Services
Marino's Auto Repair offers quality auto repair services you can count on. Located in South Philadelphia, PA, our experienced team can get you fixed and back on the road in no time. In addition to our other services we offer towing in case your vehicle is not able to make it into the shop. Dependable service comes with a guarantee so our guarantee is a true PARTS and LABOR warranty of quality clearly spelled out on the back of every invoice.
Over time, as oil becomes saturated with contaminants, excess particles are left behind in the engine, where they can form deposits and cause significant wear to the engine. Oversaturated oil loses its lubrication, which will eventually lead to an overworking engine, excess heat, and engine failure.
The state of Pennsylvania requires an annual inspection of all motorcycles. If you are a motorcycle owner, we can make this process a little easier for you. Our staff is here to answer any questions you might have about getting your bike inspected. Marino's Auto Repair is a registered PA state motorcycle inspection center located in South Philadelphia, PA.

Tony is seriously the best! Always honest and fair, and lets you know when a job might be bigger than expected. He always comes through when he says he’ll have the job done. And he is just the nicest guy, too!!

I have been getting my car serviced at Marino's for years, and every time is a 5 star experience. This time My car received fairly extensive service and the people at Marinos tool the time to explain options, and make recommendations. Very knowledgable shop and highly recommended.

Another trip to Marino’s auto repair, and another great experience. My 2009 Hyundai had some strange steering behavior, which was difficult to reproduce, diagnose and resolve. The team at Marinos took their time, to ensure proper disgnoses, and when the job was finished, it was done right. Great people, great shop, once again, highly recommend Marinos.

Great place. They keep it real with you about what needs to be done right away and what can wait. You won't take your car home and then realize the problem wasn't fixed

I wanted to send a special Thank you to Dave and Anthony on the timely and special care done to my father inlaw's car. He has a 2004 Chrysler 300. From the air conditioner that needed a shot of freon to cleaning up a botched wiring repair from another mechanic to the inspection. The price was right and I didn't see any of those tell tale sign of mechanic finger prints after the job was done. They have a new customer.

I have been a customer of Marinos Auto Repair for years. The service is timely, repair estimates are dead on accurate and Anthony, the mechanic, is trustworthy and capable. Marinos is an automobile service center you can rely upon to always get the job done right and on budget.

If you're looking for an honest mechanic in Philadelphia, take your car to Marino's. And make sure you know which Marino's you're going to, because there are several. Go to the one on Bancroft.

I had a warranty that was coming to an end, so I wanted to get any covered repairs taken care of before the warranty expired. Most mechanics won't deal with warranty companies, but Marino's stood up and fought for the claim.

Ultimately, the repair was covered, saving me hundreds of dollars. The other issues the car had were fixed with a little elbow grease, and I didn&apos

Pennsylvania state inspection is a hassle, bringing your car to Marino's isn't. Called earlier today, drove over and dropped my car off. Couple hours later the car is done and I can be glad the ridiculous indirect tax from Harrisburg is paid for another year.

Guys at the shop were quick, courteous and did exactly what they said they would. Glad to know there is a good mechanic shop in my neighborhood... I will be back for sure.

Update: Been coming here with my motorcycles for two+ years now. This shop performs consistently every single time. Fast turnaround, fair pricing, pleasant people. I'm a business exec who is very fussy about how I run my business--and I always appreciate it when I seeing someone else doing business the right way. These guys do that.

Had my inspection and some repairs done here a few months ago. It was fine - nothing wrong with the quality of the repairs - but I honestly don't get the high reviews for friendliness and helpfulness. When I dropped off, the guy taking my car was late opening the shop up (meaning I was late to work) and grumpy as anything. When I picked up, the guy I paid wasn't the one who did the work, and he had no real details about what was actually wrong with the brakes ("they were worn" isn't that detailed) and was more interested in getting back to his conversation than helping

My visit was 25% having my motorcycle inspected and 75% getting to know Dave, Anthony and a few of the regulars. The guys who work here are knowledgeable, easy going, and do a great job. I will be back for sure.

My husband & I have been using Marino's for years. They are very honest so you can trust them when they say something is wrong. They are the best & I would never think of changing. Either would friends of mine who have been using them.

When I think of Marino's a lot of words come to mind, but the best one is WOW...I was always reluctant to take my car to the shop because I knew it was always going to be something major and expensive, even if it was just for routine maintenance. However Dave and his team are not only the best, but they are honest and fair. His rates are fair, the service is excellence, and they make it happen. If all my service agents were this good my life would be one of utopia.

Marino's is owned by a guy named Dave. You might have heard of him, a few years ago he staged a protest against Sunoco's gas price hike by giving gas away for free at his old Sunoco station.

Dave hired me to shoot some documentary footage about his story, and we became pals. After closing his gas station (the subject of the documentary), he re-opened the repair shop here.

I still go to Marino's now, even though they're pretty far from my house. Not only because of Dave, but because the guys that work there are total professionals. Anthony is always smart, very nice
