These guys are the best mechanics around. My local mechanic wanted $1,900 for a clutch replacement and then gave away my appointment. Penny Hill got it done within a day and just the same as the work Ive had done there before, it is top quality. They charged me around $850 for the same job I was quoted $1,900 for, and they do better work. Highly recommend these guys.

I have used Penny Hill service for a few years, but now the service is horrible. Week after week I would leave my car to have the air conditioning fixed. Many times he would say I didnt get a chance to look at it yet can you bring it in next week. So I had no air conditioning for over 8 weeks. He told me there was a sensor that could be anywhere and it was hard to find. I have no alternate transportation, but rather than hover over them, I would go for long walks only to find he didnt touch my car. On the last visit to them, I told them the oil can light was coming on, but I had plenty of oil. Although they did not touch the air conditioner, they replaced the sensor for the oil can light for 115.00. Still the light came on. I went to a different person and after all the time wasted at Penny Hill, I had my air fixed and the oil light fixed. I threw away 115.00 because what they did did not fix the light. I would highly recommend going anywhere else, just NOT to Penny Hill.

Brian and his team are the best. Honest, patient, nice, affordable and quick. Best mechanics I have ever worked with and will continue to use. I drive from NJ to use them.

I trusted them to fix my car they didnt drive my car to see what the problem was. My front end is shaking. I like the device but they can do better.

This is a self own business, I was referred here by a mechanic that actually work on my car through an auto accident through my insurance carrier overall this place works well with small maintenance in the beginning but as I begin to go here overtime due to the fact that I do not know them personally they actually seemed irritated with me keep coming back to their store the store is very small and I’ve noticed that everyone who comes in and out of this place while sitting here to wait for my car to get fixed it’s all people that know him personally have been coming to him for years I would not recommend to go here if you are new to the environment office store I took my car here for a change and they kept my car from to the time they close I was unaware of why they cut my car so long for oil change and when I took my car to the dealership they told me that I had a rear main seal leak which cost me over $1600 cause me to have to just get a new car because of the high expense AGAIN I would not recommend to go here if you do not know them personally and this is a self own business

These guys were recommended by a guy a work with. Went and got a quote for rear brakes and rotors on my Audi A4. Guy gave me a great price, and then I had him replace two tires too. Pricing was awesome, I saved $330 vs another quote i had on the whole package.Guys were honest and seemed to know what they were doing which is rare. Kind of hard to see the sign for them, so just try to look carefully.Highly recommend.

Ive have being a mechanic for 30 years and when it comes to fixing my car Im very meticulous. Since I am retired and have some health issues, I cant do certain repairs. So, I take it to Penny Hill Service. Brian is a honest men, wont take advantage of you, and will give you advice on the repairs. He is a true Professional. Never had to bring the car back after a repair and the price is reasonable. The best shop in the Claymont/Wilmington area. Thanks Guys!!

Great service and fair pricing! Relieved to have found an honest shop with know how. While other shops wanted a $200 diagnostic fee Brian and his team diagnosed and repaired the issue for less! You can go almost anyplace and have a certified parts replacer or go to the crew at Penny Hill and let a MECHANIC fix your car the choice is yours. I know where Ill spend my money. Thanks Penny Hill!

My fiancee and I started going to Penny Hill because they had excellent reviews, and in our experience, they absolutely, completely and totally deserve every last good review they get. Theyve been nothing less than complete professionals. Every time weve been there, theyve been honest, efficient, and polite. Theyre also incredibly affordable -- more so than any other place Ive been to in my life.Seriously cant recommend these guys enough. Theres no substitute for a good mechanic.EDIT: Its been a couple years since I started going here, and if its possible, I admire them even more. More than once, Ive taken my car here to get a weird rattle or an odd warning light checked out, and theyve fixed it without charging me. *Without charging me.* They said it was too minor of a problem to bother with charging for.These guys are good people AND good mechanics.

This will be my go-to mechanic shop from now on. I’ve tried pep boys and jiffy lube because they open on weekends but they always try to rip you off by providing “suggestive” services. The owner here is honest and businessman with integrity. They even helped me replace my expired plate for free (plate screws rusted so bad). I would recommend to my coworkers.

Love this place! They are affordable, quick, and down to earth. I thought I had a problem with my brakes and they looked at them and was actually honest. They said the problem wasnt my brakes and they wouldnt feel comfortable charging and doing work that doesnt need to be done. Glad we found this place!

These guys are great. I had my high performance 1992 Ford Mustang 5.0 for 10 years and all other shop I took my toy to just wanted my money and did not know what they was doing to get my Mustang to pass emissions. I took my car to them one time and my high performance Mustang pass emissions without no problem. No other shop will be placing their hands on my Mustang.

This is one of the best repair shops around. They are fast, reliable and reasonably priced. They are no nonsense and will even tell you things like yes I can do that but there is another shop that specializes in this type of repair and can do it cheaper and better than I could.

Ive been coming here for a couple years now and SO happy I found their shop! Everyone there is polite, professional, and friendly. Above all, they are honest. Ive sung their praises so much that my boyfriend finally switched shops and hes been satisfied with the more extensive work his car has needed.

Review №33

I took my 1999 Camaro to them because I had stored it for a while and the tags were out of date and I knew it would not pass inspection. He gave me an excellent estimate stuck to the estimate and got my car to pass the first time. He was polite, service was professional, and the car was done quickly plus it was done right the first time. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for an honest mechanic in New Castle County! Its tuff to find them and when you do hold on to them! He will have a second car from me in the next week! Thanks

Wonderful staff and very knowledgeable and fast. My whole family has been taking their cars here for work for the past 8 years and will continue to do so for as long as possible. These are great guys willing to go above and beyond to help you get your car back on the road and in proper working order.

Review №39

My car needed front and back brakes so I started researching the area for a trustworthy mechanic. Had an experience earlier in the year with another shop where they wanted to charge me 150 dollars to change my cabin air filter for me when I could do it myself for 10 dollars but I digress.Im glad I picked penny hill though, the main guy in the office was really friendly, while I was sitting there waiting for my car to be done he would treat his customers with respect and tell them advice on their cars which was awesome in my opinion, most mechanics dont say anything and keep quiet but not this friendly man. I can tell they treated my car carefully and were honest with me plus they didnt overcharge me or take advantage of me which solidifies my business in the future. These guys are great, honest and reliable. They will be my go to guys from now on. I definitely recommend anyone coming to them. You wont be dissapointed. 5 star for penny hill! Thank you guys for all your hard work.

Review №51

I absolutely LOVED this shop while they were doing my oil changes and topping off my fluids. I got my front brake pads and rotors changed and they lasted MAYBE 2 months. MAYBE. The rotors were cheap and already warped, and the guy questions me like I did something wrong. Waste of an already-over expensive $320 bill. Theyre so nice, they make it seem like its your or your cars fault, and they act like theyre always cutting you a deal. Dont go here.

Brian is an honest guy. I have brought several cars a 2002 honda accord, 2005 cadillac a 2007 mazda 3 and a 2001 eclipse. In every case we believe it to be a big problem. He was honest when he could of taken advantage of us and it always was a small fix. I thank him for being the guy he is. Hands down i would recommend him. Not just for his honesty but for he great work as well.
