Grantville (PA)

Yes staff are very friendly but when u purchase a car its as is problems and all they won't correct it and with inspection some cars don't pass inspection but Still get a sticker on them ????but buying a car some are good some are not its a chance u take and they won't fix it if u just bought it and there's a problem they will say we won't touch the vehicle take it to a mechanic and that u bought the car as is

I received the car with the check engine codes cleared, but after only 250 miles, the light came back on for a timing issue. They attempted to fix it by replacing the timing components, but the repair was delayed and took over a week and a half. When I finally got the car back, it still had a bad catalytic converter. I had also mentioned that the AC wasn’t working. Instead of fully diagnosing the problem, they did the bare minimum to temporarily get it running. The AC failed again soon after, leaking out completely. Now they’re telling me they won’t do any more free repairs and won’t even tell me what’s wrong so I can have a reliable mechanic fix it. When you buy a car, you expect it to be free of major issues—not to deal with a check engine light, a bad cat, and a failing AC almost immediately. I was originally going to give them 4 stars for at least trying to resolve things with decent customer service, but after taking time off work to bring it in for AC repair only to be told it was “fixed” (when it wasn’t), my trust is gone. At this point, it feels like these cars are closer to junkyard quality than what you’d expect from a dealership.

Here's the bill, here's the condition of the car when it was returned. Reached out for a solution left on read. Won't be returning and I suggest you don't either. If you're expecting quality work done the right way look else where you'd be better off with a Facebook mechanic then using this place. Granted they did get my car running again but for 2500 I imagine anybody could've.

I am very protective of my vehicles and Malakin Motors staff are the only ones I trust with my babies. They have never steered me wrong or tried to tack on extras.

I purchased a truck cap from Malakin Motors LLC. When I arrived to pickup the cap the staff assisted with loading on my trailer. Professional and prompt service.

Went to test drive a 2016 jetta with only 89k miles on it. Priced at over 10k. I couldn't even back out of the parking spot before the check engine light started flashing at me and it almost cut out. The entire car was shaking like crazy. Doesn't appear they inspect any cars or they would know they're not working. Somehow it has an inspection sticker present??? Immediately left the lot as I don't trust a single car they have for sale now.

We were traveling from Vermont to Alabama and tire pressure notification came on, we stopped to put air in tire and realized it had a nail. I asked the lady in the store if there was someone local that could repair and she ( Sandy?) sent us to Malakan Motors. They got right on it and repaired the tire….FREE!! Tried to pay but the owner said no it was no problem. If you’re local or traveling and need assistance this is the place to go!!! Thank you so much for getting us up and going quickly. 😊

I wanted to love this place, I was initially satisfied with the customer service; However, they don't accurately represent cars they sell at auction. Cars they sell at auction are claimed to "run and drive" but I was later told they are never confirmed by driving them on the road where any issues would present themselves. I was informed "it's good enough not to scrap, it just needs too much to pass PA inspection," like tires and the abs pump, and I trusted that. How can this be determined when they then say they do not road test or at the very least put eyes under the car to confirm if it is actually scrap? In a place where rust is a major concern, I trusted a northern mechanic to at least know that much so they woudnt sell junk, even if it is an auction. The frame rails are rotted out where it mounts to the engine cradle, so much so welding is not viable. I shouldnt have trusted what I was told. With all of the reviews saying they were honest people, I thought I could.

Dave and Malakin Motors saved our weekend trip from NC to MA with an emergency brake job! They were able to get us in first thing in the morning and we were on our way in no time. Exceptional service and so thorough and pleasant. Five stars is not enough!

Don't ever buy a garbage vehicle from here. They're not honorable people sold me a vehicle a month ago thats constantly got issues engine and coils are coated and covered in oil. They made it able to run to drive off the lot and then the problems happened cylinder 7 misfired within 2 days I guess that happened because of me to.

I have gotten my last three vehicles here and all three have run very well. They did not pressure me into buying but made sure to explain everything I needed to know and we're very helpful. They also gave me a great deal as a trade-in on my former vehicle

Honest is the first word that comes to mind. Purchased a Celica from Dan. I had several conversations with Dan about the car and I felt completely at ease. Great experience!!

Great people to work with. I bought a dual sport motorcycle from them and they've been helpful even after I made the mistake they helped me clear it I'd recommend them anytime

Awesome experience!! Very professional, thorough, great dealership that we will recommend and be back for our next vehicle in the future!!

This company is the best! They are honest, caring, they go above and beyond to help you. I have bought and had my vehicles serviced there. They have never let me down. I have recommended them to all my family and friends.

Purchased a vehicle from these down to earth people. They treat and talk to you as a fellow human being. It felt as if they were the kind of people I could hang out with after work. Honest, and open, gave me the lowdown on the Chevy truck I purchased, and answered all questions I had about it without beating around the bush. I will consider them for future purchases.

Got an amazing car from them. There was a bit of an oil leak, so they went ahead and knocked enough off the price to cover the estimated cost of the part it needed. Dan was with us literally every day we came and took amazing care of us. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Friendly and outgoing service. Bought a used pickup, and they were upfront about all of the details, and quickly serviced the two items I had concerns about without raising the price. Time will tell, since I just bought it, but I'm currently very satisfied with the experience and would recommend them to others.

Yesterday I drove up from Maryland to look at a vehicle at Malakin Motors. Sue, Daniel, and David were very polite and welcoming. They answered all of my questions and were very transparent and straightforward. Daniel even accompanied me to get temp tags on the vehicle after I purchased it. I highly recommend this business and the group that runs it. Thanks Malakin Motors!

I usually don't write reviews but my experience with David and staff was such a good one that I want to recommend them to others. We were on a trip to New York and my car over heated right beside there shop. They pulled me right in, checked it out and gave me a loaner to get back on the road. The repairs were done, in a few weeks, and at a reasonable price. If I lived closer, I would make them my everything shop. So if you need a honest knowledgeable car shop, I highly recommend David.

I bought a used truck from them and it has been a great experience. They are helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and transparent. Great mechanical staff and excellent prices.

They fixed my car with the greatest of ease!!! I went in in the morning to put it on the computer to figure out why and which code they found it told me exactly what was wrong and how to and how much to fix but that afternoon i called back after talking to my husband and they had me come and they fixed it in a flash. Grateful for these amazing and very honest hard-working mechanics!

I love these guys! Worked with them for a while now. Always give honest appraisals and good prices. I won't be going anywhere else to get my car looked at. Highly recommend.

Great guys. Honest. Give you options and let you know the cheapest solution. Monro quoted us $800 to fix. Dan told me they could remove broken piece and replace with a new one for about $140, then showed me how I could fix it myself for cheap since it's a pretty beat 98 Chevy Malibu. Love these guys!

David was super helpful and went out of his way to make sure my car was fixed and in good condition. He offered a loaner car and the service was done in decent time. I will return for any future work i need on my car, even though its an hour away. He is trustworthy and to me thats worth it.

great place to go just bought an 04 Dodge Ram best prices in townand they really go the extra mile for their customers. when I purchased the truck it needed new tires they said they were going to put new tires on the for me had to bring it back. next day called me said tires are in ended up having to put a wheel bearing on it no cost to me. I will be bringing my vehicle back for scheduled maintenance top notch very customer-friendly

Absolutely love this place! First time here and have nothing but great things to say. Fantastic people, hard workers and beyond reasonable prices!! Also, done in a much much shorter time then expected. Congratulations you have a returning customer!
