FIVE BIG STARS. Staff. Jodene, Scott and Travis all talk to each other so they never give you the wrong information about your car. Loved that. Repairs. I had a hit and run and they helped out a lot to help me figure out how to manage the repairs. A lot less expensive than it would have been at the dealership. Future. They're my shop now. Enough said. read more

Have consistently had good experiences here. Appreciate the people and the service. Will continue to use.

Jodene was the best. She worked professionally and diligently to get my car fixed. I appreciate her so much. InCollision always delivers for me! read more

IN Collision did an amazing job fixing the brakes and a few other things on my truck. I would definitely recommend them to everyone I know! Travis was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. read more

Worst mechanic experience of all time. Went in knowing I needed brake job (pads+rotors) and a chemical smell coming from car. After a day of their "meticulous" and "thorough" systems tests, decided I had "about 1mm" of pad left and coolant was leaking through my water pump. Claimed I should just leave the car there to get all work done bc brakes were so bad, quoted me $2500+ worth of work. Do brakes myself, come to find almost 1/4" of pad left. ALSO, my coolant was leaking through head gasket and making the smell! Took a real mechanic 2 minutes to identify. NEVER GO HERE. These people prey on customers and offer unnecessary and blatantly incorrect repairs to pad their pockets. DO NOT BE FOOLED by nice service upfront and cute newsletters in the mail. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE WORST!! read more

Pros: Professional, Positive attitudes, Great communicate, if they had a tip jar it would probably over flow. I haven't taken my car to anyone else since. Cons: Not open on the weekends read more

I don't know why I'm so crazy about this place, because almost every time I come here I am relieved of several hundred dollars in cash. All for Blanche, though. The front stabilizer bar: right side broken, left side cracked. Not,an inspection issue, rather a safety issue. I really got in the weeds when I needed two "rare" emission system parts as the old ones had just plumb wore out (a 2002 accord platform) . so,,these spooky oxygen flow uptake sensors($350) had to be replaced. So, Charlie Mays, you may have to,wajt a few weeks for your. $650. read more

I've been coming here for seven years with me, my dad and boyfriend they have always made us happy and go above and beyond to make sure ur happy and evey need is made. I highly recommend taking to travis lyons. I love that they always call and make sure to check on your car and the perfomance when you take it home. Their prices are reasonable and will help to look for deals online!!!!!!! read more

In Collision & Auto Repair - Complimentary water and snacks too - Auto Repair Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I went in to get a new tail light installed because my old one was out. After taking off the whole light, they told me that because I had a small crack in the covering that water was seeping into the light and shorting the wire and would need an entire new rear light. They said it would be around $500. I got a second opinion from a different shop and they were able to fix it for $20. I do not recommend based on their predatory practices. Also, when I went in the 10+ employees I saw were all maskless. Not a very comfortable environment. Take your business elsewhere read more

Can not even express how amazing this place is!! I never leave reviews and i just had to get on here and let everyone know how great this place is. I've been a customer for at least 5 years and have never been disappointed and even more -have always been so surprised with their customer service. Everyone who works there is great!! They treat me like family, go above and beyond, and I could not be happier with them! thank you so much!! read more

This is the most untrustworthy, rip off auto repair place I have ever been to. First of all they charged my sister over $400 for her car shutting off while in drive. They claimed they had run the car several hours,everyday for a week straight and had fixed the problem. Not even 24 hours later after retrieving the car, it did not start once again. After calling, they claim there is nothing they can do for her as they "couldn't figure out the real problem", yet could NOT refund her or even tow her caf back to the shop to get it fixed. When we asked if they could tow it, they said we have to fugure out how to get to the shop ourselves. They personally charged me $100 for an inspection, claiming to be because I had no oil in my car and I needed an oil change. Yet, 2 weeks later I had no oil in my tank WITHOUT any tank leaks. THIS PLACE IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY !!!! read more

I had been going to In Collision for so many years now I don't even remember how long it has been. After my family mechanic retired I went through a series of shops and everyone of them left me longing for the old family mechanic. After my first experience with these guys, I knew I would never go anywhere else. I am always amazed at the level of service and professionalism that is demonstrated by this shop and everyone that works here. They have never let me down on a repair and have even let me know when a repair was going to cost more that it was worth. I have referred my entire family to this shop and they have all been return customers. I recently bought a new vehicle and the only part of it that makes me sad is I will no longer need to use this shop. read more

