State College Auto Repair

Quick appointment setup date from initial contact (all online). Work started on time, in and out in an hour and a half. Parts installed (repair door handles on front of truck both sides) new handles work great - better than when I purchased it used from a dealer. Very satisfied with work.

Car broke down 5 1/2 hours from home on a Sunday. Karch was suggested by tow truck driver, left it there and called on Monday morning, Tanner was great to work with over the phone and the staff of mechanics diagnosed and made the necessary repairs with no added suggested repairs or pressure tactics like some auto repair shops do - they had it repaired and we went back to get it on Wednesday. Hats off and a huge thank you to Karch!

Overpriced, I paid $214 plus and received a very subpar detail. I received a Full-Service Interior which includes a FULL CLEANING of all surface areas inside the vehicle, which appeared to actually only be a quick wipe down. My expectation of this service was to clean harder to get areas. Secondly I received a Superior Exterior, which was VERY UNSATISFACTORY, there was still a splattered bugs on the hood, not to mention the dirt on rubber pieces, along the roof, on both sides. Hard plastic areas still had large areas of wax on them. I dropped my vehicle off at 8:30 am, returned at 4:00 pm and had to wait for the gentleman, as he was still working. My vehicle was their for 8 plus hours and I received a 2 hour job. Defiantly would not recommend.

Always quick turn-around, with great service. Tanner is always helpful and explains everything!

I have been getting my 2 litre 2002 Ford Focus serviced at Karch for the last year. I took it in to have a routine oil change and to have my breaks checked as I was experiencing some sticking. I didn't expect anything major. However, I had to have my entire rear break drum assembly replaced and the team was able to get the parts, do the repairs, and get me back on the road, On the Same Day! I highly recommend them. Great work. Great team. It is hard to find a garage with reasonable prices that does outstanding work. Karch has done some extensive work on my little car and I am happy to say that I will continue to use them for maintaining my daily driver. Thanks again. CD

We brought a 1995 Toyota Avalon in for service and inspection. The staff at Karch provided expert service and advice regarding where to find parts and how to keep the car running for years to come. We have used Karch for sixteen years and trust them to care for our newer cars too. We regularly recommend Karch to others for auto care because our experiences have been very positive.

I trust Tanner and Karch to make the best recommendations and to execute with the highest level of technical expertise. Karch provides me with peace of mind.

Tanner was amazing when my sons' check engine light came on. AAA towed the car there and I was able to get a great estimate the same day. The garage is close to campus so the boys could walk to get the car when it was done. Found a mechanic for them while at school!

Every time I have been to Karch Auto, they have been very easy to deal with, have never recommended any service that was unnecessary and their prices have always been very fair. Please give these guys a try rather than using the big chain service stations!

Very very pleased and I've worked with them off and on for probably 20 years or more.
