Brookside Motors has changed its name to Thornton Automotive Dover. NOTHING ELSE HAS CHANGED. We have the same ownership, the same highly-trained, dedicated staff to take care of you, the same great reputation, and the same high level of customer service that you've come to expect since 1993!

Great selection of vehicles. They were very friendly. My saleslady Jo was a great person to work with. I just wish the detailing of my truck was a little better. They missed a lot of spots. More

Mr. Ehrman, unfortunately due to PA State Inspection Laws, we are responsible to ensure that any vehicle we are inspecting passes all PA Safety regulations. Per PA State Law, a vehicle is not permitted to have holes in the body or rust protruding through the body as well. This regulation is meant to ensure the safety of you and others. We did, however, offer you two different options to allow the truck to pass. The "right" way and the "cheaper" way. Believe me when I say this... Telling a customer that their vehicle needs thousands of dollars for PA Inspection is not enjoyable to us, but we are merely the messenger. We would have preferred to pass your vehicle, but our PA State Licensing is very important to us, because without it, we are out of business. Fortunately for you, you were able to find a garage that was willing to risk their PA State Inspection license by completing the inspection anyway. We do wish you the best of luck and we apologize that we were not able to see eye to eye on this situation. Our great reputation and quality of work is very important to us and has been for the 28 years we have been in business. We DO NOT lie, cheat, or steal, but sometimes the truth doesn't always sit well, especially at such an large expense. Please take care of yourself and also please know that we will always be here to help in the future, if you should ever need us again.
