Sokrat has saved me a LOT of money, and possibly me and my kids from serious injury. I took my car to Sokrat after he was recommended by a friend. I was in need of a new mechanic since the previous shop I had been going to recently burnt down. I asked him to look at a couple specific things, so I could decide if it was worth doing some costly rust repairs to the underbody and keep the car going a while longer. After looking at the car, he called me in to show me just how extensive the rust damage had become. He told me the car was unsafe to drive, and if I'd been coming to his shop before, he would have advised me to take it off the road 2 or 3 years ago. He said the rust was so bad, that in a collision, the structural components would fail, which obviously could be deadly for anyone in the vehicle. He was outraged that the previous mechanic had passed inspection on it just 1.5 months ago, since it was clearly unsafe. He was further outraged to see that mechanic had sold me quite a few new parts that I was told I needed in order to pass inspection. It was a hefty bill, but I thought I could trust that mechanic, and I wanted to hold off getting a newer vehicle until my 2 young learning drivers are more experienced and less likely to damage the car. Now I have learned that he was ripping me off and putting me back on the road in a vehicle that could have killed us. Ultimately, Sokrat helped me to get all my money back from that other mechanic, and he didn't charge me a cent for his time and trouble. I greatly appreciated him giving me the bad news, since I'd rather be safe, and as I told the other guy when I blasted him over the phone, if he had told me the car needed to be taken off the road, I would have believed him. It's extremely discouraging to find mechanics I think I can trust, only to be let down and ripped off. I'm very grateful to Sokrat for helping me sort out this mess before anyone got hurt, and I'll be bringing our next vehicles to him for sure!

I have for years have taken my Subaru to Bairl on 19 in Mccandless. It's a 2012 impreza long story short they were bought by a corporation and the push was on for any and everything that they could make a buc with to tell you what is needed for my inspection. Over five grand in repairs. So I got a recommendation from a co-worker to go to O&M Automotive. What a God send he had my car ready for inspection and done within 3 days at less than half of what Bairl wanted. And from that day forward it's Sokrat ALL THE WAY. Highly recommend this place just GO he'll take care of you! He's since got my business my son's and our cousins business . Terrific Mechanic 5 stars 🌟 Thank you Sokrat 👍

Sokrat is honestly the man. One of the only individuals I trust servicing my vintage BMW.

We have been going here for about two years and will never go anywhere else. Sokrat (sorry if I misspell your name!) is kind, honest, and very skilled at what he does. He is always upfront and never tries to upsell anything. We have never had an issue with the work he has done on our cars, and we appreciate his transparency about what he thinks is worth fixing vs. not (I am still driving a 2001 Toyota Camry!). I cannot recommend this place enough. Sokrat will take care of you and your car - he is the best around! Thanks, Sokrat!!

Best mechanic I've had. Quick, efficient, communicative throughout the entire experience, goes the extra mile, and is great people.

Sokrat is the best. I'm glad they're so close and once I drop the car off I know it's going to be well taken care of.

This mechanic is awesome!!! Very honest. He goes out of his way with great customer service. He picks me up and drops me off when i need to drop my car off. He is up front with all maintenance and does not perform repairs until he confirms with me. I wont take my car anywhere else!!

I couldn’t be more happy with the level of service I received by O&M. I just recently had service done on my wife’s 2020 Mercedes GLE350 and also my 2001 Land Rover Discovery. I think I finally found an honest competent mechanic. He seems to be very knowledgeable of many makes including European.

Dec 07, 2023

I had my vehicle towed after a recommendation from another mechanic who wasn’t up to the task. The other mechanic mentioned it may need a full engine replacement. Sokrat diagnosed the issue quickly and had my vehicle running quicker than expected. Ultimately did not need a full engine replacement and the price was very fair. Very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. I can see where I’m taking my family’s vehicles in the future.

