Foremost, Mike's are an honest, trustworthy bunch. The garage waiting room may be no-frills,…read morethere's no courtesy rental car, and it might be hard to find a parking spot ... but the work is always done right, and I've not once felt taken advantage of. That is far more important to me than the creature comforts. More than once, Mike's has talked me out of an expensive repair I thought I needed. My current car is still kicking and screaming even at 220K miles/13 years and I credit part of that to their maintenance work. I'm deducting one star only because sometimes it can be hard to get a hold of the desk to schedule an appointment and they often forget to call back when the job is done ... you have to call to check up at the end of the day. But they always deliver the car when promised, so it's not too big of a deal. I do wish they had online booking for appointments and text notifications that the work is done like I've had at other garages.

There's a big difference between a parts changer and a mechanic, Mike's gets it done right.read more

We were traveling through Binghamton when our vehicle wouldn't run (needed a new fuel pump). The…read morestaff at Edge Auto were incredible - they were kind, honest, and did their best to fit us into their very busy schedule. They ordered the part and fit our vehicle in so we only had to stay a couple extra nights. They communicated the status of the part and repair, mentioning their effort to get the part quickly but not at ridiculous shipping costs. Our vehicle was ready the morning after the part arrived so we could continue our road trip. They are awesome. Thank you Edge Auto!

Waiting room is a bit dark and boring. Could use some love in there.

The man at the front told me if I brought it back the reinspection would be free. I fixed everything and brought it back a few days later and my car failed for one singular license plate light out (when it has two) even though the place i took it after here passed it with it out. For the reinspection they also charged me $10, when they said it would be FREE for a reinspection. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I brought my vehicle (Mazda CX-5) to Varna Auto because the brake warning light was on and I was…read moreunable to disengage the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). After diagnosing the car, they told me both rear EPB actuators and calipers needed to be replaced. I approved the repair and paid $1,124. They later called and said the car was fully fixed and ready for pickup. However, when I arrived, the brake warning light was still on and the EPB was still not functioning properly. I immediately informed them. The next day, they re-examined the vehicle and told me the parking brake control module had lost communication and that they could not fix the issue. They referred me to a Mazda dealership for further repairs. In other words, after charging me over $1,100, the original problem remained unresolved. When the vehicle was returned to me, the brake fluid reservoir cap was missing. The reservoir had been temporarily covered with plastic, and I had to return the following day to obtain a replacement cap. This raised serious concerns about the level of care taken during the repair. I spoke directly with the owner, William Chen, who has been very unprofessional and dishonest throughout the process, about my concerns. During our phone conversation, I explained that I was disappointed and did not want to keep parts that did not resolve the issue. He initially stated that he could return the aftermarket parts (though not the OEM actuators). However, after speaking with someone else at the shop, he changed his position and said he would not return the parts or issue a refund. Overall, I paid for a repair that did not fix the problem and was then told to take the car elsewhere. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop.

Scouring local service stations on Google and Yelp I opted for the 4.9/5 390 votes google star, Taber Auto Ithaca NY. A very common feature for each review was the service quality, integrity and kindness of Louis. Louis answers the phone, follows up with each client, told me the truth and fixed my service issue. Today my rear brake job was completed after status updates throughout the morning from Louis. The job was completed under the EOD promise time, and Taber auto also completed my inspection. Louis went further to say he would have passed me before begining the work as my rear brakes were within allowable tolerances. Now I will visit Taber Auto for all of my repairs. A wise mentor once told me, people go where they are made to feel welcome and stay where they are treated well. Louis treated me well and I plan to stay with Taber Auto.
