Recommended by costco auto program. Got fast and on-time service. Price is reasonable and I didn’t feel something like “try to sell” at all. Staff are friendly and give quite honest advice. Would recommend for anyone.
My mechanic recently closed up shop and let’s just say I was very apprehensive about any new place I chose. John and everyone at Welsh was super nice and helpful and made you feel comfortable right off the bat. Everything went seamless and I will for sure be back. An added bonus: attached to my paperwork in the car was a scratch off lottery card lol….it’s the little things that count and it was a cute surprise!
Another good experience on 10/26 - inspection service completed. On time as promised and priced as promised. Its easy to provide good service once or twice, Ive been here about 4 to 5 times recently and they do a great job and charge appropriately 100%. Keep it up! Thanks John and Shawn! Youll see me next month for an oil change on my other car.
Amazing experience!! Everyone was very friendly and highly skilled. They are honest and do everything to help out the customer. Went there for inspection which was performed swiftly. Issue with tires that came up was explained thoroughly and I was given options for resolution without any pushy sales etc. Comparing all my options independently, turned out getting tires through them (their partners) was the best option. John helped me with a great set of tires, and at a great price. New install and checks were performed as soon as possible and I was able to drive out without unnecessary delay.If you are looking for dependable, trusted professionals, and a peace of mind experience, I highly recommend this place.
As an older single woman I’m always so apprehensive when I bring my car in for any kind of work. I have to say I was treated with such respect and honesty at Welsh. From my very first online inquiry to walking out the door with keys in hand I am so pleased with their customer service. I needed an inspection and oil change. My car was given a thorough inspection and came out pretty clear of issues. There was a nail in a tire causing a slow leak that was plugged at n/c. Everything was done fairly quickly while I waited in their very comfortable (and clean!) waiting area. I truly couldn’t be more pleased with the service and very nice way I was treated! Thank you so much John and Michael. Yours is a 5 STAR business! Joan Cullen
Two thumbs up for Welsh Automative! These guys have been great every time weve brought a car in. We started about a year ago with our 1980 Firebird and now we take two of our other cars in as well. Great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff (Johns the best!), and we know we are getting a fair price for the work. Highly recommend this family owned business!
Dropped off tires for my car on Wednesday, 9/15/21 in preparation for the state emission and inspection performed on Thursday, 9/16/21. The staff greeted me upon my arrival and their Technician Donald did a phenomenal job on my vehicle. He even took it upon himself to shine my tires prior to completion. John is also very thorough and professional. Great job team! Thank you for your awesome services.
Professional, prompt, and courteous from start to finish! Took care of my yearly safety inspection and oil change, installed an air filter I provided, plus, they looked at a potential A/C leak at no additional charge! Definitely will be using their services again! Highly recommend! Thank you John and Shawn for taking such great care of my old car!!
We are new customers to Welsh Automotive. A larger hitch was needed on our Honda to carry heavier electric bikes and rack. Job was completed in an hour! We were thrilled. We have since had the car serviced for brakes and an oil change . Again, everything was performed promptly. John even had a bulb replaced in a broken running light at no extra charge and explained what was needed for a future inspection. He and his crew are an exceptional team to work with. We will be back again.
John and the Welsh Automotive team are professional, prompt, and go above and beyond for their customers! I have been going here since it changed over to Welsh and I have been thrilled with the service every time. When I need to get in quickly for an issue with my car, they have been able to fit me in quickly every time! In addition, they will let me know if anything else is looking like it should be replaced soon, but they do NOT pressure me to have the work done. I really feel that John and his team care about getting the job done right. Another plus- you can book a “rental” car from them if you need work done but still need to be able to get around- so convenient. :)
John and team were efficient, fair, and effective at their job. I was very impressed by the level of professionalism displayed at the shop, and as a new resident of the state, I would highly recommend these guys. It’s tough to get a fair shake in this industry, but Welsh does it right. 5 stars across the board.
