I am so impressed with the helpfulness of the staff, from the very first phone call through picking up my car after they fixed it!! I will happily drive across the county to have them service my vehicles!!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Sara! We’re so glad to hear that our team made the whole experience easy from start to finish. It means a lot to know you felt well taken care of and that you’d be willing to drive across the county to see us again. We truly appreciate your trust in Harrell Automotive and look forward to helping keep your vehicles running their best.

We had a big transmission repair on our Jeep Cherokee last year, and Chris from Harrell Automotive walked with us through the whole process of finding a difficult to source part, getting it shipped in and installed as quickly as possible. Very communicative through that whole process. Chris also took great care of us with a recent tire patch & oil change, getting us in and out in just a few hours. He is a true professional, and Harrell's is where we will go for any and all of our repair needs!
Response from the owner:We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It means a lot to hear that Chris was able to guide you through such a major repair on your Jeep Cherokee and keep you updated along the way—especially when sourcing parts and getting everything installed as quickly as possible takes so much coordination. It’s also great to know Chris took good care of you on the tire patch and oil change, too. That kind of consistency is exactly what we aim for at Harrell Automotive. Thanks again for trusting us with your vehicle, and we’re glad we could help keep things moving smoothly for you.

My partner and I were in Erie on a mini vacation when the starter on our car died. Being from out of town, we had no idea where to have our car towed. We needed it done asap, but didn’t want to be charged an inflated cost due to our predicament. Two different people from the hotel, as well as the tow truck driver, recommended Harrells. Beginning with a few conversations we had with them on the phone to get an estimate, to having our car towed there and the work completed in one day- We couldn’t have been more pleased! They were empathetic, patient, friendly and professional. With my partner being a mechanic himself, he had a rough idea about an approximate cost. Harrells were right in line with what we expected to pay at our local garage. Special shout outs to Chris, Matt and Drew!! We would highly recommend Harrell’s Automotive!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! Having car trouble while you’re away from home is never how you want to spend a vacation, and we’re so glad we could make an unexpected situation a little less stressful for you both. It means a great deal to us that your hotel staff and tow truck driver trusted us enough to send you our way—and even more that we were able to live up to their recommendations. Providing honest, fair pricing and treating people the way we’d want our own family treated is incredibly important to our entire team. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Chris, Matt, and Drew! Thank you again for trusting Harrell Automotive while you were visiting Erie. We hope the rest of your mini vacation was much less eventful—and if you’re ever back in the area, hopefully you’ll stop by just to say hello rather than because you need a starter! 😊 Safe travels from all of us at Harrell Automotive!

Only went in to get a code looked at and they did a full look over and found my problem for free. Waiting room is a great place to sit and hangout while it was getting looked at too.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the great review! We’re glad you brought your vehicle in and that our team was able to track down the problem for you. We believe in taking a good look at the whole vehicle, not just the one concern that brought you through the door, so you have a clear picture of what’s going on and can make informed decisions. We’re also happy to hear you enjoyed the waiting area! We’ve worked hard to make it a comfortable place to hang out while we take care of your vehicle. Thank you for choosing Harrell Automotive—we truly appreciate it!

