What clients say about Roberts Automotive Towing & Service Center in Bloomsburg (PA)

Staff was friendly but who im assuming was the owner will take advantage of you if you need help. Nearly $100 on just a jump, something most places and people would do for free. They'd rather get a quick buck than keep customers. Not going back.

Next time the tow truck cuts out in front of me I’ll just hit it, learn how to drive

Awesome and honest. Transmission was not catching. They diagnosed the problem as a leak in the transmission fluid, (could have easily told me I needed a $3k transmission rebuild) and got me on my way.

When my youngest daughters car broke down in Bloomsburg PA- 2 hours from home, Robert's Automotive came to the rescue...they got the car towed to their shop that evening and diagnosed the very next day. Scott and Eric were professional, informative and extremely helpful in her time of need. They answered all my questions and returned all my calls. Highly recommended by this satisfied customer!

Had to have my car towed late on a Friday night to the local Chevrolet dealership and they couldn't get to it for weeks. Called Roberts and they were able to tow and service my car that day. All for a fair price too. Couldn't recommend them enough to anyone in the Bloomsburg area.

Oh right - had my truck up there twice. First time - they fixed things that had nothing to do with the problem. When I came to pick it up they said - oh you're paying with a card - that's an charge. 2nd time I went ' different cashier - checked out with my debit card - no questions asked no extra charges. Beware!

My college daughter got stranded in the middle of a 7 hour trip home from college. Quentin was the only positive and was helpful as she was upset. After that it was a disaster with Brandon calling and basically throwing expensive options out to us but really had no idea what was wrong with the car...at this point we had no faith in the repairing capabilities of this shop and had it towed to Wes Matthews Auto (for several hundred dollars) where the car was troubleshooted and repaired the same day for less than HALF what we paid for "diagnostics" at Roberts and the 2nd tow. Don't waste your time being towed here...go straight to Wes!

Our exhaust fell apart today. Corey from the shop came out and towed it to our shop. Then he dropped us off at home. He was friendly, courteous and thoughtful. Great employee, service station and customer service. Highly recommend!

I had a new catalytic converter put in my car a little over a month ago and it's still running clean as a whistle! The people there were super cool and welcoming, and made the whole process stress-free. They were also able to use my Carvana warranty! Carvana cars should go here %1000

My daughter had a slow leak in her tire and we were expecting her to need a new tire. Robert fixed the leak and then kept the car a few days to make sure the leak had stopped. He told her that she will eventually need a new tire, but not at this time and it would be good for her drive to clinicals and back home to NY. He will always get our business and our recommendation when someone asks for a mechanic in the area.

Oh my GOSH! Corey was so good when he came to tow my car! He was very professional, knowledgeable, kind and patient despite the circumstances in this cold, cruel and windy winter weather! If you ever call Robert's automotive you'd better hope you get Corey as your man! I've dealt with Robert's Automotive several times and it's a pretty good company with different experiences with different drivers each time and Corey, by far, was/is the BEST! Blessings to Corey!

Called for our son's car as he goes to Bloomsburg U. Schedule to get a starter replaced and ended up just needing the plug fixed. They could've changed out the starter anyway but chose to save my son the expense. They were honest and great to deal with on the phone. Nice to know there are still honest places out there. thanks Brandon for being helpful and honest.

Edited to 4 stars because they called me instead of just going ahead with the work. This is worth a lot. Went in because I needed them to find a short in the electrical system. I told them that the diagnostics didn't work because of something the previous owner did to the computer. Then the mechanic Brandon called me back to say that the diagnostic was telling them the alternator wasn't getting a pulse. I asked them to check for the actual short and they said they couldn't without replacing the alternator. Got them to do a tire repair and oil change since it was already there, and they managed to snap the quick release lever off my passenger seat. Ended up going down to pick up the car to do the alternator exchange myself. Except I bought the food to do a proper check for shorts, and the alternator was working fine. I was able to drive the car for 8 hours without a problem. *Drove it for a week,all the way to the West Coast with no problem. They never fixed the issue I went in for. Fine for basic service, but clearly not an experienced mechanic. Staff were mostly decent, but far from friendly. Driver who came in to collect my payment on a Saturday was the best part of my experience. (They were worried I wouldn't pay) Thanks to him.

