They did a great job. Great service and quick. Everyone there was very nice. I'm from out of town but I would recommend this place to everyone who lives there and anyone traveling that needs service.

Got my car inspected and they really helped me out and was understanding. I had alot going on and was whiling to work with me when I had to get my paper work to them. They was nice and friendly. Highly recommend. Had no issues. Fairly priced too. Very helpful too as I'm new to all this inspection stuff, since just moving to PA.

Incredible service! Cannot recommend it highly enough! I went to college in Grove City and drove a 20 year old car. They helped me keep it on the road, and helped me stay within my college budget. They also made some great recommendations when I needed specialty work done (new exhaust pipe and A/C work). An honest group of mechanics who clearly love what they do.

We were on our way to Mid Ohio (from CT) towing a large trailer full of motorcycles when our truck's brake line began leaking fluid. We first tried another shop down the street that told us they couldn't promise they'd get to fixing our truck the same day. A quick google search led me to Mc Candless and they were super fast! As soon as we arrived they immediately located the leak, efficiently replaced the line and were super thorough - they torqued the wheel they removed and test drove the truck before they were finished. All the while everyone was incredibly friendly and pleasant. The price was very reasonable as well! We were sad we were only passing through because if we lived in the area we would be returning to this place for sure!!!

I just moved back from Florida and my battery went on my car. I have a foreign car that no one will replace the batteries except the dealership d/t a computer needed to reset my vehicle. The dealership wanted close to $500 for battery and labor. Tim was a recommendation from a family friend. He was able to order my battery, replace it next day and charge me a fraction of the cost the dealer wanted. I will be sure to bring all my business to Tim.

Took my wife's Ford Fusion in for an inspection knowing it would require some maintenance. They went the extra mile to help us save some money when they could have easily just thrown new parts at it and made more money. Good communication from start to finish and the quality of work was great. Finding a honest, quality mechanic is not easy. I'll be going there for any work that needs done in the future.

Take your vehicle here! He saved me THOUSANDS of dollars!When my check engine light came on, a dealership told me I would need a new transmission. I went here for a second opinion. He cleared the code, drove the car, and found NOTHING wrong! He didn't even charge me for the 15 minutes of wasting his time. I came back a second time when the dealership told me I needed new breaks. I brought it here to get it done, and he told me I could probably go another YEAR on these breaks and that it was UNNECESSARY to have it done now!I highly recommend taking your vehicle here. They are polite, and will check your problem immediately. We will take our vehicles here from now on.

Great service, great work. Worked with my college budget and treated me like a person even though they had a steady stream of customers coming in when I was there

I brought my infiniti there without an appointment and he was So kind enough to walk out in the snow, fix my windshield wiper blade brakes for free and give me a diagnosis. What a great stand up guy. When I need work done on my car this is where I will go from now on!!

Was on business trip with personal vehicle. Got fault codes on vehicle. Dealer says not available to check for several days. Called McCandless and Tim checked the codes, reset and advised it is OK to drive. Super helpful, didn't take any money.

We were in Grove City to be there for the birth of our first grandchild. After a late night at the hospital, we went to get coffee in the morning before going back to the hospital. Still in excitement mode, we locked our keys in our van. We randomly looked up the closest automotive service. We explained we were from Indiana and here for the birth of our grandson. Immediately McCandless came to us and used a tool to unlock our van. Thank You McCandless and Tim Stauffer!

Needed instant help while in town for my daughters graduation from Grove City College. Tim met me and graciously and expertly solved my problem and the price was more than fair. I wish he was in my home town!

The only place I will take my vehicles. They are far, straight and try to help you in any way they can. I have learned from experience with them that I can trust whatever they say and know they have my best interest in mind. Highly recommended!

Been going here for years with a BMW, a Jeep, a Jetta, and a very old suv. Tim is hands down the best and only person I trust. 10/10

Truly the best car diagnostician I've ever encountered. Very high quality work at honest prices. Strongly recommended.

I took my foreign car to this man because you know that s what he s supposed to specialize in & he did nothing for my car. I was in an accident in the car & one of my pistons has been misfiring & shifting incorrectly. This man laughed at me & told me all I needed was an oil change. Do not take your car here.

Can't say enough about how helpful and accommodating they've been, finding creative solutions for us that other local places couldn't. Great communication and great value.