Welsh Automotive always gives reliable, friendly, and fair service. My husband and I have been bringing our cars to Welsh for a few years now after being taken advantage of at a local Subaru dealer. Welsh always discusses our options before starting any repairs. They give us the lowest-cost version, but also a few others to ensure our expectations are met. They are trust-worthy and dependable.
I went here for the first time for my annual inspection and they were great. I asked for my car to be done by lunch time and it was finished well in advance of that. They didn’t try and upsell me on unnecessary repairs at all which is surprising because I have a 2009 car. The prices were great! Will definitely be back in the future.
I am an extremely satisfied customer and have been from the very first time. I have taken my Jeep to Welsh for the standard visits, but they always take note of my WHOLE car...I love that. John is an OUTSTANDING employee. His passion about what he does and care for the customers exudes in his every interaction. He always makes every visit that much better. Welsh Automotive Specialties is a great company, with authentic values and impressive standards. It is so refreshing to see that a company like this still exists and I feel fortunate to be a customer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
As always Welsh gives great service. They are professional and honest. Fair prices. Very accommodating. Clean and efficient work
Great experience at Welsh Automotive. They have earned me as a loyal customer! My car malfunctioned in the Giant parking lot. We were able to jump it and drove it right over to Welsh. They fit me in without an appointment and were able to quickly diagnose and repair the car. Truly kind and professional service and I highly recommend!!
Excellent experience! John was so kind and professional—squeezed me in to get the job done and I really appreciated it. Let me know I’ll need new tires soon, but didn’t pressure me to do it today. Accommodating, prompt and honest. I will definitely be scheduling those tires here soon!
Great experience! I’ve taken two cars so far and couldn’t be more satisfied. Everything went very smooth, John explained the details of the work needed and everyone was very professional throughout the process. They are very honest, and don’t ask for any repairs unless it’s necessary.
Welsh Automotive was very quick and friendly. We dropped our car of the night before our appointment for the state inspection. They completed the work the next morning and called to tell us the car was ready. Thanks Welsh Automotive!
Had a positive experience with them. Work was done quickly and at a fair price. They were informative and professional. I would take my vehicle there again.
I bought an older used car and John was fantastic in helping me get a few issues sorted. The car has been sitting since January 2021 and needed some routine maintenance, inspection, as well as figuring out what was going on with the odometer light. Turns out the entire cluster panel needed to be replaced and that was required to pass inspection. John was able to find a used cluster panel within my budget and answered all my questions prior to having him do the work. I have to say that he was really patient with me, answered my MANY calls over the last week with total professionalism and was just a nice guy to work with overall. The car has some additional work that will need done and I will for sure be using Welsh automotive again.
Always a great experience when taking my car here abs never feel like I am being ‘sold’ to get something extra taken care of that isn’t necessary. Always informed of the status and what they did during the visit. The best part is the lotto ticket they give when you pay!
John was very professional right from the start. He emailed a competitive price for the repair and walked me through everything that would be done. He kept me informed throughout the process and also helped me with a loaner car. The repairs were completed on time and as described. Highly satisfied and I will be using them again for my other cars.
First time using Welsh. I was recommended by a friend. I thought I needed ball joints but only needed my tires balanced. They are very honest and proffessional. I will definitely be using them again and will recommend them to my friends.
I took my Ford Explorer here for the first time, and I could not be happier. They were very helpful with the car drop off, very pleasant to speak to, everything was explained well, and most of all the service was perfect. I will definitely return here for any future car needs!
Could not be more pleased - I traded in my lease car and bought a used Toyota with 120,000 miles - after Welsh automotive got done with the inspection and repairs it runs like new! Super pleased with their service, friendly, efficient and very fairly priced for all that I had done - have found my new repair shop for sure!
Honest, Comparable in Price, and CompetentI am what you call a wandering customer. I would not have one automotive garage, but go where ever that is closest or convenient. My workplace has been using Welsh for years now, so I finally decided to take my car there.It took me 3 of my cars and probably 4 trips to this mechanic for me to write this review. Part of my lack of commitment to a certain one shop is because I have been burned by other car garages. But I can say that the people at Welsh is first of all honest. They will recommend, but will not push it or say it in a way that it needed to be done.My 4 trips were all minor issues: Annual inspections, oil change, tire rotations, checking for a flat tire (which they spent the time taking my tire off and inspecting to see nothing wrong-they did not charge anything for that service).Overall, I see why my workplace has switched from a chain car garage to Welsh, and I will now frequently visit them now.
