Located at 815 S Allen St, State College, PA 16801, Graham's Service Center operates as an auto repair shop serving State College in Pennsylvania. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as gas station, towing service, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.

The business lists hours on 7 days of the week. Typical hours are 7:30 am–9 pm. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Graham's Service Center at (814) 238-6143; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

I blew a brake line and took it to Graham’s to get fixed. It turned out to be a problem with a distribution block that was discontinued, and that part was probably out of their scope anyway. Mechanic said because they couldn’t fix it, they wouldn’t charge me, which is the last thing I expected. Very cool of them!

Complete scammer! I'm pretty sure such high rating is FAKE. Went there for a serpentine belt change. Before service, told me labor rate was $90. I brought in my own replacement parts and acknowledged them in advance. After the service, the labor rate became $120! I asked why, he told me: β€œI make money from parts.” I agreed only because I did not want to get into a conflict. His statement/reasoning did not add up since we both agreed at $90 plus I did not get parts through him. Of course you were only making money from labor, but not from parts. I asked a few other people I knew around the area, they also had bad experience from this shop. Only went here once and felt so done with it. These people here have no hindsight on doing business+being completely ruthless.

We live in NH, but our college kid lives in State College. Had a great experience having our VW serviced for a larger than expected issue! Thanks for being helpful, extremely reasonable in price and getting it done in just a day!!

Zero stars! Do not go there, complete rip off. Was charged $60 for them to do absolutely nothing and then LARRY hung up on me when I was explaining that the fee was ridiculous. I explained to him I would make sure others know about this and his response was oh well. I have dealt with them many times in the past and it’s been excellent but todays experience will make sure I do not return and suggest that the churches that deal with them see this. My car wouldn’t start at the Library today and had some places that I had to arrive at in a timely matter so I called the first place I thought of Grahams especially because they are right down the road, a minute away to be exact. The man arrived promptly and my bf called me to say the cable is loose, it happened to him twice yesterday. Right as he said that I told the driver who touched the cable and mentioned… yeah I see it looks a little loose and my car was back on. I was not jumped, nothing was done at all and I was charged $60. Listen I get the fact that I called for service but the rudeness and I definitely feel I was ripped off. On another note a grown adult hanging the phone up when someone is not screaming, not yelling but sayin

Got a flat tire after hitting a pothole near a construction site on the highway. I called multiple auto repair services who were not able to get me or tow my vehicle, and I was finally recommended Graham’s. The person who picked up was very kind and patient while I frantically was trying to explain my situation. I had no idea where I was, but I was able to send him my location and he drove about 40 minutes to help me out. I thought I had a spare tire (it turned out that it wasn’t a true spare tire because it didn’t have a wheel), so he wasn’t able to just change it for me, but he towed my car and dropped me off at a nearby auto repair shop who did it for me. The towing was about $150. I’m so grateful for his help and the great customer service!
