The team at Phil’s was great! Very thorough, communicative, and transparent.

I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else in the city! I needed a quick turnaround for a road trip and Phil assured me that’s it would be taken care of in time. My suspension no longer squeaks! I wish I knew about Phil a long time ago. Excellent customer service, transparency, & quality!

Nothing but great things to say! Good price, kind people, fast turn around.


Nov 07, 2024

Customer care was great. Car was serviced for needed repairs. Recommendations were offered for future repairs. Costs were reasonable. Going back!


Nov 07, 2024

Phil and Crystal were so helpful and kind to me. I got my car inspected very reasonably and lots of extra help! Fabulous!


Oct 07, 2024

I had such a lovely experience at Phil’s! I got my oil changed at a separate Philly garage and they diagnosed my car with a ton of issues and gave me a super high quote for them — they were quite pushy for me to get the services done then and there, despite the high cost being out of my budget then. It left me with a bad feeling so I went to Phil’s for a second look. He easily could’ve sold me on the same scam diagnosis, but instead thoroughly and thoughtfully checked out my car and pointed to where the first estimate was off. I appreciated his honesty and transparency — he took photos of everything as my car was serviced and even helped walk me through a few parts once it was complete. I will definitely be back!


Oct 07, 2024

My very first time meeting a really honest mechanic ! I'm so relieved that I'll never have to look for another mechanic again !


Sep 07, 2024

Excellent Service! Highly Recommend. I will be back!


Sep 07, 2024

Went there for a estimate and the hospitality was not great at all the gentleman that I spoke with appeared to be suppressing his arrogance to a point where he had some kind of panic attack by way of coughing. I will not patronize a unwelcoming business even with a fare price.


Aug 07, 2024

Extremely helpful folks at Phil’s Excellent Auto Service! I will be coming back for any auto issues I have.


Aug 07, 2024

Great communication & quick service. I felt very confident in knowing what was going on.

I never leave reviews, but this is the easiest 5 star ever! I randomly chose Phil’s Excellent Auto Service after seeing all of the positive reviews. I have never felt so well taken care of by an auto repair shop before today. I damaged my bumper and headlight in a fender bender when my vehicle was only a year old (just got around to getting it fixed). My insurance company made the service take a little longer, not Phil’s fault; however, he and his team still went above and beyond to accommodate me for the time. I received updates from them consistently and left with a fresh wax and detailed interior (the photo doesn’t do the interior enough justice). They did not have to do that, and I will definitely be a returning customer! I also paid significantly less than what I was quoted at another shop a friend referred me to months back when the accident initially happened.


Aug 07, 2024

Lifesaver! They got me in asap when I was super concerned about an issue. Once they start the work, they text you an inspection link that has photos and descriptions of everything they've looked at, which is super helpful. Crystal was really nice and helpful too :)

You ever get on the phone with a shop to ask for a simple price quote, on having an aftermarket BBK installed. But before you can say that, the overbearing female receptionist, starts barking out the riot act🤮 We will inspect your vehicle and tell you what you need!!! We don’t use parts brought in from other vendors!!! We order the parts at our price and you pay it!!! NO THANKS😂😂😂 I need an already in my possession quadratec big brake kit heavy duty performance package installed. It’s all plug and play, new larger drilled and vented rotors, new 2 piston larger calipers, new stainless steel brake lines, new heavy duty pads. It’s the 2019-2024 JL front kit rebranded by Quadratec for JK Wranglers. I know exactly what I had and the work required to install, it is a plug and play, no modifications kit. YouTube has multiple videos on the conversion, its 45 min of work. So to have this condescending female phone receptionist, tell me how it was going to be.🤨 I’ll opt out and have my regular shop do the work, even if it means waiting till next week, since they are booked up. A testament to their quality and expertise🫡 If you need an overbearing dominating female to talk down to you, give this muppet factory a call. Otherwise if you’re a competent human being who doesn’t appreciate being spoken to disrespectfully, avoid this Bush League establishment.

Phil is a great friend and he give you what you came for. He knows a great deal about cars


Jul 07, 2024

Phil's Excellent Auto Service was great and would highly recommend for all auto services needed. They went above and beyond to get me a excellent price and didn't try to gouge me. They even helped out with a few extra services and treated those small jobs with as much dedication as my car!


Jul 07, 2024

The price was very fair and they were very fast. Great experience and highly recommend


Jul 07, 2024

They were super fast and helpful!


Jul 07, 2024

Un buen lugar para que lleves tu auto y te lo dejen trabajando bien experiencia atención y deseos de hacer las cosas de la mejor manera después de tantos mecánicos encontré a alguien que si se preocupa por los problemas que llevamos en nuestros carros los recomiendo al 100%


Jun 07, 2024

I must say that I TRULY THANK Phil's Excellent Auto Service Inc for the Great Job they performed on My Jeep Grand Cherokee..It needed a new radiator in addition to other numerous repairs...As a result, they provided a full report that was professionally created in excellence, and MOST OF ALL the fact that HE TOOK ON A TASK that I wasn't sure could be resolved without possibly PAYING MORE MONEY$$$$ is the ICING ON THE CAKE of Full Gratitude!!!😊


May 07, 2024

Great experience!

I had the pleasure of working with Phil. Phil is a nobleman who strives for excellence. After months of figuring out the main cause of my shifting issues, I was in need to find another mechanic. What stood out was his promptness, attention to detail, and honesty. His communication system is top-of-the-line. It provided details of the problem, what is recommended, pictures of the diagnostic findings, and an estimate that explains all the costs associated with the job. After the service, he exceeded my expectations and gave me the confidence and knowledge to tend to my car properly. I don’t plan on using anyone else other than Phil to repair my car.


May 07, 2024

Ive been looking for a mechanic for a while and Phil’s is exactly what I've been looking for, great staff and work highly recommended !


May 07, 2024

Took my car for service. Very bad attitude after sending over $2000. Went in for oil pump within 2 weeks car was total. Worse experience ever.

I live down the street and they never stop amazing me on how punctual and caring they are when it came to my car. I'm originally from a small town so I rather pick a family owned business than a big corporate company. I couldn't move my car due to it having a faulty starter and flat tire, they came out to my car; inspected and moved it to their shop without extra cost. They finished my car within the same day of me dropping it off. They did a full inspection to tell what also needed to be replaced in the car without any extra cost. The lady at the front desk provided great customer service and is always a pleasure to speak with. Mario and Phil both did an amazing job of getting my car back to me quick. Will be sticking with this business for anything that happens to my car.


Mar 07, 2024

Awesome customer service! Great updates and communication.


Mar 07, 2024

Lives up to the name! Excellent service and quick turn around. Phil goes above and beyond.


Feb 07, 2024

My mini trash bin was knocked over, came back to trash in my car. $820 later and car is not fixed. Checked with another mechanic, was definitely overcharged by a whole lot. already paid what can I do. Id give 0.

As a newcomer to Philly that's always lived in small towns, I was nervous about finding a good trustworthy local place to have my vehicle serviced. I reached out on the local Facebook page and Phil's was one of the spots that was recommended most. I needed a PA state inspection and they were able to get me in and out in a day. Phil and the team were welcoming and friendly. I appreciated the communication (via the text service) with updates, and that the repairs that were needed were a very reasonable price. I was back on the road by the end of the day. I certainly will be returning for any future car needs and would enthusiastically recommend Phil's to anyone needing service in the South Philly area!
