Auto Repair in Hornell, NY

“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!!!”

“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.”

“Repeat customer here! Gerber Collision is my go-to for body work. They are friendly, efficient, and—most importantly—considerate of my wallet. If you’ve got animal damage or need repairs, this is the place to go.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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 !”

“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!”

“Overpriced but they did a great job in a timely fashion and also let me know about a few other things they seen while they were under the truck and didn’t try to upsell me new parts also awnsered all
My questions and treated me decent..I would really recommend these guys”

“Life saver. We had a nail in our tire traveling. We got to Salamanca and the tire got a nail and went out and then the front went out. With a can of fix a flat and a donut we got back to our house in Hornell and took it in the next day. They popped 4 new tires on it without an appointment with a rarer size and for a good price! Competitors wouldn’t have had them in stock for a few days. Why 4? The other 2 were balding and best to just get her all done. To note the wait for a few days here would not usually an issue as far as competitors but it was this time because my kiddos go to school in KY. So we had to get them back without missing much more class! And safer now. Thanks!”
