I had to get the front end of my car repaired and the electronic system had to get fixed as well. My uncle recommended I go to Roan's Body Shop since they specialize in auto repair. Needless to say that the repair took a month, due to the significant damage that my SUV had sustained.But when I did get my car back, it looked brand new. Like nothing happened to it. I was so pleased and happy with the work that was done. I was also told that the rear of my SUV had to get realigned. I do not know why; I guess the other company where I had taken it before missed it somehow. I would highly recommend Roan's Body Shop over other repair places.Thanks for the hard work, Kevin. I love the job you did on my SUV.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Painting, Electrical, Body & Trim

I took my BMW to them to change oil because my friend recommended them. BMW filter caps have plastic inserts that are important for the oil system to function properly. Clearly they forgot to put that insert back in or simply threw it away out of negligence. The car started showing a "drivetrain malfunction" warning. I took the car back to them but they had no clue. The dealer immediately identified the problem, it cost me 150$ to replace the filter cap and the problem was solved. When I called the owner of the place (Kevin) he dismissed my concerns by saying that the insert "probably wasn't there to start with" and that "they don't throw stuff away". It's clearly not true because I have only been changing oil at the dealership before and there was no problem before I took the car to Roan's. The dealership actually immediately identified the problem (they said it happens often with unprofessional mechanics). Most likely the guy who did the job was clueless about BMW oil filters and Kevin or whoever his supervisor was didn't care to check. I learned my lesson well - when you try to save by taking the car to an unprofessional mechanic, it's going to cost you more. Stay away from this place at all cost! Also immediately after you enter, you sense something is not right - the customer area probably has never been cleaned and is full of some dirty stuff.

To make a long story short: Roan's did a difficult repair on my car for a very reasonable price, and I did not have to wait long.My car needed some repairs to the frame where it was badly rusted, and I had a lot of trouble finding a mechanic or body shop that does this type of repair. I found several shops that did this type of work in the past but not anymore.I called Roan's and they told me to bring the car there any time that same day. When I brought the car over, he looked at it immediately, gave me a price quote, and said that he could do the work three days later. It took only five minutes.I dropped the car off three days later and they finished it exactly when they had said it would be ready. They did an excellent job at a reasonable price and I am very pleased. The staff was friendly and courteous and I would highly recommend them.The mechanic that did the state inspection confirmed that the work was done well and gave the car a new sticker. Thank you Roan's for getting my car back on the road!Service: Welding

My daughter is a student at Penn State, her tail light got damaged and I needed to have it repaired. I called Kevin Roan on Monday morning to ask if this was something they could do. He said yes and to have my daughter come over that day for an estimate. Their shop is 1.5 miles from Penn State so she drove over on Monday. He quoted her 20 minutes for the repair and said he could order the light that day and fix on Wednesday. The part came in when he said and she went over and he fixed while she was waiting and only charged the cost of part and 20 minutes labor. My daughter said they were REALLY nice and took great care of her. If ANYONE needs auto service for their Penn State student I Highly recommend Kevin and his teamService: Body & Trim

I was asked to bring my car in on a Thursday morning so I went here to get a rattle in my car checked out. While I was in the middle of describing the issue to the tech, his boss drove up and interrupted us to talk about something else.I was mid sentence and the mechanic walked away. He went into the office to keep talking to his boss. After 5 minutes of waiting outside, I walked in and asked "is now not a good time?". The tech replied with "yeah we're really busy today and tomorrow, then we're closed over the weekend and Monday, but bring it back in Tuesday "Unbelievably bad customer service. I can't speak to the quality of repairs, so I won't give 1 star, but I have never received such poor customer service at a mechanic.

I recently had the rocker panel replaced on my Fusion because of rust. I was recommended to this shop and I am extremely happy with the work. It looks brand new and almost perfect. It did take a while for the part I need replaced to come in but that was an issue with the shipping company. Once the part came in it took them the precise amount of time that I was quoted and more importantly it costed the exact amount I was quoted. I will go back there in the future if I need more body work done.Services: Painting, Body & Trim, Welding

My family has been taking our vehicles to Roan s Body Shop for over 20 years. I ve been taking my vehicles there since I was 16. Being a young and inexperienced driver I ended up in two accidents in two different vehicles. Russell helped me to navigate the adjustment process then did two stellar repairs in a turnaround time second to none. The one accident required to have the entire front end of the car replaced and it was ready to go from accident to beach vacation in 4 days. Russell and Kevin do excellent work at an affordable rate and are honest and efficient. I ve never felt mislead or taken advantage of. This is the only garage my cars will ever go to. Best body shop in central Pennsylvania.

I appreciate Roan's business fixing my car. Due to roadkill on a highway, my car needed new cooling and AC system. Along with the mechanical jobs, they restored the vehicle's exterior as if it were new.�I received an impression�that they would do�their best to fix the car and return it as soon as possible. If there is a delay, it is probably due to other factors they cannot control.

