In the middle of a road trip, we got a flat tire on the 76 and made it here on our spare. Despite having a parking lot full of cars to work on, Dan and Rob prioritized our situation since we were in a rush. Their prompt and professional attention got us back on the road within an hour, and we had a great conversation while he worked. We are so grateful! Highly recommend.
Used this place 2 years ago and it was great. This time, I just needed an oil change. I made an appointment online. The day of the appointment, Dan called me and told me that he made a mistake accepting that appointment because the mechanic doesnt start new work after 3pm. Whatever, it happens. Our rescheduled appointment time comes around. They have my car the entire day. Half an hour until close I still hadnt heard from anyone. I called in and Dan told me that they hadnt gotten to my car today even though it was just there for an oil change and they had it the whole day. I went back to pick it up and when I walk in, there is Bob Marley music blasting through the place so loudly that I cant hear what theyre saying to me. Dan says I gave you false information. He tells me that they did in fact do my oil change. The mechanic walks out and he asks him Hey, you worked on that car, didnt you? Dan didnt even know if my car had been worked on, despite telling me on the phone that it hadnt and in person that it had. So apparently the oil change was actually done. He discounted the service since it had been such a disaster. Then, he cant find my keys. Asks me if any of the 6 pairs on the table are mine. They werent. He tells me Dont worry. Ive never lost a set of keys. I.... just dont know where yours are at the moment. What?? So he leaves me with the blasting Bob Marley and comes back 10 minutes later with my keys in his hand. All he had to say was that They were where they were supposed to be, but I never look there because the keys are never where theyre supposed to be. I just want to get in my car and leave at this point, but Dan seems to feel bad and follows me out. He keeps asking me if I am capable of backing the car out onto the boulevard. Dan also tells me that he wants the mechanics to back them in so customers only have to pull out of the lot, but that his manager said no because it was too much of a liability for the company. I seriously cannot believe my interaction at this place. Would not recommend to anyone. Dan was the worst service manager that I have ever had taking my vehicle anywhere.
They had my car for 5 days to do an inspection and tire change. They lost my keys, lost track of my car (forgot why it was there and what it was scheduled for) and then the day I picked it up, the mechanic was slurring his words and claimed to be on a heavy duty medication. I am currently waiting in line behind 3 other people with similar problems. Im really nervous to pick up my car, I hope its all okay. I used to travel across town to go to this location because the mechanic was so helpful. I think he must have left, I cant believe the service has become this bad.
Horrible! They had my car the entire day Called me and said the tire was fixed ( I had a nail in it, simple plug) However, they LIED. They never fixed it. Just put air in the tire. I was out of town and driving home the next day. I wonder how many other people they take advantage of. Charles August would be rolling in his grave if he knew this!
On Tuesday, I used the online appointment request to schedule an oil change for 8am Friday. I dropped the car off with them as scheduled, didn’t hear from them all day, and they didn’t answer the phone. When we went back at 4:30, they said they were “not able to get to it today”. I feel for them, being understaffed. But the answer is to not accept the appointment, or tell me when I drop the car off that they couldn’t do it. It was an oil change, not a time consuming body repair or something.
Awesome experience. Very accommodating and personable service from Daniel. We’ll definitely be taking out vehicles back here.
I had a flat tire and the staff was very helpful and friendly. They made sure to check the wheels carefully and charged a very fair price. Its hard to find a good, trustworthy shop nowadays, but Id highly recommend them.
My car was towed to monro muffler on blvd allies in Pittsburgh I called to speak with manager about my car Daniel answer the phone ask me a few questions about the car I told him I thought it was an oil leak he explain to me he will get right back to me after he check things out which he did he ask who was the last place change my oil I explain it was another oil business he then explain that they over fill my oil by three quart he couldn’t work on my car and said bring it back to them Daniel got on the phone call there corporate office and spoke to them about my situation he could of milk me out of money instead he help me get my car back to the company that made the mistake Daniel went above and beyond very honest guy that company fix the mistake the same exact day Daniel save me hundred of dollars I thank you very much for the help unbelievable he help a complete stranger instead of taking my money he save me money take your car to this location you will be dealt with professional service and a diagnostic of what you need and don’t need done to your vehicle thank you for the experience July, 29,2021
My friend got a flat tire and brought her car here to be fixed. The worker had to call the car manufacturer for advice what to do, and ended up breaking off a piece of plastic from her car and simply telling us about it. I had to ask him to go find the piece to give it back to her. He started to hand her the wrong set of keys, then had to go find hers, even though they called and told her that her car was ready. Probably the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with. I would not recommend taking your car here.
