Great shop!! With a very helpful and knowledgeable owner. Been coming here ever since I moved to Philly. I’ve gotten my pa inspections, oil changes, brakes and repairs done there. I would recommend to anyone in the Philly area. Note that they specialize in foreign cars.
Been using them for years I trust them and they do a good job. Highly recommend.
Theyre a great family run business and they really take care of you. Ive never had issue getting an appointment (usually day of) and they do great work. When I had an issue resurface, they told me to come right over and they took care of it. Fair pricing and good people!
2021 was my first time visiting and using this car shop, last time was 20 + plus years ago, great then and great now!
Good work but pricey
They always come to my rescue. Thank you Reds and Son from a Damsel in Distress.
These guys went out of their way to help out a stranded out of state Audi driver by waiting an hr after closing to receive the dead Q5.It was an alternator and they had it replaced and ready to go in less then 12 hrs after getting the car.Recommended a nearby name brand hotel and contacted us when SUV was ready!Outstanding service and basic human compassion!Take your luxury car service needs here!
They did some work on my mothers car. They did a good job but the labor rate was a bit high (that near downtown location cant be cheap for a indepenedent shop though)Edit: Boy was I wrong - They used a ziptie to secure the alternator on my mothers car, which my brother in law discovered when he was going to replace the belt because it was having issues after they supposedly fixed it (they didnt replace the top bolt and the zip tie they used loosened up)
I called in to get the regular annual inspection done. They were able to get me in the next day which was great. The process was easy. Only thing that made me sick to my stomach was being charged for something that wasn’t part of the inspection and without letting me know prior to doing it. I was told they typically don’t consult the customer if the charge is under $100. I was not aware of this and they did apologize for the misunderstanding.
First time used them, fast, reliable and I found reasonable.
You cannot get better service or better people. Competent and trustworthy. Reds & Son is the Gold Standard. Top notch!!
Great service, thorough, and quick turnaround.
Just called and they told me they don’t do oil changes . They are clearly listed as an oil changed service and I found that extremely disrespectful how they told me “we don’t do it “ over the phone .
Good service. Tip top
Great experience! Ive been going here for several years and theyre fair with pricing and also quick with service. Plus they dont tack on a bunch of charges as a surprise, they let you know what they think will need work coming up and how quickly they think it should be done, very helpful. Definitely keep going here for my car needs.
I’ve been coming here for many years this place is amazing, people are nice, service is quick, I am always pleased with the Service here.
Always amazing service from honest and caring people who know what theyre doing and wont rip you off
Had a Neutral Safety Switch go bad on my VW New Beetle, which prevents the car from starting. Called up, and they said to bring it right over. AAA dropped me & the car off around noon, and the work was done before the end of the day. Part was cheaper than I found online, and labor rate was reasonable. Also, very convenient for anyone living or working on the north side of Market Street in Center City. I plan to be a return customer.
Amazing service! I truly believe that this is the best car service in Philadelphia. The only place I recommend to family and friends!
16 years with Reds and never disappointed. Honest and skillfulHave my daughter going there as wellThey have serviced Mercedes and Porsche for me.....and perfectly
Battery died after 1700 dollars of work came to pick up battery dead had to jump car to stop n next morning wouldnt start had to get aaa to jump n drove to pep boys for batteryApril 25th went back because engine light came on again now have to take to dealer and my car was ransacked money taken n sunglasses
Ive came here about 3 other times to get service. I felt like this would be my go to shop until my recent visit. I asked them to check and see why my engine light and brake light were on, a service they usually charge about $100 for. After I came back when they were finished they proceeded to tell me that I had to pay at least $350 for labor and that it would be a $600 dollar job. I told them I couldnt get it fixed that day but next friday and they said that it would cost me more.. I then said I only had $300 and they were like get another 100 and well fix it.. I was completely upset. As bad as I wanted to curse them out i couldnt because they still had my car.. that was the last time I will ever go to that shop.. I will gladly pay someone else for my loyal business!!!!
Great service, very friendly, and pretty quick too! Very accomodating when I went in there unannounced. I will definitely go back.