I was looking at a 2004 Honda Civic Si from Avarie Autosports, and decided to get a pre-purchase inspection before negotiating with the salesman. When we brought it to Roan's they said it would be $20 to do the inspection, but as soon as they lifted it, they saw it was essentially scrap due to the rust situation under the car. They were very straightforward, and said it both wasn't road worthy, and that whoever last inspected it shouldn't have a license. They only charged me $10 instead of $20.Great to work with, and highly professional in their service (family friend has gone to them for years) and opinions.

My Subaru Impreza had a lot of rust damage. Roan's was recommended for rust repair. It took four weeks, which wasn't an issue since it was summer, since parts had to be fabricated. The finished work looks great and the price was good. They don't have a fancy waiting room and receptionist, they're all about doing the work right.

I had some rust on my rear quarter panel of my car and I came to Roan's because of their cheaper prices. I wasn't expecting the outcome to look as good as it did. When I got the car back it looked brand new in the spot that needed to be fixed, paint matched perfect and rust was gone. Took a little longer then expected but well worth the money.

This small family business does great work promptly. After I hit a deer with my 2018 Chevy Volt, Stocker Chevrolet (where I'd bought the car) said they couldn't start the repairs until February 1. But Roan's got the car looking and driving like new by December 20.

Roan s Body shop is THE place to get your car repaired!!! I was recently hit by a big garbage truck while I was sitting at a red light, in icy conditions. I drive a little VW beetle, so a big hit from a truck going fast while I was sitting still did a lot of damage. My car was wrecked, and after looking at the reviews, I decided to take it to Roan s to get fixed. They have an amazing work ethic- he worked around my schedule to fix the car, and did not finish his work with my car until I was sure that it drove just right, and until I felt comfortable with it (which truly says a lot about their business), and he completely fixed my car in less than 3 weeks.... this was amazing, considering how much damage was done. It looks brand new, and I could not be happier to have chosen Roans to fix my bug!!!

Very honest man I met there. He helped me fix my brake light with less time than smoke a cigarette. And very honest price here, I got a quote from another shop charging me around 70 bucks while here only several bucks, bare enough to buy a new bulb. I would definitely go back next time, very nice shop!

Got windshield wipers changed at this shop. Next time I used the wipers was on the highway. They literally flew off and I had to walk next to a busy 65 mph road to get them back. At least they replaced them.

Wow. Visited on Monday to make appt. Dropped car off early Tues morning, picked it up that same afternoon. Two repairs done that we'd put off for months (bumper, sun roof). And the cost? Remarkably low. Russell was no-nonsense and efficient. <> Five stars <>

Never go to them. These guys are thieves, yes, exactly! They said the job would cost 200$ and billed for 500$, didn't even call or tell about. And later argued that they had said 500$. Very sad. The work was pathetic, my car had more problems after coming out of this shop than before. Never go here..NEVER EVER Would have given them -5 star if there would have been. # yes i am pissed at them

This body shop deserves a 5/5. I went through 10 different body shops when my car broke down in PA. Thankfully I found this body shop on google and the guys here got me in so quickly and gave me the best price and service. It was quick and affordable, and the service was outstanding. Thank you!

This body shop has destroyed every part of my vehicle it has touched. I got my car from my mother, who had previously always taken it to Roan's for work. My husband's family is full of mechanics, so I had no need to take it to a garage after I got ownership. While getting it serviced throughout the past two years, it has been discovered that every single one of my lug nuts were stripped, my oil plug was tightened an ungodly amount and then sealed with silicone because the o-ring was damaged (rather than it just being replaced), and my headlights were completely out of alignment. I wouldn't recommend this body shop to anyone.

These guys my be the only place in town that will fix rust and do custom repair work. i had a fleet of custom trucks that needed rebuilt box supports, Kevin and his team made new parts from scratch, other than mining the raw materials i mean!

The staff is friendly and the finished work is great and prompt. Plus, the price is quite reasonable compared to others. Highly recommended if you have some small body issues on the car.Service: Body & TrimService: Body & Trim

I found good reviews about how low their pricing are so I gave them a call.The guy who responded to my call seemed to be a bit disrespectful, probably when he knew I am a foreigner "foreign ethnicity".He just replied with "no I can't do that", and when I asked why he said "I'm not interested".I'm not sure if he's just that dry and its his nature but I felt offended to be honest.

They are very friendly, smart, and professional.When you give them your keys, they handle your car as it is their car. The price was very reasonable.

I have been taking my car(s) to Roan's for many years and probably have saved thousands of dollarscompared to other auto repair shops. Roan's do excellent work at a very affordable price.

I had a car that needed rust repair and although I didn't want to hear the price, he gave me the straight scoop, in that it would have totaled the car. Other places wouldn't even touch it nor could I even get a quote from anyone else.

Local State College shop and much more then a body shop, general repairs as well as Pennsylvania Inspection Station. Owned and operated by local State College men and women. Also good for restoration of some cars.

I want to give them 0 star if I can. It's the worst shop I have known! The service is very very rude!!!I checked everyday if they can get it done in time and every time they impatiently said no problem. However, the last afternoon I called them they told me they could not get it done and I had to wait to an uncertain period. I will never ever go to this shop again!
