What To Do Right Now

Car won't move

Stay safe, turn on your hazards, and call a tow truck. Have it brought to us at 7929 Charles St.

Flat tire

Pull completely off the road if you can. Once the car is here, we can inspect the tire or rim for damage.

Check engine light

Usually safe to drive slowly to our shop — unless the light is flashing, in which case stop driving and call us.

Engine overheating

Pull over immediately and shut off the engine. Do not keep driving — overheating causes serious engine damage. Call a tow.

Dead battery

Try a jump start if possible. If it won't hold a charge, have it towed — we can test and replace the battery same-day.

How to Describe Your Problem to Us

The more detail you give us upfront, the faster we can diagnose and fix your car.

Note the sounds

Grinding, squealing, clicking, knocking, rattling — describe exactly what you hear.

Note when it happens

Starting the car, braking, turning, at highway speed, only when cold — timing matters.

Note dashboard lights

Which lights are on? Engine, battery, oil, temperature, ABS? A photo of the dash helps.

Note any smells

Burning rubber, sweet coolant, rotten eggs, gas smell — unusual odors pinpoint the problem.

Have your VIN ready if possible

Found on your dashboard (driver side) or registration. Helps us look up the right parts immediately.

After-Hours Emergencies

  • We're closed evenings and weekends (Mon–Fri 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM only).
  • If you're stranded outside hours, call AAA, your roadside assistance provider, or one of the tow services listed above.
  • Text us your situation at (215) 978-7049 — we check messages first thing in the morning and will follow up.
  • You can leave your car in our secure parking lot at 7929 Charles St overnight — just text us so we know it's there.

Emergency Repair — Common Questions

Do you do same-day emergency repairs?
Yes — we prioritize emergency situations whenever possible. Call us first thing when we open (Mon–Fri 8:30 AM) and we'll do our best to get your car in and out the same day. Some repairs may require parts to be ordered, which can take 1–2 additional business days.
Can you come to me?
We're a shop-based service and don't offer mobile or roadside assistance directly. If you're stranded, call a tow truck to bring your car to us at 7929 Charles St, Philadelphia, PA 19136. See our recommended tow services below.
What if my car won't start at your shop?
If your car won't start at our lot, we'll diagnose it immediately. Common causes include a dead battery, bad starter, or fuel system issue — most of which we can repair same-day. Call us at (215) 565-0220 and we'll walk you through next steps.
Do you have a tow service?
We don't operate our own tow trucks, but we work with local tow companies and can recommend one. See our list of recommended tow services below, or call us at (215) 565-0220 and we'll help coordinate getting your car to our shop.
