Best shop in NEPA hands down. Always fast, friendly, competent, and honest. My go to auto repair for 10 years now.

Best shop in the area, great people! Please keep Mike busy!!

Jacob, this one gave us a good laugh! 😄 We'll do our best to keep Mike busy. Thank you for trusting us with the state inspection on your Honda Accord and for taking the time to leave such a kind review. Knowing you think we're the best shop in the area means more to us than you know.

Nice enough people in person, but feel they utterly fleeced me. I was traveling to Scranton for work from out of state, and car broke down just outside town. Had it towed to Scranton Auto Repair. They charged $238.40 for diagnostic that took maybe 30 minutes to determine that the ground cables were loose or faulty- diagnostic would have been maybe $150 anywhere else. Then they charged me $371.93 for parts and labor to replace the ground cables - my local Honda dealership quoted cost for parts and labor to be $142.72 since that too is about a 30 minute job. I feel that they took advantage of me since I was from out of state and stranded. Oh, they did give me 5 minute ride to my work site, which was nice, but not worth the amount I was overcharged. Edited to add: I do admit that I approved the repair at that price since I was under duress- needed the car back, and did not have the luxury of calling around to find a better price.

Hi, Emilie. We are truly saddened to read your review and even more disappointed to learn that you left feeling this way.

Our team works hard to treat every customer with honesty, respect, and transparency, regardless of where they're from. We understand that unexpected vehicle repairs can be frustrating, and we appreciate that you acknowledged approving the repairs before the work was performed.

This is an awesome auto repair . Got me in the shop quickly right after the 4th of July. Really advanced technology to have my car analyzed, quick repair and text messages . I would definitely recommend them. They really was trying to save me money than to just an expensive fix.

Excellent service! I love their reports for work description and details. Front desk has great bedside manner. Highly recommended.

Zarack, thank you so much for the awesome review! We love hearing that the detailed reports stood out to you. We put a lot of effort into making sure our customers can actually see and understand what’s going on with their vehicles instead of just being handed a bill at the end.

Fast, friendly service. They put thought into keeping you safe and getting the most out of your vehicle. Sometimes that might cost a few extra bucks. Better safe than sorry, right? And if you’re into nerdy stuff like toys,comics and sci-fi movies like me, you’ll love talking to John. Do yourself a favor and get your car fixed here. They’ll make sure you leave satisfied.

Wally’s Nerdery, this review was awesome — thank you! We really appreciate you recognizing the thought and care that goes into the recommendations we make for our customers.

While driving the farm van for a pickup. (hightop promaster) I had a wheel bearing go bad rather suddenly. I pulled off 81. Stopped quick and checked the wheel. Yep. Well knowing it's not going to make it far and I was an hour from home. I did a quick google search. For a close places. Im so glad I found these great people. They were Just off the highway, like less than half a mile. So i nursed it slow to their place. I was in a total bind. While stranded and waiting for a ride. The office folks kept me occupied with nice conversation for over an hour. Really they made a tough situation go well. So much so I wasn't even in a crap mood by the time I got home. They got the van in the next morning and sent me photos and description of what needed done by text and the price breakdown. How great is that! They would have had it finished that day but had to wait for parts. Which I was fine with me as this was completely unscheduled obviously and I'm not a regular customer of theirs. It was all done at the price they quoted. So I was very happy with the service and fully recommend them.

Stan, thank you so much for taking the time to share this story. We know how stressful and frustrating a breakdown like that can be—especially when you’re far from home and just trying to get work done. We’re really glad you found us and that we could help make a rough situation a little easier. It means a lot to hear that the team helped turn your day around, even if it was just with some conversation while you waited. That’s exactly how we’d hope someone would treat us if we were stranded away from home. We truly appreciate your patience with the parts delay and are glad we could get your Promaster safely back on the road. Thanks again for trusting us in a stressful moment and for the recommendation—it really means a lot to our whole team.

Overcharge of the century. Charged me $230 for rotors on my tiny Mitsubishi Mirage average price for them is around $85 each so he made $65 extra dollars on each rotor for me. The Bill for 2 rotors 2 brake calipers and a set of brake pads came out $1175. I do not recommend.

Mister A, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, even though we understand your frustration. We always aim to be transparent with our pricing and repairs, and all work is quoted and approved before it’s performed. The total repair included not only rotors and brake pads, but also brake calipers, bleeding the system, brake fluid, labor, shop supplies, taxes, warranty coverage, and the quality parts used in the repair. We understand that parts can sometimes appear cheaper online or through retail pricing, but the parts we install are sourced through our professional suppliers and backed by warranty support to help ensure safety and reliability. That said, we never want a customer leaving unhappy, and we do appreciate the opportunity to have serviced your Mitsubishi Mirage. We wish you the best moving forward.

Called at the last minute to see if they could take my car that morning. Took it in and had it ready at 1:00. Service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely use again for auto service and repairs. Highly recommend.

Joseph, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re really glad you had a great experience with the team and that you felt well taken care of.

The shop was nice enough to take our vehicle in without a appointment, we didn't expect that. I gave them a list of the known issues it had and the services it needed. I requested a itemized list of service and parts needed to get vehicle back on the road safely and reliably in addition to the items I was aware of. I received a text message with estimate of repairs and pictures of additional items requiring repair or replacement. Was I ever surprised at what was found. Without going into details about the findings, let's just say to make this car safe, comfortable and reliable it was cheaper to get another vehicle than repair this one. I am glad I brought the vehicle to this shop because of the fact that they were honest, thorough and upfront with me about the car. I'm glad that I found the issues now instead of the hard way later. I will be bringing my vehicles back to Scranton Auto Service in the future.