My husband and I are from Texas. We have a small business transporting pets. Our check engine light came on and the van started running rough. Of course we had pets with us. This place was WONDERFUL. They got it diagnosed, fixed, and had us back on the road in a few hours! Huge THANK YOU from us, our clients, and our company.

All the guys there are super nice, honest and respectful everytime I'm there! And they have definitely towed cars for me more than once and I've always been satisfied with the service I've received from them. They recently tried to fix an issue I was having with my vehicle when they unfortunately decided it needed to go somewhere else for a specific problem butà they were so nice and honest they took off all the new things that they figured out weren't the problem and

I had gotten my service van stuck in a deep ditch that was covered in leaves and not visible. Not even a 4x4 pickup was able to get me out. Made a call to Roberts and they showed up promptly and got me out and on my way quickly with no damage to my vehicle. The young man on the roll back was polite and professional. Highly recommended service!

Had them tow my car to here to get welded, upon explaining the situation, it was something they claimed to be capable of doing. They then called and said it would take approximately 10 hours to fix and asked if I wanted them to go ahead and proceed and I said yes. They estimated at around $1,000 to repair, which was fine. Then I get a call saying upon looking further into it, all of a sudden it would take over 1,000 hours to repair I was told, which is insane and that if the car could be fixed it would cost at least $5,000, but they weren't capable of that. The one worker then drove it into the garage and put it up on the lift to show me and when he got out of my car, he slammed the door into the lift and said nothing, no apology, just hoped I didn't see it, thankfully no noticeable damage, but still. I then told them I would pick up my car and tow it myself and they agreed to leave my key in the car so I could access it. Next, I go to get it and the car is locked and the shop was closed, as it was early and on the weekend, so about an hour of waiting and the owner finally showed up after calling multiple times to get ahold to get my key, which was promised to be left in under the seat with the door unlocked. Lastly, I towed it to a more local shop where it was welded to top-notch quality, at a cost of less than $1,000. Attached are pictures of it on the lift in the shop for proof.

Awesome and fast professional service. The tow person, QUENTIN towed my 20 foot boat and trailer which required a special skill to load it with care being taken to protect the outboard (lower unit) which would have to clear the ground when the boat was tilted up. I would highly recommend this business. I never thought I would find a rollback heavy duty enough on Labor Day. He was there within 30 min.

I had an unexpected flat tire and after contacting my state farm emergency roadside service, they hooked me up with Robert's Automotive service. It was a Sunday afternoon and it took about 6 hours for them to come get my car, but they did contact me to let me know when to expect them. (They were really busy, apparently I wasn't the only unfortunate one that day) They towed my car to the destination of my choice and it was there at opening time the very next morning. Overall, I am very content with the service they provided. Also, when I spoke with the operator, he was professional, kind and well spoken. 5/5 would refer or use again.

My husband had car trouble about 200 miles from home and needed a tow. We have the premium package of AAA which covers 1 tow of 200 miles. I was absolutely appalled at the service I got which was nothing. Two different towing companies AAA called would come out however couldn't come for days, one company said 1week. If you leave your vehicle in a strange place that long the police will impound it. I called Roberts after researching a little about the area my husband was stuck in and they had no problem coming out at all. The driver was professional and experienced, the truck was well maintained and clean. The weather wasn't great snowing and windy and really quite cold that night but the driver came out and towed the car where we wanted it to be repaired. The tow was expensive but worth every dollar to get our car out of that area and back home. This Towing company is top notch and dependable, I highly recommend them and really grateful I contacted them. AAA on the other hand...once my membership expires this year I won't be renewing. It's like they want your money for the membership and hope you never use it. I've been a member for 9 years and they are nothing like they used to be not even close

My car got hung up on a steep bank backing out of a driveway, with no way to get my front wheels moving forward which just kept spinning and making a deeper rut in the soft soil. Quentin arrived and quickly evaluated the situation, figured the best way to pull my car out of that area, and had me on the road in a flash. Hands down, one of the best service call experiences I have ever had.

