Schade's Auto Repair Inc in
Irwin (PA)

Had an appointment recently walked into waiting room no one was at counter but one look around of the condition of the waiting area I just walked out . Black mold on what looked like was all the walls very gross area

I needed the frame welded to pass inspection. This guy told me to bring the truck in Monday and he'd have it done by Friday and it'd be 900$. So Friday goes by and he calls me the Wednesday after talking about he wants me to come in and look at the frame. So when I go there he tells me its going to be 1650 dollars now. And he'd have it done by Friday again. So Friday it still wasn't done it took this guy a month to weld my frame. It's like he had his stupid apprentice kid working on it the whole time. Then he charged me 1462$ for labor. What a rip off. If I had a lift I could have welded a few plates on myself in a few hours. Never take your vehicle there for welding ever unless u wanna get ripped off

I am beyond grateful to Larry for the prompt and quick work he did for me. I had an issue with my 'check engine' light and multiple places were unsure what the issue was. Larry took my car and did a thorough check. He wasn't sure as well and gave me an explanation in simple terms that anyone could understand. He started by doing some basic repairs to eliminate causes and finally he managed to get it sorted! He kept it inexpensive and simple. I appreciate the honesty and dedication he puts into his work. He ensured my car is in-shape to pass the inspections and emissions test, without doing any unnecessary and extra work. He advised me on further work to get done, for which I will definitely be returning.

I was traveling home from Pittsburgh to Long Island New York when my dodge charger 2011 broke down. I had it towed to his shop over the weekend and I can’t explain how THANKFUL I am. To my surprise I saw other dodge chargers 2011 pull up to get serviced the same day. Pretty crazy odds lol. I’m 500 miles from home and this shop did me RIGHT! The owner is such a nice and honest guy. He explained everything in detail and had my car running as quick as possible! I wish I lived closer so he could be my usual. 10/10 would recommend this shop. ( coming from a New Yorker that doesn’t let just anyone touch my car)

Took my 2013 Toyota to Ken Ganley Toyota dealership for a diagnostic since it was vibrating every time I reached 45mh. First they tried to sell me a new car then they told me the torque converter, transmission and muffler all needed replaced with parts and labor costing over $14,000. I took my car to Schade’s on a recommendation. They said having my transmission drained and refilled should most likely fix the problem, if not we could go from there. That’s what I had them do, my car works perfectly fine now; no more vibrations and only cost me a few hundred dollars. Hmmmm, why didn’t the Toyota dealership specializing in my vehicle offer the same type of service? Schade’s could have tried to take advantage of me just like the dealership, but they chose honesty and customer satisfaction; two things very difficult to come by these days. I went back a week later and had breaks and rotors done. Very satisfied customer!!

Didn’t pass an inspection due to a minor issue and was already cutting it a bit close at the end of the month, so I called Schades and they got me in same day and had all the work done 24 hours later. Freaking Fantastic!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! I am a home health nurse, and was a good distance from home when I had some concerns with my car. These guys were exceptionally professional and had me back on the road in no time!

Today was my first time at Schade’s auto rapair. They had my car in and out in no time. Staff are nice, and very professional, great customer service. I will be a returning customer.

I have been going to Schade’s automotive for the last two years. Bill is so accommodating for appts and the service is excellent. I recently had struts put on my Acura TSX. With 157k miles. What a difference it made in how it performs. Very satisfied ! Thanks for the fair pricing and explaining how to keep my car in safe driving condition.

Today was my first time taking my car to Schade’s Auto Repair and I will definitely be taking my car back! Great customer service. Bill was extremely knowledgeable and explained things in detail! My car was done when he said it would be! Couldn’t be happier!

Could not recommend this Auto Repair Company enough! Living all over Pittsburgh, and taking my cars to several companies through out the North and West PGH areas, Schade's far surpasses them all, particularly in their Customer Service. They have a quick/direct approach, and they do a fantastic job of explaining everything very clearly to the customer in a way they can understand. My only wish is that they would have a clearly lit up sign for their business as it's off a busy stretch of route 30, and very hard to find at night, even during the day. Even with that, they have my business for as long as I'm in this area!! Thank you, Bill and the rest of the Schade Team!

Me and my fiancé Britney cannot recommend this shop highly enough. We have been coming here for four years. They have always been honest with us, fair on pricing, and managed to get us in their schedule if there was a sudden issue. They are a great shop with a great team.

We highly recommend Schades Auto Repair in Irwin, PA. This local business has earned our full trust when it comes to keeping our cars safe on the road. We have taken several cars to Schades over the past 10 years and our experience has been consistently outstanding. We appreciate so many things about their service: clear and respectful communication, knowledgeable mechanics, and prices that are INCREDIBLY more reasonable than the dealerships we have used in the past. We will continue to recommend them to friends and family, especially as the prices for service at dealerships continue to soar.

