Been going to Jim for 20 years and wouldn't ever go anywhere else. You can't find a mechanic with his level of customer service and integrity anywhere. Althouse is the best there is.

My favorite shop in town.i took my first car a Suzuki XL7 there once for a power steering pump replacement. I just took my Jeep for new brakes and they called me back to tell me I didn't even need them as they still had a lot of life in them. Talk about being honest and professional.

They have had our car for over two weeks. Called nobody picks up. They didn’t return phone calls. When we did finally here from they said the were really busy and apologized. I get it. But two weeks with no answers...come on. Unprofessional! Update Been back Jim Althouse. He’s turned out to be one of the best mechanics we have dealt with i. Berks Co. After our first issue was rectified.

Been taking my vehicles to Jim's garage for many years. Jim is honest, knowledgeable and very personable. His mechanics always have done great work for me. This shop is always my first choice for doing work. Can't recommend more highly!

Jim and his mechanics are great! They are HONEST and AFFORDABLE. I brought my Jeep here after another local garage was trying to screw me out of over $4000 for work that didn't need to be done. Jim and his mechanic were honest and for the other things that were wrong, I was charged a very affordable rate and I am very happy with the work. They got it done when they said they would. I will be coming back here for any/all repairs and inspections. I finally found a mechanic I can trust and that is affordable. Maybe now I won't have to do as much of my own work and can let Jim and his mechanics do it instead.

Best Auto shop Garage in Berks County. You can not find a more likeable, honest and reliable Mechanic then Jim Althouse who cares about you and your needs on a peronal level and his main Mechanic Frank. Fast and reliable and place that gets the job done right the first time. One of the few remaining honest, caring and reasonable price Mechanic's in the Berks County area. I will never take my car to any other Garage for any type of repair. All anyone has to do is bring your car in one time for repair and speak to Jim and I know you will have found your new Mechanic for all your car needs. The very best in the Berks County area hands down.

I was in the area from an hour away and my car was making a horrible sound like a lawnmower fighting a motorcycle. The lovely guys at the garage were able to accommodate me, diagnose my car and that I could safely drive it home! Great experience with them!