Very unusual out-of-the-way place very very warm nice and friendly Im not looking to rush to get a mechanic but when I need him thats exactly where Im going
Like contractors, good mechanics are hard to find. at Reds and Sons everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. They have always been so honest and fair and will educate you on any aspect of your car. It is like having our own Clik and Clak!
Great work on foreign 🚗
Ive gone to Reds for a few items including oil changes, inspections, rim straightening, muffler replacement, etc. Ive always had a good experience, and I continue to return to them when I need service on my Smart Car. They tend to be a bit pricey, but not horribly so...they service foreign/German cars, so its to be expected that things will be a bit more expensive than usual...and my Smart Car is a Mercedes product, so its just the way it is.
The staff is always extremely helpful and very hospitable. They always take care of all my cars issues and I would recommend them to all my friends and family.
Great service. They were very friendly. I will definitely be coming back.
I have a weird obsession with older German cars. When I first went to Reds and Sons it was because my roommate at the time had his 1987 BMW 325i serviced there. I then bought a 1992 Mercedes 190E and now I have a 1995 BMW 525i. Reds and Sons kept my roommates BMW on the road for nearly 15 years which is a miracle because my roommate did not maintain that car at all. They replaced my whole exhaust system for less than other places were going to charge on my Mercedes and now they have completely inspected and serviced my BMW. They called me and told me things that will be needed in the future but not an emergency which was appreciated and as a result, I had a lot of the work done because the prices were super reasonable and they prioritized what was needed in order of importance for me. This extra bit of customer service and professionalism made getting the work done more achievable and they did not make the most expensive item a top priority but rather the last thing I should do. I love that I am able to budget for the less important but more expensive repairs for later this year; when was the last time a repair shop that did that for you? I highly recommend Reds and Sons for any vehicle but especially if you have an older German car. I think they really love them and they have the magic touch to keep the running in top form!
Tom (the owner) was not personable at all. I have a 2012 jaguar and could have took it to the dealer but decieded to take it to a local shop with hopes to build a relationship with a local mechanic and was highley dissapointed.The work was completed but the are very very very expensive.
Redds and Son auto repair, are total rip offs! Please save your money and time! This place is the worst Ive ever seen.... I took my Mercedes to this place for repair. When I picked my car up, I had more issues with my car. They are liars, & rip offs.
I have never paid so much in my life. $75 for an oil change, $40 to change tires (the tired were already balanced and on wheels, all they had to do is move them. Could have done it myself with a jack in 45 minutes)
Could Not Be Happier I want to send a big thank you for replacing my transmission especially with the time constraint I was in. It runs smoother than ever and sounds great.
Was charged $120 just to get my car back after I failed the inspection, he said the fee was so he could run diagnostics...never heard of such a ridiculous price just to “run diagnostics” I’ll never ever come here for any service learned my lesson
Clean garage, staff were knowledgable and helpful, quick to troubleshoot and diagnose my problem, quick service and good communication, Ill definitely be bringing my Subaru back here for any work.
This place is a complete rip off. I asked how much for a tire rotation and was told it would be $120. I called the next shop, it was $20.
Took my car here for a simple PA state inspection. Dropped it off early in the morning and let them do their work. Well, 6 hours later I came back for them to tell me my low-milage car, which has never had any problems before, has FAILED because of a very very minor issue. I was then offered the fair price of $700 to fix it and have it back on the road.Now call me crazy, but seeing half the cars driving around Philadelphia I can tell you that if every mechanic failed a car because of what I failed for, there wouldnt be many cars driving around. This shop will find something wrong with your car at every chance they get. So after paying $70 for absolutely nothing, I also got a ticket for past due inspection tags the next day. Save yourself the headache and dont bother with this place. They dont want you to pass, its how they make money. Find someone whos honest and doesnt resort to posting fake reviews about their shop either.
It would be easier to write what i like.. !
I have been going to Reds for probably 10 years now for inspections and service, after tiring of the giant chain stores. I have never once had an issue, and they seem very reliable and trustworthy to me.
Have been going to Reds & Son for several years now and have trusted them with 3 vehicles. Great personal service and work is always of high quality.
First class technically, and professionally.There is no better foreign car service in Philadelphia.
I have been taking my cars to Reds & Son in Philadelphia for over 10 years. They always do a good job.
