These Are Phoenixville's Best Auto Repair Shops, Analysis Says

PHOENIXVILLE, 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 Phoenixville area, to determine which offer the best service based on price and quality.

The following Phoenixville area shops were included in the analysis: David Kanaskie Auto Services, Kelly Chevrolet, Saunders Auto Center, Strada Auto Repair, and New Street Auto Service (Spring City).

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, New Street had the lowest price, coming in at 31 percent below the average cost. Strada Auto had by far the best ratings, however, scoring 100 percent for overall quality based on 28 reviews.

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