Always super friendly and efficient service. They are extremely honest and will not try to haggle more expenses out of you. Anytime I have issues with my cars, I immediately make an appointment with Ricky and it has never gone wrong. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I was having a rough day. My battery went complete, to the point it was smoking and melting the terminal away on a Friday afternoon. I have AAA and the battery service they offer couldnt do anything with it. I needed a tow. I tried my own local garages (Im a commuter to Harrisburg), and it was 2 weeks wait everywhere. AAA suggested Harkins to me. I give them a call, and they were able to hook me up the same day! Not only that, but after waiting 2.5 hours on a tow, and a friend getting me to Harkins, Rick went and got my car himself and fixed me up and got me home. Not only did they save my day, their character is top notch! They offered me donuts while I waited, and Ricks grandkids were visiting and were a pure delight. They were so talkative and made my time waiting fly by. They made me feel part of the family for an afternoon and totally changed the vibe of my day! It was so refreshing to see a friendly business, family-oriented, and top notch, speedy, same day service. I will forever recommend them and try to take my repairs to them. Thank you Harkins for the positive experience. :)
I made an appt for an oil change and new used car check before driving it across the country. They discovered a bad wheel bearing and were able to get it replaced early the next day so I could get on the road.I was super impressed with all of my interactions and they were super friendly! Im sending my Mom there for any future service she needs.Thank you again!
Great service and honest. You won’t go wrong using this service center!
Harkins Service Center LLC was recommended to me by a family member after several negative experiences with another auto shop I had been using for years. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get my car in, have the work done, be kept informed with updates, and pay and get my car back hassle-free. Five out of five stars and highly recommended to all!!
Was looking for a local shop to take care of my Minis needs and found this place. Service was great and the people were friendly. They performed well on everything that Ive asked for and the labor cost was about average or better than other shops. Ill continue to do business here just as long as I can get an appointment, because they do book up quickly!
First, the website is awesome. Provided enough information to make me feel they could possibly handle the job (timing chain Acura). They had an area for comments and replied the next day. Listened to my concerns regarding issues I had already been given in previous estimate. While they could not commit without actually evaluating vehicle, they gave enough information so I felt led to have my car towed to them. Evaluation was made and they called with the issue and what the solution would be..all concerns/questions answered and a complete detailed explanation was given as to what was necessary to do the work correctly and a rough estimate. After giving approval, Chris called back with exact estimate, date it would be completed. It had been down several mo and also needed inspection. All work was completed on time, Chris called after his test drive and gave full report and the gal at the desk took payment over phone and it was picked up over weekend by my daughters. Easy breezy! I never even saw the place but they have 3 new customers! Awesome price, work, service and total pleasant surprise! Thanks Harkins!!
The best customer service I’ve ever had at an auto garage. They were quick, thorough and incredibly pleasant.
I rarely rate 5 stars, but Harkins earned it. My dealer diagnosed a bad catalytic converter but their quote was crazy! I price and review shopped and went with Harkins. They communicated very well and the repair was completed on cost and time. 2 days later the same Check Engine Light came on. Harkins fit me back in, installed another cat. con. under warranty as well as a sensor which solved the problem. Honestly the car has never run better - so i suspect this sensor was bad all along but the dealer didnt catch it. The tech stayed in touch with me through the process and bent over backwards to get this resolved ASAP. You dont see customer service and courtesy like this very often.
I had a nail in my tire the day before I was supposed to leave for college. These guys got me in on no notice and have my tire patched up in a few hours. Cannot say enough about the quality of work and helping me out in a pinch.
Great shop I will definitely be returning fix my truck a day before it was supposed to be done no problems even got a text checking on my vehicle to make sure everything was still OK
Took my 2015 Outback there for a State Inspection and replacement of front brakes. Everything was easy - from setting up the appointment to getting the work completed. They did the work quickly and did a great job. Thanks!
