They got my car in promptly and they diagnosed the problem. Very friendly and helpful people. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing auto repairs.

Just moved to the area. I tried a couple places neither of which willing to install my lift kit which is understandable. I was recommended to try McManus and they were more than willing to do it. They got it done in a timely manner and cheaper than expected. Will be going back.

Took my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee in late June for a few “fixes.” My A/C was only working on one side of my car, headlight needed completely replaced, simple oil change & my car started to overheat when it would run for 3-5 minutes. I had spoken with John multiple times within a few days. The communication & updates were appreciated but I’m giving this experience one star because of how I was spoken to & for the final diagnosis of my Jeep. Please note that This isn’t the first time I’ve taken my car into McManus but it was definitely the last. When John had called to give me the final call on the issue of my Jeep he had asked me if I knew how to work my air conditioning because it was “perfectly fine,” & acted like I was dumb. My air conditioning hadn’t worked for two years at this point so I knew I wasn’t the problem. The icing on the cake was him telling me that the cause of my car overheating was a hole in the gasket & a blockage in my engine. John quoted it at $12,000-$13,000 to fix. Told me that my car as is with me needing new tires, a whole new headlight, my A/C etc… wouldn’t be worth fixing. I told him I’d pay my tab but will pick up my car anyway. I took my car elsewhere a few weeks later to get a second opinion before investing into a rebuilt engine or new car. The place I had taken it to right outside of Altoona was beyond helpful, FRIENDLY, & went above and beyond. He not only fixed my BROKEN A/C but flushed my engine & replaced one part. My total for those getting fixed & having a running car was less than $710.00. I paid McManus almost half that just for them to look at it and an oil change. I understand it’s a business but trust goes a long way & I’ll never trust them with my vehicle, time or money again.

McManus opened about the same time I moved to Altoona 27 years ago. The business remains in the family as well. Mechanics come and go from shops but here I’ve had the same mechanics work on my cars for years. Many times we’ve discussed options, needs, and cost. Never once have I felt they’ve tried to do a repair I didn’t need. They’ve also referred me to dealerships when a repair is under warranty and I wasn’t aware. I recommend this shop.