I have had multiple positive experiences with Welsh of West Chester. They are thorough, knowledgeable, and timely. They maintain contact with you throughout the process and discuss why for additional repairs, if recommended.
All very professional and nice people. My girlfriend and I both take our cars and its been very positive every time we come in. This is not a place that feels like they just want your money like some mechanics Ive been to. The free scratch off with every visit is a nice little bonus!
Coming from a 3 generation auto mechanic family I had never had to take my vehicles to another automotive shop until my brother retired. Im very happy with the service that have been performed on my vehicles at Welsh Automotive in West Chester. John and the staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and service has been great and reasonable. Happy with taking my vehicles there.
Recently started to use Welshs instead of my car dealer and have not been disappointed. This last time I came in for state inspection and oil change. They patiently listened to my car concerns and addressed all. I waited for my car and was asked more than once if I was comfortable. Very polite and considerate staff!
This is my first time at Welsh Automotive and couldn’t be more impressed. Easy scheduling, fast and professional service, and a comfortable waiting area. I would highly recommend Welsh Automotive to anyone looking for top quality service.
So glad I found this gem! Trustworthy and personable...love that its a family-owned and operated business with direct contact from the owner. I brought our vehicle in for inspection and they didnt try to sell anything! And they have available loaner cars which makes dropping off your vehicle for the day so much less inconvenient.
I’ve heard good things about Welsh automotive so I tried them out for an inspection and I wasn’t disappointed. They did not try to make up things to fix and were honest about the condition of the truck. I was very pleased and will definitely going back. Thank you
Its our first time using Welsh Auto and I must say I was very impressed!! John was thorough in setting up couple of appointments and the emissions/inspections were done fine and on time. They also fixed a low-battery in my key fob which was fabulous. They also have courtesy rentals if required. They are very courteous and they pamper their customers. We will definitely be going here for all our future car care needs.
Welch automotive went out of their way to schedule me in for a vehicle inspection while I was out of town and visiting in the area. They did not have to do that and John did his best to accommodate me. I was very pleased and will come back when I am in the area again.
We are extremely satisfied with Welsh Automotive West Chester service provided yesterday. We felt that John was very personal, professional and upfront with expectations and cost. We were able to utilize the after hours drop off process, receive timely communicated updates on progress and retrieve our repaired car/settle our bill per expectations. We will be bringing our second vehicle to John for any future maintenance/services needs! Sorry to our local dealership about moving our business to Welsh, but integrity, upfront dialogue, best in class mechanics and very reasonable pricing are attributes that are hard to replicate.
I am so appreciative of the honesty from Welsh Automotive. A major dealership would not pass inspection on my car and I would have to pay $$$$ for repairs in order to do so. My gut told me to get a second opinion. Sure glad I did as Welsh Automotive reported my car was passable for inspection and the things the dealership wanted repaired should have been given as information to get done in the future. Thank you Welsh Automotive!
The Welsh staff diagnosed and repaired an issue that Ive been trying to get fixed for two years - including a visit to the dealership!Sean and John are great in the office and the free loaner car seals the deal. This the only place Ill use going forward!
This was my first time using Welsh. Shawn was so helpful. They provided me with a loaner car for the day at no cost. This made things so much easier for me. They are professional and organized. He also applied a coupon to my invoice!! I will be using them in the future!! Christine
I have been a customer at Welsh Automotive Specialties for over a year and I keep coming back because they are honest, professional and cordial. I can always get an appointment quickly. And I even get a loaner car!I feel confident that my Audi is getting the finest care at Welsh Automotive.They truly deserve a 5 Star rating!