I first called to get a estimate on a clutch for my 98 accord. Other shops where a few weeks out, but Rick and his team were able to get started from the first day it arrived and with a lower starting bid. Ricks team called me every step of the way and went over the repairs, including ones that they noticed not included in estimate. They went over the details of the extra repairs, and asked for permission before just doing the work. I was extremely satisfied with the time they were able to get it done. After going 6 months without my car, they had it done in 2 days. Thanks again.
Professional and very courteous. Very well priced. I will be using Harkins shop for all my car maintenance needs. Thank you!
Efficient, honest, straight forward service. I appreciate their direct communication and they always meet expectations.
Everyone at Harkins is warm and communicative. They show you what they are doing, explain everything, and take pride in their work.
Excellent, prompt service with excellent results. Strongly recommend.
I had my vehicle inspected and oil changed. Every experience I had with them I was very satisfied. They are very caring, professional and they never nickel and dime me. They are very trustworthy!
We always take our vehicles to Harkins Service Center because they always do a great job! We know we can trust them and theyre very dependable.
I have been using Harkins Services since he first started a business. Rick is professional, very knowledgeable, friendly and ensures you are receiving the right care for your vehicle. His business has since grown and everyone who is apart of his business/shop have been great! As a someone who isnt overly knowledgeable about cars, I have always felt Rick and his team have been honest about what my car needs and never make me feel overwhelmed with unnecessary information. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who is in need of a good mechanic.
My wife and I both took our cars there. They were very professional and quick, but efficient with quality work. They did not try to upsell us into work we did not need. They did what was required at a high quality and their prices were very fair. We will return for our future needs and I highly recommend them.
Rick squeezed me in with their full schedule and did a too notch job on my front-axle brake and rotor replacement. He texted me about a week after to check up on me. I really recommend this shop!
Rick and his team at Harkins Service Center are second to none. We have taken our vehicles to them for big and small repairs and service for many years now and will not go anywhere else! Honest, informative, and timely. I continue to recommend Harkins Service Center to friends and family and will not go anywhere else with our vehilcles.
The Harkins team are great to work with and serviced two of my vehicles over two days with as-always positive results. They work was performed flawlessly and priced fairly. Harkins is my “go to” shop.
Ive used Harkins for all my service needs since coming to Harrisburg about two years ago. They are very professional and communicators. And Ive found their pricing competitive enough for me. Great company!
Car was towed to them last minute and was ready within a few hours of them receiving it! Great service for a good price!
Very professional, courteous and accommodating. Highly recommend
The most honest,professional,and friendly garage Ive dealt with in a long time
Been take my Honda’s here since I was in high school. Great family-owned place with a great track record of high quality service. I dropped my car off for an inspection and oil change for my most recent appointment the night before and Chris had it done within an hour that evening. The night before the day of the appointment! Dudes in here give a damn about the customer and Rick is a great guy. Couldn’t ask for a better place in a day and age where it’s tough to find a good mechanic.
I met Rick over the summer for our shared hobby of scuba diving. I just recently discovered that he had a service shop and the timing worked our perfect because I needed my inspection, emissions, and an oil change! I have gone to different service centers over the years from corporate chain owned to private owned but Rick and his crew did a great job and I will for sure be going back for any of my car needs! The service was done super fast and at a reasonable and affordable price (I’m still a student)! They are also pet friendly and let me bring my furry child! I definitely look forward to bringing my car back and also having Rick as a dive instructor this summer!
Great service. They fit me in and completed the job quickly. They were very professional and friendly too. Price was affordable. Ill definitely use their services again.
The staff at Harkins is the best. You can always count on them to get the job done. Friendly and courteous staff. Highly recommend!!
Recently got my alignment done and the lady at the desk was super friendly on the phone and in person. She got me promptly and I was able to wait for my car to be done. Didn’t take long at all! I met Rick and he was also very friendly and personable. Great place highly recommend!
