I had the same experience as Joe Pinckney. Pennick kept the car for 8 weeks and never completed the necessary work even though he said he did. My car is an MGB. He said my car is “just for fun” and not a priority. He claims to be the local Triumph expert. Figure that one out.
This is the type of mechanic shop you want. I have been taking my vehicles to bj for years! Even now, eventhough it's an hour drive! I never feel like hes taking advantage of me or my wife. Sometimes he takes a little longer than expected but it's well worth it because he is usually trying to find a better price for what your car needs.
Update- At the 9 year mark and still have no intentions of going any place else!
if you don’t mind dropping your car off and then not seeing it again for a few months(best case scenario) and getting continuous lies about the progress of your car,that you’ve already paid for, then this is the place for you! what a complete joke. go ANYWHERE but here
BJ and staff are knowledgeable, professional, friendly and VERY accommodating. I found a GREAT mechanic. Thank you all, and thank you birdie for introducing them to me. Marchel
I drove from Glenville PA because Pennick was highly recommended by two coworkers. BJ replaced the fuel pump in my suburban. I needed the vehicle right away and he completed the repair within two days of me contacting him. It was very much appreciated.
When he had the gas tank out, he noticed that the bolts were lose on a crossmember and he tightened them. My rattle is now gone. Bonus!
I had a good idea of what the repair should cost before I dropped the vehicle off (I checked with other garages) and I was charged at the low end of the range that I was expecting. So I believed I got excellent service for a very fair price.
I will certainly return when I need future repairs.
Pennick Automotive has the most experienced, knowledgeable owner and mechanic you can find in this area. They are thorough, skilled, hard working and open 6 days a week.
Zero stars....Absolute Joke! Do not even waste your time with these people. Had my truck literally for months, for the first 2 months every time I called for an update I got "it'll be done in 1 week, right on schedule, wait for my call" by month 3 they went ghost completely called several times a day and left messages and never received a single call back. Finally after months of waiting I arrived unannounced today to find the truck had not even been touched... I mean not at all...they hadn't even looked at it. I was met with a thousand excuses and then this idiot tells me again while I'm standing in front of a truck that has clearly not been touched that it'll be done in a week (honest to God folks, you can't make this stuff up). This place is an absolute joke and is all about how NOT to do business.
If you want an honest and professional mechanic, look no further. My family and I have been going here for well over 10 years. They will keep your vehicles running without breaking the bank. I live in Philadelphia and gladly make the trip to Dillsburg whenever I need major work done.