We were leaving Erie after spending a few days there when our truck overheated. We were pulling our travel trailer as well. I looked up Harrel Automotive on the internet and called. Matt got us in as soon as we got there. Turned out we needed a new radiator, so would need to spend another night. They helped us find a spot for our camper so we could spend the night in it instead of staying in a motel. Matt's customer service exceeded all expectations, and they had us back on the road the next morning. The entire team took great care of us.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Overheating while traveling is stressful enough, but having a travel trailer in tow makes the situation even more complicated. We’re so glad you found us and that Matt and the team were able to get you taken care of quickly. Getting your truck repaired was important, but we also wanted to make sure you had a comfortable place to stay while we worked on it. We’re happy we could help find a spot for your camper and get you back on the road the following morning. We’ll make sure Matt sees your kind words—providing that level of care is exactly what we strive for. Thank you for trusting Harrell Automotive when you needed help far from home. We hope the rest of your travels were smooth and trouble-free!
If I could give 10 stars I would. Long story short I brought in my 2006 Scion xB, (VERY uncommon car with uncommon parts), because it randomly decided to blow a spark plug and destroy my ignition coil at the same time. The issue was that the threads where the spark plug screws in were stripped so the spark plug wasn't actually screwing in. I called probably 15 mechanics in Meadville (where I lived before moving recently). Most were pretty rude because I asked if they could get it done the same day and they were acting like it was a stupid question, but it was imperative that I got it done that day as I was moving into a new apartment and NEEDED my car. I started calling mechanics in Erie because I was desperate, and after again, being treated like I was crazy, I came across Harrell Automotive. I almost didn't call and gave up, but I tried my luck and Matt was the absolute best. I CANNOT say enough good things about him. Matt totally worked with me, and when I explained my situation, he said absolutely he would look at it today but he couldn't promise it would be fixed today. That was good enough for me considering everywhere else I called basically told me to kick rocks and he was so polite. I got nothing but honesty from this place. Matt told me that he would look at my car, and he wouldn't do any repairs without asking me first because there was a 50/50 chance this could be a moderately priced repair, or a repair priced more than the car was worth. He must've called 3 different times that day to keep me informed and give me updates so I wasn't left wondering, and treated me like I was his only customer that day. 3 hours later after I dropped my car off, he calls me to tell me my car is fixed and I am free to pick it up. $500 repair, perfectly reasonable, AND done in hours, perfectly no less. In conclusion, this place just earned themselves a lifelong customer, and I have never in my life had a better experience with a mechanic, and possibly with customer service as a whole. I cannot overstate this, if your car has an issue, this is the place to go. They won't try to get you to spend more money on repairs you don't need, and they will make sure you stay informed and taken care of.
Response from the owner:Wow—thank you so much for this incredible review! We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your entire experience with us. We know that sometimes “Can you look at it today?” isn’t just about convenience. You were in the middle of moving, you needed your car, and you were trying to solve a stressful problem. While we can’t always promise a same-day repair, we can always promise that we’ll listen, be upfront about what we can realistically do, and do our best to help. We’re especially happy to hear how well Matt took care of you. Keeping you informed, explaining the possible outcomes before spending your money, and getting your approval before moving forward is exactly how we believe automotive repair should be handled. We’ll absolutely make sure he sees your kind words! And getting your Scion repaired and back to you just a few hours later makes this story even better! Earning someone’s trust—and especially hearing that we’ve earned a lifelong customer—is one of the greatest compliments our team can receive. Welcome to Erie, and welcome to the Harrell Automotive family! We’ll be here whenever you need us. Thank you again for the 10-star review! 😊

I was treated with utmost respect and thoroughly informed by Matt Mitchell on the Work & Pricing. Parts are expensive thanks to tariffs the garage and technicians have nothing to do with that. Personally if anyone feels they know so much about vehicles and didn't like the work maybe you should open your own garage PERIOD
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We’re especially glad to hear that Matt made sure you felt respected, informed, and comfortable with both the work being performed and the pricing. We know vehicle repairs can be expensive, and there are many factors affecting the cost of parts that are outside anyone’s control. What we CAN control is how we treat our customers—being transparent, explaining what their vehicle needs and why, communicating costs before moving forward, and doing our best to provide quality repairs at a fair price. We truly appreciate your understanding, your trust in our team, and especially your willingness to stand up for us! That means more than you probably realize. We’ll be sure to share your comments with Matt and the rest of the Harrell Automotive team. Thank you again!

Got me in on a busy day for my car inspection. Got my car back same day as well. Prices reasonable. Can't ask for a better place to get a car done.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the great review! We know how valuable your time is, so we’re glad our team was able to fit your inspection into a busy day and get your car back to you the same day. We truly appreciate your comments about our pricing and, most importantly, your trust in Harrell Automotive. “Can’t ask for a better place” is a pretty wonderful compliment—we appreciate you choosing us!
Great Family owned business and very thorough. Matt's customer service is absolutely wonderful! We take all 3 of our vehicles there.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much! As a family-owned business, it means a great deal to us when a family trusts us to take care of not just one, but all of their vehicles. We truly appreciate your continued confidence in our team and your kind words about our thoroughness. And we couldn’t agree more about Matt! We’ll be sure to pass along the compliment—he’ll love hearing it. Thank you for continuing to choose Harrell Automotive and for being part of our extended shop family!

brought my vehicle in for inspection and oil change. ended up needing brake pads and rotors. I am a student so didn't have much wiggle room in terms of time. Chris was spectacular and made sure the vehicle was done in time so I wasn't late and did not miss class.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We know unexpected repairs can be stressful—especially when you’re a student with classes and a schedule that doesn’t leave much room for surprises. We’re so glad Chris was able to make sure everything was taken care of and get you back on the road in time for class! We’ll definitely make sure Chris sees your kind words. Taking care of the vehicle is important, but taking care of the person who owns it is just as important to us. Thank you for trusting Harrell Automotive with your vehicle, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

