He provides such comprehensive service at such a good price. When I see NC on my receipt, he will explain that it is not right to charge for that item since he was already in there anyway. I know from many years of experience, that would not be the case elsewhere. During an oil change on my daughter's car, Sam saw a pipe problem causing carbon monoxide to fill the cabin. His thorough and attentive work was just in time as she was just about to leave on a trip. I can't thank him enough for his care, advice, and kindness. Sam and Arline are truly good people!

They determined that the positive post needed to be replaced. They say they rad a digonistic test to determine the positive post was the problem $200.00 dollars later. Two days later I started to have lights on the dash. Today I took it back to them after I found both posts were totally loose. They refused to refund after I showed them how loose the posts were.What repair shop would make a rookie mistake by not checking that the posts were tight. They sure had no charge using a diagnostic device to replace a obvious, first place to look (battery post) . So if you want to pay $200.00 for a battery post this your go to garage, not mine The managers aid if I wanted my money back he would take the post they put on off. Cheap shot

His price for the fuel pump was $675 aswell. I spent $2500 on the whole truck and I wasn't about to spend that much to fix it. I was floored and pretty mad when I left..

I don't live in Rochester, but when I rolled into town wth my 15-year-old Subaru, the exhaust system (resonator and exhaust pipe) just fell apart. I could tell it was busted because suddenly my meager 2.6 liter engine sounded like it was revving for a Nascar race. I only had a day in Rochester to burn, so I set an appointment for 8am at the nearest Mavis which seemed to be the safest bet for getting a quick turnaround. When I arrived on the dot at 8am, they informed me they didn't have an exhaust mechanic and redirected me to Cole Muffler (also a Mavis branch) across town. When I got to Cole/Mavis, I was greeted by Tyler (? I think) and he let me know that they would inspect the car and let me know ASAP what needs to be done. After 20 minutes or so he escorted me to the car and pointed to the exact parts that were failing (rusted) and why they should be replaced. He gave me the option of letting the less rusted pipe stay. No upsell. I opted for the full replacement because it was time for this car (16 years old). He told me it would be 1.5-2 hours so I took a long walk. When I got back the car was in tip-top shape and the bill was less than I feared. They charged for parts plus $160 for labor. This included a new resonator and new exhaust pipe. Didn't need a new muffler. Total was about $650 including labor. I really appreciate this branch of Mavis/Cole for attending to the needs of my car in such a professional manner, and on the spot when I needed to have the car for other business in Rochester. This branch brings a positive vote of confidence for Mavis, even if it isn't on their main sign.

It was the only issue as on both may 18th and June 5th I got a code read and that was the only code that came up. I got it "fixed" at Cole muffler June 6th and the car was ready for me June 8th. I leave and immediately when I turn the AC on the car starts shaking. I went to go get it fixed and they quote me 500 dollars and they said that both me and two code readers just didn't notice this issue that they say has been here all along. They say a catalytic converter "technically" wouldn't cause an issue with the radiator fan, turns out although rare it can! Regional manager said a radiator fan wouldn't show up as a code and then once I said hey I googled it he pivots and said oh well it would if only blank happened. I told him hey I can show the code readings I did and he said he didn't want them. I had a lady on the customer service line say it's sort of expected that when u get work done that something might happen? This (in my opinion) made me wonder if that's what they do to get more work. If you're hoping the Mavis Discount Tire relations makes the work safe I would heavily warn you to not risk it. I habe a warranty for the catalytic converter fix that covered bad workmanship and steve told me he didn't know what he wanted me to do. Okay so I got it checked at another place and the issue could not have been here all along, so they were lying! Cole Muffler told me the issue was the radiator fan and in the two days that I left the car there, just to be told by Steve the issue was not his problem the radiator module got affected as well! A radiator fan is not something that you can just drive for months or even weeks and have your car be okay!

The prices were very reasonable for the distance and if you pay cash you'll save a bit more money. Cody Ault and his partner took the time, effort, and diligence to make sure my lowered WRX was secured on the flatbed without scraping my bumper and front lip.

I have never seen such care to detail, and will definitely use them again for future service. I really appreciate it!
