I love it here! It is local and they are very flexible with time. They always call me while working on my car to come up with a very affordable solution and aren't pushing me to do unnecessary work just to make a buck.Kevin is a genuinely great guy and mechanic! I've had long talks with him about his past and how he got into this trade. He is extremely insightful and very thorough.I highly recommend!!

Kevin is such a high quality human being. He exudes honesty. I don't even know if his prices are competitive or not because you can't put a price on that level of service and trust.Kevin is always very upfront about my car. He is thorough. He never does the bare minimum. He is always looking out for red flags even if it is not what you brought your car in for. More than once, he has mentioned to me how important it is for him to do his work the right way because people trust their lives with their car. He takes his work seriously and this is the man I want working on my car. He is a man of faith, so for me this tells me all I need to know about him as a person and as a businessman. Highly recommend using him for all levels of work on your car. Always a pleasure to deal with him and interact with him.

Kevin at Valatis is a true friend of the community. Any issue that I have with my car I know that it will be done promptly and honestly. It s very difficult to find a shop you can truly to trust. I m very grateful to have Valatis so close.Highly recommended to drivers who are tired of run arounds, delays, and the general lack of care that so many shops struggle with.

Kevin is such a wonderful mechanic! Fair prices and excellent customer service. I came in before a cross country road trip and he got my car in immediately, performed the necessary maintenance to make sure my car made it safely across the US, and had me on the road within 24 hours. I will sincerely miss having Kevin and the wonderful Valatis crew as my mechanics. If you are in need of a mechanic truly give these folks your business - they treat you like family, and that's a rarity these days.Services: Wheel alignment, Auto maintenance

Kevin is a great mechanic, honest and fair and incredibly nice. He ll point out to you exactly what s going on, even if he has to raise it up on the jack. Just so you understand exactly what the repair is. Very helpful.

Reasonable prices. Friendly service. The owner/manager is knowledgable, honest, and will take time to explain the work done or to be done on your vehicle.

Valaitis Motor Inc. and its owner/operator Kevin are an exceptional auto repair shop in South Philadelphia. From fast and affordable oil changes to more complex repairs, Kevin delivers the highest level of expertise and quality in every job.What sets Valaitis Motor apart is their genuine commitment to customer needs and budgets. Kevin is a compassionate listener who always takes the time to understand his clients' concerns and limitations. When my car did not pass inspection, he made a series of timely and affordable repairs to get it back on the road. And when a friend of mine needed auto-body work on a tight budget, Kevin listened to her needs and did only the repairs that were necessary, with no hidden fees or unnecessary extras.But what really impresses me about Kevin and his business is the sense of community that they foster. Kevin is a friendly and approachable person who always greets me and my dog on our walks around the neighborhood. You can tell that he has developed valuable and genuine relationships with his clients and the community.Overall, I highly recommend Valaitis Motor Inc. for anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and community-oriented mechanic in South Philadelphia. Whether you need routine maintenance or more complex repairs, Kevin and his team will always provide exceptional services that exceed your expectations.Services: Auto body & trim repair, Vehicle Inspection, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Vehicle safety inspection, Oil change

I have lived in Philly for 12+ years and have yet to find a better mechanic. Kevin has been working on my car since 2011. He and his team are not only take great care of my vehicle, but as someone who doesn't know much about cars, he makes it easy understand what needs to be done. His prices are also the best I've found in the city. They are incredibly trustworthy and have been extremely helpful when I've ever had a problem. Highly recommend.

We love Valatis! We have lived in the neighborhood for almost 7 years and have been taking our car here ever since. They have been so good at helping us keep our car in good shape and also going above and beyond when we are in a pinch. When we recently had a flat tire, they rush ordered another one overnight and had our car back within 24 hours. As a family with children and one car, this was so huge for us! Having a trusted mechanic cannot be underestimated!!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Wheel alignment, Battery, Oil change

I have been going to Kevin since I moved to the neighborhood 2 years ago, and I would never use anyone else. Kevin and his team always let me drop of the car at any point during the day and immediately give me a diagnosis or service on the car by the end of the day. Always a more than fair price. Always an excellent job done. One of the only service shops I have ever been to that is honest and values customer satisfaction. I highly recommend using his services.

Kevin, Duke and company have been better than anything I would have expected from a mechanic shop. They truly provide a people-focused service. It's not just about fixing cars.I've even introduced my 3 year old son to Kevin as we walked past his shop.

Valatis is the best place to take your vehicle for any service needed. Honest, friendly and excellent work. Kevin does work on a few vehicles of mine (all over 10 years old).....and they are running like new! I will never take my vehicles any where else.

I moved to South Philly and had Kevin do work on my car 3 times now. I trust them because I'm in my car 12 hours a day for work. Alignments, new tires, top offs, oil, trans, everything came out great. Thank you Valatis mechanics,( Duke) and I'll only be choosing this shop.

Kevin is by far the best person to help me with my cars. He s prompt and straight forward. There is no better place to get any work done on your car. As an aside I also had body work and they literally overshot their timeline by 3 days!!!! We are so lucky to have him in our area but definitely recommend others from outside the area to try him out and hit up the target down the block to kill time.

We've been using Kevin for the past 5 years and we wouldn't take our cars anywhere else. Kevin is trustworthy, reliable and his prices are always reasonable for the job at hand. It is hard to find those traits in a good mechanic which is why we value Kevin and his staff so much.

I always highly recommend this place to all friends in the area. Kevin and team are friendly, professional and get work done quickly every time I bring my car or wife s car here. He s spotted issues before they became bigger issues for me and put the car up on the lift to show me instead of having to take their word and explained the issue and options for fixing.Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Brakes, Oil change

I've been taking my vehicles here for over 10 years. Kevins a great guy and even better mechanic. Don't have to worry about him trying to sell you a service you don't need, he's as honest as they come. At a time when many manual labor trade prices are skyrocketing, auto mechanics especially, his prices are more than fair, especially when you consider the quality work he does.

I have trusted Kevin at Valatis with my cars for 4 years. He is always straightforward with me about the service needed and helps me keep my 13 year old Jeep running year after year! He always gives a reasonable quote. I wouldn t go anywhere else.

This is a great shop. They've done my inspections and a front end alignment that got a little involved, and fixed a problem that I didn't even know what it was (turns out it was a fuel filter or something). Kevin keeps me updated on what's going on and will explain things to me so I get what he's doing, and still the shop runs pretty fast. My 16 year old Honda Element has been to mechanics all over Philly; some have been good, some have been ripoff artists, some are talkative weirdos. Valaitis is a trustworthy place, and I've recommended them to friends. No one's felt like they were steered wrong.

I have been going to Valatis for years - Kevin has always been honest and upfront with me and everyone else I have referred him to. Competitive pricing compared to other local shops and MUCH cheaper than a dealer with the same level of experience and skill. Bernie