Was able to jump start the dead battery in my car. Called these kind folks about getting it replaced. As it happened, they had my type of battery in stock. Stopped by there a while later and they were nice enough to replace it on the spot. I was on my way again a few short minutes later.Have also used them for my state inspection as well as tire rotation/balancing in the past. They are always professional with on time completion. Totally reliable!
I had my first experience with Welsh Automotive last week. I received very prompt professional service at a fair price. It was a pleasure to work with people you can trust. I will definitely use them again.Scott Shafer
These guys rock. They were very helpful with my car and very inexpensive. I would recommend them to anyone
As always, the guys at Welsh are friendly and honest with you. I’ve only ever had great experiences here, it’s definitely the best shop in the area. Highly recommend - you also get a free scratch off at checkout!
Welsh Auto Group was amazing and professional. I got a great deal for state inspection and emissions and they went above and beyond standard service. They gave me a loaner vehicle, plugged my tire at no cost, and replaced my cabin filter without charging for labor. I am new to the area and am so happy I found them for all of my auto needs moving forward. Highly recommend and John was really helpful!
I responded to a mailer to neighbors since we live close by to Welshs. It was for discounts on state inspection and oil change and since their location is within walking distance to my house I decided to give them a try. It turned out I needed new tires, which John, the person who deals with you, obtained. He got me a good set of Yokohama tires for a decent price. They were able to get everything done, including checking my alignment and replacing my fob battery, in one day. John was friendly, helpful, and briefed me on things I wanted to know. Im impressed with the reborn Wileys Automotive.
Easy to schedule. Professional and courteous service and delivered as promised.
First time at Welsh and I will definitely be back! They are running a really good special on inspections / emissions this month and I’m so glad I saw their ad and decided to call. The people were so nice and their kindness really went a long way. I am definitely making Welsh my go-to from now on!
We always use the Exton because it’s closer and we get excellent service there as well. I needed a pre purchase inspection of a car we’re trying and I needed it same day . Exton was booked solid so I called the West Chester branch and John was able to squeeze us in and he didn’t even charge me. Both locations give excellent service.! Highly recommend!
Cannot say enough good things about this place! GENUINE, honest, respectful, efficient and top notch! I have a cargo van for my business that I bring here for service schedules and for any emergency. I am always treated kindly and taken care of within hours or the very next day. Truly professional and outstanding. Very clean waiting area. Love the lottery ticket with every visit. They are such a stand-up company and it shows! They also contribute to helping small businesses and show their support any way they can. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Shout out to John for being awesome, knowledgeable and just good at what he does.
Was in a real bind with a dead battery at the end of the day no less. John went above and beyond to help and really saved us from a bad situation. Were grateful for such a great auto shop so conveniently located.
I’ve had excellent experiences thus far at Welsh’s. John is always kind & courteous & before any additional services are needed, I received a call to check if/when I will be having repairs done. I will continue having my car serviced here in the future. Highly recommended!
It can be difficult to find a mechanic you can trust. Thankfully Welsh Automotive fits the bill. John was friendly, up-front, and communicated well. I really appreciated the complimentary loaner car. I wont take my car anywhere else for service.
Very professional, trustworthy, and friendly. Service was fairly priced and completed promptly. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
I was recommened to Welsh Automotive by coworkers and am very grateful. Ive used many other auto mechanics, some who exaggerate or lie to bump up the profit, some who do subpar work, some who are rude, etc. Welsh is excels in all areas...professional, friendly, open, honest, fair prices, etc. Will never go anywhere else and have recommended to my son, daughter, nephew, and others in the Exton and West Chester area.
Went to get my Acura MDX serviced; once I arrived I was greeted by Mr. John. He was pleasant and explained everything as I waited. He was able to get my AC blowing cold and let me know that they put a dye in just to see if there was any leaks if my AC stop blowing cold. I was out of the shop in less than one hour. The prices are reasonable and they give you a lottery ticket every time you come in for service!! I am always pleased when I get my cars serviced here. Give them a try and be pleasantly surprised by their work and professionalism.
