I only take my car to Apex! These guys are kind, honest, and do excellent work. Because of the way they have treated me (even when I was driving an absolute junker) they will have a loyal customer for life!
I have been going to Apex Auto for my annual inspections for about 5 years. I was always afraid that being a young female I would be taken advantage of when it comes to car things. I am 110% confident that I will never be ripped off here. Jason has always been very honest and thorough with what needs done to my cars and gives me a heads up on what might be needed the next year. He takes the time to explain to you why something passes or fails. I am so happy I found Apex Auto and will never go anywhere else in Pittsburgh!
I recently had my windshield replaced at a different shop and came to Apex to get my inspection stickers replaced. I had the piece of glass with the old (and still valid) stickers on it. According to the other shop, I could go to any shop that does state inspections and have these stickers replaced at cost. I made it very clear when I called to make an appointment and when I dropped off my vehicle that my stickers needed to be replaced and my car did not need to be inspected. I waited over four hours for my vehicle and was not given any kind of timeline for the service. When I called to ask how long it would be (around the two hour mark), I was told they were working on it and they would call when it was ready. When I went to pick up my vehicle, it had been inspected and new stickers had been issued. I didnt want to make a scene or short change the mechanics, so I payed for the services and left. I am not a car expert, and I am inclined to trust the professionals, especially of a place that is so well reviewed. In this case I knew exactly what I needed and asked for it and they did not deliver. I have never been kept out of the loop by a shop like this and I will not be giving them my business again.
Uses quality replacement parts and makes good contact with the customer.
I really liked this place in the beginning. I took my car there regularly and recommended others do so as well. I gave them positive reviews. I cant tell if the growth in business and thus expansion of employees is the issue, or if offering cheaper service in the beginning to get customers and good reviews, then price gauging once you have them is the issue. But, I went from spending reasonable amounts for things- being willing to wait a little longer for a small business- to spending exorbitant amounts for repairs, waiting even longer, and dealing with people who are either lying for money or who lack the knowledge of what they are doing. Basic knowledge.I am being intentionally vague because I dont feel like dealing with a business that feels slighted. In short, a car that should have been junked was repaired for a huge price, some repairs were charged but not done, and the next mechanic to take a look at it to repair it again said the entire bottom fell out of the car, so then more had to be paid to have someone junk it. Im talking thousands of dollars overall.In short, even if you trusted these guys in the past, if something seems or feels off, trust your gut and consider a second opinion. Especially if you have an older car.
Professional, quick to take me relative to other shops in Pittsburgh and my inspection was finished in a timely manner.
This place is amazing! I needed my car inspected on a tight schedule and they were able to get me in rather soon. They are extremely professional and explain everything to you in terms that you will understand. I feel like they genuinely cared about me and my vehicle! They did an excellent job and I will definitely be going back. Thanks Jason and Ed!
I really like this shop. Its a good place with regular prices, but I ran into an odd situation.I came to the shop to replace my axle. Everything went smoothly and I picked up my car. I was driving home after work and everything seemed fine.Note: I drive an automatic but I switch to half-automatic and use engine breaking a lot.As I was getting home I started losing pressure in my breaking power. It seemed very odd to me but I had to get home first. Once I got home I tried calling the shop back but received no response since they were closed already.The next day I called in the morning and explained the situation. Front desk assistant(lovely lady) let me know that they can fix the issue once I get my car back to the shop. Still no breaks though?I got it to the shop and they said they will take care of it. This took about 4 hours out of my work day and a stressful ride using emergency breaking and engine breaking. Keep in my I live in a big city where I have to maneuver and stop at many intersections.Mechanic that was fixing the problem said they did not attach the hose that runs breaking fluid. He offered meany apologies as well as free oil change and inspection. I was not very happy with that.I left the shop with a fixed car but because I did not get a positive response I had send an emailing to them explaining the situation in a bit of detail. After the email they called me back and offered to take off half of my expenses for the issues with my axel. Which came to be around $400, basically removing the cost of labor.
This place is so competent and so honest that it can be hard to get an appointment! Ive been there several times and my experience with them indicates to me that I can trust them. The people there also happen to be friendly and easy to talk to. If youre looking for skilled technicians that are personable and trustworthy, look no further.
Reliable auto shop, good prices, and great customer service. considering most folks dont have intimate car knowledge, they explained the repair in a non-condescending way. they also offer a warranty (but Im not familiar on the details?)....overall good shop, if you have to choose an auto shop in pgh, go here!
They went through my things when I dropped it off for an inspection. As low as you can get I guess, would definitely recommend anyone else but them.