I was in a great bind. Was on my way to a week end drag race in Ohio with a 25K# dragster trailer, when the 6.7 Ford Power Stroke diesel threw a rod. The engine was toasted and was stuck on the shoulder of the NYS Thruway. Once on the AAA flatbed the first 2 shops we stopped at told us that they didn’t do any work on diesel trucks. The 3rd stop was Harrell Automotive. They were super accommodating, evaluated the problem and provided an estimate to replace the engine. They even let me leave my trailer in their yard while the repairs were made. This was not your typical engine swap, as the truck cab had to be removed to facilitate the replacement. It was naturally expensive but the charges were very reasonable. They had it back to me in a week. Highly recommended A+
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for the A+ recommendation! We know how stressful it must have been to have an engine failure on the Thruway while towing a 25,000 lb. dragster trailer—especially when you were headed out for a weekend of racing. We’re really glad you found your way to Harrell Automotive and that our team was able to get you taken care of. A 6.7L Power Stroke engine replacement is certainly no small job, and getting you back on the road within a week was a true team effort. We were also more than happy to give you a safe place to leave the trailer while the truck was being repaired. Thank you for trusting us with such a major repair, especially when you were far from home. We truly appreciate your business, your kind words, and your recommendation. We hope the new engine gives you many trouble-free miles—and that your next trip to the races is a whole lot less eventful! — The Harrell Automotive Team

I’ve never been in better hands. Drew is an awesome tech, he helped with all the problems I had on my car and was very detailed about what’s going to happen next with an easy price range. Come to Harrold’s automotive and you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for getting us in so quickly. The work was exceptional and the staff was very helpful. The staff kept me informed of the work being completed throughout the day. Also a huge thanks to Mark for taking the time to get me back to the campground rather than sitting in the garage all day. I would highly recommend your garage to others.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the wonderful review and recommendation! We’re glad we were able to get you in quickly, keep you informed throughout the repair, and get you back on your way. We especially appreciate you recognizing Mark! We know being away from home with vehicle trouble can be stressful, and no one wants to spend their entire day sitting at a repair shop. We’re happy he was able to get you back to the campground while our team took care of your vehicle. Thank you for trusting Harrell Automotive. It was truly our pleasure to help, and we hope the rest of your travels were smooth and trouble-free!

Fantastic, I was two hours from home in Erie, Pennsylvania when my alternator died. These guys were able to get me in and back on the road in About five hours from the time I first called. I think that’s really good.
Response from the owner:Taylor, we are so glad we could get your alternator replaced and have you back on the road safely. Being stranded far from home is stressful, and we appreciate your trust.

We were in the process of mivung to NC and my hydraulic clutch failed. They went above and beyond in helping us out to get it repaired. They were able to fit us in between the services they had already scheduled for the week. I really can't say enough about their service and the ability to adapt to our issues. I hope to find a auto service center just like theirs in NC. Great team they have.
Response from the owner:We're glad we could help you get back on the road during your move. It's rewarding to know our team's adaptability made a difference. We wish you the best in North Carolina!

A couple of weeks ago my Equinox required an oil change and yearly inspection. As with previous experiences at Harrell Automotive , I was informed of what was needed for my vehicle, my questions answered and notified of progress of work being done. I am confident of the skills, knowledge and experience of those working on my vehicle. I am treated with respect from the moment I arrive until the time my keys are handed back to me. I am confident of recommending Harrell’s to others knowing they will receive the same excellent experience. Thank you to all involved.
Response from the owner:We're thrilled to hear that you're satisfied with the service you received at Harrell Automotive! Ensuring our customers get back on the road safely and swiftly is always our priority, and we're glad we could assist you with your battery issues promptly. Thank you for trusting us with your vehicle, and we appreciate your positive feedback. If you ever need assistance again in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!

We are from NY and we're passing through Erie for the beginning of a 3 week camping trip. We stopped for gas I Erie, and I noticed some oily substance was all over the frame of our trailer, and the rear wheels. Finally traced it to the transmission. We had a transmission service done before we left, and the mechanic had broken a bolt, but said he had it fixed. Harrell worked hard to get us in and out as quickly as possible. Turns a out "our mechanic" not only didn't fix the broken bolt, he broke an easy out off in the transmission. If you don't know what an easy out is, a broken one is not an easy repair. Harrison's was wonderful throughout the entire process, cheaper than "our mechanic", and got the job done quickly and got us back on the road! They did everything they could to make a bad situation comfortable, very glad we found them.
Response from the owner:Darwyn, we appreciate your detailed feedback! It’s great to hear that Harrell Automotive was able to assist you during your trip. We strive to provide quick and effective service, especially in challenging situations. Safe travels on your camping adventure!

Awesome place! I have a 2007 Winnebago View with a Mercedes Sprinter Diesel engine in it. Very few mechanics will even touch it. It was losing power going up hills. Herrell diagnosed the problem and fixed it. Now it's running better than when I bought it five years ago. Great customer service–great service all around! Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:We're glad to hear about your positive experience, Jeffery! It’s fantastic that our team was able to diagnose and fix the issue with your Winnebago. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Safe travels ahead!