Wow!Just returned from getting my first service on my 2018 Honda CR-V at Welsh Automotive. My fiancé took her 2008 Volvo station wagon there for service a month ago and was very happy with the experience, including the cost.So I figured I would give it a try. I first called my Honda dealer to find out what the 15,000 mile service would cost and was told about $200. I took the list of Honda maintenance items to Welsh. John, the service manager, said they would take care of it and offered to do a state inspection too, and apply a $25 coupon to reduce the cost of the inspection.Bottom line: my CR-V now has a new inspection and the 15,000 mile maintenance is done. They did the work on time. They are professional and polite. And I saved a ton of money. (And, as a bonus, their location on Downingtown Pike near the Giant puts them about 3 miles from my home).So Welsh now has two new, satisfied customers!
I have finally found the best automotive repair shop! John at Welsh Automotive is so knowledgeable and HONEST. The team of mechanics work fast and efficiently. I have just recently started going to them for all of my family’s car service. (4 cars) The waiting area is clean and comfortable. I am very very pleased with the service and will be referring them to my friends and family. Even though I have to drive 25 minutes to get there, it is well worth it. I don’t stress going and I leave happy.
Excellent job done at a reasonable price. Welsh also ran down Vrederstein tires which is a relatively rare brand.
One of the things that really impressed me about Welsh Automotive is that I actually spoke to the owner about the repairs my car needed. He provided me with a date and time slot that accommodated my schedule. The repairs were completed in a professional and timely way. I have a 5 year old Honda CRV that Id like to drive for many more miles. I feel confident that Welsh Automotive is making my goal their priority.
Always a pleasure to do business with these guys...very fair & honest.
This is the second time Ive used Welsh and will definitely keep bringing my cars here. They are quick, reliable and good value for the money.
The folks at Welsh were able to get a specialty battery for me the same day and get me back on the road. They are precise and efficient. They know who you are when you walk in the door and what car you have.
Amazing customer service that assists you on any car problems you have. Any car related issues I have, I always go here. John is very kind and professional. emissions/inspections were done fine and on time. I would recommend this place for everyone.
Great work and awesome customer service!
Easy and super friendly. Pricing was fair and I was in and out within an hour. Highly recommend!
I have been a long time Wileys customer and the transition to Welsh Automotive has been seamless. I still receive the same quality care and professionalism that I have been experiencing for years. I have an older car with over 134 thousand miles on it and they have kept it running great! John is always very friendly and provides wonderful customer service!
Thats my 1999 Ford Explorer that I love. Wileys Car Care cares as much about Old Green...(I named her)...as I do. Thats rare these days in the automotive service field...In business since 1913 and family owned and operated in the same area of Chester county...Any business that specializes in one type of business offerings as Wileys does...and has been around for that long has to be GOOD! Im still happy, damn it!My computer isnt co-operating today...May 1st, 2019 my second visit to Wileys Automotive to get a few of her seals replaced...which were either leaking,...or on the verge of doing so. Old Green is now back in her driveway and all better! The service level of Wileys both in workmanship and customer service is tops. Im still happy, damn it! :)!
The customer service at Welsh Automotive is excellent! We are new to town and feel so lucky we found a mechanic shop we can trust. We couldnt be happier with the service we received (state inspection & oil change). We will definitely be coming back.
Very accommodating and friendly. It’s hard to find an honest and trustworthy mechanic. I appreciate the respect and especially not trying to up sell me. The waiting area is clean and comfortable.
Had two cars in for State Inspection. Appointment process was very easy and after filling out online I got a prompt call to confirm. Took the cars exactly at the scheduled time and were done exactly at the time estimed. I appreciate the professionalism and super clean and comfortable waiting area. I will definitely choose them for other work needed.
Pa inspection emissions John was great all done same day with Welsh Auto coupon NICE! Back again for oil filter and tire rotation, they also did visual check all brakes, on time, great value very professional! Highly Recommend!
They always take care of me there. Even if I just have a question. John honest and lets me know Whether I need the repair done right away or not.