For some reason, our house moved and pulled off the rear quarter panel and bumper of my 2006 Hundai Sonata as it was sitting quietly in the driveway. Damn house. They do that sort of thing! Anyways, even though my car is close to fourteen years old, it has an exceptionally good body and very low mileage. At least that is what Scott and I agreed upon when I brought the car to IN Collision two weeks ago on the Thursday before Father's Day. I chose IN Collision because it had good reviews and was close. In fact I mentioned this to Scott when we first met and he made it clear to me that he works very hard to keep that good rating. Luckily, wife and I were going to be out of town for the long weekend so I had no problem leaving my Sonata with Scott for the two days he needed. We agreed on a price and I left the car with him that Thursday morning. I didn't mind when we returned Monday that a snafu in the ordering process sent the wrong bumper. Apparently nobody realized my beautiful Sonata was a six cylinder model. The four cylinder bumper wouldn't fit. Scott told me it would take another couple days to get the right bumper. It would be ready Wednesday. Same two days. No problem. Things happen. Wednesday comes along and apparently there is an idiot at the parts supply house who sent the wrong bumper again. This bumper had only a single opening for the exhaust whereas my model has dual exhaust. I thought it was very considerate of Scot however, to insist that I not drive with the single exhaust as it might melt the bumper. That would be bad. Scott was very apologetic and offered to bring the car to my home when it was done. How nice, I thought. Very considerate. Anyways, we finally get the right bumper, it's installed but it is the July 4th weekend. We make arrangements for delivery on Wednesday. I was working in the office that week, so it was beginning to be a bit inconvenient to have my wife drive me in every day. No problem. She is retired and happy to do it. As we were driving home Tuesday night, I decided we should stop at the shop to get the car. We pass IN Collision on my way home from work every day, so thinking Wednesday being the delivery date, by Tuesday night it would probably be ready for pick up. Hmmm, not so. Car still need to be buffed out. OK, maybe there was a backlog of work. I finally got the car today, Thursday July 9, having missed the Wednesday delivery date for unknown reason. I have yet to look at the work but I am sure it is fine. My wife accepted delivery and paid with a check while I was at work. I was a bit miffed however, that the delivery person didn't know what to charge. My wife texted me asking me the price. Seems the same guy who orders the parts does the book keeping as well. Anyways, I'm very happy to be done with this. Hopefully my car will run for another fourteen years and our house will stay put. Those houses can be very tricky. read more

This was a night mare I took my truck in with a list of things to do thay didn't fix the main problem and worked on it for 3 weeks and still have the same problems $800.0 dollars and I'm still without a truck that runs read more

I went to do my inspection check for the first time there and it took almost an hour but, they were doing extra stuff like cleaning my car and running paper works so there was no problem with that. The people there are nice and treated me well. I recommend going there! read more

I used this shop once recently to have my mom's car inspected. They were friendly, listened to my concerns, and flagged a repair that was done incorrectly at a previous shop. Great experience so far. read more

Great service, great people ! IN collision performed body work on my van and entire experience was very satisfying. The work done was beautiful and as promised. Appointment was fast. The only reason I took one star away was because the pricing was on a high side but not exorbitant. Will definitely consider them again in future. read more

This shop is terrible I thought they were going to be professiona. I went to get my car to run and wires replaced not even a hour after leaving and only making it to one store my car immediately started smoking so bad I had to call the fire department so they could extinguish my engine. The firefighters told me I should sue. I went back to tell the shop what happened and ask for my money back and they refused so now I will be seeing them in court since I spent almost $1000 to get my vehicle repaired. DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP IT IS NOT WORTH THE STRESS. And they just work on the vehicles before testing to see what's wrong they just start buying parts and working. Not to mention the parts were under $400 and they charged $500 for their terrible labor. Going here is not worth your life. read more

Scott was very helpful. He went the extra mile in customer service and very fair on price. I am very pleased and definitely be back should I need any other service. Kathy M. read more

In Collision is the only place I take my car, and only place I ever will. They are honest, helpful, and straight forward. As someone who doesn't know much about cars, the detailed descriptions and explanations about what is needed are so informative. Excellent service read more

Would definitely come here again. Actually... this is probably the only place I will trust to get my car fixed in Buffalo from now on. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Really good with not only mechanical, but electrical work. These people have a passion for their line of work and that's what sets them apart. Pricing is reasonable as well. read more