Ive been going to Harkins for several years and am always extremely pleased with the work. I was a professional driver so I saw them about once a month for oil changes and theyve done my major repairs. I really appreciate their professionalism and knowledge.Edit: another happy trip to Harkins!
We were traveling through Harrisburg PA and our water pump on our Jeep Grand Cherokee wen out. AAA, without hesitation referred us to Harkins Service Center. Rick Harkins no only diagnosed the issue, fixed it that day and his price was fair and he offered us a AAA discount.The shop was spotless and we were traveling with our 2 big dogs and Rick welcomed the dogs along with us. I would highly recommend Harkins Service Center.
Great service, nice people and fair prices! We will be back again. Thank you Harkins team!
I was looking for a reputable garage that did good work and wouldnt rip me off. I asked for recommendations on Facebook and Harkins was suggested. They didnt disappoint. Fantastic work and customer service. I will be a returning customer.
OUTSTANDING! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. AAA & BBB accredited. Reasonable rates for a full range of auto repairs and services. Dealership authorized repairs & servicing for Acuras & Hondas. Large, clean waiting room with inexpensive snacks & beverages + free wifi + a free charging station for phones & devices. HIGHLY recommend!!
Harkins Service Center has been reliable, fair and trustworthy. They always go the extra mile when they have my car. The last visit they checked the air and filled my tires even though it wasn’t requested on my intake sheet.
I brought my car in for an inspection and oil change. I needed it done by a certain time in the day and they were able to accommodate my request! We take all our cars to Harkins for any work we need done. They take great care of us and have wonderful, friendly service!
We’ve been going to Rick since day one. Always helpful and willing to work with your budget to get the job taken care of and your vehicle running in top shape. Thank you!
I’ve used Harkins for quite a while and they’ve never let me down. Super reliable, fair and always kind. Rick, the owner, is a fantastic mechanic. His skill, experience and great customer service has rubbed off on all of his employees. Definitely give these guys a shot if you haven’t already!
Very kind staff, professional and high quality service!
When I moved into the area I followed the great reviews online to Harkins. Theyve become my trusted auto mechanic. The whole Harkin team, Rick, Lisa, Ricky and Chris are wonderful to work with. They provide quality and clean work. Theyve provided routine maintenance and inspection as well as done some larger jobs for me. Ive not been disappointed once. They provide education with regards to the problem, the parts and the fix so you understand whats being done. They do not try to rack up the bill by suggesting unnecessary fixes. They are good and honest people who Ive witnessed on numerous occasions treating customers like family and friends. Im thankful for the good work they do keeping my car running well.
Dropped my vehicle off for an inspection. I was in no rush to get it back, but it was done fairly quickly. They have a computer for customers to use, which is nice if you need to print your documents or you dont have access to a computer/printer. Its a nice, small company Im happy to support!
First time for using Harkins to service our Porter Truck.Have to say very friendly fast, and courtesy people there at Harkins.Had our truck back running good as new in a days time.Would recommend them for all of your service needs.Meyers RV Superstores Harrisburg.
Great service, friendly, knowledgeable staff, and fair pricing. They are honest with you, and you dont feel like you got ripped off going here. Theyve taken great care of me and my 09 Honda Accord, highly recommend!
We own 3 vehicles and Harkins is our go-to place for all repairs and maintenance. Rick and his staff are very friendly, dependable and trust-worthy. Their prices are very fair; I never feel taken advantage of. As long as they are in business, they will have our business!
Absolutely the best garage in central pa. I personally am very meticulous with my vehicles and will only use Harkins garage for service. They are professional courteous and do the job the first time right and on time, and always do their best to give you an honest and fair price for whatever service they are performing on your vehicles
They have been servicing my Fiat 500L for several years. Professional yet friendly, very capable mechanics, reasonable prices, and a courteous and respectful environment. I highly recommend Rick and his team. Jeanne
Rick Harkins and his team definitely deserve 5 stars for the their steller service performance on getting my truck back on the road in a very timely manner, along with very fair pricing!