Very nice and honest people here. I was debating whether it was time to give up on my car and get a new one or try to fix it, and instead of taking my money they were honest and said I shouldn’t put any more money into my vehicle.
For someone who researches repairs and auto body work frequently... and knows from a local level what entails just good business vs good customer service.... I stand by the fact that this is in my opinion THE BEST AUTO body shop in the burgh.Jason runs a tight ship, and only ensures quality with his mechanics, his service, his parts shops, and does what it takes to get the service done RIGHT.Itemizing invoices and explaining the WHY in which certain components arent functioning correctly, is what makes them stand out. Never have I seen someone call me and explain to me what is going on with my vehicle like they have. YOU WILL NOT GET THAT with a dealership!Very pleased every time I step out of this place and hop in my truck, whether he put in a new exhaust system, or I got a bare bones oil change. My truck just always runs better.
Friendly people who do great work for a good price. Will be returning for any future auto repairs!
Fixed my A/C in a little over 24 hours. Also cost half what I expected it to. Will be back.
Nice auto shop and the teamctakea care you you as a customer . Mo complaints here they did right by my wife and tool care of her vehicle
I would highly recommend Apex Auto!!! Wonderful service and extremely knowledgeable staff. Jason was amazing!
Apex Auto provides excellent customer service! Theyve always explained everything down to the smallest detail! The technicians will personally come out and explain the job and any future needs your car made need while providing quotes. These guys are amazing. Ive never left there feeling like Ive had unanswered questions. 100% recommended Apex over any other place in Pittsburgh.
Everyone that I met with and spoke to on the phone was extremely polite and welcoming. I got in for a state inspection/emissions test about a week out because I needed a Saturday apt. When my car was finished I received an automated text telling me that it was ready for pickup. A few things needed to be repaired with in 6mos-1 year and I was not pressured into completing the repairs today or at this garage. Being a young woman, it’s hard to find an automotive repair shop that doesn’t pressure us into getting parts & labor that we don’t need. I also had my dog with me and he was given treats and lots of pats. Very happy with this business!
Courteous, professional, and thorough service every time.
Always excellent service! Their prices are great, they are very helpful and dont mistreat customers telling them they need unnecessary repairs. I recommend Apex! You wont be disappointed!
Top notch mechanics! The entire staff wants your car back on the road without breaking the bank! Wont let anyone else touch my vehicles ever.
The staff members are always very kind, honest, and knowledgeable. Their prices are always reasonable as well. Can’t recommend this place enough!
I had a great experience with Apex. Fast service, the mechanic was extremely upfront and transparent, and I felt like they really care about providing good service. Ill be taking my car back as long as Im in Pittsburgh.
Apex auto is the best place in the area. I have never met a more helpful auto repair/service staff in my life. Most place you call answer the phone with a tone that begs you not to inconvenience them with an issue they need to fix. Apex (Jason specifically) answers politely, explains what he thinks the issue is, and always gets you in as soon as possible. When your car has an issue during inspection, they dont go ahead and waste your money without calling you and even give you an honest opinion on when you need to get the issue repaired... I just scheduled to have my battery and brakes replaced and Ill continue to take my vehicle to Apex until further notice.
Excellent work and customer service
Hands down the absolute best experience I’ve ever had at an auto body shop. Mary was a charm and a pleasure to work with, taking care of all my needs and questions. Adam (one of the mechanics?) called me to explain everything about my car and what I should look into repairing and what I could get away with. He thoroughly and in layman’s terms explained everything for me so I could understand it. I will be sure to come back here for ANY auto work that I will need, and I will strongly recommend it to any and all my friends!!
Fantastic shop with WORLD CLASS customer service! My daughter goes to Duquesne and I live in Rochester, NY. She was having issue with her car starting and they went above and beyond to accommodate her and get her seen same day. They did a thorough job checking electrical, alternator and battery and had her on the road same afternoon, They even stayed past closing time so she could come and pick up her vehicle. Friendliest shop in town I have no doubt.Any parents out there wanting a trusted service center for their kids at school, dont hesitate at all bringing your vehicle to Apex.Job well done!
These guys know what theyre doing and they dont push you to get extra stuff done if you dont need them. I always had a great experience there. Once, one of my tire kept leaking air and they did everything they could to fix it but the tire needed to be changed. Instead of having me wait a week to get the correct tire, they recommended that I go to a tire place not too far from them. I thought that was really nice of them to not make me wait, it shows they care about your needs, IMO. Their price are very reasonable.
Jason & his crew are the BEST!! They are so honest and so professional!
