One minor issue I had in the past was when I had a gas leak, Don had told me that he thought I should just sell my car because it would end up costing too much to fix it, and they don’t usually work on cars as old as mine there. (Of course I thought that was a very strange comment for a mechanic shop to say, and for people like me who don’t have money for another car, we have to fix what we have. I wasn’t too happy about his seemingly unenthusiastic demeanor to help me). Ultimately, I just let that comment go. I had found somewhere else local to replace my gas tank at a much more affordable price and who at least seemed like they wanted to help me.
Words alone cannot express the delight our family has experienced in the over three decades of service at their place. Honest, Professional and Friendly to mention a few.....Keep up the good work!
In the end when I went to pick up the car, the lady at the front desk seemed to think it was weird for my mom to ask if they could show us the old part. (Tip: It’s always best to have mechanics show you the old parts, and show you the work they did on your car, just to prove that they actually replaced them, there are some rip offs out there who will tell you they fixed something when they didn’t. And any decent shop will show you the old parts and new parts replaced without a problem, even without you asking).
Bill is a Super Disrespectful and Rude Owner! I can’t believe it.
After I was able to have the very nice mechanic show me the work he did, I also asked him if the pump was working well and had no leaks and he said no, that it was perfectly fine.
No place else to take your car but here... If you want it done right the first time.
Honest repair shop. Friendly people. Would be 5 stars if they had nicer waiting area.
To make this long story a bit shorter...in the end my car was still making the noise. I was told I could bring it in this week to be dropped off and checked, but when I got there Bill told me I needed my steering fluid pump replaced without even looking at my car. I asked to have the mechanic who worked on my car check it again thoroughly because he told me there was nothing wrong with the pump the last time. Bill gave me an attitude right away and started raising his voice at me that I shouldn't have brought in my own part because that's not how they do business there, gave me a quote for about $200 in labor to have the pump replaced, plus said I would have to pay for the pump. Finally let me bring my car to the front of the garage, the nice mechanic looked at it again, he told me that he could just flush the steering fluid through that maybe it was just dirt buildup in the pump. Bill kept complaining it was the pump and my mom asked him why they didn't tell me that the first time then. Then he was yelling at both my mom and I being defensive repeating I shouldn't have brought my own part to save money etc. I told him I didn’t appreciate him being rude and giving me and my mom an attitude raising his voice, and that I’ve been a returning customer for years and never had a major problem, and I told him he’s certainly going to lose all of his customers if he talks to them like that, it’s very unprofessional. I went right inside to talk to the lady at the desk to ask for the manager, and she told me that Bill is the owner. I couldn’t believe it, I told her the whole story right in front of their other customers, hopefully that warned them about Bill’s lousy attitude.
I turned on and steered my car and noticed it still made the noise. (This noise always went away when I would refill the fluid when it had the leak). Went back inside, talked to Bill, and he told me that it should stop making the noise after I drive the car a few days to let the fluid run through, if not that I would need to probably replace the steering fluid pump.
Recently purchased Michelin Premier tires for as vehicle I own. Billy mentioned his staff noticed some of my rims were bent. Offered to remount and balance once I brought with new rims. Great customer service and fair pricing. As long as I live in the area this will be my go to for tires.
(My full review is on their Facebook page, as it unfortunately doesn't fit on Google, so I will just summarize here).
I went in to Fishkill Tire & Auto Repair last Monday to get a steering fluid leak repaired. A family member told me it was the pressure line leaking, so I purchased the part at AutoZone ahead of time. I asked Fishkill Tire if it was ok for me to bring the part I purchased, and they said it was fine. Everything was looked over and they said I needed a return line too. I asked if the steering fluid pump was good and had no leaks and they said it was perfectly fine.
I won't return!