Found these folks when I was searching for an independent service center. Was tired of the dealerships and national chains where I always felt I was being over-charged. My first experience with this outfit was nothing short of fantastic! Found them to be very upfront, highly professional and honorable.I plan on taking all my vehicles to Harkins going forward for any mid to major repairs. A great first time experience!! A tip of the cap to the group that I interacted with - Lisa, Chris and Rick. Kudos to you folks for providing what I found to be true customer service.
The staff are friendly and professional. They do their best to get the job done on your time schedule. There were no surprises, the estimate they gave me for the work on my car was the amount I paid. They let me know what work would need to be done in the future and gave me an estimate for that work. I was very pleased with all aspects if the service I received.
I was recommended to go here for an alignment after I had received my new tires from Costco and although I am very sketchy with using car repair places other than the dealership I was willing to try it out since I was in need of service right away. The owner and staff are super nice and professional! I actually prefer to use these guys now rather than a dealership. Their prices are reasonable and I dont ever have to question the work that was done on my car.
Harkins service center is a friendly and knowledgeable place to be when your car needs work! I am grateful for the skillful mechanics for their excellent work. My car has never worked better after visiting Harkins Service center, Thanks again for your wonderful work!
Everyone is so helpful and friendly. They always do a high quality job in a timely manner. I trust Harkins Service Center with my vehicle and I appreciate how honest and reliable they always are.
So the transmission on my range rover went out so I’m thinking I’m about to pay a arm and a leg so I’m calling around and searching a bunch of places getting outrageous prices or not even wanting to touch the car at all and then BOOM I find harkins service center they get me in there on a Wednesday and I was back driving on Thursday.GREAT STAFF GREAT PRICES ALL AROUND A GOOD PLACE TO TAKE YOUR CAR
My 04 F150 had been throwing a check engine light and have a serious loss of power made worse anytime the engine was loaded. I dropped of my truck the night before my appointment and before 10am the next morning I had an answer from the mechanics at Harkins Service Center. The mechanic took the time to tell me what was wrong with my truck. Then he presented me with multiple options for correcting the problem. He them gave me his reccomendation for what would be best for fixing the problem and ensuring that there is little chance of it reoccuring down the road. My truck needed to plugs, coils and probably a throttlebody cleaning. What really impressed me was when the mechanic told me that because the plugs were probably the OEM plugs that there was a high likelyhood that they would break trying to take them out. He also told me that he was not real comfortable doing the work that day because the other mechanic was out of the shop on vacation. I appreciated his honesty and forthought for not wanting me to be without my truck should the plugs break and not be able to be removed. He assured me that my truck would be ok with light driving in the mean time and rescheduled my follow up appointment on the spot. A few weeks later I dropped off my truck the night before and my noon the next day all the work was done and my truck is running great now. I am very impressed with the professionalism and service I recieved at Harkins Service Center. I recomend them highly and will definately be a repeat customer.
I am going to make this short and sweet! BEST MECHANIC EVER!!! I give them 5 Stars across the board from hospitality to professionalism to knowledge to timely to Awesome Coffee Bar and Super clean bathroom! When I had a problem they couldnt fix because of the nature of my car they even directed me where I needed to go and it was great advice! I also went to them 2 times for questionable problems and they were so gracious and never charged me for their time! The best part about Harkins (no offense to all the hard working, amazing mechanics) is Lisa! This is a family run operation and Lisa, my new friend, runs a tight ship! I actually like going to the mechanic because Lisa and I can hang out why they fix my car. Okay, not short, but definitely sweet review. I could gush for ages about how trustworthy and reliable the Whole Team are. I truly feel blessed we found them when we moved here. A great mechanic and service center, not to mention a totally AWESOME FRIEND, are very, very special things to come across, and this gives us such peace of mind. Thank you, everyone at Harkins, your are truly One-of-a-KInd! One last thing, as a woman who has repaired who own car and was with a mechanic for years, I pride myself in doing my homework when it comes to my car. I dont do that much with Harkins because I trust them now. They treat me as a valued, paying customer; not as an ignorant woman! Now that is Refreshing and Priceless! My husband and I are Customers for Life!