Being a fair and non biased person, I will kick this review off with the positives about in collision and then go into the negatives. Travis and his staff are very cordial in their shop, treat all customers with respect, and give fair prices for estimates. Now to the negatives. I flew up to Buffalo to drive my sister back down to Florida so she could be with family for Christmas. In collision provided her with the car on time. The body work looked excellent. Their body technicians really did a great job with all of the gaps in the panels and the paint matched perfectly. We began to drive the car towards Florida and started running into issues in Virginia, where we began to hear the left front suspension components creak. The sound grew much worse and when we reached Georgia I decided that we needed to stop and have the car inspected. We went to a shop, put it on the lift and I went over the repair work with the mechanic who was working. Both him and I were extremely shocked to find that not only did in collision use parts that were used, to include the carrier bearing on the front strut, but they used rusty parts that could not even pass a visual inspection. After further inspection of the suspension we found the subframe of the car to be warped, causing a deviation of 2.5 degrees in the camber of the front left tire. This caused the front left tire to wear extremely quickly on the outside putting it at great risk of catastrophic failure which would of ultimately resulted in a crash. This week we have been communicating with the insurance company who had been communicating with in collision. According to the insurance representative the representative of in collision was acting hostile, uncooperative, and unrepensive for the poor quality of work and potentially dangerous position that they put my sister in. When asked why they utilized used parts that were rusty and unserviceable the response was "this is Buffalo. All parts are rusty" having worked on cars for 14 years I can tell you that this is an extremely poor answer. Utilizing used ball joints that are taken out of a car by means of extreme force and utilizing them in another car is a truly juvenile practice. Even when I was in high school and had no money whatsoever I would cough up the 20 dollars and replace ba joints with new ones. The fact that they did not even check the serviceability of the front strut carrier bearing is simply inexcusable. I would recommend if you get into a crash and need your car fixed you drop it off at the nearest high school auto shop and let the students work on it before you put your life in these guys hands. Suspension work would be done with more integrity. read more

I've been wanting to tell you about my AWESOMEEE mechanic Ilya & his AMAZINGGG staff at In Collision, Inc. (http://www.incollisioninc.com on the web or https://www.facebook.com/InCollision on Facebook). He first specialized in collision services where we met him from a recommendation from our mechanic of when we were rear-ended a few years ago. When we found out that Ilya was also doing general car care we took our car, which looks even better now than before our accident, for an inspection because our mechanic of 10+ yrs kept me waiting with my 16 mo old in his small filthy waiting room for almost TWO hrs to do a 15 minute inspection! As you all know it's extremely difficult to keep your toddler from getting into anything and its usually everything!!! So when our other car inspection came due we didn't think twice and I brought it to In Collision Inc, instead. I didn't feel bad for leaving our old mechanic because he wasn't treating us as priority customers anymore & with 2 small children that is a HUGEEE consideration. At Ilya's you get the ROYAL treatment! They listen to your needs, make you feel important and the customer service is AMAZINGGG! Travis, their super friendly office manager is the absolute BEST! He is very nice, patient, knowledgeable, thorough & good-looking too! I didn't wait more than a 1/2 hour at Ilya's and not only did they inspect the car they washed & detailed it too!!! Yup! Included in EVERY service visit! They also brought to my attention some serious issues that needed to be addressed which now with 2 small children we want taken care of immediately! Safety takes priority these days! Always better safe than sorry. They have a VERY clean, warmly decorated and super comfortable waiting area including a wide screen TV, soda machine, hot and cold water dispenser current reading material & more! You won't want to leave! Their extremely courteous, very knowledgeable & helpful office manager Travis & service staff make you feel SOOO welcome. I have never enjoyed waiting for my car to be serviced as much as I do here! They also offer a return ride service when you drop off your car! SOOO convenient! And they sell YUMMYYY raw local honey too! You are definitely sitting in FIRST CLASS at this place! You know you've hit GOLD when you meet Ilya, a very accomplished, dedicated, hard working, friendly & trustworthy owner who offers you such a wonderful place for you to service your car. He also treats his valued employees with the utmost respect, kindness & generosity, the way he would want to be treated. This makes EVERYONE happy & well cared for! I can't say enough nice things about this man & his great business!!! He also has 3 young children! So he truly understands the parent's need for prompt, safe car care! Even the shop is extremely clean and very organized! Customer service is EVERYTHING these days especially being a Mom with young children, busy busy lives and less & less time. I ALWAYS feel at ease & worry free when something goes wrong AND SOOO EXCITED to bring my car in! I even think my car is excited too! LOL! You will certainly feel like you get your money's worth here & then some! They also meet or beat any competitors' prices! So you seriously can't go wrong! Never pushy, never dishonest, never dirty! Always informative, helpful and kind! You will leave feeling like a Queen (or a King)! For example: Recently a good friend had some seat belt issues & the dealer quoted her over $500 to replace it! I told her to take it to In Collision, Inc. and they fixed it for only $38 AND washed & detailed it too! SOOO AMAZINGGG! She is hands down taking her car here from now on! And other friends of ours have also switched their mechanic in a heartbeat after taking their car here! So YOU just have to bring YOUR car here too! I 150% guarantee that you won't EVER be disappointed because Ilya will make sure of that AND you'll NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE EVER AGAIN!!! Definitely a 10+ star rating in my book! So what are you waiting for?!? Give Ilya & his INCREDIBLE crew a call RIGHT NOW (716) 876-0421!!! I personally promise you won't ever regret it!!! Make sure you tell them Ti referred you!!! :) read more

