Not only do I trust my vehicle to Holsinger's but both my wife and daughter's cars are serviced and repaired there. Jim is a very trust worthy man. I highly recommend this garage if you are looking for a place to have repairs, inspections or a second opinion this is the place to go. You will get straight answers. NO BS

My car sounds beautiful. Jim fixed the dealership's mistakes and was also extremely polite. It was an affordable repair and wonderful service. I don't trust easily, but now I have no doubts. I will be giving reccommendations because I am completely satisfied with the service.

I've been going to Jim since I moved to PA for school 5 years ago. He's done work on all 3 of the cars I've had during this time, from a 2005 Pontiac to a 2018 Hyundai. Service is quick, affordable, and always top notch. This guy is smart as a whip. For proof, check out some of the cars he built in his lot!

If you care about your car don't take it to Jim. I took my 87 dodge Ram in to have new intake manifold new carb valve covers along with other things. He couldn't get my intake sealed after 2 times and never got back to me to fix it.SO I went in to get my throttle cable he said he installed only to get a big box of my parts that I thought was on my truck like a chrome fuel line with filter, throttle plat and linkage that is causing me shifting and kick down issues, other carb parts and engine hard where. Now it has cost me a lot more MONEY trying to get it straightened out.I feel like he ripped me off.

Stopped on my way into work fearing I had a leak in a tire. Garage down the road gave me air, but didn't have time to check. I was worried about getting on the highway or leaving it all day and arriving to my car after work to find a flat on a hot and humid summer day. Stopped at Holsinger's and Jim stopped what he was doing and helped right away at no charge. I made an appointment for other work and will go to him from now on. It is so hard to find an honest and reasonable repair shop in this area, and in general. So glad I found it!

I recently dealt with the proverbial blown head gasket on a 2011 Impreza. Jim found another EJ25 motor, swapped out the engine which took care of the blown heads, any questions surrounding the water pump, the timing belt, and got rid of that annoying heatshield rattle on the exhaust manifold that's common on older subbies. EXCELLENT service, EXCELLENT price, GOOD turnaround time (it was around Thanksgiving and, at the time, Jim was dealing with a busted ankle).Now that it's been about 1k miles, he asked that I bring it back so he can take a look at it to make sure everything is in order. That's CARE!I won't hesitate to take my vehicles to Holsinger's in the future.P.S. He came highly recommended by Bob at Cross Radiator up in Milesburg, another great shop for anything cooling/AC related.

Terrible experience. I waited a week for my inspection. The "servicing" was awefull, they didn't check any of my fluids. I do not recommend I would go as far as to say to avoid this garage at all costs.
