're very honest and fair.

Everything was excellent.

They did a lot. They do professional and high quality work. It's a fair price. They do everything well. Every time I had the car there they do well.

This was my first visit to Bridgeville Automotive -- previous inspections on my four-year-old car having been provided by the Nissan dealership at which it was purchased. Was advised that the car would not pass because of leaking rear shocks and that front brakes would barely pass and should be replaced very soon. Also they needed to "special order" new wiper blades because they were a "weird size" and a couple of other small items, for a total cost of about $950. Bridgeville replaced a small light bulb and cleaned the battery terminals (no charge) and billed me $71 for the inspection and emissions test. I declined the other recommended work, popped over to Auto Zone for wiper blades ($40) and took the car back to the dealership for a second opinion. Nissan pointed up the brake issue but found no other problems -- total cost $370. That's a pretty big discrepancy. Don't think I'll be going back to Bridgeville Automotive anytime soon.

Great service and great price - Bridgeville Automotive confirmed repairs that had been identified by the local Nissan dealer, but their price was significantly less than what Nissan wanted and the responsiveness and availability was much better. Ellen was great in keeping me informed of their findings and progress, and explained all of the charges in detail. I will definitely use them for future service needs.

Took over a week to get an appointment.  Filter gasket failed after service, but they worked hard to make it right.

Perfect! Not only in service but also on giving information on tires and how to best maintain them.

Good job.  Very friendly and personable...Very honest.  Decent value for quality of work.

The exhaust system on my 2005 Hyundai Accent had become increasingly noisy for about a two week period. I got under it with my iPhone and video taped from front to rear. Transferred recording to PC and saw that the flexible portion of the center pipe was rotted. I went online and found out what that part would cost me. Then I decided to join Angie's List to find a recommended shop to fix it. There wasn't much for my area for muffler repair, so I did a search for auto repair in general. That's when I discovered Bridgeville Automotive Inc. They had dozens of raving reviews and so I gave them a call. Jim, the owner, answered and said that they had a cancellation that day and that I could bring it over right away.
     I never mentioned that I had inspected the system or that I thought I knew the problem and the cost of the part. I just said that there was a new noise under the car. Sure enough, after he had examined the car, he said the flex pipe was leaking and his estimate for replacement was spot on. I then agreed to let him fix it and he provided me a ride back home. 
     When Jim called me to tell me that the car was finished, the price was the same as his quote. He then asked me if I needed a ride back to his shop. When I got there he brought out the old part and showed me the damage and explained the the remainder of the exhaust was in good condition. He also saw a check engine light on the dash and said that it was a Tranny Temp Sensor and not related to the exhaust system.
     The car ran like new on the trip home, quite as a mouse. I found that every step of the process was conducted professionally and fairly.  I will definitely return for future service and I have already recommended this shop to family and friends. I am also glad that I joined Angie's List.

We recently moved here and after seeing this company on AL, I stopped by to make an appointment for them to look at the car. The owner drove around the block with me, diagnosed the likely cause and had a tech remove my tire and fix the problem on the spot.  It was a fix that took a mechanics time and when I went to pay, the owner send me home.  The whole experience was so unexpected!  Between the natural friendliness and honesty of the staff, the instant attention...I've never experienced anything like it and am now a customer for life.  And yes, I do expect to make appointments.  :)

I have been looking for a top rate mechanic for years and have been paying outrageous prices to the Dealers for years until I went into Angies List and  based on the terrific recommendations of prior customers called Bridgeville- the first conversation was so informative and helpful that I thought it was too good to be true - I have become so used to problems with repairs - it was true - everyone at Bridgeville are great - no longer feel treated like a "dumb broad" - and have complete confidence in my new garage .

Excellent. You can trust them to give you the right advice, not just what they "can sell." They will only recommend necessary work.

My husband has used this service station many times in the past and had always had positive results.  We used them again today for service and they were very helpful and honest.  There was a very stressful situation with my vehicle that is too difficult to explain in detail here, but Bridgeville Automotive was very helpful in the matter.  We always speak with Ellen and she is always helpful and friendly.   I would like everyone to be very careful when calling or having you vehicle towed though.  There is another service station in that area with a very similar name and they are not reputable.  Please be careful and don't confuse the two companies.

Great as usual - Jim and his staff take care of my car like it was their own - prompt - friendly done right the first time - honest.

These guys are great. Do work with them all the time on both cars. They pick up, deliver - and are flexible when in a rush. Ellen 'runs the shop' and after a couple visits, you're friends - they know you and your cars.

It was because of Angie's List that I sought out Bridgeville Automotive.  They are also very conveniently located to our home.  I had let the dealer (Day West Liberty Subaru) perform the first couple services and decided Subaru America's pricing or Day's or whichever way the finger pointed was absurd and that I was finished overpaying for crappy service.  
Jim and Ellen were extremely friendly from the start.  They have a problem that most business owners wish they had - too much business from an excellent reputation.  Getting in is the only hard part of getting your service done here, but it's worth the wait to schedule in advance for routine maintenance.  If you had a big unexpected problem and were a regular customer, I have a feeling Jim would go out of his way to take care of you.  They are trying to acquire a larger garage to help meet the demand, but that's not an overnight endeavor.
Their price was extremely fair and the service performed was real, i.e. no $100 glances at a fluid or component.  I will concede many dealers have higher overhead that affects their pricing, but there is a limit of what I will absorb and the service level has to be there also.  Day wasn't cutting it, but we've gone out of our way to go to Pittsburgh East Nissan for years because of the level of service they provide.  Jim might steal their business even though they've been good to us simply because it's getting harder and harder to find time to make the drive to Monroeville for service.
I'm very happy with the experience and Jim seems to keep up a modern shop making it unlikely he couldn't work on something because he didn't have the right equipment, etc.  If that were the case, he would just tell you and send you somewhere that could help.  Conversely if you had a really old classic that was beyond him, he'd just tell you.
Another glowing review is only going to make Jim's "problem" of too much business worse, but if you own a commercial property suitable for a service garage you might have a buyer as well as a great mechanic to turn to.
