“Drove 7 hours from Massachusetts on a whim to check out a truck listed for sale at Alfred Auto center, and honestly could not have been happier with the purchase. In a world full of sleazy car salesmen i was pleasantly surprised upon meeting the owner. Eddy is awesome, honest, straightforward and actually cares about the quality of the vehicles being sold, all priced very appropriately. Thanks again Ed!”
“Was in the area over the President’s Day Holiday (2024) doing a college visit with my wife and daughter. Driving back to our hotel from the school, the dreaded CHECK ENGINE!!! light came on and the car (2007 Toyota Highlander started to hesitate. Wife and daughter went on-line trying to find either a dealer or a AAA approved garage nearby, no luck.
Started looking at garages in Hornell and Star Automotive came up with outstanding reviews. I took the chance and nursed the car there. It was after 4 PM and they closed at 5. Went in and explained the problem. Owner/Manager came right out with his OBD scanner, and it indicated a misfire, that coupled with my explanation of the hesitation indicated to him a bad ignition coil. He pulled another car out of a bay to put ours in, confirmed it was a bad coil, called his parts supplier and had us back on the road before close.
We made it back home, over 300 miles, in fine shape. If we lived in the area, Star Automotive Services would be our mechanic. THANK YOU GUYS!!!”

“Extremely friendly, super knowledge, 100% recommend to anyone!!! They helped me buff out a scratch and change my coolant same day and saved the day before my road trip! These guys rock.”
“I called Fran on Tuesday to get new muffler and duels put on my truck. I dropped it off Wednesday night and it was done by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday.
Quality job, truck sounds amazing and looks awesome.
I'd recommend Fran to anybody”
“I was reluctant to go there yesterday for an inspection because of my last inspection experience but yesterday reminded me of K&K of old. My friend went with me again and before we even opened the door we could see a difference. My friend thought it was new owners and even asked but it is still K&K. The only differences I know of are that a person has retired, a person has been hired, and the person taking care of you is different and refreshing. As for the reception area, it is on par with dealerships and large automotive establishments. My husband has been a mechanic for 34 years so as long as his health and the health of his family and friends hold out he will do his own work but as for inspections they have our repeat business and hopefully after reading this review yours also.”
“I took my van for a routine oil change and they were very quick getting the vehicle in right at my appointment time. The oil was done in about 20 minutes total and they were friendly”

“I’ve known about RJ Cars for several years and have always been impressed with the quality of the restoration work they perform. I’m deep into the restoration of my 68 Dart and needed some pointers for dealing with sheet metal and bodywork issues. Russ graciously allowed me to stop in and tour the shop, and had Jacob walk me through the work they’re currently doing on the ‘70 Dart. Jacob pointed out in detail things that I should be aware of and help me with questions about various materials they use. Russ and Jacob took the time to answer all my questions and were a huge help to me. I enjoyed looking at the other projects in the shop and am amazed by quality of their work. Thank you again Russ for taking the time out of your busy day to give me a hand!”
“Always tries and does his best in getting our truck fixed, goes in for 1 thing, usually finds another, he doesn't oh make another appt , he tries to get the parts and get you on your way. Doesn't rip you off on labor like alot of other garages.”
“I work out of here. I'm not real fond of the equipment, it's old and a lot of it doesn't work very well... But the people! Where do I start? Professional, courteous and respectful, so easy to get along with. If they could afford better equipment, I would finish out my career with this gig. The staff at Arkport Truck Repair are great people. Shout out to Tim, Paul, Tammy, John, Rhonda, and Dennis. Keep up the good work, people.”
“After changing out a flat tire on the side of the road, I gave Lamac’s a call to see if they could get me in for a tire patch because I was far from home. They made room, got me in, and had me out pretty quickly, even though they were backed up. So grateful for these guys! True heroes of the day!”
“Positively amazing. My daughter goes to college nearby this shop and we are 2 hours away. She got into a minor fender bender and they went above and beyond to accommodate and assist her. What could have been a stressful situation was quickly resolved with kindness and assistance. Definitely recommend. Five stars all the way!!”
“Smiths is a very honest, up front auto body man. He is a very good guy and so are his employees. He gave a very fair quote. And I would recommend him to everyone any one. He's so amazing!!!!!”
“My son goes to school in Alfred. His Jeep wouldn’t start and after many failed attempts to jump the battery, he called Stewart’s for tow and potential repair. A gentleman showed up (maybe John) and got the vehicle started with a jump pack. He had my son follow him back to the shop where he ran a few other tests and determined that he needed a new battery. The battery was replaced at a very reasonable rate and there was no charge for the trip out to the school. My son said that everyone was very nice and helpful.It’s great to know that are still honest people still out there that won’t overcharge a niave college kid!”
“Maple City Dodge to the rescue ! I live over 100 miles away and my engine blew out at Swain Ski Resort. I met the owners of MCD at the resort and they said they would help me out. My vehicle was towed to their business. Even though it was a Chevy, they got the engine replaced and the Bill was below the original estimate, and completed ahead of schedule (which saved me a tremendous amount of time and money). The car performance is excellent as I tested it on the Hills of 36N. I can't thank them enough for their kindness and expertise ! The only other option I had was to scrap the vehicle. Now I will get a few more years of use thanks to them !”
“The team at monro is always so pleasant and professional. Tom is always my go to guy because he takes the time to explain what is wrong with my vehicle and what he plans on doing to fix the issue. Even when they are busy they seem to get me in and out without any problems! Awesome shop!”
“I have to share a review. I tried the Walmart auto shop for the first time. I needed a battery and the low prices for my replacement was simply amazing. It would have been double or even triple the price anywhere else. Some people said don't go there but the service techs were helpful and polite.You'll need to quit complaining about in and out not fast enough.These guys are doing the best they can they get busy sometimes.I told them take your time, I walked around and my car was done in an hour and a half. So what ? That's why you get a battery for 75 bucks, installed.Give em a break !”
“Edit in reply to staff: I definitely get that you guys are busy and had come to accept that leaving a message and waiting for a call back is to be expected but I can't even leave a message most of the time. I live out of town but since I own the vehicle my family member drives (who lives in Almond), I try to call to get pricing and schedule it for them since I am paying. All good though. Thanks.
We had some work done here. It got done quick and for decent price. But you can't ever get a hold of them. Been calling for a week and I get their voicemail which is always full.”
