What clients say about Mardinly Enterprises in Broomall (PA)
Beware!!! Did not have a good experience with Mardinly's. Brought my Mother in law's 94 Lexus there for work. My normal mechanic recommended them. Bad decision!! They always kept the car way longer then planned or expected (two weeks the first time). Also, were hard to get a hold of many times and never kept me updated on what was going on. The story goes: They replaced the power steering pump that was bad. Ok! Then the steering rack because the wheel was still so hard to turn with new pump. Fine! When I picked it up Dave said may be a slight leak from pump or rack, drive it a week or so and bring it back in. Definitely leaking...so brought it back. Said it was fixed after having the car longer then planned again! After awhile we noticed fluid was low again and pump noisy. Brought it back in again and now Dave said the power steering lines had been damaged and now leaking under the car somehow. Said that my Mother in law must have ran over something. Not sure how the lines could have been damaged when they are up in the engine compartment and there was no other damage to the car and it also had the plastic water deflecting shroud protecting it????Whatever, so he repaired them. And guess what! Sure enough there was still a leak after we got it back again.... wonderful!!! Brought it back AGAIN! Supposedly they fixed it. NO! Still Leaking. Finally we got smart and brought it to the Lexus dealership. The mechanic there while checking some other minor things out, found the power steering pump was where the leak was coming from. Even sent me a video of it leaking and said its going to need to be replaced. Now I'm going to have to pay to replace the pump again a little over a year later!!! Wondering if the leak all along was the aftermarket pump they installed.... So I called Mardinly's back and told them the news. Now this leak was going on for almost a year with all the work, return trips to fix the leak. Now if they determined the leak the many times they had the car, the pump could have been replaced under warranty. Well now, because it's been so long, they said the pump is out of it's 1 year warranty and there is nothing they can do for me after all that hassle and wasted time and over $2,000 later. Dave never spoke to me, I was told by the secretary....what great customer service. 👎 Obviously would not recommend!!
Contacted Paul to inquire about some estimates for rebuilding a GM 3.1L engine. Decided to go for it. Sadly, the engine needed A LOT more then we both expected, but Paul and his staff did a good job. It took a few months to get done but it runs like new. I went back 2 different times for small things, and also got a lot of "general" repairs done. Its the type of place that has 100 cars on the property and is full of parts and everything you can name for any kind of car. Paul is easy to talk to and knowledgeable. Not sure if the prices are fair as I've never had this type of work done, but it doesn't look easy. If I needed this type of work again, I'd go back.
I don’t know any other shop I could’ve took my 14-year-old Chevy Tahoe for electrical repair.
The dealerships were scratching their head trying to figure it out.
Mardinly Enterprises had it fixed in one day.
The price was exactly what I expected to pay.
No surprises.
Top-notch engine experts! They diagnosed and fixed a tricky issue that two other shops couldn’t find. On top of that, they kept the cost low, even though they could’ve easily justified more work. Honest and skilled—highly recommend.”
They are the worst! I took my engine there it sat like a year and they didn’t work on it. I asked for it back, got it back and they didn’t give me one of my parts back.
Mardinly is the only shop that would rebuild the 4.6 liter Modular V8 in my 2009 Mustang GT. Every other shop in the Philadelphia region was only interested in high performance builds. While the motor was out, they also removed and replaced the motor mounts, transmission mount, and clutch and related parts.
Lesson leaned, don't buy a rebuilt engine, let Mardinly rebuild.
Mardinly works on a wide range of engines. While I was there, I saw heavy equipment, diesel, Porsche, modern and vintage Toyota, classic cars, delivery trucks.
This is a legit mechanic/ machine shop that tackles major problems that most shops won't so keep them in mind with broken bolt extraction ,daily maintenance, major repair, etc

Had a clutch replaced, but they discovered the flywheel also had issues, thank god they had the machine in-house to fix it. Keep up the Awesome Job!!!
This place does so many things it's hard to describe it exactly. They are a machine shop a power generation shop a metal shop and an auto shop. They will rebuild the engine in your antique car or your industrial earth mover. They are fantastic at rust remediation. They took my rusted Toyota Tacoma and made it brand new. If it's mechanical and it's broken take it here for fixing!
My truck has been there for over two years. The engine work was said to be under warranty since they machined and built the lower end. If it was a lower end issue they told me they would just take care of it. Here we are… two years later, my trucks condition has completely deteriorated, and they blame their slow movement on Covid and staffing. Quite frankly I don’t even begin to fathom how they would do this. I do not have the funds to have it transported to another shop then taken apart and brought to them for the work. I’m between a rock and a hard place and they have done ZERO to get my truck done except just say “Dave is gonna look at it this week”. Well either Dave is blind or he’s looking at the wrong truck. They do good work, they’re a busy shop. But my money is as good as anyone else’s and I have been completely mistreated. The staff is nice and jimmy in the machine shop is great. But this is just a really really bad experience.
