In Harrisburg, shops are busiest on Monday mornings and before holiday weekends, so a mid-week appointment gets a car seen faster. Labor rates across Pennsylvania vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.
Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 8 amβ6 pm. It is closed on Saturday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (717) 564-5110. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, autorepairharrisburgpa.com.
Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 108 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded auto repair shops in Harrisburg.
Harrisburg is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Harrisburg is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

This place is the best. They do excellent work. They are honest, thorough and pleasant. Costs are reasonable. They never try to upsell things you don't need. And they'll shop around for the best deal on parts.

Weβve used Dales automotive off and on for years (we do a lot of our own work at home) we used to love them. However, the inspection that we just had done this past week (11/7/25) has left a sour taste in our mouth. What should have been approximately a $70-80 inspection ended up being $170. When I dropped the car off at 09:40, I spoke to the lady behind the desk and told her not to do anything to the car without authorization from us. They replaced and headlight and supposedly had to do some electrical work for the taillights, which cost an additional $80. I drive the car every single NIGHT, and I am a very competent driver, a CDL driver. I do pre-trips and post-trips on my car, both headlights were in working order, actually had just replaced them about 3 weeks ago, and the taillights were also in working order. I agree with a previous review, I believe they are just trying to make a quick buck off their customers. Disgraceful, will not be returning.

Dales Automotive charged me $1800.00 for a oil change, state inspection and to repair a gas tank sensor. After three attempts, their shade tree mechancis were unable to repair the gas tank sensor. My car was returned unrepaired. And I was charged a $1000.00 for a oil change and state inspection. After 8 years as a customer, my family and I have have called it quits. This was not the first issue I have had with that pathetic garage..

Absolute life savors. Been having issues with the fuel system in my Audi A4. After taking it to a couple other shops to be looked at, I received several misdiagnosis and was charged for parts that most likely did not need to be changed (to be fair, Audis are knows to be trouble cars). After leaving it with the guys at Dales I was give an extensive diagnosis and an honest opinion as to what the issue was. Long story short, I would have saved a good bit of time and money if I had just gone to Dales in the first place! Honest crew and great company, will definitely be taking my vehicles here for now on!

I previously left a 5-star review for Dale's Automotive. My Air Conditioner experience this past May 20th has left me disheartened. My AC wasn't cooling very well, and they quoted me for an $1,100 condenser replacement. I sought a second opinion and found that a $40 coolant recharge resolved my issue. I have been using the AC for the past 2 months with no problems. I am not sure if this was an isolated issue or some new folks there might be attempting to drum up some additional business.