I was very impressed with Harkins service. No run around, just good honest service. They got the work done when they said they would and worked with me when I had to pick up my car after hours. I wish they were closer I would use them for all maintenence not just problems.
Awesome service! Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable! They even sent me a text message to make sure car was running well! I will never go anywhere else but here! I highly recommend them! THANKS
Took my Volvo XC90 to Harkin’s for its 40k scheduled maintenance. The maintenance started as scheduled and just a short time later the work was complete, which included an oil change, brake flush, and few other minor things. Very happy with Harkin’s work and glad that he can service Volvo’s well!
My very first time there well organized and clean. Super friendly.The pricing is very reasonable. This is my new car guru. Thanks guys great work!!
Very fast, knowledgeable, and professional. Not many options in town for European vehicle maintenance other than the original Stealerships, which are required for recalls or major jobs, but dealers kill ya on routine maintenance. Harkins does what is needed without all the unnecessary bloat. Good shop! Thanks again 👍🏻
Prompt, fair pricing and the work done correctly . I use Harkins for all my Honda Service work. No need to go back to the high price dealership. Trust your Honda to Harkins. They we be servicing my Chevrolet pickup also. None better! Thank You Rick & team!
We have used Ricks services since long before he was Harkins Svc Ctr. His dedication to doing the job right and using quality products gives us peace of mind and satisfaction knowing the work was done above standard! A fantastic, family run operation with good, honest people!! They make you feel like youre part of the family. Wont go anywhere else!!
Im always happy with the service, whether it be an oil change or something more. They work with our schedule, are kind, and always helpful with everything.
This is the only shop that I trust taking my car to. I make the 50+min. drive here over the various shops in my immediate area. I believe I get an honest opinion and am not being unnecessarily upsold.
Rick and his crew are the best! Anytime we have an issue or need regular maintenance they are there and their work is done honestly and timely.Once we had an issue with our truck after they had serviced it. We took it back in, they checked it and realized they had made a mistake. They fixed the problem at their expense since it was a mistake they had made. How many repair shops will even admit they made a mistake, let alone eating the cost of repairs themselves. We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Rick and his team delivered excellent service.Great work and quick turnaround. Highly recommend.
We service our mini fleet of vehicles 🚗 at Harkins Service Center and have done so for over over 10 years! Harkins Services is a locally owned family run business that you can trust for your auto repairs. Our family highly recommends Rick and his team to provide great service with a team you can trust.
Harkins is on point. They explain everything and let you decide on services. Very detailed, polite, and professional. Wish I would have know about them a long time ago.
This is an amazing place with friendly professionals. I was referred by a friend and I really appreciate the referral. This place is efficient, to the point and economical. Overall this is my place to go to now.👍🏻
Needing an inspection and oil change, and wanting someplace different than I used last year, I chose a garage close to my house, with great google reviews.... Harkins Service Ctr. fit the criteria with 5 stars! 🤩 I was able to sit and wait while enjoying a great chat with Linda, who was more helpful than imaginable! I was delightfully in and out in an hour with no surprises....except for the one when Rick texted me a week later to check that everything is still great! 👍 YES, Rick. It is! Thank You for providing such great service in Penbrook!