This business is exceptional! I needed their assistance along the interstate and I was 2 hours from home. The 2 gentlemen that assisted me road side were extremely kind and professional, their communication with me (even though I was 2 hours away) was excellent, they had my car repaired quickly, are a great value (I needed a new alternator and their price for parts,repair and service was more than fair) and I was more than satisfied with their work. I would definitely consider utilizing their services again (even with being 2 hours away).

I cannot say enough good things about Nate and the good, honest people at Roberts Auto Towing and Service. Our son's car broke down at 3 a.m. on I-80 on his way to work. All signs pointed to a clutch/transmission problem. Roberts came and towed the car, took it back to the shop, did the diagnostics and found a badly misfiring cylinder. A job that could've been a few thousand dollars turned into a few hundred. We were totally at their mercy; the car was stranded and my son was from out of town. It all worked out great; the car is running better than ever. Thank you, Roberts.

Traveling from Indiana back to Long Island NY in my Hino tow truck I broke down on Route 80. Not familiar with the area I googled repair shops near me. These guys came up. I called and explained the situation. They took my truck in and the very expensive car I was towing and kept it safe until I returned with another truck. They fixed my truck and I was able to get back on the road. They kept me informed with the progress of my repair and were extremely fair with the price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thanks again guys!

Sent to tow my car by AAA. So no charges for me. Arrived within 45 min. Texted a 10 min arrival time so i was waiting by the car. Carefully hooked up tow and arrived promptly at my chosen dealership. Tow person very polite and courteous. Would use service again.

A Negative 10 Star Rating from us! Rude incompetent scammers. Used this service one time - not by choice - and we’ll never use them again. My son wrecked his car because of snow less than a mile from home. Our insurance agency called a tow truck service to tow the vehicle to our house. The insurance company planned to have someone assess the car’s damage within a couple of days. After 4+ hours sitting in the cold, this company came. After getting the car on the tow truck after 9:00 PM , the driver told us that his boss said that he has to tow it back to the garage which is 16 miles away! Our house is less than a mile away! The driver said he refuses to take it anywhere but to the business. We even got our insurance agent on the phone at the scene of the accident and made him talk to her and he very rudely said again that he refuses to take it to our home and that it has to go to the business. This was a scam to get more money out of the insurance company. We went to Roberts Towing to clean out the car two days later, and they had the car blocked in by a plow truck! Do your research before submitting to these crooks. Edited to respond to their response. There was space for 3 cars and then our son’s car. The car was very obviously boxed in by the plow truck purposely. I told a few other people about our experience (young driver; first accident; first experience with the snow...that kind of thing..) including the experience with the towing company. They asked which company we had to deal with and when I said the name, 2 different people went on to tell me a bad experience they had or a friend had involving this company and another person said “Yeah, I dealt with them once. Never again.” But kudos for replying so quickly. Maybe you guys will straighten up your act one day soon.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They are rude, incompetent, and untruthful. I was towed by this company on Tuesday. The driver could not figure out how to put my car into neutral to get my car on the tow truck. He proceeded to take my center console apart, then went under the hood of my car and broke my shifter. He did not put anything back together, dragged my car onto the tow truck and then proceeded to watch YouTube video's to figure out how to get it off the truck when at the dealership. Thankfully, the service technicians at the dealership were able to show him how to get my car down. But on inspection of the car I was informed that the pins on my shifter had been destroyed, by tow truck drivers actions. Called Roberts office and the manager/owner denied that the driver had anything to do with the problem. He refused to pay for repairs, and at one point wouldn't even get on the phone with me, just told his receptionist to tell me it wasn't their fault. Company is crooked. Will be calling the Better Business Bureau