We’ve been going to Schade’s for several years now and have no complaints! Everyone is friendly, honest, and helpful, plus they’re reasonably priced. Can’t ask for much more from an auto shop!

This was my first time having my car at Schades and i was pleasantly surprised at how thorough they were. Before the repair and inspection the took it for a ride, then did the work and then took it out again. That gave me confidence . I will definitely be back. Thank you! C Young

There ARE still honest and reputable auto repair shops around. I'm a retired/disabled veteran with several years of experience as a mechanic. I have taken my vehicle to Schade's twice now to have front wheel bearings replaced and state inspection. They got me in and out quickly and everyone was courteous, respectful, and honest. I will DEFINITELY return if I need any more repairs. Thank you everyone!!!

I can't thank the staff at Schade's Auto Repair enough!!! They are trustworthy, honest and fantastic!! I always feel comfortable with their suggestions and know they are looking out for myself and my vehicle. I highly recommend them for all your auto repair needs!!!

The team at Schade’s auto repair always take care the upmost care of my vehicles. I have taken several cars of mine to this repair shop to have many different work done to them. I have never had an issue with any of their work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable garage.

I'm surprised by the recent negative reviews! I've had different things looked at and repaired here and have always appreciated their honesty and fairness! They will go out of their way to figure out what's wrong and will be honest if they can't find it or if they can't fix it (or if they think the fix wouldn't be worth the time or money). They've referred me to other places when I've needed it/it was out of their hands and told me places to avoid. Sometimes there is a wait to get in, but it's never been more than a few days for me. Glad to have a great shop nearby!

ATTENTION. BEWARE. my daughter got her car fixed at this place. $1000. It still was never fixed they claimed they fixed it then they claimed there was nothing wrong with it. I finally took it to a real mechanic and he told me that the idiots that worked on it did not tighten the bolts to the cradle bar my daughter and her two small kids could have been killed. New mechanic charged me $350 and actually did the job right. He was so disgusted with the job that he told me to call and complain. Well, this is what I’m doing. I would advise everybody to never ever go to this place. I finally had the car fixed and my new mechanic said this guy has to be a total idiot. Do not trust these people with your car. I don’t care how many good reviews you see .

I recommend Schade’s Auto Repair to anyone who is looking for some great mechanics. Bill always takes the time to answer any questions I may have, and provides me with all the options available-from repair to replacement. As a woman, it can be difficult to find mechanics you can trust with your vehicle, so I'm very happy to have been referred to Schade’s! They are reliable, honest and professional.

If you're like me and aren't too knowledgeable about vehicles then I strongly recommend this garage. I never have to worry about being taken advantage of because the staff is honest and trustworthy. They won't keep your vehicle forever either, I always drop off the morning of the appointment and it's ready to be picked up by the time I'm off work . Hands down it's the best garage around !!

Drop my car off the night before, they had it in the shop first thing in the morning and finished by lunch. They’re half the price compared to the dealership and did an amazing job. They were very professional and polite. Will definitely recommend them to anyone! 10/10!

Amazing experience. Honest and thorough evaluation and repair. Very fair cost, and they explain exactly what is the issue (if there is one) and how cost relates. I’ve taken our SUV there, and also been told when repairs were NOT necessary, or less than I expected. Er don’t go anywhere else, and the trek from Pittsburgh is totally worth it!

I have been going to Schade’s since they opened, following them wherever they moved. They are the most honest mechanics I have ever met, they are like going to family. They will tell you a fix is not worth the money and you’re better off getting a new vehicle just as quickly as they will tell you that a repair is a lot of money but worth it. I can honestly say if they go out of business I would only buy new cars and trade the car in when the warranty is over. I have never trusted a mechanic, outside of my dad, like I trust them. My dad even goes to them! Also, if you are a dad and sending your kids somewhere to get their car fixed, change, inspection, or whatever…this is the place! They will treat your kid like their own. No funny business.

I am not a local in the area, but I was thinking of buying a car from a dealership near this shop. I wanted to have the car inspected before buying, I called and they fit me right in the next day. I brought the car in and they did an excellent job thoroughly inspecting the car and gave me a very honest opinion. The gentleman who I directly dealt with was excellent, exceptional and very friendly. The price was extremely reasonable considering the amount of time they took with the car.If I was a local in this area I know where I would take my cars for all maintenance and repairs. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful! I’ve taken my car to them several times now, and they’ve always been quick, kind, and have incredibly reasonable prices. I’ve never felt like they were tricking me into a service I didn’t need. They’re knowledgeable and willing to explain. They’re good about having availabilities, and do quick, work. Could not recommend anyone more!
