Lokuta's Garage, Pittston PA

Lokuta's has gotten me out of not one but TWO tight spots and I couldn't be happier with them. The second time, the owner lent me a car for no charge. Great folks, here.

I have to say I'm pretty disappointed, I called to gave my car looked at for burning oil. Not leaking, burning. They got me in next day, which was great. They called end of business day to tell Me it was internal and pretty much ot was to much work and didn't want to fix it. I feel pretty confident that a mechanic knows when it's burning oil that is internal yet They still charged me 105$ to tell me what I already knew and brought it there for. Then I picked it up after hours with only a receipt in the visor not a salesreceipt, but a generic credit card receipt. If you don't do engine work, don't accept engine problems it's incredible and greedy.

Great people, nice staff the owner is a nice person, friendly and they work very fast definitely recommend.

Top notch, answers the phone and NOT afraid to work. Seems no one wants to tow after 5pm! Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend! Lindsay was very pleasant and Jay was super professional and very helpful. I didn’t feel rushed and he took his time and wanted to make sure he covered everything. Thank you Jay & Lindsay!

I called them a a girl answered I told her that my tire had a nail on and she hung up on me I called them multiple times and they didn’t answer….

Excellent service excellent timing very reasonable and Driver was very professional and very easy going and easy to get along with. I appreciate you and all the help during the time when my vehicle was out of service.

I am thankful we broke down in Pittston on long road trip. It was a Sunday and the moment they answered the phone I knew we were in good hands. The service was professional and the employees were knowledgeable and kind. When the mechanic was able to look at our truck on Monday, they discovered it was an easy fix that didn't require any special parts and were able to get it back that day. I appreciated the honesty for what I expect was a catastrophic repair. The total cost was reasonable, especially having been towed on the weekend. We had an outstanding experience and appreciated it.

On a Thursday, our daughter's Ford Explorer began acting up on Rt. 81 during her trip from NC to Central NY. She stopped at a garage along the way where the mechanic noticed she had no air filter. Prior to the trip, her local garage had apparently removed, but failed to replace, the filter. With 3 small children, the family dog, and her younger sister in the vehicle, she continued north until the vehicle lost power and she creeped to a wide shoulder. In the middle of a torrential downpour, she called several garages before she found Lokuta's who had a tow truck large enough to handle them all. Lokuta's loaded the car and family into the flatbed, then took them to Enterprise where they could rent a car for the weekend. The vehicle's codes pointed to a catalytic converter ($$$). The owner was convinced it was something else. He ultimately found the problem - a maple helicopter (seed) wedge in the intake. He could have been dishonest and pushed for the expensive repair, but did not. Honesty and great highway service earn 5 stars.

Y'all, we had a saga trying to drive from NC to the Upstate NY. Lokuta's was the 6th tow truck I called on Friday just before 5 pm. Nobody could pick up 3 kids, a dog, my sister, and myself. In the pouring rain with cars whipping past on I-81, Jay came out and rescued us. He drove us to get a car rental, then he took our SUV to his garage. It took Jay and his guys multiple days to figure out what was wrong, but miraculously, he did. An error by the mechanic that serviced our SUV before our trip allowed a maple helicopter to enter the mass air system. If he hadn't seen a tiny piece that looked like a tab sticking out, we might have had a very pricey repair. We are so grateful for his perseverance, attention to detail, and honesty!

Bought a Great Geo Metro from Lakuta's last week. Found Crystal an Lindsey, Great Customer service techs. Jay sent me a video of it, (Thank You). I was 1200 miles away. They do good work there too. Thomas M. Ellis, Venice, Fla.

How can I ever ty both, Jay and Linsey. Ur kindness will not be forgotten. Fantastic Business Jay and Linsey, the gentleman that serviced my car, couldn’t get any better! I recommend this garage highly, Husband Wife Team are very professional and reliable. May God’s blessings peace and love cover your family along with your business family and their families. Sincerely with love and prayers, Linda Mac.

I hardly write reviews, I think this is my longest review, but I felt compelled to write one for Lokuta's Garage because they were such a lifesaver yesterday! Given my own personal experience with Lokuta's I don't understand how others are leaving 1-star reviews so I felt that people should know that I had a really positive 5-star experience with them.

I was on a last-minute ski trip 2.5 hours away from home and about to take my kids up to the slopes when the rental car wouldn't start. It's Sunday morning so most places were closed or unavailable. Lokuta's was the 7th phone number that I called because they were ranked 7th in my Google results. I spoke to Lindsay who was super nice, helpful, and straight to the point. I explained to her the problem and she said that Jay would arrive in about 40 minutes. Jay arrived on-time, to the minute, and went right to work on my car. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem and my car was ready to drive again. Both Lindsay and Jay were super nice and helpful, and I wished that they were the FIRST number that I called as I wasted so much time calling and speaking to the other 6 places that were higher ranked in Google results. It took Lokuta's less than an hour to get me back on the road again so from my experience, Jay & Lindsay from Lokuta's should be your FIRST call. Thank you both!

Very nice place Lindsay at the desk is amazing n workers know what they are doing it's great to have a place to take my car that i can trust will deff be using them again great work thank you for helping me with my Suv

We were travelling from Canada when a part of our van broke. Since they knew we were travelling they looked at it the next day. Since it was a big job that needed expertise, they contacted for us a place nearby that could do the repair we needed. We recommend this place, and we are back on the road! Thanks to jay and his team

On 12/27/22 I'm stop my semi on I-81 coolant leak call Locutas Garage for towing my truck to a shop repair, in hunlock creek, PA, 20 mins from I-81, and he takes 5 hours to drop my truck at the shop, next day the mechanic call me to tell me my truck have transmission problems this transmission is automatic and now don't take drive or revers he tow my truck and don't want be responsible for my truck, I'm left messages several times to his secretary and he not call me back, I'm owner operator and not make money from that day.

Hired a towing company to move a trailer and left me hanging. Not dependable nor experienced.

I contacted AAA because I needed a tow truck. They contracted with Lokuta’s towing. The tow truck driver was either under the influence of something or just dumb but he couldn’t back the truck up to our car and after trying several times he reversed really fast and smashed our front bumper. It did quit a bit of damage because the two fork type things on the back of the tow truck went through our bumper putting a big hole on each side of the bumper. The driver got on the phone said he was calling his boss. He assured me they were going to fix it so I didn’t make a police report. After they had my car for a week and would not take my phone calls or return my messages I went there. They hadn’t done any repairs to my car and actually accused me of lying and said the bumper already had that damage. They quoted me an astronomical price to fix the damage (that their driver did). They were acting very shady and threatened me with violence if I didn’t take my car. Being a woman in my 60’s and only had my daughter with me I left with my car. There is something wrong with this place. The workers were all very rude and threatening. Since I trusted the drivers word that they were going to fix it I didn’t call the police to make an accident report so I knew the police wouldn’t help if I called at that point and I honestly felt afraid of them. I’ve just read another account on a different site saying that messages were not returned and then finally they responded with vulgar language to that customer. This place is run by shady people. Stay away!
