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. :)

(It's VERY…read moredifficult to find a mechanic wanting to do this work on these cars & more difficult to hear a reasonable estimate to expect if I find anyone) To start I was very impressed with phone service. Pleasant & patient every time someone answered or returned my call. Though I ended up not getting the work done as he looked ever & communicated other concerns on the car it was as pleasant an experience possible beginning to end starting with a very reasonable quote on the work & patience as I priced the cost specific (body) work they don't do, They have great reviews to start with so I'm confident I would be pleased with the work. I would & will consider them for similar work in the future should I need it despite the extra distance. They do offer a wool wax procedure to protect underneath cars to protect from rust corrosion. Seems a well worth investment considering cost of replacing parts.

For a headlight!!! John had it fixed in 15 minutes while we waited, for a fraction of the other estimate. And he fixed a burned-out backup light as we were leaving at no charge. Finding a good mechanic you can trust? Priceless.

This place is the BEST! My sister and I went in and told Doug what we're looking for and how much…read morewe could spend. It's a vehicle that's not all that commonly available in this part of the country, and our price limit was right at the limit of what would be reasonable. He listened to us very carefully, asked lots of important questions, then set out on what can only be properly described as a "quest" -- and FOUND exactly what we were looking for! He was able to negotiate a great deal on it for us, then brought it back to the shop. This is where it gets even more wonderful, because the shop is known for being owned and operated by a mechanic with a sterling personal reputation and professional credentials, having trained in a shop up in Guilford, VT that is literally known as the very best one in the whole area. They assured us they'd go through and fix anything and everything on the vehicle that needed tweeking or repair before we picked it up, to make sure it was up to THEIR standards of excellence -- and that the price would not go above our limit even if they had to eat some of the cost. They explained this is because they shopped for the vehicle with their mechanical expertise, so if it cost more to fix it was that they'd assessed it wrong and should make good on it. Well, long story short, we took delivery of exactly the used vehicle we wanted, in perfect shape, looking like it came off a showroom floor, and it's everything we could have dreamed and hoped for. In the process, we found a mechanic we'll use and trust from now on, and made friends to boot! It's not easy to find a really superior mechanic and shop that has a personal value system based on ethics of doing what's right. Green River Auto is that place! And if you want a used car, I honestly do not see how you can do ANY better than you will if you go talk to Doug there. If he can't find it for you, it's not available. I've lived all over the country, from Texas to California and back again, and I have NEVER found a shop like this one, and never even imagined a person like Doug existed. He's literally come up with a whole new wonderful way to buy a used car you can count on, rely on, and be overjoyed with.

Chris has taken incredible care of us over the last three years. Today he made his second house call and changed out my battery. His prices are always reasonable, and he's super responsive.

My catalytic converter was replaced at Leon in Feb 2025 at 160,318 miles. It started to leak in April 2026 at 172,001 miles. It was still under warranty. Shippee Auto flagged the leak and said I should go back to Leon to have it replaced. Leon checked the leak on 5/15/26, confirmed it was coming from the other catalytic converter (the much less expensive one), and wrote me an estimate for work I did not need. I went back to Shippee's for something else, and they confirmed for a second time that the leak is coming from the catalytic converter Leon replaced. Anita Wilson, Consumer Protection Coordinator at the Northwestern District Attorney's Office, agreed to take the case. Ben, the owner of Leon L Sirum Co Inc, spoke to Anita on August 12th. He said he would work with me on the warranty, but I would have to find a way to get the part to him. The problem is I live 5 hours away now, and I already made the trip for him to tell me the leak wasn't in the part he replaced. Ben said the reason I have to transport the part is the negative reviews I posted about his business. He stated to Ms. Wilson that he personally looked at my vehicle and that he did not do anything wrong. If he did not do anything wrong, why would he be willing to work with me on the warranty of a part he claims he did not replace? Instead of doing the right thing, he tried to leverage the removal of my negative review to get me to transport the part to his shop. I agreed to remove the review after the issue was settled, and not before. That was not good enough for Ben. Instead, he wanted me to transport the part myself or remove the negative reviews without any guarantees that the warranty would cover the cost of the work.