This place is awesome! They were professional and on time! They have great prices and even have free windshield wipers for my inspection!
John was very professional and let me know if my car would need anything to pass future inspections. very well maintained and honest shop
Took my car in for a state inspection and they applied the coupon to my order at checkout after fitting me in the same day. Really good service here, super friendly and super welcoming for people that dont know much about cars. Definitely will be back in a few weeks to get my oil changed!
Great and quick service, and reasonable prices. Definitely will be back.
Ive used Welsch for many years. Always happy with their service. Very friendly and affordable.
After having difficulty getting a specific repair done at two separate Lexus service departments, I tried to find an automotive service company in the West Chester Pennsylvania area. I visited several other repair businesses but didn’t get encouraging answers from them either.Frustrated, but not deterred, I found Welsh Automotive Specialties.Not only were they able to do what to Lexus dealer service department said was not possible, they saved me a great deal of money by restoring parts that I was told could not be restored. This saved me the cost of having to replace those parts which, were quite expensive.I am so impressed with this business and the people who work there. I very highly recommend Welsh Automotive specialties !!
Had an oil leak taken care of today by Welsh Automotive. They were more than flexible squeezing the job in and had it done professionally by the end of the day. Even went the extra mile and washed the oil off the outside of the car.
It’s hard these days to find a reputable and trusted mechanic. Shawn and his team are great! They do what’s best for the customer and go above and beyond. Great customer service. John was very helpful and friendly as well as Shawn
Went in for a oil change and inspection they are super affordable, quick, and honest . Everything you would want from a shop !
Very positive experience. Reasonable rate. Will be back!
A first time Customer, I was treated with amazing courtesy and patience. Mr. John made me feel safe and even worked with me on some of the repairs. FINALLY, Ive found my home mechanic. I cant say enough about this excellent auto business.
John has worked on my vehicles for as long as I can remember and has always given me great work and honest feedback. I love that Welsh always fits me in and gets me in & out. Top quality work is hard to find and they always produce as well as go above and beyond. I appreciate being told what my vehicle needs now and what it will need at my next visit. I would recommend Welsh and John to anyone!
Great service, very friendly, efficient service. First time there, and we will definitely be using them.
Phenomenal service. John was an excellent help in getting me the best deal for the best price and best time. I had to wait there for about 2 hours, but was able to recline in a lazy boy in the most comfortable waiting room I’ve ever been in. After I got amazing discounts and deals, I got a scratch off for choosing his business! A fun and wholesome tradition to make each visit a chance to get some cash too! Will absolutely be regularly using this service. Wish i could give 6 stars!
Welsh Automotive is a wonderful place to have your car serviced. Ive taken multiple vehicles to both their Exton and West Chester locations and every time they take the time to listen to your concerns and are honest and up front about what will need done. Shawn and the team are doing the right things to earn your trust and build their business at the same time. Thanks Welsh!
The staff was very friendly. Give me alot of information on my pre-purchase vehicle after they inspected it for free.most dealerships charges for that. This place will definitely be my go to place.
Did a good job explaining all the stuff that my car needed and answered all my questions.
Ive used a lot of shops and they give the best explanation for repairs needed. I also like being given a lottery ticket for each bill paid. Thanks!
We have been using the Welsh team for last 5 years and I would never take any of my cars anywhere else. They are the most honest and trustworthy mechanics in the area.
I had mistakenly thought I should take my newer vehicle to the car dealership. They had recommended a number of services which would have been very costly. I called Welsh Automotive to get a 2nd opinion because they service my older vehicle. They determined that none of the recommended services were not needed and did not charge me for any of the work. I recommend taking all your vehicles here and only going to the dealership for recall items. They have always been very honest and have done a great job.
Their work came in below what I was quoted, and the car runs like new! What more could you ask for?
I rarely write reviews but this is the second review for Welsh Auto. Once again they delivered searching for an elusive squeak under the hood. Found the problem, fixed it and came in under the estimated cost. Thanks to all involved. Highly recommend.
Professional, trustworthy service, use of loaner car, and nice to work with.