Daniel is absolutely incredible, went above and beyond. Needed a cracked wheel + tire swapped, unfortunately parts not locally available, but he made phone calls across the country to try and sort out a solution. Truly exceptional service!
Daniel was so pleasant, helpful and informative. The staff here are friendly and quick. The price is fair!I would definitely recommend this location to any of my friends and family.
Giving a shout out to R.J. and Daniel. Super helpful, knowledgable, and patient. Daniel offered me some good advice over the phone based on his experience with his own car, and I really appreciated this as it saved me a lot of hassle. Who does that anymore? Impressive service place and highly recommend.
Daniel and Rob really helped me out with my car issues. They managed to fit me in to their schedule and kept me updated throughout the whole process. They made dealing with the flat much easier and great at what they do.
Hi I had the best experience ever had a flat tireThey resolved our issue and their customer and professional services both are exceptional will highly recommend this place 👍🏻.
Were in from out of town. 800 miles away from home and we get a flat on our rental car. Rob & Daniel took care of us quickly and efficiently and got us out of back on the road in 30 minutes.
Fast service and great customer service 😁 definitely will be coming back again!
Sean was terrific! Highly recommend to anyone looking for good, honest help! I was traveling over the holidays in a rental car and got a flat tire. Sean went out of his way to squeeze me in. The service was above and beyond what I had expected. Thanks for the help!
My car was overheating like crazy and they checked it out and help me out. I was stuck and they help me get home and for free highly recommend! Great music as well I love wiz
False advertising. Booked days in advance for “while you wait” oil change. When we arrived we were told that it will take longer, so we left it. Over 8 hours later the work was still not done. They seem overworked and I sympathize, but I suggest if they can’t do a job they shouldn’t say they can.
Travis was so nice on the phone! I came in to get my flat tire patched up. They were super kind, they fixed it well, and what started off as a bad day turned out not so bad.
Great same day service. In and out.Travis was energetic and super helpful.My son is a Pitt Student. He needed a new battery.Thanks
Rob and Daniel, youre the best! Thanks for getting me fixed,on the road and to the wedding on time!!!
Professional. I used service to replaced tiers. Balancing includes (cash flow tiers & auto, on Penn ave dont do it). After a month I found small nail in one tier, come back to this guys and they fix. They didnt charge me, I was surprised. Talked a little bit with personal and find them experienced. They got equipment and tools for the services they provide. I recommended this place. Quality communication includes. Thank you!
The service at this location is exceptional!! The detail and care given to me by technician checking me in & the mechanic went above and beyond service Ive received anywhere else. I visited Pittsburgh from Philadelphia after getting work done in my hometown about a week earlier & ran into an issue on the drive up. This location was open early on a Saturday morning, scheduled me for an appointment within 2 hours, saw me right away, had a quick fix & gave me so much comfort heading back for my ride home. My friends from the area also needed work done to their car and I recommended them hands down, as I would to anyone else!! Wonderfully run business
I brought my car to there place to get an iol change but when l left the place my car didnt sound right after l receive it back l am very mad at these guys l take my car to get an oil change and my car sounds very bad and running rough which it wasnt when l took it in l will never take my car there again
Rude. Called today to inquire on services and someone hung up on me. Said he couldnt multi task!! Wrong field to be in buddy..
