Ernie’s Auto Body

I came to Ernie’s for my car inspection after having literally being «cheated» by two other larger places in West Philadelphia – one told me my car needed $ 2000 worth of repairs to pass inspection; the other wanted to replace brakes that had been replaced a month earlier to pass inspection. At Ernies my costs immediately went down and my car runs like a dream. The repairs that they suggested were ones with which I agreed. So, if you want to have a legitimate annual inspection of your car, without trumped up fees added, I recommend Ernies.

Terrible Customer Service, Can Never get thru Via Telephone, Can Never Understand what the Owner Ernie is talking about, You Ask for A Diagnostic, and instead they jus Do the Work without your full consent and charge a arm and leg … VERY VERY DISPLEASED

We light candles in honor of Ernie at every Cathedral/​church we enter for he is our Old Car Savior.
We have 2 old cars– 1996 and 2004. Ernie is fair, quick and honest. Several times I have gotten written estimates from other shops and when I take it in to Ernie, he fixes the same job for pennies on the dollar. Needless to say, we give him a lot of business.
Well, today I was prompted to write up this little love letter to Ernie for the following reason:
I took my car for a simple repair at a closer shop and they estimated it would cost $ 168, require parts to be ordered and take 2 days. And I had to wait for an hour and 30 minutes for the mechanic to turn up to get the 4−1−1.
On a hunch I took it to Ernie immediately afterwards. He fixed it with a wrench in 6 minutes for free! No parts, NO CHARGE!
Signed,
Thoroughly besotted with Ernie
