I live I Rochester, NY. My son is in college in Boulder, His car needed towing and ended up at The Auto Repair Place. I dealt with Mike over the phone from NY. He was professional, courteous and thorough when describing the car problems. Given the age of the car, Mike thought it might not be worth fixing. Since I was in another state, I appreciated his honesty when he could have tried to sell me more services. When my son gets another car he will be taking it to The Auto Repair Place for service.

Gas stations are an aspect of modern life that we take for granted. A major obstacle to the expansion of automobile usage at the beginning of the century was the lack of gas stations - people didn’t buy cars if they couldn’t fill them up, and nobody wanted to build a gas station if there were no car owners around to use it. Prior to service stations, gasoline had to be purchased at pharmacies, and later could be obtained at hardware stores and blacksmith shops. In 1913, in response to the mass production and widespread availability of the Model-T Ford, Gulf opened the first drive-in fuel service station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Soon after, another station opened in Seattle, and over the next several years gas stations became common across the nation. Over the course of the last century, gas stations have become part of the scenery; you probably never imagine a world without them. Fuel service stations are a huge aspect of modern life, immeasurably impacting billions of lives around the globe.

No reason to bring your vechile anywhere else! I recently purchase a cheaper older car and did not expect th extent of issues that it had. Paul and Mike realized I was in a hard situation and they not only did a great job getting everything fixed, they work with me everywhere they could and really helped me out. Great work. Great people and I didn't have to shop around because I knew I could rely on them but I'm sure they were best price too! - Chris T. (5 star review on Yelp)