They don’t keep many parts in house so repair times will take much longer than they tell you. I was told I’d receive a same day repair, while now it’s unknown how long it’ll actually take. You’ll mostly just hear excuses. I’m not the mechanic though so that’s not my problem 🤷♂️
Been here twice. The first time was a standard state inspection post-vehicle registration. I sat in the waiting room for an hour, and it was done. Price was a bit high ($80), but it was good work and taken care of quickly.Went back for an oil change a few months later. Now mind you - I have a 2013 Toyota Corolla and I barely drive it. I scheduled an appointment at the desk with a mechanic, came back a few days later, dropped off my car, and went for a walk. They called me as I was walking back to the shop, and I paid and left. I dropped my car off at home and took the bus to work after that.The following weekend, I got into my car to buy groceries and it wouldnt start. I thought it was the battery, so I called my insurance for roadside assistance, but when they checked the battery health it was fine. The diagnosis was that something had been messed up under the hood - perhaps something hadnt been put in place correctly after my last oil change. Roadside assistance messed around a bit under the hood, fixed my car, and it runs just fine now.But Ill never risk my car at Munro ever again.
Best customer service!
Do not recommend
In summary - they take too long for simple stuff, are a bit rude (although this common for mechanics), and did not do everything correctly. In detail - Went in for an oil change and tire change (I had the tires, just needed two of them replaced). Had a scheduled appointment, called in before to make sure they had free time, and it still took them a sweet 2 hours to complete. I asked them twice to please make sure all tire pressures are set correctly, as the pressures are different for the front and back tires. They always responded (a bit rudely) we will automatically set the tire pressure to what is labeled on the door. After they were done, the pressure on the front two tires were 3psi lower than what they should be, and the back two tires 8psi lower than what is on the door! This makes me question the oil change also, as they didnt even do a simple tire pressure correctly. Will not be going to this Monro again.
Moved to Pittsburgh recently before quarantine. Got a flat and needed an oil change, these guys were a block away so I went there. Got everything done, awesome. Two months later, during quarantine, I need an inspection. I had moved back to where I grew up. Took my car to a mechanic I have always trusted. He informed me my cars oil was pitch black and looked like it havent been changed in a long time. Didnt drive at all during quarantine. These guys Sold me an oil change they never did. Will never go back and will recommend no one go to this rip off of a garage.
Really trying to take advantage of you. Had a simple exhaust issue, gave me an insane estimate of $500. Do your own research and you can find places that will do any repair for half theirs.
Scammers, tried to make us replace a month old battery because of a dead cell took the battery to another place and it was completely fine and not the problem at all. If you dont know exactly what you need, dont go here.
Best place ever rob will get it done right fast and at a good price good pe3there
The guys at this Monro are always nice, patient and efficient. I usually dont have time to wait for service but Im always able to drop my car off and its always done by the time I am ready to pick it up. Every time I call to schedule an appointment, even if they dont have the availability, they always accommodate me the best that they can.
Travis, who answered my call for a last-minute oil change yesterday, is hospitable and accommodating as a front desk attendant and knowledgeable as a mechanic. Kind service and good work are the rule, not the exception, for the team behind the scenes. Having made appointments with this Monro location in the past, I’ve really come to appreciate the work these mechanics do, and I’ve been driving safely since becoming a (returning) customer. Thanks, Monro!
Extremely fast and exceptionally friendly service. Robert took the time to explain and show me exactly what was wrong with my car and made sure i understood the whole process. I was in an out in 30 minutes and couldn’t be happier with my choice to come here. Will definitely be returning for future service
I had an amazing experience at Monro Auto Service and Tires. Their employees were very friendly and helped me to get my new tires installed. They were also quick and efficient! The location was very convenient and reasonably priced. Great place to get my tires changed that I would recommend and I will be going back to again!
Super nice and helpful crew! Fixed my tire on the spot without hassling to buy a new one! We will be back here for my future car services.
Robert helped us out, he stayed open late for us to come pick up the car the same day. Robert was also very pleasant while dealing with our gift card, which had not been activated and took extra time to complete the transaction. Super customer service! They obviously take their work very seriously, making sure our breaks were top notch and car was even cleaner when we left. Thanks Robert!
Great service, resealable price and above all staff are very kind, soft spoken.
