How to choose taxis in Philadelphia

  • For repairs, ask for a written estimate and approve any extra work before it's done.
  • Look for ASE-certified technicians and shops that give a warranty on parts and labor.
  • For purchases, get a vehicle history report and an independent pre-purchase inspection.
  • Check that dealers are licensed by the Pennsylvania State Board of Vehicle Manufacturers, Dealers and Salespersons.

Local tips for Philadelphia

Philadelphia has its own licensing rules that go beyond state law: the city's Department of Licenses and Inspections (L+I) issues contractor licenses, permits and trade licenses, so plumbers, electricians and contractors working in the city need an L+I license on top of any state registration.

SEPTA's subway, trolley and bus network covers most of the city, so check whether a business is near a Market-Frankford or Broad Street Line station if you don't drive. Street parking in Center City is limited and enforced by the Philadelphia Parking Authority.

Philadelphia is in Philadelphia County, and local phone numbers use the 215, 267 and 445 area codes. Popular areas include Center City, Old City, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, South Philly, University City, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill.
