Julie & her husband Ken is so nice and super professional! I'm getting a couple of major things…read moredone and some minor things as well. My exhaust was the first thing I've had done and I'm scheduled to get my struts and breaks fixed a little later! I just want to start off with how much they are working with me to get these things done. I'm not rich at all and if I had a stable job I would have loved to take them up on there offer with the credit options. But luckily, they know how to prioritize what needs fixing and scheduled me out for when I'll have the money to have those things fixed. Secondly, I want to point out how fast they got the job done! Julie had told me to bring it in so that they could diagnose the problem for me and that they could schedule me next week if I decided to get it fixed with them. Well, sure enough I bought it in on Friday morning, that same morning they were able to tell me what was wrong and the same day they ordered the parts and got it fixed! I literally got my car back at 3pm and genuinely did not expect that! I saw a sign in their shop and it said that they value their time, well I guess they also value everyone else's time too! I don't want to get into the free things that they did for me because I don't want anyone trying to come rip these lovely people off, but I do want to say the things that they did for me, that they had every right to charge me for, has let me know that I'm dealing with some really good people and has made this place my go-to spot! These are good hard working people who respects the customers that comes through their shop, no matter if you have a lot of money or not! The prices are absolutely doable and they don't pressure you if you can't do everything right then in there! Lastly, I just want to point out that I am a single black woman and the reason I bring up my race and gender is because we all know it matters, especially when it comes to mechanics! But Temstad didn't make me feel judged nor taking advantage of whatsoever! They were so welcoming and knowledgeable! Not only did they triple check my car but they explained every decision & priority to me. I really love that they weren't condescending because I don't know a thing about cars. They simply just explained it so I can understand the what and why! Like I said, as long as Temstad is open & will have me, they will now be my go to place!

For the last 30+ years, I have had my car repairs done at a shop where I knew the owner and knew the owner cared about me. I have referred family, friends and associates. They have all been pleased with both the quality and cost of repairs, as well as the friendly family atmosphere at the repair shop. This is a wonderful business and I would recommend anyone with car repair needs to contact Dick Schrader at Schrader's Garage, 686 Clinton Avenue South, 585-271-5179. Jack K

Fred- Owner, Mike- Head Mechanic and the guys were awesome fixing my wife's 2017 GMC in 1- week!…read moreCalled the Owner Fred on a Friday and the Next morning He towed the truck back to his shop. Found out the Torque Converter had been wearing out for a while (clunking feel like bad u-joints at stop and go) and at just under 118K miles decided to finally give out slipping through gears sending metal throughout. Mike installed a better than OEM re-manufactured transmission along with Pump and Torque Converter. They could've stopped there, but they suggested to prevent from suffering the same problems in the future to re-program the Torque Converter lockup from the factory programmed lower gears (which increases MPG, but sacrifices longevity) to 5th and 6th gear. They ditched the GM 195 degree thermostatically controlled fluid circulation valve and installed a free flowing one to keep the Transmission fluid temps consistently 50+ degrees cooler (heat kills transmissions), programmed an increase in fluid line pressures to reduce wear on the clutches and deactivated the 4 to 8 cylinder shutdown programming that causes stress on the engine and transmission leading to other catastrophic failures ( we sacrifice a couple miles per gallon, but get piece of mind in the future longevity of the equipment). I was worried things would be broken in the process of working on the truck, but after inspecting it, these guys did a great job putting the exhaust, cross member, shift linkage and all the hardware back together with a 1-year/12,000 mile warranty. It's hard to find guys that do great work anymore. I wish them the best of luck in recently acquiring/consolidating their business in their new location at Airport Transmission. I have referred everyone I know that has a GM Pickup to at least go there and have the guys install the Transmission Fluid Bypass Valve along with reprogramming the transmission/engine prior to it deteriorating to the point of my wife's truck. It's upsetting General Motors sacrifices longevity of their product to gain a couple more miles per gallon in fuel mileage.

Had a transmission put in a vehicle. Immediately the following day when I put the car in drive it…read morewouldn't move. Finally figured out that the car had to be FULLY warmed up before it would move. Called the shop and was told the car was fine that every car needed to be warmed up. (Smh). Let them know to make a note that there were issues immediately. 16,000 miles and 3 months later (yes a bit over the warranty) the transmission went. Called the shop and they claimed to find the issue and fixed it and wanted me to pay $900. Two weeks later and After unnecessary and ugly going back and forth they agreed to take care of it "in good faith with no warranty." Not even 100 miles later the transmission went again which I'm assuming was "in good faith" also. Now in the beginning when they originally replaced the transmission, you'd like to believe you got a decent product and can get at least a year out of a transmission. Not here, they either clearly don't know what the hell they're doing or they are just blatantly robbing people seeing as how this seems to happen a lot given the reviews. Being a small business owner I was willing to deal with having to warm the work car up before it would move simply for the fact that I couldn't afford to be down that vehicle for another 2 long dragged out weeks waiting for a fix that shouldn't be needed in the first place. They insisted the car was fine and test driven before it was finished. You'd think they would've seen the gps tracker in the car that showed the "test drive" all of 0.6 miles. Stay far away from this place. They'll be out of business soon. Ended up having an awesome shop replace the transmission and will be recommending them to any and everyone who would like amazing service!

But, my tailgate latch was jammed. I thought it needed a bit of lubricant, or HD 40. Living right down the street from B and B I decided to stop and ask them for a bit of help, advice versus going all the way out to Van Bortel. I went in and asked the attendant for a bit of help and he immediately got some lubricant and came out. We managed to get the tailgate open but there was still a problem. I asked him if I owed him anything he said no! I was impressed. This was old fashion service. B and B automotive has been around a long time, they know the car business.I would highly recommend them. I ended up taking my truck to Van Bortel for repairs, glad I got the warranty.

Another time I went in for advice and as I drove away he waved me down, said he smelled something different and had me pop the hood to check for a leak. He didn't see anything, but I'm grateful that he took the time. I've brought my vehicle there a handful of times and always great service and I never feel like I'm being overcharged.
