About Us

Opened in 1994 by Jim and Rose Altvater, Bridgeville Automotive is an auto repair shop that has been proudly serving the automotive and tire needs of customers located throughout the Upper Saint Clair, PA, area, including those in Pittsburgh and South Hills. When we first opened, we were a small, one-man shop. But thanks to our commitment to providing exceptional customer service and satisfaction, our client list continued to grow.

Now, almost 25 years later, our shop has become one of the area’s most prominent, full-service auto repair centers. Our staff includes three ASE-certified technicians and one service writer all dedicated to helping you efficiently and effectively repair your vehicle at a very competitive price. Our original motto is just as true today as it was when we first wrote it: “Old-Fashioned Quality & Service for Today’s Automobiles.”

Dedicated to Our Customers

Our team knows that the success of our business comes from you, our customers. Because of the loyalty and referrals that we have seen from our many valued customers, we have been able to grow our business into the shop that it is today. With this in mind, we pledge that we will continue to do our utmost best to continue to earn your friendship, trust, and confidence when you bring your vehicles to us.

How do we build this confidence and trust? By employing only highly-trained technicians that are capable of providing you with the highest level of service. Our team has nearly 100 years of combined car repair and service experience, which means they are able to get your vehicle back on the road promptly. Additionally, everything we do is backed by our minimum 12 month/12,000-mile warranty!
