C and H is the best !!! The previous place I used changed owners and was not the same. Tried them and will now not go anywhere else. Have brought multiple cars there with great service every time. Highly recommend !!!

Despite having great reviews, C&H was outright dishonest with me. Took them a set of brake rotors for resurfacing (after a lengthy search for a shop who still operates a brake lathe). Brake rotors and drums have become rather inexpensive to manufacture, so many shops have retired their lathes due to labor and equipment costs being greater than that of a replacement part. Some rotors are more expensive, and if possible, resurfacing or “turning” them is a more viable option. Received a call that the rotors were done, and had my dad pick them up because he was able to get to C&H during business hours. He paid no mind and brought them home. Fast forward a few days later when I was able to get them and I was surprised to see the rotors in the condition of the first and second images. I’ll spare you the details, but this finish was from basically knocking the surface rust off with a drill powered hand tool and calling it a day. The correct finish seen in the third photo is a precision skimming of metal that allows smooth, quiet braking with no pedal pulse and no excessive wear on pads. I’m a career auto technician with a focus on performance vehicles. If I had the equipment to do the job myself, I would have. I regularly assemble engines and do my share of machine work within the confines of what machinery is available to me. I immediately reached out and left a voicemail, expecting a response on Monday. I promptly received a call back, however they claimed the rotors were placed on a lathe and (precisely) machined flat and free of corrosion. Claiming “three passes on a Ranger brake lathe” No. After asking them to “re-do” the job they never did in the first place, they were agreeable. When my dad dropped them off to be properly machined, the technician (likely owner) continued defending the original job saying those are clean up marks from after machining. Incorrect. Said they would be done in two hours. Nine hours later, after the closing hours of the business my dad gets the call they’re done. Who did you have to take them to, C&H? They did a pretty good job.

Honest and affordable mechanics aren't easy to find. I had a pa inspection, diagnostic scan and changed a bad bulb for 40 bucks. Prompt service and response. C&H will be my go to mechanic from now on.
