WELL... they scanned it went back into the store started looking up the part it needed only for them to tell me that they COULDNT EVEN ORDER THE PART. So tucked away on Front St. Is a shop with gorgeous painted cars and trucks in the parking lot that i admire every time i pass this busy garage, i pulled in spoke to Alex and his staff ....(they are ALL AWESOME!!!) long story short they ordered the part needed repaired my Bug TO PERFECTION !!!

We used to go there for our inspections, but his attitude has driven us away! I offered him work once and he knew I had purchased the parts from another source, so he told me to "Do it yourself!", which I did! Just Nasty!! ...and I've heard the same from others that have dealt with him!

My daughters car (2009 Nissan Murano) recently broke down on her way back up to school in Ithaca,…read moreNY. She broke down near Binghamton, NY and the tow operator (Ted from S&S Automotive - TED YOU ARE A REAL GENTLEMAN!!!) took the car to one of his friends that recently moved to Binghamton. E&J Automotive Services is the name and Eric is the owner. She broke down on Sunday late afternoon before Labor Day. I didn't think we would get anything done until Tuesday or Wednesday but Eric came in on Labor Day and looked over the car confirmed the Alternator was bad! He also did a safety inspection of the car to see if any other issues before breaking the bad news of the Alternator. He found a few other minor issues as well as a brake issue that I knew was going to need service in a few months and he went over all issues on the phone, He quoted my reasonable prices for all the work, not cheap but reasonable! If you want cheap you will get what you pay for, cheap and worthless work. He promised all the repairs would be done by end of the day about 5 or 6 due to waiting to get Alternator in early afternoon. He finished about 3:00 PM and I drove up to pay for and pick up the Vehicle. I went over the car and all work was completed as promised, car ran like a new car before the issues! He went over the safety report to tell me of tires, brakes, and other wear percentages, a great idea to let you know of how things are wearing well, uneven or out of line. I can honestly recommend to all who live near or in Ithaca, NY to go the E&J Automotive Services if in need of car repairs or if you have a possible issue that you want looked over! My only real negative is he is not near my current home and an hour to my daughters school. I can say if I need to see a Honest, Reliable, reasonably priced mechanic if I can wait to get up to him I will take my cars to Eric!!! That is how much he impressed me!

I am leaving a review however because at about 10:00 on a Thursday morning, I called these guys because my wife is sitting on the side of an exit ramp off the highway with a flat tire and I needed someone to either tow it, or change it for her, and I figured a nice 24-hour towing place would be able to get it done... Only instead of answering the phone it rang a few times and went to voicemail. I thought that was kind of odd. I've used 24-hour towing places before and typically there is at least an operator or someone that answers the phone, or one time I remember a voicemail box that said if nobody calls you back in 5 minutes here's another number. But anyway yeah, yelp is where I typically go to share my experiences, and luckily we found someone else that I basically threw a stack of cash at to go change her tire for her.
