Boydon and Perron is a quality neighborhood local business that sells landscaping equipment for…read moreboth commercial and homeowners. Fantastic service with a name that stands behind what they sell is a backbone for them. I have personally bought two commercial mowers, two echo trimmers and two commercial blowers. Parts and service is top notch and any questions are of course answered for free. Nice to know that I have someone that I can trust in sales and service that stands behind what they sell. Before going to Home Depot or Lowe's consider a local business and neighbor such as boydon and Perron. You won't be disappointed.

Best place around for auto parts. Have purchased many many items from Bruce and the team there over…read morethe years. They offer great customer service and are all very knowledgeable. They sell good brand items that won't fail you like ones purchased at the big box stores. They are very prompt in figuring out what parts you need especially when you are not sure what its even called. They have a rather large inventory on hand, but if for some reason they don't have something in stock it can get ordered in rather quickly. I highly recommend them.

Definitely a go to place if I ever have any kind of car trouble while in school.

Ren's Mobil Service is a local and full service gas station that offers friendly conversation, a…read moreminiature store, and a warm welcome to the diverse community Amherst offers. The man I met told me he had been working there for his family over 20 years, and it's hard to find a better local resource than this for the price of a small tip and your gas. The station was very accessible and neatly kept right before the heart of downtown Amherst. You can pull in from either direction--just know what side of your car has the gas cap! All in all, I would tell international travelers, locals, students, and people of all ages and walks of life to go here. I'm certain they'll make you feel welcome and answer your questions, even in the bitter cold. Again, for full service gas, the price is low so mind to tip your attendant, 10% is a good amount and fits the current era we live in. The days where a single dollar was a good gas station tip were at least 30 years ago. :)

If you like good customer service, look further. This place is a poorly run dump. I went to have my…read morecar inspected. First, the building is a mess, and the entrance is not very clear. I went in and was told to park in front of the last garage, where a guy would meet me. After waiting several minutes, a guy came out and told me to move my car, so I moved it to a parking spot, if you can call it that, since there was about 30 square feet of puddle. The guy hovered right next to my door as I got out, and then he got in without saying anything. I asked, "How long will it take?" and heard the response, "Five! Thirty-five!" I said, "So, five minutes, or 35 minutes?" And he said, "Five minutes!" So I said, "Okay, I'll be back in a bit then, going to go across the street." What happened next was like a scene out of a bad movie. The guy just kept shouting "35!" at me, like half a dozen times, while I said, "Yeah, I know, it's $35." "35!" "I will pay you when I get back." "35!" "Do you mean you want the money now? I don't have any cash. I have a card. I can just pay you in a few minutes when you're done." "35!" "I have never been asked to pay upfront for a car inspection before, is that what you're asking?" "35!" "I don't have cash on me." Finally, a full sentence. "You said you had a card, just give it to me now." I am not about to give my card to this guy, who looks and acts like he's drunk and clearly isn't carrying a card reader. I'm starting to wonder if he even really works there. So I say, "Look, I have never been asked to pay upfront for a car inspection before. I can pay you when I get back in a few minutes, because it's not like I am going to go anywhere: you do have my car. Or I can just take my business someplace else." Instead of responding, he just gets out of my car and walks away. So I go back in the front and ask if this is how they run their business, and the guy at the desk says, "Well I told you you needed $35." (No, he didn't.) I told him that the other guy had poor communication skills, and explained that I don't care if I have to pay upfront when it is clearly communicated in a way reflective of good customer service, and not just shouted at me repetitively in a way that isn't clear. At this point, the other guy comes out and starts shouting at me again, saying he usually says "35" three times, but this time said it five time, implying that I must be an idiot for not understanding what his neanderthal-like method of single word communication meant. I let them know that they needed to improve their communication skills and customer service and that I would be taking my business someplace else, and I left.
