Drove from MI to PA to visit the in-laws. Woke up the next morning and my jeep sounded like it was going to blow up (small exaggeration). Called pilgrim's because their reviews were great. They were able to get me in immediately to lift it up for diagnostics, right before their designated lunch break. Sensing my urgency they were able to very quickly diagnose and fix the problem (heat shield) before their original lunch break was even supposed to start. Told my father-in-law about them and they have gained multiple loyal customers. 1,000% recommend this place! Very honest and won't try to sell you unnecessary "repairs".

Our son in law and daughter were in from Michigan and had car trouble. They found Pilgrim's who took their car in immediately for repair even though it was the week of Christmas. They repaired the vehicle at a very fair price and got them back on the road. I then had my car repaired at Pilgrim's and had the same positive experience. They will be doing my service work in the future. Tom Baughman

I took my car there twice to be worked on and each time the work was exceptionally great. Recommend them to anyone. Staff courteous and straightforward, pilgrims is on my Xmas list.

My alternator broke down right before Easter. I was so upset because I would not be able to drive my car back home for the holidays. I proceeded to find a great place to take my car because I am unfamiliar with the York area and I am very particular about where I take my car. I chose Pilgrim's care to replace my alternator. They were super quick and explained everything in detail.

Their pricing was amazing and their mechanics/staff are so incredibly kind! Pilgrim's care seriously is a great place to take your car if you don't know much about car parts. They will treat you so kindly and walk you through the process. Thanks to this automotive shop, I was able to return home for Easter because they worked quickly and efficiently. Thanks guys! Keep up the great work!

We went to Pilgrim's for a pre-purchase inspection and Jim was thorough, honest, and knowledgeable about his evaluation. After buying the car, we took it back to Pilgrim's for some tune ups because of their caring & trustworthy character! You can tell these are guys who know what their doing, give you the best price, and care about you as people. Thank you Jim! We're so glad we found this auto shop!

This place is probably the best garage around, good guys who actually care, and if there is a problem with your vehicle they will not sleep until they find the issue. I take all my cars here for many different services. These are mechanics that you can trust! They will never tell you your vehicle needs something it doesn't, just to take your money. They are very honest, and make sure you are safe on the road and that your vehicle is running smoothly. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed!

I have patronized Pilgrims for over 20 yrs, they are very honest and good at what they do. I had one business inform me I needed brake work done, when I took it to Pilgrims they told me I didn't, it was several yrs before it actually did need to be done. They have gone above and beyond to keep my "baby" on the road!

Just moved here from NY. Needed to get 2 cars inspected within the 10day window. Placed a quick call to a few other shops and everyone was booked up. I called Pilgrims and Jim answered he was awesome! I explained my issue and that I was traveling back to NY for work again the next day. He told me to bring the car down the same day and that he and his guys would get it done.

I was there within the hour and dropped the truck off. A couple of hours later Jim called and said all was good, he was open til 5 and to come down and get the truck when I was ready. Picked up the truck, paid and made an appointment for my other car for the following week. My wife brought our other car back in the following week and she waited - Jim again took care of her and the "beast" - My Charger HellCat was in good hands.

These guys LOVE cars and were excited to look over the HC. Again, within the hour car was done! As a previous deal I made with Jim and the guys was that when I brought the HC in that they could take it for a test drive. They asked my wife and she agreed. They were shocked! Dale took the car around the corner for a quick spin and came back with a grin on his face Simple, easy and honest! Thanks Jim for making this real easy and thanks to your guys as well. You have our loyalty and business.

Outstanding service and small shop feel. I love this place and every time I bring a car up there everything is fixed correctly the first time. Also, they have very fair pricing with no surprises.

Plain and simple: If you are looking for an honest, old school, neighborhood mechanic, look no further than Jim and his crew at Pilgram's. They are honest, straightforward, and meticulous. Need an example? Read on: I've been around cars and working on them since I was a kid. My 2002 Honda CRV is my livelihood as I am in sales and in the road most of the time; needless to say, the old girl needs some extra TLC once in a while that I can't handle in the driveway, and when a strange, new sound was coming from the undercarriage that I could not find or isolate, it went to Jim and Crew.

After several communications with me, we thought it was as simple as a muffler. BUT.as usual, the team wasn't 100% convinced it was that simple, and after combing over that car for another day, they located a oddball issue in the driveshaft. It was a sound that I never would have identified as being driveshaft related, and not somewhere you would normally look.the kicker?

The driveshaft was ready fall out, a very dangerous situation. So not only does Jim and the team fix the noise, they save me from a potentially catastrophic issue on the highway. Oh yeah, all the while clearly communicating every step with me (and humoring my shadetree mechanic observations). Folks, Pilgram's is simply the read deal.

I'm new to the area and I needed some work done. I took my van in this week to fix some long-standing issues (trouble with the steering and heat only working in half the vehicle). They were honest up-front with their estimates of how much it would cost and how long it would take. They clearly spent some time troubleshooting the steering fix, as they gave me an update on what they were doing besides just replacing a main part.

When I went in to pick up the vehicle, they told me that they noticed a tire was low, so they were filling all of my tires. Maybe the best part: they noticed I have a York College parking tag, so they gave me an employee discount on labor THAT I DID NOT ASK FOR. That's fantastic, above-and-beyond service. I'll be back. (But hopefully not too soon: car repairs are expensive!)

I knocked off my passenger side mirror. Another business told me that the brackets inside my mirror and door were bent, and I'd need to replace both at a cost of over $1000. I took it to Jim at Pilgrim's for a second opinion. He also diagnosed the bent brackets, but was able to do all of the repairs for about a hundred bucks! The car looks like new. I couldn't be happier.

I called here about a problem with my car in the late afternoon on a friday, they told me to bring it in right away and they'll take a look! They took a look, told me what was wrong, and gave me a quote within half an hour. The quote was very reasonably priced, and they got the work done in one business day. I was very pleased and will definitely bring my car back anytime it needs service.
