We were visiting from out of town and our car was having an issue. The owner squeezed us in on a busy day to do a test to see what the problem was. This act of kindness was very much appreciated!!

Last year (2021) I took my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the Smethport Garage (109 Hill Street, Smethport PA 16749) for inspection. It needed new brake lines in the rear and some exhaust work.
Six weeks later I was pulling into a friends driveway and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor, no resistance whatsoever. I downshifted and applied the emergency brake and got stopped without hitting another car that parked in the driveway. I called Smethport Garage and told them what happened, then had AAA tow the Jeep. The next day I received a call from them and was told that someone put thee wrong type of brake fluid in it and it destroyed the seals in the master cylinder.
"Who last put brake fluid in it?" they asked.
"You guys," I answered.
A couple days go by, I don't hear anything. I try calling every day. No one answered so I left messages. No response. Finally after 3 more days I get a phone call from them saying that there is an additional valve in the brake system and the seals were bad in it too. That part was no longer being manufactured but they were looking for a used one.
Communication with them was extremely poor. They would not return calls. It took over three weeks before I got my Jeep back. There was no bill. Nor was there an apology for a incompetent work that could have killed me and others. The brakes were working, but the pedal went down farther that it did before.
So this year I go to another garage for inspection and am told that the entire exhaust system needed replaced (including the cat converter), that the present one had only front and rear hangars and it had buckled in the middle. In addition, it had been cobbled welding different bits and pieces together. A year the abject incompetence of the Smethport Garage is still costing me money.

Had a hole in my catalytic converter and spent over a grand to fix. A month later it falls off the exhaust while driving and dragging on the road. Told them about the issue which they did work on again (still for 300 bucks) and yet again it's already starting to hang again...miss Claycombs!
