Auto Specialties of Philadelphia

This establishment has some of the most genuine and honorable group of gentlemen that I've ever met in the automotive industry. I trusted them with my mother's vehicle that was totaled in an accident. The insurance company tried to put some garbage estimate together for repair, and they cared more about my mother's safety and fought to have the car totaled. They could have forced the repair to make money, but they didn't. Thanks, Dave and Al.

Dealt with Dave for over a decade. Very good mechanic. I won't take that away from him. However, don't buy cars from him or anyone he associates with. After giving this man our business non-stop for 12 years he sold my father a bad car with a bad transmission, knowingly. He even lied about check engine codes to us in a bid to "fix" it. Told us it was an 02 sensor, then something else, blah blah blah. Guy is a liar. I repeat DO NOT buy used cars from this guy Dave or his associates. You will regret it. We might have to take this guy to small claims court. Really sad. Dave I really hope it was worth it. All those years we were loyal to you and brought our cars. All of that gone now because you wanted a couple grand to rip my dad off. I guess the pill addiction getting bad huh. I should have known better after we got sold that trash Lexus in 2018 by your friend. *update* Since Davey boy decided to reply I'll add some more. Of course Dave can't actually contest the substance of what I said, he has to insult my Google username that I've had since I was 16 years old. Here are the facts. We purchased a 2013 Nissan Sentra from Dave and his loser associates (one of the losers actually lives out of the garage) at "Auto Specialties". He told my father it has a "brand new factory transmission". That was a lie. Dave and his dopey mechanics did a hatchet job on a rebuilt transmission that. The catalytic converter was also bad. It was missing the heat shield even LOL. I don't know what kind of dingus work they got going on down there but I'm happy to be free of this guy. Also, the tailpipe was completely fudged up, and was not coming out the back of the car far enough. Therefore EXHAUST was being pumped back into the car FOR MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO INHALE. Thanks Dave! That's real nice you would put a 7 year old kid in a dangerous piece of garbage like that. Really speaks to your morality! We took this car to a different, HONEST mechanic who didn't hold back. We got ripped off. I'm glad we found the guy, he's great. His name is Bill and he runs a shop right near Rhawn and the Boulevard. This mechanic actually recommended we take the car up to the state police barracks to show them the ILLEGAL work Dave was doing on the car. Dave ILEGALLY had this car "inspected" at his shop. You cannot put inspection tags on a car that's giving engine codes and has a tailpipe that is illegally assembled. Dave you're lucky we didn't take the damn thing to the police you con artist. What baffles me is Dave threw away years of business and goodwill just for one small used car sale. This guy threw away a steady stream of money we brought him for years. Inspections and any little problem we had. What a shame.