Harkins Service Center was my go to from someone referring me to them and i could not be more satisfied they have done a magnificent job on my Honda Oddyssey 2006 from timing belt to engine rotors a little bit of everything she is a high mileage vehicle i just don’t want to get rid of her. Chris and Rick are very honest and dedicated to a job well done the first time around i have made them my official mechanics they never say no always have the time to fit me in and help me out and they are very genuine And humble i am truly thankful for their service definitely the best place to have you car worked on prices are also reasonable and fair
Great overall service, pricing and follow up! Very skilled and knowledgeable mechanics in the area of foreign vehicles of all makes/models. Great alternative to your high priced foreign dealership service shops.
Easy scheduling, fast and efficient service . Very friendly. Highly recommend
Rick and his staff are excellent! They are all the things youre seeking in a quality auto repair shop: skilled, certified, honest, reasonably priced, and professional. Our family trusts all of our simple and/or difficult automotive repairs to Harkins Service Center!
Needed a new shop as my regular mechanic had changed careers. Harkins came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Service was top notch and everyone is very friendly. Worth the drive from the west shore!
I had a project where I wanted to install the clutch and flywheel from a non-aspirated Supra into an IS300. Trying to find a mechanic willing to work on the project or a reasonably priced option was tough. Everyone at Harkins were patient listening to me explain the project and they were even willing to work on the project.I decided to go with Harkins and was surprised when they told me it would be done in a day. Dropped it off a couple days later at 0800 and picked up it by 1630. Clutch felt great and I appreciated the paper mat they put on the seat to protect the seats from the box of parts (I requested to keep the old parts in case the project didnt work).I would recommend Harkins. Thank you for your service!
Comfortable waiting room. Complimentary coffee. Staff thatll actually talk with you instead of to you. Quick repairs at fair prices. Thank you!
I can always rely on Harkins Service Center for quality work at an affordable price. Rick and his team are always professional and friendly. Thanks for everything.!
Great and friendly service! They always give an explanation and often show you the issues before they do anything. Highly recommend!
My highest priority when getting my car serviced is the feeling of trust, trust that any work to my car will be done completely as expected and with the highest regard to quality work. I get that at Harkins and I am glad I was able to find this friendly team (family) that also takes pride in their work such that I can drive away confident about the results!
My work trucks get their routine maintenance and repair work done at Harkins Service Center. Routine maintenance, diagnostic, and repair work has been superior compared to taking them to dealerships. It is a relief having a reputable garage like this around.
I have a Honda Accord which required A/C service. It had a system leak somewhere. After initial repair I had to take it back due to it not cooling properly. With due diligence, the owner of Harkins (Rick) took special care to be sure it was made right in the end . I would recommend Harkins as a service center to everyone. Awesome to deal with and very professional.
Great service at a fair price
Quick, efficent, honest and effective service. 5/5. Would recommend. Drop off and pickup was a hassel free process.
Was referred to Harkins by a friend, and have been pleased with their service of four vehicles for several years. Reliable, Straightforward, friendly, courteous, pressure free, very easy and comfortable to talk to.
Best service around. I have known Rick and team for 20 years. They are VERY good at what they do and take pride in their work. Hands down the best!!
First time using Harkins and they were professional from start to finish! Our vehicle was serviced in a timely manner. We are extremely satisfied and will be bringing our vehicle to them for all repairs.
State Inspection. Less than 1 hour. Super service is the norm at Harkins.Use them for your next automotive need. You wont be disappointed!
,Excelkent service, extremely courteous staff. My vehicle drives very well after the repairs. my friend recommmended Harkins and I will also recommend them. Thanks so much for fixing my vehicle

Couldnt ask for a better service center! Fast, Friendly, Courteous and Convenient! Love the staff. Kudos to those Ive interacted with : Lisa, Ricky and of course Rick the owner. Top Notch! 🌞
I was recommended to come here from Hannolds service center. Terrible recommendation. I came here for a misfire. They told me I needed to replace my entire engine. Went elsewhere, all I needed was fuel injectors, problem solved.
Total safe and professionalGreat
Abouselty LOVE Rick & his team.
Great customer service, very timely, everything went so smooth.