Ken, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We know it’s never easy getting news like that about a vehicle, but we truly believe honesty and transparency are the most important parts of what we do. We’d much rather help someone make the right decision now than see them end up stranded or dealing with something unsafe later on. We’re glad we could get your vehicle in quickly, thoroughly go through everything, and give you a clear picture of what was going on. Hearing that you appreciated the photos, communication, and honesty really means a lot to our team. Thank you again for trusting us with your vehicle, Ken. We look forward to helping you with your future vehicles down the road.

I scheduled a appointment for a front end check and a alignment of my 14 Ford. It was found that the tiered ends were seized and required replacement before a alignment could be done. I approved the repairs and all the work was completed. The steering and alignment has not been this precise and responsive for years. I appreciate their honesty in not selling you services that are not needed. If they feel something is needed they will photograph it and show why parts or services are needed. Totally honest with the customer. I will be bringing my vehicles back in the future

The service was quick, efficient and they were punctual with the appointment. Melissa and John were very professional, polite and knowledgeable.

Thanks so much for the awesome 5-star review! We’re really glad we could get your Ram 1500 Lone Star taken care of quickly and keep everything running on schedule for you. Your kind words about the professionalism and communication from the team truly mean a lot. We appreciate you trusting us with your truck and taking the time to share your experience. Looking forward to seeing you next time!

One of the few places who’s not after your money. John is a great guy. Had some problems with my hood and the front of the car. The problem was not fixable without the body shop, still he did the best he could and fixed me up with a temporary solution. Didn’t charge a single penny, and advised me what i needed to get done in depth. The lady at the reception is also very nice and friendly. Will be recommending this place and john especially to everyone.

Smit, thank you so much for the thoughtful review. We know it’s never fun dealing with unexpected problems like that, so we’re really glad we could help you out with your Toyota Camry and at least point you in the right direction. Your kind words about the honesty, communication, and friendliness of the team truly mean a lot to us. We believe people deserve straight answers and genuine help, even when the repair itself isn’t something we can fully handle in-house. And don’t worry — we’ll make sure John sees this. It’ll absolutely make his day. Thanks again for the recommendation and support, Smit.

From the front desk to the bays everyone at Scranton Auto went above and beyond to help my son get his truck back on the road while he was away at college (Marywood). I would recommend to parents who have kids at college in the Scranton area this is the place to go.

Friendly staff and excellent service. I would recommend all day

Jason, thank you so much for the great review! We’re really glad you had a great experience and that everything—from the service to the team—hit the mark for you. It was a pleasure taking care of your tire rotation, inspection, and oil change. We truly appreciate the recommendation—it means a lot to us!

I recently just moved to the area and needed to get my vehicle inspection done. John assisted me and setup an appointment the following morning. When I return the next day the office staff was extremely friendly and courteous, as I waited had pleasant conversations with them made me feel welcome to the state and area. Great work and efficient.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, and welcome to the area! We’re really glad we could get you in quickly and make your first experience with us an easy one.

Scranton Auto was genuinely the best mechanic shop experience I have ever had! Everything was very transparent, John and Melissa were very kind and helpful. John walked me through a bunch answers to my questions, and was very realistic about the issues that are common with my car. I appreciate all of the work they did. Additionally, they were clear about each charge, and the pricing was much more than fair. On top of all of that: they made sure I wasn’t stuck without a vehicle while mine was in the shop- as someone who recently moved here from out of state, this was SO appreciated. I seriously cannot recommend them enough, and I will not use anyone else while I am in NEPA. Thank you guys!

Terrific people ! Terrific service!

I had a really great experience here and truly appreciate the honesty and care I received. John is very passionate about what he does, and it shows. He took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I fully understood what was going on with my car, which I really valued. Melissa at the front desk was also very kind, helpful, and welcoming throughout the entire process. My current car issues were really stressful, but they made me feel supported and taken seriously.

As parents to a college student in Scranton, we needed to quickly find a repair shop when she had emergency car trouble. A quick Google search sent us to Scranton Auto Service. The positive reviews impressed us immediately so, we had her car towed there. They were efficient communicators and had her car checked over before the end of the day ( and it was towed there at 4pm!) They diagnosed the problem, quoted us honest prices and sent invoices electrically ( which is great when your college kid lives in another state!) The work was completed in a timely manner and came in under the quoted price. We are thrilled to have found a reliable, honest and dependable auto shop that we can rely on as needed to keep our daughter’s vehicle safe and dependable while she is attending college.

Lana, this truly made our day. We know how nerve-wracking it can be when your college student is away from home and something goes wrong with their car. Getting that call is never fun. We’re so glad you found us and trusted us to take care of her Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Being able to communicate quickly, send everything electronically, and keep you in the loop—especially from another state—is really important to us. And we’re happy we could get everything handled so quickly after that late-day tow. Thank you for putting your confidence in us. We’ll treat her car like it belongs to our own family and make sure she stays safe on the road while she’s here in Scranton.

Ive often been to Scranton Auto Service since 2016, for 3 different used cars. The owner, Tommy, runs an efficient shop with the best service available at the fairest prices! John, in the office, goes above and beyond scheduling, as he looks out for the customer's interests...and John is up to date and fastidious in assessing and repairing, adjusting, replacing anything and everything that needs attention to your car, along with Tommy's assessments and working with him to do the best job! They treat their customers like family and Tommy thinks of his employees as family, as well.

Katherine, thank you so much for your continued trust since 2016. Taking care of three different vehicles for you over the years truly means a lot to our entire team. We’re grateful for your kind words about how we run the shop and the care that goes into every vehicle that comes through our doors. Treating customers like family isn’t just something we say — it’s how we operate every day. And it means even more to hear that you feel that. Thank you for being such a valued part of the Scranton Auto family. We look forward to many more years of taking great care of you and your vehicles.