Dec 07, 2023

I highly recommend O&M. He just did some work on my car. Very Knowledgeable about turbos and doesn’t rip you off. Very polite. Got the vibe like I’ve know him a long time even though we just met. We’ll definitely be taking our cars there for now on. I highly recommend this mechanic!!

O&M automotive was recommended to me by a friend in the automotive business. Immediately after meeting Sokrat, I knew we wouldn’t need to ever go anywhere else. He is always friendly, honest, and accommodating. He has completed several repairs and maintenance on both of our vehicles and always does outstanding work. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic in Pittsburgh, he is your guy.

Sokrat welded and painted a rear panhard bar correction kit on my 4runner and he even gave me a ride back. I couldn't have had a better experience. He even had my 4runner done in a few hours. I would highly recommend O&M Automotive to anyone looking for that ever so hard to find good honest mechanic. Dan

We are recent new customers to O&M Auto and we couldn’t be more pleased with Sokrat’s service! Not only did he provide exceptional work for 2 of our vehicles, he did so at a fair price. We already plan on bringing two more down, along with referring two other highly satisfied customers. I’m glad my friend Lisa recommended O&M as we will be long time customers.

Best in the North Hills area....can fix anything. Very Fair. Very Knowledgeable. Vehicle fixed right the first time

Dec 07, 2022

Excellent service i would recommend to anyone!

Just discovered this place and won't go anywhere else now. Sokrat is great. Very fair and very thorough. He inspected and repaired two of our cars and also looked at a used car I was thinking about purchasing. He caught things that the dealer tried to not deal with, so he saved me from buying a lemon. He spent a bunch of time talking to me about my used car search even though I know he's very busy. I really appreciate being able to work with him directly rather than at one of those big auto shops where you don't know who's doing what. If you want someone who is honest and direct and thorough, go here.

Sokrat has been my mechanic for close to ten years. He is the only mechanic I go to. He is honest, ethical, extremely knowledgeable. I value his expertise. His reputation is impeccable. I know when I take my car there, it will be fixed right.

Dec 07, 2022

Sokrat is a great mechanic!

Dec 07, 2022

Sokrat is the only mechanic that I trust! I take my car and my mother's car to him regularly. My father also takes all of his work vehicles to Sokrat. He has saved me numerous times and is always open and honest about his work. He gets straight to the point and tells you exactly what you need to hear. He is extremely knowledgeable and does excellent work. His prices are fair, and he would NEVER upsell you. I would not trust anyone else with my car as I have Sokrat!

Dec 07, 2022

Very nice mechanic

Dec 07, 2022

I live right up the road. This garage was a dingy eyesore until O&M took over. I passed one day and saw an extremely modified Porsche sitting in the garage. That got my attention. First I had brakes done. Then inspection. Today I finally did my timing belt and water pump. Turns out I also needed a radiator which did not surprise me. The total price including the radiator was $800 less than the dealer without one. You won’t find a more competent honest mechanic in Pittsburgh than O&M.

Dec 07, 2022

O&M Automotive has done an excellent job of repairing my cars. Sokrat the owner is an experienced mechanic . He is professional, honest, transparent and trust worthy. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family.

Dec 07, 2022

Sokrat Namani is my guy!! Anytime I need anything done or fixed, he always gets me right in. And I never have an issue with anything that he ever fixes or replaces. I drive for a living and it’s a great relief knowing that he has me covered!! 6 stars if I could!

Dec 07, 2022

Sokrat is the only person I trust with my car! Very honest, pricing always fair. Very knowledgeable about foreign cars as well.

Dec 07, 2022

The personnel was exceptionally terrific! Swift and easy to come by and the prices are reasonable. Along with the candy in the office ! I would recommend coming here every time you need anything with automotive! The shop area is kept neat , but far most my favorite part is the cars that are in and out of the shop high end to your everyday cars the mechanics here can basically bring anything back to life from my experience but again I highly recommend coming here !

Dec 07, 2021

He has fixed 3 of my cars. Really understands the vehicles, very honest and I will certainly use him again.
