KUDLA’S SERVICE CENTER
Modern Convenience, Old-Fashioned Service
F
or more than six decades, Kudla’s Service Center has been
a dependable, honest and friendly neighbor in the Bethel
Park community, giving residents a place for everything
from gasoline and car repairs to late-night snacks and
coffee for the morning commute.
Second-generation owner Henry Kudla says that while local,
independent gas stations are “dinosaurs” in today’s world of big
corporate chains, offering customers quality service at a fair price
is more important to everyday people.
“Service is key. My dad and uncle started this business based
on offering great service and that’s what we’ve focused on ever
since,” he explains.
In 1957, Kudla’s Service Center was a two-bay gas station in
the heart of Bethel Park. Over the years, it’s grown to a seven-
bay repair facility with a convenience store and five full-time
technicians working six days a week, including a member of the
third generation of the family, Dan Kudla. Henry’s brother, Mark,
manages the on-site convenience store.
“At one point, we had 11 family members here all working
together,” Kudla notes. “We have 17 people overall on payroll.
We’ve grown as Bethel Park’s grown, and we’ve adapted to give
our customers what they’re looking for.”
Some of those services include all state inspections and
emissions work, propane filling service, and tire service with
a full assortment of tires from names like Uniroyal, Hankook,
Mastercraft and Cooper in stock and any other brand easily
ordered for customers looking for something more specific.
All of Kudla’s maintenance and service equipment is state of
the art and updated frequently to meet the rising challenges in
technology and design that today’s vehicles pose for technicians.
What’s more, while some service stations look more like used
car lots with backlogs of repairs, Kudla’s Service Center prides
itself on being empty at the end of the day.
“Barring any unforeseen circumstance, if we schedule your
car, your car’s getting done by the end of the day, regardless
of whether it’s an inspection, diagnostic, air conditioning or
heating, suspension or exhaust problem,” Kudla says. “And you’ll
always get an honest and fair price. You don’t last more than 60
years in this business if you’re not a straight shooter.”
Kudla’s also prides itself on being a NAPA Autocare Center
as well as an AC Delco Professional Service Center. It carries
Marathon gasoline, and, if you’re really looking for old-fashioned
service, it’s one of the last places around offering a full-service
gasoline pump.
Kudla’s location is adjacent to the local trolley line and the
shop offers free local pickup and delivery, so you’ll never need to
waste time in a waiting room while your vehicle is being worked
on.