5 - Star. Definitely Recommend. Fair, Honest.
Took my vehicle here for a state emissions/inspection. They were very professional and easy to communicate with. Thoroughly explained everything that needed taken care of and they took care of it in a timely manner. Thank you.
Always excellent service! Their prices are great, they are very helpful and dont mistreat customers telling them they need unnecessary repairs. I recommend Apex! You wont be disappointed!
Best customer service ever.If you are in need of an alignment they have a new state of the art machine to do it for you.

Incredible customer service. Good people dahn there at Apex!
Ive used Apex three times now....friendly service....courtesy from everyone there. They can help for almost any issue. They are occupying a place that a prior owner also had good service. I dont think Apex is Great with a lot of bigger car issues but they are honest enough to say so and help you get to na dealer etc. Very nice people and knowledgeable.
They did exactly what they said theyd do, looked at it when they said they would, did the diagnostics I had approved, and then addressed the problem that my car wouldnt start. Beyond that, the mechanic explained the various possible reasons, chose the least expensive to try, and when it worked suggested what my future options were. I trust them. You cant say that about every auto repair shop.
Thank you so much to all of our wonderful customers. It has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of the Pittsburgh South Side community. We cant thank you enough for all of the kind reviews. You are the only reason we have been successful.
The work always gets done quick and Ive never had an issue with what theyve done. Ill continue coming here for work I can or dont want to do myself!
Called Apex from Philadelphia needing urgent service on my daughters car (shes a college student in Pittsburgh). Jason was very understanding and accommodating on a busy Saturday morning. We had the car towed in to the shop and serviced that day, avoiding a potential engine failure. Jasons people skills eased my daughters embarrassment over her mistake, making the situation so much easier to resolve.Thank You Apex! You saved the day.
AWESOME SERVICE!!! great price. -- A/C Experts! --I had an a/c that would not blow cold air. I called APEX and they were able to fit me in the schedule two days later. The price they quoted me for the diagnostic is what I was charged on the day. The guys at APEX found the problem and fixed it in less than one day. I was charged for the diagnostic, repair, and freon; and thats it. No extra hidden fees or surprises. JUST GOOD SERVICE for honest prices. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Apex was helpful and straightforward with there service. Recently registered my car in PA, always nervous when consulting a new auto mechanic, but Apex made it easy. Didn’t overcharge, were upfront about everything before they worked on the car and were timely with there service. Will use Apex again whenever my car is in need of service.
Best auto shop in Pittsburgh! The guys are honest, polite and knowledgeable. Their auto technician is the best in town and knows his cars. Won’t go anywhere else!
I have been taking my vehicles to Apex since the day they opened. Jason and his crew are honest with their analysis of what service is needed for your vehicle and their services are very reasonably priced. They complete the work in a timely fashion and are very courteous.
I took my car to three different places and they could not figure out what was wrong until I brought it here. They explained everything to me (in terms I could understand) and made sure to get things done as fast as they could! I would definitely recommend them!!
Excellent experience and service. Down to earth, nice and reasonable people. Will return for another inspection next year.
I work nearby and consistently take my car to Apex for service. They are always timely, friendly, and fair. I was in an accident on the way to work one day, and the staff at Apex went absolutely above and beyond to help me out. I highly recommend this place.
I drive a 2000 Honda CRV and I took it to Apex when I encountered an intermittent no-start issue. It turned out to be a very difficult and unusual problem to solve with many bumps in the road and unexpected turns in the process of figuring out exactly what was going on. Adam poured his heart and soul into fixing the problem and he never gave up. He kept me up to date and gave me all the details with daily phone calls. Everyone at Apex goes above and beyond for their customers. I won’t take my cars anywhere else in Pittsburgh.
Wonderful staff. Great service.
Wow! Very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back.
Always polite, great job always appreciate the way the explained matter is going on with your vehicle great,!
Very friendly service, quality work, and an honest business. They actually explained that I didnt need everything I thought I did, saving me a nice bit of change. Of course, when I actually do need more work done in the future, theyre guaranteed to be the ones who will get it.
Lovely folks who referred me to the right folks when I was in a tight bind. I am from out of town so was grateful for the helpfulness and expertise.
As a college student from out of town, I really appreciated the customer service here! They were incredibly helpful and didnt try to take advantage of me or push fixing things that didnt need to be fixed. Definitely recommend.
