My car needed an inspection and oil change, tire rotation, air filter replaced. I chose Champ based on reviews , but also because of its proximity to the train station. I'm so glad it did! Made an appointment and dropped it off the next day. The scheduled maintenance for the car required the cabin air filters to be replaced, and Sean called and told me that and gave me the prices. Honest and straightforward. I had issues with my keys not being able to open the car. He tried to fix it but it was something more with the car computer. Really appreciated that and didn't ask him to do that. And I had a set of new windshield wipers in the front seat. I was going to replace myself. He offered to do that, too. Wow. It cost me a lot less than I expected. Finding a good, honest mechanic, esp. Being a woman is hard. I will take my car back to Champ for any auto needs in the future. Couldn't ask for more.

Sean is very professional and knowledgeable whenever I bring in my car for inspection, repairs and maintenance services. He answers all my questions and provides recommendations based on the current status of my car without forcing any unnecessary services. Also, there’s been a few times he’s been flexible and checked out my car on short notice. Overall, would highly recommend.

Sean is very professional and prices are reasonable. My family has been sending all our cars for maintanence, inspection and repairs to Sean for over a decade now, and we have nothing but positive things to say. He is very straightforward about maintanence needs and never tries to push unecessary fixes.

Took my 03 vw in for an annual inspection and a few issues. Sean diagnosed some other issues that needed to be addressed. He took time to explain all the work he was doing and communicated throughout the process about timing and pricing. You can tell he is extremely knowledgeable about Volkswagens and I’m glad I found this place. Will be coming back whenever I need maintenance again.

Came into Champs to have my truck looked at for a whole bunch of issues - tires, oil change, inspection, funny noise emitting from the engine. Sean, owner/mechanic of Champs was very knowledgeable and fixed all my issues in a timely fashion. I felt like I was treated and charged fairly for the work that was done plus supporting small business is the only way to go. I will be coming back!

Great service

Great service, fair pricing, and would go here over the common chains any day of the week.

Dec 07, 2022

Knowledgeable staff, professional, and fast. They specialize in VW and Audi vehicles, but is more than capable to fix any vehicle. Trucks included. I highly recommend this repair shop.

Shawn is the best

This is the only place I bring my car for service anymore. Much better pricing and service than the dealership. I never feel lied to or taken advantage of (and as a woman that's a huge relief). Sean is very transparent and knowledgeable and always works with me to figure out what repairs are in my budget. I can't recommend him enough. Support this really competent and high-quality small business!

Great place for your auto repairs and great prices too

Dec 07, 2022

Great work! Done faster than anyone else. Super fair prices. Trustworthy mechanics actually explain things clearly and happily. What else do you need?

Dec 07, 2022

Very Polite and professional. I will refer him to everybody

Dec 07, 2022

Wouldnt take my car anywhere else

Dec 07, 2021

Honest mechanic with fair pricing. Was able to schedule us for a next-day appointment, and communicated well throughout the process. He was able to fix the problem with our car without performing unnecessary work and actually recommended against replacing certain parts that seemed to still be in good working order, even though he probably could have easily convinced us to do so. Overall I am pleased with our experience with Champ Automotive and will likely be taking our cars here in the future as needed.

Champ Automotive is my new mechanic of choice in and around Manayunk. The owner, Sean, is knowledgeable and good at what he does. Had my car in for the first time today and he told me what he thought needed immediate attention and what could wait a few months. You need a professional like him who is honest and prices are more than reasonable! Thanks, Sean.

My 2003 VW Eurovan was in desperate need of a good mechanic. It is a bit of an odd duck and even the VW dealer wanted to run when he saw me coming. Finding Sean has been a godsend. Chronic “unsolvable” problems were quickly diagnosed and fixed by Sean. Sean is honest and upfront about his prices and estimates. He is very easy to talk to and takes the time to explain what’s going on and what my options are. The work he has done has been consistently done right the first time every time. Most recently he successfully replaced the Eurovan’s transaxle and it runs better than ever. While his expertise is VW/Audi, he has earned my confidence has become the mechanic for my Jeep, as well. I highly recommend Sean and Champ Automotive.

Sean is the Owner at Champs, nobody in my experience provides the quality service available at Champs on Umbria in Manyunk. Sean has kept my TD VW working at top condition.

Dec 07, 2020

Sean provides an excellent service, if you leave your car there I can assure you that your car is in very good hands! Fair prices, very good treatment, quick repairs and very professional. Thanks for fixing my passat cc

Dec 07, 2020

Great shop and great owner. Fair pricing, fast work and great quality. My car runs like new after a few much needed repairs. Can't really ask for more.

Dec 07, 2020

I just brought my Dodge Challenger to Sean for some routine work. Hands down I can tell you that he was one of the best mechanics I have ever worked with. All of his work provided is high quality for a very fair price and it is done very quickly. It can be very difficult finding a mechanic that can deliver on all fronts but Sean does exactly this. I highly recommend Champs Automotive. He will give you fair honest feedback on your car and is never pushy about getting more work done and truly weighs in on whats important to you the driver. Will definitely bring my Challenger back for future work.

Dec 07, 2020

Sean was excellent. He listened to my observations of noises from my car and did his own diagnosis of the problems and fixed them within the next day. He did not try and up sell me, he kept the work to what was needed. Excellent service thanks!

Dec 07, 2020

Sean was very informative and thorough. He kept me up to date throughout the repair process and involved me in decision making. My household has used Champ multiple times for different cars, and we will continue to do so as needed.

Sean, the owner at Champs, makes my VW run faster and always dependable. Prices are very fair all work is timely. Bruce R
