03 · The shop

The station Reading trusts.

East Coast Gas & Auto Repair has been on Main St for 20+ years, run by owner Joe and shop manager Anthony. Reviewers call them straight shooters: upfront prices, plain-English explanations, and work that holds up.

It is the old-school deal, done right. Pull in for gas without leaving your seat, get the car looked at while you are here, and hear the real price before anyone picks up a wrench.

Reading keeps talking.

Real words from real customers, pulled from public reviews.

Great service, Anthony is very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. He calmed me down after my wiper blade croaked and the dealer wanted to do all these unnecessary things just to see what the problem was. He saved me aggravation, time and money by helping me out so quickly!

Birdeye review

This place is the best! They have full-service gas and the price is the CHEAPEST around. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Anthony and the boys have been maintaining my car for several years. They do a great job, and Anthony will actually shop around to get the best price on parts.

Service is okay, dirt cheap 93 octane. 50 cents cheaper than anything in the area.

Came here for a transmission issue for my 2006 Highlander. They inspected it, found the driveshaft issue, and had it fixed in 2 hours. Really good guys.

These guys are the best, positive family vibe in there and the owner clearly cares about his customers quite a bit.
