My parents have been using Burkes service since they moved to this area over a decade ago. I have to admit, I never understood the need to seek out a personal mechanic in the days of chain-auto-places. But I have to say, Burke has made a true believer of me this Christmas. It all started when a hot temperature gauge came on in my car, on the 21st of December. As if out of habit, I called up my the nearest chain location and asked to be rushed in for service. They took the car and spent a few hours diagnosing it. They charged me 40 dollars for the diagnostic and told me it was a serious engine issue which they said they could do for $2,000-$5,000 dollars. I called the dealer, and they said they would need me to tow the car there ($150 just to touch it plus the $30 towing cost) and then they would still charge me full price for the repair because the car was out of warranty. My dad gave me a third option: he suggested I take it to Burke, he was close by, and he had helped them in the past. After dropping off the car with Burke, I was checking my banking sites at home and figuring out how I could manage to pay the cost of a serious engine repair. I came to the realization that I almost certainly would have to take loans from my parents or siblings. I couldnt bear the thought that I would be accepting gifts at Christmas while delivering none myself, and instead, asking for loans from others. My phone rang, and it was Burke. He had determined the issue was not the engine, had an extremely detailed, but well understood technical explanation as to why it was not a serious issue. He told me he had fixed the issue, and I could pick up the car. My parents were so fond of the good news, my mom packed Burke a Christmas present of treats. On the way to Burkes, my dad and I were trying to determine what he would charge (I was still budgeting at least $200-$300 just to be safe) When we arrived, Burke was sitting in the front of his office area. He was extremely friendly, and he eventually ended our conversation with “feel free to take your car” My immediate response was “whats the damage?” Burke said, to my absolute astonishment, “nothing.” Although the repairs were only minor, he had certainly taken up time doing them. I demanded to pay him something, but he refused any offer I made. I promised to Burke that I would pay him back by becoming a regular customer. Now I know why my parents have been going to him for 10+ years. Burke, you have given me the best Christmas present this year: you have saved me $5,000 and you have shown me kindness beyond what I could have ever expected. Please have a wonderful and safe holiday! I will now be able to see my family this Christmas and afford to give them gifts!!

The knowledge and experience that Burke and his team have really is what makes this business. I came to them after I backed myself into a corner doing some simple DIY work on my car. Usually I am uncomfortable with having anyone else but myself work on my vehicles, not the case here. I spent at least 2 hours during a visit just talking to Burke about some very nerdy details on old Hondas that no one else in their right mind would even care about. He is a true enthusiast and it shows in the quality of the work that they do. After I got my car back I notice little things like them giving me a small sleeve for my reg/insurance cards, and providing a detailed receipt of what was actually done. Many shops estimated around $3,000 in labor alone, accompanied with a degree of uncertainty and an unwillingness to take on the work. Here I felt comfortable that they would be able to do this type of work and that it would be at a fair price, and they did, coming in at just over half of what other shops did, including about $200 in parts and shop materials.

For all you women who are leary of being taken advantage of when your car needs servicing...go to Meyers Automotive...you wont be let down. Burke is honest and down to earth and has never recommended or performed any service that was unnecessary, Ive been taking my car to Meyers Automotive for at least 10 years and have received great service and at an unbeatable price every time. Burkes the Best!

Burke and his staff have always treated us right. We can walk to his shop as it is conveniently located on Hanover St. near the High St. intersection. He does the job right and knows his stuff. He does our regular maintenance and does not do work that he feels is uneccessary thus giving you the best value for your hard earned money. I believe their slogan is "You work hard for your money. So do we."

Honest, great pricing, and he really knows his stuff. Also fast service, Burke and Pat are two great mechanics and Burke is amazing at his craft. He works on all makes and models, and if he knows he will be expensive, he will recommend somewhere that will do it for a cheaper price. I tell anyone I know that if you need a repair or inspection of your vehicle to take it to Burke.

I travel a little less than one hour to have my truck and car serviced by Meyers Automotive. I found Burke through my daughter who lives in the Pottstown area. I am very happy to have peace of mind in knowing i will be treated honestly. If you are looking for a person whose ideals are as high as your own, give Burke a try, you will be very glad you did.

After a half-century of driving, I can state emphatically that taking my cars to Meyers Automotive has been the best of all my "garage" experiences over the years. Not only is Burke technically astute, but he is also "people" astute. Both his work on the cars and his friendly demeanor have been outstanding!

Burke has been working on our cars for over 7 years now dating back to when Meyers Automotive was located at the intersection of RT 100 and RT 23. We have been 100% satisfied with the service we have received and recommend Meyers Automotive to our friends whenever they are looking to have their cars serviced.

Moved into the area a couple of years ago and was referred here. Ill never go to another mechanic. Burke is honest, thorough and responsive. He explains things clearly and never "talks down" to you. Highly recommended!
