These Are The Best Local Auto Repair Shops, New Analysis Says

Finding a good mechanic can save you money and time. A new analysis by the nonprofit Delaware Valley Consumers' Checkbook looks at more than 380 auto repair shops in the region, including three locally, to determine which offer the best service based on price and quality.

The following local shops were included in the analysis: Grove Auto and Transmission at 75 Grove Street in Haddonfield; Tony DiCesare’s Auto Service at 301-305 Haddon Avenue in Westmont; and Jafstram Imported Car Services at 869 Haddon Avenue in Collingswood.

Checkbook's evaluations of hundreds of shops in the Delaware Valley area include its ratings for quality and price. Its ratings are based on more than 8,500 reviews by local consumers, consumer agency complaint records, more than 1,500 price checks by its undercover shoppers, and other sources.

Grove Auto and Transmission scored 100 percent for quality, and its $83 price tag is 17 percent lower than the average.

Tony DiCesare’s Auto Service scored 94 percent for quality and its price of $89 is 11 percent lower than the average.

Jafstram Imported Car Services scored a 91 percent for quality and its price of $95 is 5 percent lower than the average.

Until April 1, Checkbook is offering free access to its ratings of area repair shops to Patch readers in the Delaware Valley area via this link: https://www.checkbook.org/PatchDEL/autorepair.
