Brake repair service near Colden, NY

This shop had my car for 3 months and never fixed my issue. My car is still broke, same initial problem. I took him to court because I paid him 2469 to fix my car but it was never fixed. I won my case, ofc because he was just trying to take advantage of a young, black, single woman. However, he's appealing it just to be a dick. Because he knows exactly what he was doing. The judge obviously agreed. I honestly believe he's prejudice! But evil never wins, love will always prevail... remember that Ron!!!! My neighbor, who referred me to him, doesn't even do business with anymore because he paid him to fix his car but his car still had the same issue! My cousin, had the same exact problem, after a WHOLE YEAR he had to go take his car back still with the same issue! I'M WARNING YOU, IF YOU'RE A PERSON OF COLOR... DO NOT GO HERE!

First choice is the only place I would take my vehicles for repair. Finding an honest mechanic is very rare. Not only are these mechanics honest but their work is OUTSTANDING…..My 2003 Ford should have gone to the junk yard years ago but Jimmy and his guys miraculously continue to find ways of allowing this car to get me from point A to point B. Just last night; I was unable to start my car (the battery is 5 years old). Jimmy sent a driver immediately to my rescue. The battery was jumped and I was on my way. Of course I will only go to First Choice to have this battery replaced. Thanks again guys

I want to respond to the bad reviews listed above. First, go to Google and look up the 27 reviews which highly rate Syed,the shop owner, as the friendliest, most honest and best mechanic they have known. Second, go to Car-gurus and look at the near perfect 5 star reviews on this dealership. Ricky is close to perpetrating slander (libel) for writing a personal attack on someone by stretching the actual circumstance of his disappointment. He left a refundable $500 deposit subject to his finance approval. After securing his own financing, he told the dealer to proceed with the NYS Inspection repairs which required another $1000 investment by the dealer into the vehicle. This included fixing the check engine light which by NYS Law is required for all dealer inventory sold. After the repairs were completed, Ricky backed out of the deal because he lost his financing. The signed purchase order in NYS states the dealer is allowed to hold a deposit to recover $damages incurred by customer failure to complete purchase. Ricky agreed that it was fair for the dealer to keep his deposit until the vehicle was sold to another customer so that the invested repair $ could be recovered. Unfortunately due to the Pandemic of Covid 19 and business shutdown, it took many months to resell the vehicle. He has since received his $500 deposit back minus about $50 for paperwork and advertising cost damages which couldn't be recovered. $500 is a lot of money to both parties, especially when your dealership is closed for business during a pandemic.

I took my car in for NYS inspection because they advertised at $15. They disassembled my vehicle and told me I needed new brakes (rotors, drums, pads) and a new right front tie rod. Then they had the gall to quote it at over $700! I happen to know that these items cost around $100 in total. So they were charging $600 for about 2 hours of labor! This is not a classic/antique car, it's a little Hyundai. They just thought they could get one over on me, likely because I'm a female that they assumed knew nothing about cars. When I asked him to show me what was wrong, he acted exasperated and "showed me" some very questionable items in disrepair. Shame on this business. Buyers Beware! I told him to put my car back together so I could take it to an honest repair shop. All he got out of me was the $15!

Look elsewhere, this place has a lack of respect for your auto. They did paint repair to my car and it was nothing but a headache. OVERSPRAY!!! everywhere, interior carpet, door panel and exterior panels not being repaired!!! Didn't plug my headlight back in, door panel installed improper, missing body push pins, and worse of all BAD BLENDING OF PAINT!!. They offered to repair any issues but I told them first impression are everything and you failed miserably.. I took car to another shop to get thing fixed right. Oh yeah forgot to mention the paint started peeling on the edges after 2months, had a another guy look at it, they said no one sanded the surface down and that's why the paint is coming off. If you like your car or truck avoid this place at all costs!!

Watch out Ladies!!!! This place CHEATS women. They tell you things that are wrong with the car (that are really minor issues) but they tell you you need expensive overpriced repairs to try to get money out of you. A bunch of punks trying to be big shots in the car repair business.
