The Malvern Area's Best Auto Repair Shops: New Analysis

MALVERN, PA — 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 several in the Malvern area, to determine which offer the best service based on price and quality.

The following area shops were included in the analysis:

Malvern

• Bob's Auto Repair (510 E. King Road)
• Dimontes Auto Service (415 Three Tun Road, #3)
• Steve's Service (145 Paoli Pike)

Paoli

• Del Chevrolet (1644 E. Lancaster Ave.)
• Paoli Auto Repair (7 Spring St.)
• Matthews Paoli Ford (100 W. Lancaster Ave.)

Frazer

• K & S Auto Service (173 Planebrook Road)

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.

According to the researchers at Checkbook, Bob's and Dimonte's in Malvern had the overall highest ratings, with top ratings in price and quality for both.

Over at K&S in Frazer, a customer lauded the business, saying "REALLY good. Have used them for 5 cars, including a diesel. Very knowledgeable. One repair problem, corrected without charge" in their review, according to the study.

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.