The former mechanic must
I HAD A EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE STAFF AT THIS MONRO VERY ATTENTIVE STAFF THAT OFFERED ME GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. DAVE AND STEVE TREATED ME WELL AND GAVE ME GREAT ADVICE ON MY VEHICLE FOR A MOMENT IT SEEMED AS IF WE HAD KNOWN ONE ANOTHER FOR YEARS NO HOODWINK HERE THIS MONRO IS ABOUT PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A COMFORT ZONE I RECOMMEND THESE MEN AND THIS ESTABLISHMENT THANK YOU ANĐY MARSHALL
Great service in and out in under an hour for a oil change😉
I know pretty much nothing about cars. Travis was so helpful with helping me today. Overall, very organized staff. I was taken right away and my car was finished pretty quick!
This is my first time at this location and I really like that there customer service was very welcoming. There atmosphere is also very clean and quiet. I also appreciate the great timely service. Thank you!
Rear brakes and rotors done on my Nissan Altima for $570. They were done quickly and the staff was polite, but I won’t return with a price like that.
What a lovely experience at the Blvd. of the Allies location here in Pittsburgh, PA. The gentleman that served me was very nice and gave me a great/quick oil change for $17.01. A true bargain. Thanks to the staff for your help! Will be back here again soon if I’m back in Pittsburgh.
I was stuck in Pittsburg for the afternoon with a flat tire & four hour drive ahead of me. The owner Robert was incredibly nice and helpful in my time of need. It was a very speedy process because he took the time to do the work himself. He restored my faith in humanity !! I would highly suggest this establishment to anyone in the area. Would give 10 stars if possible. :)
My first time visiting Monroe was to replace my battery. My car had died two blocks from the shop at my house and I didnt have the proper tools to remove the battery. The mechanic was very kind and allowed me to use his tools to remove the battery and replace it with a new one purchased from Monroe. He was very kind and helpful throughout the entire experience. 10/10 would return again
I always take my car here and the service is excellent! Rob is great and always accommodating. Prices are fair. Would highly recommend taking your car here, especially if you live in the Oakland area.
Want to start by saying don’t trust the google rating because they ask to review before completing service and offer a discount. Went in for inspection and an oil change and was failed for brakes. They said I needed both rear rotors and pads replaced and said it would be around 700$ to pass. After going through their charges I realized they were trying to double bill for labor time and did not trust them to complete the work. I decided to buy the parts and replace them myself and cost only 100$ and took 2 hours of work. Avoid going here at all costs.
Such a quick and easy process. Great service. Will definitely be coming back for more car services in the future!
I brought my car in to this shop hoping for an entirely new set of brakes. I took my car in at 4:48 pm. I believe the mechanics name was Josh who I worked with. He said he would have it done by 6:00 and by some miracle, he did! I was amazed at the service and he was so nice, which might not matter to some people but workers like that are what will keep a lot of folks coming back. Definitely did a fabulous job and very fast.
Robert at Monro Auto Service was extremely helping in repairing my tire. He was available right when I needed help and repaired my tire for a very reasonable price! Would highly recommend!
I’m giving this place 5 stars for honesty. After terrible service at Jiffy Lube which they made me wait for hours and then tried to overcharge me for work they didn’t do. I come here and they look at my breaks and tell me what I suspected that Jiffy was wrong on their assessment and I didn’t need the brake service they said I did. They didn’t charge me for the inspection either. I respect organizations with integrity so I will be coming here for all my car maintenance issues.
Super awesome mechanic. Very nice. He was busy but tried to get us in and out quickly. Gave us a brother in law price.
Steven was the nicest and the most genuine mechanic I have ever met. Thank you for fixing my tire in such a short period of time. I will visit again definitely.
Monro was very helpful in finding out what was wrong with my car and serviced it quickly
The staff at this Monro was very nice and did a great job on my car! I definitely recommend this shop. I will definitely be going back there in the future to get my car serviced.
We were in Pittsburgh from Charleston, WV and our jeep started leaking oil pretty badly. We had no idea what we were going to do.. some people at the gas station pointed us to Monro auto. They got us right in, took care of us very quickly, and didnt charge us anything. The guy said he wanted us to be able to get back on the road towards home and wanted us to get there safely even after originally saying it would be at least two hours before he could even look at it. If we were back home, we would have been charged $50 just for someone to look at our vehicle.. seriously could not ask for better people or service. Highly recommend these people if youre in the area
This Monroe Mufflers is the one I always come to. Robert always help me with my car needs and he is very appreciated. I do love the fact that he does not try to take of advantage of me because I am a female and I may not know a lot about cars. Great place to take your car
Kind and helpful service with an adequate tire selection! I don’t know much about cars, but I was helped quickly and by a knowledgeable serviceman.
