About Us

At Hornick's Diesel & Auto Repair in Somerset, PA, our story is rooted in experience, growth, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Our shop wasn’t built overnight; it was built on years of hands-on training, dealership-level expertise, and a commitment to creating a better experience for drivers in our community.


Before opening our doors, our founder, Andrew Hornick, spent 12 years working at a Chevrolet and Cadillac dealership. During that time, he gained in-depth technical training, experience with manufacturer standards, and a strong understanding of modern vehicle systems. But more importantly, he saw firsthand what worked and what didn’t in the automotive repair world.


The decision to start Hornick's Diesel & Auto Repair was driven by a simple yet powerful goal: to take the high standards, technical expertise, and structured processes learned at the dealership level and combine them with honest communication, quality workmanship, and a customer-first approach. We wanted to create a shop where people feel respected, informed, and confident in the repairs being performed on their vehicles.


Built on Experience Since 2011


Our journey in the auto industry began in 2011, driven by a genuine passion for fixing what’s broken and helping people when they need it most. There’s something deeply satisfying about diagnosing a complex problem, solving it correctly, and handing the keys back to a relieved customer.


Auto repair isn’t just a job for us, it’s a craft. It’s about precision, problem-solving, and responsibility. Vehicles today are more advanced than ever, and we’ve committed ourselves to staying current with technology, tools, and training so we can continue delivering reliable results.


But beyond the technical side, what truly matters to us is service. We understand that when someone brings their vehicle to us, they’re trusting us with their transportation, their safety, and often their daily routine. That trust means everything.


Our Commitment to Quality and Service


At Hornick's Diesel & Auto Repair, quality repairs and strong warranties aren’t afterthoughts; they’re foundational principles. We stand behind qualifying repairs with a 60-month/50,000-mile warranty because we believe in doing the job right the first time.


Customer service is just as important as technical skill. That’s why we focus on clear communication, honest recommendations, and a no-pressure atmosphere. We explain what your vehicle needs and why, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.


With a comfortable waiting room, Wi-Fi access, and after-hours drop-off, we aim to make the repair process as smooth as possible for busy drivers in Somerset and nearby areas.
