-
D & B Auto service (Southwedge) - Was recommended to me.
-
Universal Imports is a full-service automotive business (sales and service) working with "fine automobiles —mainly German cars: Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche—with a feel something like a dealer. I went to them with my VW GTI because their quote was only marginally more than the others, but they specialize in German cars. I think I'll be inclined to choose some place closer next time, since it's a bit of a long bike ride out to their shop. (-: I would have liked to have had closer contact with the mechanic instead of talking with a service representative, but the quality of work seems fine.
-
Vail Automotive (Southwedge) - These guys were recommended to me by two different people. Haven't tried them though.
2005-11-13 13:01:52 Comment R6 —JonPetruccelli - Integrity Auto Repair - Small auto shop I've been using since the summer. They seem honest and straightforward, and get things fixed in a timely fashion.
2005-11-20 10:29:50 Comment R7 —Ry - Schrader's - I have a professor who has been going to this guy for decades.
2005-12-16 16:37:00 Comment R9 —MikeThomas - I've been going to Vail for years now, they are trustworthy and friendly.
2005-12-19 02:39:09 Can anyone recommend a good muffler (exhaust system) shop? —TobinFricke
2005-12-20 15:12:20 Comment R13 —TobinFricke - Tom & Paul's Tire Trax Inc - Was recommended to me by RossHattori)
2006-08-13 20:41:21 Comment R18 —MaxPakhutkin - Vail Automotive - Had them inspect my car and replace worn out tires. Good service. They seem to be a little too small for the amount of business they get, so call in advance to find out about availability.
2006-08-14 21:26:53 Comment R20 —MrPhil - Veteran's Garage - Fast, friendly and efficient.
2006-12-12 23:16:32 Comment R26 —GirtsFolkmanis - Vail Automotive - I've only had good experience with them.
2007-01-22 15:14:04 does anyone know where can I find a place that does custom/modify works? suspension change dyno etc? —ChrisLee
2007-03-24 15:55:47 Comment R33 - —ChrisLauretano - Vogel's Collision - They're very nice until you call them for messing up their work. My car in in shambles and they keep giving me the run around. Post collision repairs need to made the car perfect, not sorta almost perfect. They left out a bunch of clips on underbody covers, misaligned the new front bumper, and the paint on my hood and bumper looks like they did it with a rattlecan. I know they are capable of decent work with the equipment they have, but I MUST say to avoid them at all costs as they are making my life a living hell right now. They think they can push me around because I'm only 21, but they're wrong.
2007-05-26 12:33:43 Comment R36 —TomNichols - UNeedA Tire Shop - Took me forever to find this place (b/c of the weird name) but they sell used tires by tread depth, starting at $20+. Great when you just need that car to pass inspection!
2007-07-12 15:20:23 It might be helpful to organize this page by town/suburb. —AlexanderGartley

2007-08-21 22:39:41 Comment R56 —GeorgeHaberberger - The Wire Wheel - We've been using them for years, through 7 cars.
2007-11-30 09:51:55 Comment R59 - -DarrenKemp - Rochester Collision - I second the high recommendation, best collision experience I've ever had. Great rates and honest people.

East Ave Auto - My neighbors swear by this garage, but I've never used them myself as I go all the way down to Rush for Townline Garage's services.
-
Townline Garage - Small auto shop I've been using since 1990, when they were located on Brighton-Henrietta Townline Rd., where the porn video store is located now. Very honest, not patronizing to women, excellent for tires and exhaust and suspension work, plus the regular automobile repairs. The chief mechanic, Steve, is an MCC graduate, and the owner's son also is a certified mechanic; both are very good. Talk to Brian.
2008-11-10 08:56:55 Comment R77 —CamDube - Marketview Heights Garage - Seem friendly, haven't done anything major with them - yet.
2009-04-28 15:33:42 Comment R92 - —DavidPascal - Browncroft Garage -Voted #1 in a City Magazine poll. These guys rule. Best car shop in town, especially for hybrids.
2009-07-17 20:34:07 Comment R95 - Dan McDonald Automotive - Highly Recommended by PeteB
2010-12-06 12:04:16 Does anyone have recommendations for a GOOD, RELIABLE shop that does remote starter installations for a reasonable price? I've read multiple, separate accounts — horror stories — from installations that went bad at Ziebart, Best Buy, and even the dealership (getting ripped off).
Thanks! —mychen

Mychen—I recommend Tim's Trim 100% for remote starter. They're reasonably priced and dependable. I've been working with them for 20+ years and absolutely think they'd be the best for you. -PeteB