Great customer service provided, convenient location, and definitely worth a visit! They were very knowledgeable and made sure I was satisfied with pricing and service appointment time.
They did a great job. Helped me get a state inspection and new tires that I desperately needed. The tires are great this winter. Theyre also very nice.
Had an appointment at 10 am. Upon arrival, I was told that they moved my appointment (without telling me), but that they could squeeze me in. It then proceeded to take 8 hours for a simple inspection and tire patch. They were understaffed, and the staff they had were stressed, and while that can happen, no one was manning the front desk. and I was left screaming into the void for 10 minutes. The employee then sassed me, even though I have been the one to call and come in three times that day. The work is done, but there needs to be better management here, for sure.
The mechanics do hell of a good job but the management suffers a lot. Thats why Im giving it a two! They give you appointments while you think that its the time they will start attending your car. You then find our that it was only a drop off time in a first-come-first-serve system. Their time estimates do not match the reality. You are told that it will take no more than a couple of hours, while they wont even move your car for 4 hours. I have been charged more for a few times already. Inspections are turned back with a list of necessary repairs. You can also end up with unexpected charges. One time, I was having the steering rack fixed. When it came to the payment, I was charged with a new shock damper and I was not notified about that. Finally, every time I took my car there, I can pick it up at the end of the day. There has been no such incident where repairs/inspections were done in a timely manner. Overall, bad bad management.
A-1 SERVICE, I ARRIVED AN HOUR EARLY FOR MY APPOINTMENT AND WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE!
These guys are pretty awesome, they put my car of the lift rotated tires, and I thought something much wrong was worse because the car was pulling.They easily could have taken advantage of me and didnt, and they didnt even charge me because they know Ill be back, Im a broke Pitt student who lives down the street and it was heavily appreciated.
The staff are all very friendly, I was able to make a last minute appointment today to get an oil change and a tire rotation! Convenient location and reasonable pricing for car services!
Had a car inspection done, took 3 hours to do. I figured I would give them another shot because the location is close, second inspection took 5 hours! They failed my car for inspection and tried to sell me tires for $200 more than I could get somewhere else. Theyre not honest, they didnt even apologize for taking 5 hours for an inspection, definitely never going back.
Robert hooked me up a great deal on tires after my roommates ex-boyfriend slashed mine. Really great work, very quick. Love them!
I’ve come here for several oil changes and an inspection over the past year, and I’ve been very satisfied. The service is fast, the staff are friendly, and the prices are competitive
Monroe did a good job in changing my oil the service was excellent I will always bring my car here.
Called ahead for an appointment for a simple oil change. Said I wouldnt need one. I insisted, still no set appointment. Took a long lunch to take my car in. Said they were too busy. Waste of my time.
Super friendly and accommodating staff. Always super helpful answering all my questions and making sure my car is treated well!
Steve and his crew take care of all of our family cars. They are courteous, competent, and very fairly priced. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. A true neighborhood treasure.
Thanks to Chris and Rob for taking great care of my baby. Appreciate you both taking the time to explain what was done and why. I will be back.
Complete waste of time. Called and asked about a brake job. They said sure come on in. Set up a date and showed up for them to look at us like we are stupid and act like nothing was set up. Will not be going back to this joke of a garage.
Robert was very helpful and got the work done very speedy and efficiently. He was also very personable, a true gentleman! Five Stars!
Made a call and came to Robert and he is very honest about his work and he tells you what it’s no sugar coating anything... he will treat your car like his own 🙂 will definitely come again!
BEWARE!! I went in to get a tire fixed and they tried to tell me that my brakes were completely rusted out. Little did they know, I had JUST gotten my brakes replaced, a brand new set. They tried to scare me and tell me that they strongly advised it and that it was dangerous. Took my car to get inspected and everything was fine. No problems, brakes were great.