In collision is great, they got my car finished in a timely matter and the paint looked amazing when they were done, they even buffed the car for me and brought it back to life, really great crew read more

Car repair is a tricky thing, and for the less mechanically-inclined individual, it's a nightmare finding a competent, straightforward, and honest garage. IN Collision & Auto Repair is just that. It's more of a doctor's office than a garage, and I mean that in a positive and sincere way. The waiting area is clean and organized (not something that concerns me particularly, but it may some people), and Dr. Travis has a wonderful lube rack-side manner. Travis is the service rep I talked with in more of a consultation rather than a hurried "Ya need this, this, this, and this. You're lookin' at a thousand bucks." He sat down with me for nearly half an hour to talk about a potential car purchase even though I was not a paying customer at the moment. I told him I was in the market for a car, wanted to run ideas by him, and get a feel for his shop. I left with a completely positive 'vibe' supported by the overwhelmingly positive reviews on this site and another reputable review site. Another positive characteristic of this shop is that they treat everyone with the same courtesy and professionalism, regardless of the fact that they are also a performance shop that performs work on higher end vehicles. As Dr. Travis mentioned, he does a lot of work for students and their budgetmobiles. It's the type of shop you can recommend to your kid sister or elderly neighbor without fear that they will be monatarily violated. Thanks, Dr. Travis! read more

I have a 2001 BMW 325i and was in an accident this winter. The right side of my car was in a very bad condition. IN COLLISION picked up my car and said that they will give me a call when it's done. When I went to pick up the car was spotless. The paint job looked like glass and the interior looked like it was new. Definitely the best shop in town. read more

I rarely write reviews but we had the best experience possible at IN collision. They helped us every step of the way and the process couldn't have been easier. We have two babies and they helped us with the rental car drop off and everything ! Sam called everyday to give me an update and the service was speedy. Couldn't have asked for more, honestly! read more

This place is THE BEST!! Seriously, don't go anywhere else! The staff, Scott in particular, are always so friendly, accommodating and they go out of their way to ensure amazing service. At some shops, I have felt like I was being fleeced, especially since I am a woman and know less than zero about automobiles, but that is definitely NOT the case here. These guys are all class, all the way!! read more

We brought my car in for an oil change and to inspect a noise that has been getting progressively worse that our last mechanic kept saying was fine. My car hadn't been driving smoothly since before I was in a car accident in 2017 (almost totaled). It just hasn't felt safe to me since the accident even with full collision work from another place. After four new tires, an alignment, and new front brakes, my car is driving like new again! I am so happy with the excellent workmanship they provide as well as their fantastic customer service. Travis even texted my husband the next day to check on the work. We're so happy we found them! read more

I took my mother's Range Rover Evoque to this establishment because some lights were turning on. They took forever to get back to me, I had to call them multiple times to get some vague answers about what they thought was going on. They called me to tell me that they needed to change two batteries and test a lot more things to know what the issue was and that it would be $4,000 - I quote 'to start'. We are two single women who do not know a lot about car reparation but we thought something was off, we asked a few people that told us it did not sound right. I took the car out as soon as I could and brought it a Range Rover, they called me within an hour and told me it was just a few debris behind a sensor; they charged me under $200. This place is a rip off, they take advantage of people who do not want to pay dealership prices and lie about repairs. The cars wait in the back for weeks and they pretend to work on them and charge for labor. Do not take your vehicle there. read more

Very happy with the work, Price was fair, time frame was good. People were knowledgeable and easy to deal with. I would definitely go back. I would send a friend there. read more

I cannot say enough good things about these guys! They're not intimidated to do work on obscure European cars, always friendly, always in communication, and as far as I can tell, very fair prices. I will continue to bring my cars to them as long as I'm anywhere near Buffalo. Great quality work every time. read more

Took my Mazda5 in for some work on the front suspension. Travis and the IN crew were very knowledgeable and took the time to show me exactly what was needed and why. These guys are easy to work with and went the extra mile to ensure I was happy with the service. It's nerve wracking when you discover there's a problem with your vehicle, which makes it so important to have a mechanic you can trust. That's why I'll be a return customer. read more

Excellent, attentive, and skilled. Each time we take our truck for routine check up for our 10+ Mercedes the service and care is consistent. We value these guys like family. They were able to find external parts and install them flawlessly. read more

I have been using this shop for 20 years and they are the best in Buffalo. They are way more professional, trustworthy, and affordable than any dealership or independent shop. Illya the owner really cares about every one of his customers and has always had the top mechanics and collision experts so that every job was done fast and perfect. They are the best choice for any type of automotive repair and the very best price as well. Everyone I sent hem thanks me. Read their Google reviews and see that there are 64 five star reviews, that is almost impossible to pull off unless you care about excellence and customer service. read more
