Colonial Motors

They got my hotshot trailer wheel bearing fixed and back on the road same day. Can't say enough good things about these guys. Phil is old school and gets it done.

Repair shop- DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I was there to look at a car for sale and asked if they work on mufflers. Before I knew it they were putting my car up to look at it. The mechanic showed me what was wrong and I agreed...he seemed nice. Then the guy who runs the garage looked up the part I needed, tried to sell me additional parts and then told me he was going to charge me for the evaluation. I can’t believe I gave him $60. Of course I found 2 other places that were cheaper and nicer so I got it done elsewhere. I hope they make enough on charging people for estimates that they can pay the mechanics. Apparently it’s not enough to keep the place clean.

Live in Upstate New York. Needed to drive 4 hours to this shop. I looked at then test drove for 10 miles a used car they were advertising and selling. Purchased in cash the car by my 16 year old son. Used a car dolley to tow the car back home 4 hours. Took the car to my mechanic to look over and give it a New York state inspection. To my surprise my 16 year old son was punched in the throat by this shady shop call Colonial Motors. We were told that they put a lot of money into this car to make it legally safe and drivable. They told us this car would be a great vehicle for him. Safe and reliable. Once the car was put on the lift by my mechanic he noticed the rear tires were dry-rotted on the inner side walls. Something I would not be able to inspect without having it on a lift. Further ins

Bought a farm truck from them years ago and have continued to take it in for service there. Recently had a bunch of work done ($1400 estimate). Show up to pick up the vehicle and bill was $1800. We paid and politely asked them to ask the manager or boss to try to be reasonable since the bill was $400 more than estimate, which is very significant. They never called me back, or refunded any of the extra services they did without asking, even after many years of loyalty... Looks like the only way to get anyone's attention these days is to leave a negative review of their business. We'll see if this works .

I came in with a tire that kept losing air. It turned out that it had a bad sensor. They wanted to charge me $94 for the part and roughly $110 for the labor. I knew that was too much, so I went outside and called another mechanic to see what they would charge. The other mechanic said they charge $75 for the part, and $15 for the labor, standard. When I came back inside and asked for them to put the tire back on, all of a sudden the man offered to take $40 off the price, which still would have cost me significantly more than the $90 the other mechanic ended up charging me. I don't know if they try to take advantage of everyone like this, or if they thought they could get away with it because I look young and I'm a woman. The bottom line is, I will never do business with them again. I do not