Steve was great and did an honest look at my car after having brake issues. Had it back in under an hour. Would definitely recommend.
Great customer service, even when I was in a rush. Ernesto and everyone were nice to me. Thanks guys Robert was ver professional and explained every thing to me .
They took me right away- quick visit with a thorough inspection of my breaks, tires and filters, fluids, belts, etc. more than any other oil place offers for the price!! Great service and help!!
I was mean mugged and yelled at like a child through the bay window by an employee this morning at 10:35 a.m. for parking on the side of the building, in front of the dumpster, which was the only spot available. The front line had cars parked every which way but straight and if you paid attention to how the cars were parked, you could easily fit 3 more sedans, instead of yelling at an existing customer who was trying to bring you business. I worked for Rick Weaver Buick in Erie for years, and I would never yell at a customer for parking in a spot, that they think the could, no matter how clueless they may appear.The built guy, with the black sweatshirt and shaved head has an anger problem for yelling through a window the way he did. Not sure if it was roid rage or just hatred because Im white, either way, Im not going to give you my hard earned money, and will tell my friends to go somewhere else, too.Seriously, all over a parking spot?
I’ve been coming here for about 3 years and I’ve never had a bad experience. The people are always really nice and I’m usually in and out as long as I make an appointment!
MUST READ: RUN FAR AND FAST FROM THIS SHOP:I previously had work done here with no issues...I took my car in today for my appt and asked them to replace the brakes on the front, and asked for a typical price. I was told $179 or so per axle. A tad overprice, but the location of this shop is walking distance from my apt., and during the winter months i would rather not work on my car outside on the street, so I was okay with this price.I received a call a few hours later, and the recommended work was brakes and rotors for all 4 tires...($950), new cv axle, as well as an alignment...total for the work would be around $1600.My car was recently aligned (within 4 months) and alignments are NOT AT ALL NECESSARY after Brake and rotor replacements.New BMW OEM brakes and rotors for my car are just under $400 retail, which means they were going to try to charge me 600 in labor for a job that should take them less than 2 hours...Regardless of this all, they could have slapped on 2 new brake pads on the front for an overpriced amount and I would have been satisfied. Instead, this attempt to extract more money from me lost all business and gained them this negative review.I have had brake lines put on by this shop previously and they did do a good job, but these are unacceptable and unethical business practices. FIND A LOCAL SHOP, stay away from these chains.
They were fair and I was not taken advantage of as a woman. We all know Monroes prices are a little high. But a reliable mechanic is priceless
Called first they had open slots got me right in a took care of it quick. Prices were standard and I was out in less than an hour.
Super friendly staff! it was my first time getting my car inspected on my own and they were super helpful
Very good experience nice and kind workers and this is my first time here my daughter recommend me to come here thanks Kiki
There is some abnormal metal friction sounds on my car. The guy found the problem and repaired it in a very short time and easily. In addition, the most important, the charge is free! Its so kind of them!
Surprised this place doesnt have better reviews. Steve gave me an oil change, tire rotation, and diagnostic for under 25. He fixed a problem Ive had with my car for over a year for free while other shops charged me while not fixing the problem. Will definitely return.
Needed a wheel hub assembly replaced on my SUV last year. They ended up charging me $1000 for the hub, axle, etc. Acted like they were doing me a favor only charging me $350 for the hub part instead of $500... The other front hub went bad a couple of months later.... I looked online at Rock Auto and found the same part they used for $120 plus shipping. Did the work myself. NEVER EVER EVER take your vehicle to them, especially for inspections. They tried to tell me that Id need new brake lines before inspection. Took that as the warning not to go back. I took my SUV to another mechanic for inspection... Passed with no mention to the brake lines.These guys are absolute crooks.
People were very professional even though we have to see the Monday we forgot our Tire
Incredibly kind and professional. However, they were asking for $461 for replacing 2 tires and an alignment on a 2013 Hyundai Accent. This cost $240 elsewhere for their nicest tires. What the heck, Monroe?
I’ve been taking my car here for the past 4 years and always feel comfortable coming back because of the great service and promotional deals
