Highly recommend!
Best in Philadelphia, and great prices! I went to a few other local places in the area, and no one cared as much as them. They gave me a complete, full diagnostic and didn't rush through anything. I will definitely keep them as my car’s primary care provider from now on.
I got my passenger axle, rotors, back brakes, and a full diagnostics

So I went with my brother yesterday to purchase a vehicle and the guy he met through Facebook selling the vehicle turned out to be a con-artist!!
My brother being very smart set up a inspection at 8 Cylinders Auto Repair and had the vehicle inspected, the guy tried getting my brother to meet him at a Auto zone to get it checked out smh!!
They lifted the car and the rear differential literally fell to the ground and he claimed he knew nothing about it!!
Then he said he had a second vehicle that would pass so we waited and got that one inspected and there was about $2,000 in work that needed done and this guy wouldn't even negotiate the asking price of $4,500 for a 2014 with over 100,000 miles on it!!
8 Cylinders Auto Repairs mechanics were very knowledgeable, respectful and honest about everything that was wrong with both vehicles. Unlike some places who might turn a blind eye for a few dollars not these guys!! Very professional and good at what they do!! If you need any type of work on your vehicle I really recommend you go check these guys out!! Fair and reasonable prices as well.. You won't be let down..