Use of bathroom is an issue:I was 100% prepared to give this place five stars. I went back today for the second time this week to deal with A/C problems. The tech I worked with was fantastic! Jason, the owner, was concerned about accident (slip and fall) liability since his bathroom for customers is behind the shop area and customers must pass through the shop floor to get to it. He wanted to know why I needed to use the bathroom so many times when I was there. As a female customer, I was shocked by this question. I am not in the business of revealing to men I dont know what I do in the bathroom. I was there on Monday for three and a half hours. For the benefit of everyone reading this, I did use the bathroom three times during that morning. Heres why: 1. I wanted to brush my teeth. 2. I wanted to pee and change my tampon. 3. An hour later, I needed to change tampons again because it was the first day of my period. I do not have an ounce of pride or an ounce of shame, so I told Jason this directly and honestly. He immediately threw his hands up and said, I dont need to know that. In an effort to be fully transparent, I felt he needed the whole truth since he brought up the bathroom visits with me. If you are a woman needing car repair and maintenance, you should be aware of my experience as a female customer with Apex Automotive.
These folks go above and beyond to ensure you get the best service. A little more expensive than other joints in town, but you really get exemplary service
The mechanics at this place were efficient and did a fine job fixing my front brakes. They are a team of experts who take pride in what they do. I highly recommend them!!!!!
Very good service, very reasonable prices. I have been to numerous auto repair shops in Southside and apex auto is by far the best
A little sad that my car was at the end of its life by the time I discovered Apex Auto, but if I ever get another car in this area, this will be my go-to shop, every time. Ben was tremendously understanding, helpful, and never once made me feel anxious, suspicious, or idiotic, 3 feelings that Ive never not had at a mechanics shop. kudos!
Very nice folks; great service and not trying to upsell you stuff that you don’t need. The quintessential honest mechanic.
They are so helpful and pricing is incredible. Jason is absolutely amazing and so are his employees. I wouldnt take my vehicle any other place.
The customer service at Apex is nothing short of incredible. The techs here are incredibly honest, courteous, and professional. Apex Auto is simply the best.
I saw their sign as my brakes were grinding down the road, pulled in and asked if they could fix my car right now. They changed my rear brakes and rotors fast, well and at a reasonable price.
Such a wonderful business! The man who worked with me who Im assuming is the manager was so knowledgeable and very friendly. I recommend going here over everyone else!
Great service and staff! they took my car within a few days of calling to schedule. They were knowledgeable and I did not feel like i was getting ripped off like i have in the past at other garages. I would highly recommend them
Always so friendly which is a rarity in my experience at auto shops. They get the job done within a reasonable amount of time, and seem to be genuine and honest.
The only place I take my truck for all its issues. Jason and his team take great care
Took my car in for inspection and an oil change. None of the up-selling or bull#%*t you get from other mechanics. Honest business. FANTASTIC!!
Really super friendly South Side shop providing no hassle professional service. Highly recommend
Jason was very friendly. Even though his shop was booked for the day he worked late to diagnose and resolve my cars issue so i wasnt stranded for the weekend. Best service Ive had at a repair shop in years.
I had a broken side view mirror, and Apex Auto were to helpful and caring in helping me get my car ready for a long trip the next day at a moments notice. This is the only auto shop I will go to for help in Pittsburgh for now on.
Best shop in the burgh! Friendly service and super knowledgeable!
Got a flat tire and while they didnt stock them the mechanics worked fast to get what I needed to the shop and had me out the door the next day. Had some issues with the TPMS sensor and had to bring it back but they werent dismissive of my problem and were diligent about getting it solved.
Jason is very friendly and does great work! I would recommend this shop to anyone.
Fantastic customer service. Theyre quick and direct.
The early signs of shoddy workmanship were apparent when the mechanic forgot to physically sign-off on my cars inspection. The receptionist then handed me the wrong set of keys to my car. A few weeks after I got my oil changed at Apex, I noticed that car began leaking oil. I took my car to a certified Mazda mechanic and he informed me that whoever did my last oil change screwed it up somehow. Convenience > quality
I am from out of town and have taken my car here twice now. They have been nothing but honest and helpful. I have an older car, and I wouldnt go anywhere else in SouthSide.
Very professional and will take great care of your car or truck.
Wanted to charge me $950 for brakes all around. I dont like being gouged. Got it done else where for under $500
Great service and people! Highly recommended!
Love this shop! Quick and quality service. Will be returning for all my auto needs.
Friendly, flexible, thorough priced right, I send friends there.
Great people and quality service, I highly recommend Apex Auto!
Total ripoff. Never go to this place.
Wow just wow, this place is the beez kneez!!!
They know their stuff
Great customer service
Good service !!!
Great Service l
