I was sitting in the customer waiting area this morning while my car was being serviced. While waiting, I was somewhat annoyed by the sprinkling of profane language that I heard from one of the staff in the intake area in particular. He was loud & did not filter his base expressions very carefully. I found it to be exceedingly unprofessional, disrespectful, and rather immature. Most of all, it was unnecessary. Even within service industries, of course, it is critical that the service delivery per se is excellent. I don't have any complaints about that or any of the other people who were

This business is my go to whenever I need tires for any of my cars. I have always gotten a great deal. A blowout brought me in this time and unfortunately all 4 tires needed replacement. The service writer for my situation was P. J. the assistant manager. He was able to get the tires and arrange an appointment for the installation that didn't interfere with my attendance at work. I have always and will continue to recommend Fitzgerald's to all who ask me for tire service as well as any other automotive needs.

My husband and I have been going to Fitzgerald's since 2018. They are THE BEST. They always seem to be able to squeeze us in, are very clear about what's needed and the cost, and they're all very kind. I find them to be incredibly trustworthy... they are always trying to watch out for our bottom line and help where they can. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

Went in there this morning, stressed about needing tires and not having the money in the budget for it. Not only did they help find a solution, but they kept it within my budget and had it done same day. These guys are great, and everyone was very friendly! I will definitely go back, and I highly recommend them.

HONEST. Professional. Very skilled. Patient. My car is complicated. Hybrid. They did not give up in getting to the bottom of the problem even when it meant sending a part back and reducing the bill. They have a great reputation so they are busy. I went to meineke and they told me i needed catalytic converter and evap hoses. Fitzgeralds inspected car and said i did not. There are alot of dishonest businrsses but fitzgeralds is very honest. PK is the best

This originations reputation is as good as it's service, great honest work. After I delivered my vehicle to Chapman Chrysler Dodge & Jeep for service, their advice was to replace my drive shaft for a new one. For whatever reason, my warranty company would not replace it because they said I must have tampered with it. I had no idea what Chapman nor the warranty company was speaking about. I've never even replaced the oil in the car by myself. The service writer at Chapman also exclaimed, "you must have over torque the draft shaft." Listen, I have no business trying to

I have been coming here for 2 years now. Started from when my car had an issue that FIRESTONE said was about 3 different problems with my car and I wanted a second opinion. Fitzgeralds said it was just 1 issue and they fixed my car in no time. Since then I've been coming back to get my car inspected which is also done very quickly

Fitzgerald tire and auto is a very professional, talented and trustworthy establishment. I discovered them a couple of years ago and they have never disappointed me and I will use them forever. The employees go above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. On my last visit I wasn't able to pick up my car until 5:30 but they close at 5 so Kevin waited around for me to arrive after hours. I HIGHLY recommend taking your car to Fitzgerald's, they won't disappoint you.

I have used Fitzgerald's for about three years now. They're always friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. They offered a range of options when it came to buying new tires and didn't pressure me to buy or than I needed. Fitzgerald's is no longer the most convenient option for me as I have moved out of Glenside, but I still go out of my way for the quality service.

Very affordable, accepts walk-ins, very friendly and welcoming and they keep it straight up. I have been going here for approximately one year. One time when my tire had a flat I took it to my dealer and they tried to charge me for a whole new tire. I took it to Fitz and they filled the hole. Tire has been fine for going on 6 months. What I like the most about Fitz is they're really nice and friendly people. Some auto places are not so nice customer service wise but these guys are great.

These guys are great. I have absolutely no complaints about this place. Their work is fantastic, thorough, honest and well priced. Due to the nature of my business, I am on the road all the time...so I have taken my car to Fitzgerald's for just about everything imaginable. This is the only auto mechanic/garage that actually told me that I didn't need work that I thought was necessary.
If you seek a mechanic for any reason, I highly recommend you give Fitzgerald's a try.
As others have mentioned, they are busy. Its rare to get service without an appointment. If your car needs

Why do the car gods detest me? Why is it that when you need a tire, all of the other tires decide that they will miss their friend and commit a sucide pact? All four tires at once. UGH! My father-in-law was a mechanic at GM for 40 years and loves to research the best and least expensive options for everything. I swear the man was on the phone for a week.
After all of his hard work, he said Fitzgeralds was the best in price. We went to get the tires- Greg Paton is the BEST mechanic ever. honest to a fault and really just so nice. I have never left anywhere for car issues happy until now

I actually found this place on yelp. Had a flat tire to get fixed and didn't know of any places by me. My husband called because I read a review about it being busy (thanks! good tip) and they were able to take the car that day.
They did a fantastic job. Service was fast (It was just a tire I know, but still) and they were super friendly and professional. Service was excellent.

I have been here once and got excellent service. They can fix any problem in any car. highly recommended. Here are pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Very professional staff. No messing around. They tell you as it is.
2. Got my prior approval before starting the repairs (after they figured out the exact problem).
Cons:
1. They are VERY VERY busy. Appointments needed way in advance. (like 2-5 days). Dont even think of oil-change...they may do that stuff, but you will have to wait like 2 days to get it done!! (unless you got an appointment, then maybe...)
On the contrary, being a busy place means they are
