T & T Automotive

T&T Auto isn’t that easy to find, but worth it when you get there. Down a back alley and near another auto repair spot, T&T opens into a large indoor work area with several car lifts and lots of spare parts ready to go. Adam, the owner, has continued what his dad began over 30 years ago. It’s a small staff, just four mechanics, (or do they call them auto techs now?) so make sure to make an appointment, they are usually quite busy. I just got some basic service and was totally happy with Adam and all his techs, an honest mechanic is a beautiful thing. They did the work, made a few suggestions and gave me the reality of what was worth watching and what wasn’t. I waited for my car there, altho had my work taken longer than an hour or so, I would suggest leaving the car and picking it up later. There’s not much to do out there, altho T&T does have free wifi, so there’s that. Oh and there’s a couple of big dogs that wander thru the garage during the day, according to my T&T tech, «they come for the treats.»
Come for the treats, stay for the honest mechanics.

I’ve taken my car here a few times over the past couple of years and they’re great. Very honest about what needs to be done immediately and what can wait, the cost has never been more than what they’ve quoted (and usually less), and they’re pretty quick. Last time I brought my car in, they stayed 2 or 3 hours past their closing time to finish it the same day for no extra charge.
This is off the beaten path, and it is no frills whatsoever, but it’s a great garage.

I have been taking my car here for about an year.
This week went for an axle change.
Good price and was in and out in 45min. they test drove it too.
Then started a whole new experience and great customer service.
As soon as I came out, within ¼mile, the cv joint on the new part broke. I got a lemon from NAPA.
I called tnt, they were really apologetic, took me back to the garage, towed my car back.
They got another axle, then Adam the owner suggested that the whole batch could be defective and offered to put in another one from another supplier.
I came back in 2hrs, got the new one which looked more solid.
They even put half a tank of gas.
Drove to pittsburgh, everything looks ok for now.
I am totally getting all my future car work done with them.
Special shout out to Scott who worked on my car 3 times within 2 hrs.
For no mistake of their’s, the way they handled the situation was great.

I’ve using T&T for years and have friends who have been using them for years before that. They are always easy to deal with, Adam and his father run the shop and I find them to be very professional and reasonably priced.
The shop is off the beaten track for sure in kind an old industrial area but worth trying out. They sure don’t blow any of their earnings on fancy signs or glitz. Bare bones garage.