I put my SUV in the shop with Dave two weeks ago for him to fix the motor.he did a wonderful job. I would like to say thanks for the wonderful job and thinks the secretary to for all the calling I did and see helping me out
Met the owner Dave and he's a cool guy showed me around the shop and he has some cool cars he's doing . So if you need a engine or general repair he's your man.
Had oil leak from hose at alternator. Motor Seized up.estimated to replace motor $10500. 3 months later fixed for $17000.never told about Drastic price increase. 6 months later same hose breaks. 2 weeks to fix and charges $500 for 20 dollar hose that he replaced 6 months ago.
GAS LEAK,
Did not fix even tho he said replacement of simple piece of plastic should be easy. my whole car smells like gas, does not have the man power to do good work don't go. had to double covid mask as not to die from the smell of gas
I was told from another mechanic my top end of my 3.6l dodge grand caravan engine was wiped out. Dave the owner listened to the engine and told me it was cam and lifters just by sound. Dropped off few days later and when it was ready it sounded like a new engine. Great work and fast service.
When we were having trouble finding someone to do the work we needed done they got our fleet truck in and out in one day. They do great work, are well staffed, and can handle issues in everything from cars to large commercial vehicles. They even have an impressive machine shop on site, and can manufacture hard to get parts from scratch. I am very impressed with their business.
The guy that works here is a genius. He can fix anything, he has fixed my crane and bucket trucks numerous times and also handled routine maintenance. Great service!
Had an engine rebuilt on my Toyota and rust repaired. Work was quality, fast, and fairly priced. Communication was great and I was able to come in while they had it apart to see exactly what was being replaced.
Would not hesitate to do business with again and highly recommend them if you need engine work.
Dave and those guys are awesome got my truck going when no one else could even showed me what was broken and what had to be replaced not many shops do that
This place is a whole lot more than an auto repair shop. I have a leather business that I run from my home and I use a very large hydraulic press to cut the leather. When I was having trouble with it I wasn’t sure who to call and luckily found these guys. Dave, the owner, is incredibly helpful and sent two highly skilled mechanics to my house. It wasn’t cheap - at all - but they are honestly the best. It didn’t matter that they weren’t familiar with the machine or that it weighs 2,000lbs. They showed up with a fork lift and got to work diagnosing the issue. When the company I bought the machine from decided to just replace the machine for me (under warranty) NO delivery or freight company would deliver it to my home due to the fact that my driveway is an incline and they don’t do home deliveries. Mardinly stepped in and accepted the delivery at their place and then delivered it with ease to my home. Again, these guys aren’t cheap but it’s extremely nice to know that there’s someone who will actually get the job done...and get it done right!
I search All over the city for a good price and on a water pump and someone referred me to Mardinly, Dave,Patty, Bill who did the work and other . Guys over there was helpful and nice even though I was eager to get my vehicle. They explained that I also needed a timing chain. Came and pick me up when vehicle was finished. Runs great and gave me a fair good amount to get my repairs done. Thanks so much for all your help and good advice.
Work by Jim, the shop manager, and the rest of the guys there was impeccable. I received my 289 block back within a week much less greasy and machined to perfection. They went over what I wanted from the build and upon request included everything I needed to finish assembly - rings, bearings, and a complete gasket kit. All of this at an very reasonable price. I plan to have the heads rebuilt soon. Highly recommend!
Update: Had the heads completely rebuilt and machined. They had them back to me before the week was out. Excellent work and excellent people!
PLEASE PLEASE do not hire this company. Check the Delaware County Court Records. They aren't good people to do business with. They installed a Generac Generator in our home. It was installed with the wrong size generator, the wrong size and wrong type transfer switch, the wrong electric wiring, the wrong propane lines and sizes and wired incorrectly. It ended up leaking propane and caused a fire hazard. They didn't get an electrical inspection because if they did it wouldn't have passed. They didn't pull any permits as their website states they will. When the job was done the whole home was not powered. In a 5500 Square Foot home, only 4 lights, a refrigerator, and a TV were powered. There was no "homeowner training session" as stated on their website. There is so much I cannot state on this review however if anyone is even thinking about contacting this company or hiring them for anything feel free to reach out to me because when you hear my story, you won't think about hiring them now or in the future.
They did a job for much less than the stealership quoted me. The work was done perfectly and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. I do wish they would have let me know what was going on because after the car was dropped off I didn’t hear from them for almost 2 days. That’s my only complaint.
