What clients say about Plum Automotive Service Center in Plum (PA)
This was my second time here for car maintenance: it was bizarre because when I went in they said they'd replace both front brake pads for a total of $665, and I agreed. But in the end, my bill came to $799. I know the actual price of my brake pads was less than $250, but they did it in an hour and charged $799. They knew I was a foreigner, so they did it this way, and I will never come back here again. Anyone planning to get their car serviced here should be very careful.
Love this place. Started taking cars here for inspection several years ago. Always honest and provide useful information on the car to include maintenance that they don’t perform. Will continue using them!
I've been going to Plum Auto for at least 12 years now. They are honest, fast, explain everything, give options and do exceptional work! I highly recommend!
The last place I lived in New York was a small town called Rosendale. There, I found a family owned auto repair shop that was honest and trustworthy. I was reticent to move to Pittsburgh just so I could keep my gold mine of a find.
But alas, to Pittsburgh I moved and my quest for an honest mechanic ensued. That journey ended when I found Steve and Plum Automotive. Steve is a no nonsense, no fluff guy who is competent and gets to the point. I've come to trust him and his diagnosis. If he can't do it, he will tell you and then refer you to a place that can. I am blessed to have found Plum Automotive.
For over 20 years, I have been taking my automobiles to Steve for service. From the very beginning when I saw his list of ethics on the wall above his desk in his original shop, he has lived up to those standards. I trust him to be fair and honest, taking care of the safety of my family when it comes to our autos. Would recommend him above all others. I have been a customer of his since 1998 when I moved to the Pittsburgh area. You can trust his work and in him as a professional.
Been using Steve for couple years now. Take my Honda van to him for inspection and emission with some other work as needed. Always good prices and correct. Never had any problems. Trustworthy
Since my former mechanic went out of business, I switched over to PASC. So far it's been great. Have had two inspections and services done. Clear communications, work seems to be quality and prices are fair. I've been able to get reasonably fast appointments and I've been able to drop off in the evenings with the drop box, pay over the phone and pick up at my convenience. Very satisfied and would recommend.
You should definitely take your car to this friendly family automotive shop. Just put breaks and rotors on my car, inspection and oil change. Didn't even break the bank. Take your car here before you consider a chain automotive joint! Ask for Steve!
Great work and fair prices. I must say they are one of the few mechanics that I actually trust knowing that they are being straight forward with you. I highly recommend.
Transmission replaced. Their pricing was not only $1000 less than the next cheapest shop, but $200 less than the original quoted price. The work they did was high quality and done in a timely manner. I will recommend this shop to everyone and will use them from now on.
Been doing business with Plum Automotive since 1998. The first thing that I noticed when I walked into his shop back then, was a code of ethics posted in a small frame on his wall above his desk. It was never spoken of, but I read it and Steve has always lived up to that in his business with me. I couldn't have found a more honest and knowledgeable person to trust with the safety of my family in an auto than him. Thanks Steve.
Steve (the owner) is friendly and is always quick to diagnose problems. He always seems to know right away exactly what's wrong. Their prices are reasonable and they work quickly.
Awesome place. Great service, I was treated kindly, and professionally. He was very quick. Honest guy. I would highly recommend plum automotive to anybody who needs anything done. Its worth the distance if its far for you.
Steve and his crew are the best! They always do a great job for a fair price and Steve always answers my concerns when i call him. I would highly recommend Plum Auto!
These guys are great! Fair, honest and are great at what they do! I've been going there for a long time and highly recommend Plum Auto. Steve and his son Connor are good guys, I'm so glad I found them!!
Absolutely one of the fairest mechanics that I've ever dealt with. They managed to fix my car quickly. I would recommend these guys to pretty much anyone.
Most RELIABLE , HONEST AND PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC AROUND !

Steve and his mechanics are OUTSTANDING !
Fantastic customer service !
I HIGHLY recommend Plum Automotive !
Tough day after being stuck on Allegheny River Blvd at 730am, but these guys were able to get me in, without an appointment, and complete the work that needed done to get me going again. Because I was in a pinch to get my Honda back ASAP, just like everyone else, I was able to purchase the (alternator) parts on my own prior to arriving for them to install. Steve, the owner, suggested that by doing do, I'd save some cash! Being curious I called a Honda dealer who quoted me $600 to replace an alternator! Because I bought and brought in my parts my cost was $128!!!
These guys are honest, fast, and efficient. Definitely, will be coming back!
Honesty is a hard thing to find when dealing with automotive repair shops.
Luckily I take my cars to Plum Auto, and have no worries about being billed unnecessarily. Steve and the guys let me know what can, and can't wait !
Great first visit for state inspection. Took my Forester to Plum Automotive for a state inspection. Steve the owner was able to drive me home in my own car which gave him the opportunity to hear any odd noises coming from the car. They were finished by lunch time and came to pick me up. Best of all they were honest and did not try to sell me any unnecessary fixes. The inspection total was much lower than I have paid elsewhere. I already recommended them to my neighbor and will be taking my wife’s Impreza there also.
