Auto repair service near North Granville, NY

Arthur"s Auto is the best !! Roy is a consumate professional who takes great pride in his work and is very good at it HI drove an hour and a half on a Saturday to insure the radiator he restored fit and worked properly. I have been in this restoration of vintage auto's for years and Roy is one of the best. I am happy to drove almost 2 hours to have Roy work on my truck, he is worth it.

My daughter bought an used car from Victory last month, she only just made her first payment on the vehicle they had the nerve to sell to a 20 year old naive girl! The engine blew up on her, I spoke to the mechanic where the car was towed to, he explained to me that it needs a new engine, water pump, caliper leaking, he drained the oil and it was filled with metal shavings from the engine! Besides the passenger window not being able to go up and down, but that was not included in the estimate. My daughter was so distraught and crying, so I called Victory and spoke with Brian, the proud owner, I asked what he would do on my daughter's behalf? NOTHING! Pretty much, tough luck, them the breaks and no I will not take back the piece of crap I sold her! Brian did say he thought the mechanic's estimate of over $6000 for repairs was a "ripoff" since he could go to a junkyard and get an engine for 500 bucks. Apparently that is what he did to make this heap of junk road wordy, it did have a savage title. Brian also lied to my daughter saying he drove the vehicle up from Ct, but upon my investigation online I saw he bought it at an auction. Brian and his used cars are a danger, he will sell you unsafe cars for a buck, he doesn't car if your child is behind the wheel. I warn you, you deal with him you lose your money and maybe even your life with the unsafe vehicles he sells! and there is no zero star rating, he is subhuman with a sub-rating! pass this creep by!

Just wanted to share my quick story...I was traveling from home (Rutland, Vt) to my friend's house in Niskayuna, NY on Friday, August 8th. When I was 1 hour and ten minutes into my trip my car started to feel like there was some hesitation. Then I could smell that terrible rubber smell and I was like "seriously"? I pulled over at the Fire station just to check things out. Now I only checked the driver's side tire because of an incident that happened long ago with the caliper sticking. But nothing. So I continue on down the road and things aren't getting any better. I just happened to see a garage on my left with the doors open. I had driven by it and had gotten to my first light and suddenly I was up in smoke....Front passenger side. I pull over and I'm in panic mode. I have no one with me except my little dog and friends and family are an hour or so away. Now I am really anxious and panicky. I turn around and go back to this garage " Combs Automotive" . As soon as I walk in, I explain my story and I apologize that it is now 5 pm on a Friday and most people would be closing up shop to enjoy the weekend. But not Krissy and Chris. They took the time out to help me and "Big Red" (what I call my car) so that I would be able to continue my trip. Now I could have turned around and gone home but it was a pretty special weekend for me and a couple college girlfriends. So it was important for me to continue on. Chris did what he could at the time to get my car in working order and I was so grateful. Krissy kept me and my dog company in the nice cool office. After almost an hour, I was on my way and told them I would check in on Monday to see if they could fit me in to their schedule to replace the parts that had to be fixed completely. On Monday, I was told to come in around 3:30 pm. Given my OCD (lol) , I left Niskayuna at 2:15 pm so that I could get to Gansevoort early just in case parts had to be ordered. I rolled into Combs Automotive at 3 pm and I was on my way home at 4 pm. I know I said this was a quick story, but boasting about a great business should never be a quick story. I wanted to let all my friends know and Krissy and Chris to know that I appreciated the wonderful service I received and that you two are the friendliest people I have ever met in the auto repair service. I would recommend anyone in the area to choose your shop for service and to anyone who finds themselves in a pickle~ like me~ to stop and see you. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hope to see you again soon! (on better terms) LOL Sincerely, Jodi Gibeault Rutland, VT
