I had Jon and his team help preserve and bring back the luster on my barn find 1969 Volvo 1800S. (There was literal hay stuck in the carpets when I brought it in.) I appreciated the care and attention Areté gave my car. Jon was very communicative and forthcoming about potential problem areas given my car's age and pre-existing condition. I was beyond thrilled with the final result, and my car went on to win a trophy at a local car show just a few months later, in part due to the wonderful work they did. read more

I'm giving my car to my grandson. I wanted it to look like new. They exceeded my expectations. The car shined when I pulled into the parking lot. I opened the doors and the carpet looked better than it ever did. I was so excited I just wanted to show/tell someone. read more

Incredible work today on my 2020 Ford Expedition. This vehicle looked like we drove it off the lot! Already booked a complete detail on my Jeep Gladiator! Thanks Graham and team for immaculate work! read more

Thanks to yelp I found an closer, more affordable place to get my car detailed. I have a long commute and eat, drink and make all kinds of messes in my vehicle so the inside was a cluster when I brought it here. They managed to clean out all the crumbs, debris and doggie hair and make it look showroom new! Plus they offer free pick up/drop off service, and they are just a friendly group of people. It takes awhile to get an appointment there, but I'm not surprised because they offer a quality service at a reasonable price. I so appreciated how they didn't try to upcharge me and offer me a list of add-ons I should get like the chain places do. They don't have a parking lot, so I was puzzled about where to pull up. Turns out you can actually park on the sidewalk in front of the shop. I plan to be a repeat customer. read more

Excellent service with reasonable prices. They were happy to troubleshoot reasonably-priced ways to touch up a few scratches on my car. My car looked amazing after my detailing appointment. read more

Great service! Dropped my car at 1PM picked it up at 3Pm. It looks amazing! Jon is very welcoming, huge smile, very professional! Very happy to have picked them! You should too! Their reviews show that they are the best in Rochester and I agree! read more

I relied on the reviews here and chose to bring my new Buick in for a new vehicle protection application. I couldn't believe the difference when I picked it up!! Mind you, it's only 3 weeks old, but the shine on it was unbelievable!! It sure wasn't delivered looking like this!! Thank you to Jon and all of the very professional staff for making this the best I've ever seen a vehicle look!! read more

I can't say enough about Arete. I took my 2018 CR-V to them for inside detailing. I can honestly say it was a hot mess, from moving my mother to independent living, transporting kids, Christmas trees, and spilled coffee. I have been pretty much living in the car in recent months. They returned my car looking like it rolled out of the show room. I was thoroughly shocked they were able to restore the interior like this. I can't wait to take it back for the exterior!

I've been going to Arete for a little over a year and a half now. I started out with a couple older cars - a few PPF jobs and some light detail services. I just picked up a 2020 Subaru WRX and didn't think twice to take it back to them for a full front end PPF and ceramic coating. After a week of being in their hands the pictures attached show the end result. I couldn't be any happier with the car at this point. Their work is absolutely impeccable and they will go out of their way to ensure they deliver. Thanks again Jon and the crew at Arete Auto Salon! read more

Hands down, Arete is THE detail shop to take take your car to in Western NY. It's run by a small group of guys who love automobiles. They're not their to "upsell" you a worthless coating for ridiculous $$$ like the dealership does. Skip the dealership new car coating nonsense and bring your car here, and get it done by a professional with passion in a clean environment - not by a service tech in a garage looking to make commission. Bring in your old car and get it looking brand new again, inside and out. They are the only detail shop in Rochester I trust my car at. They did a 1-Step Paint Correction detail on my 2005 Civic. The car came out better than I imagined it would for being 10 years old with neglected paint. read more

I had someone back into my car and leave me with a large dent in my drivers door. I brought my car in for Arete for them to look at and see if they could pop out the dent and buff out the pretty deep scratch. They did incredible work. I couldn't believe it when I returned to pick up my car 2 hours later. It looked brand new. Arete ended up saving me a lot of money as the collision shop recommended a much more expensive repair that clearly was not needed. On top of the quick and amazing work they did the owners are great people. Easy to talk to and you can tell they are only out to help you and not sell you anything you don't need. Great place to go for dent work and buffing on top of everything else they do. I'll be giving out recommendations to friends and family whenever I can. read more

Dennis Buckley---10-22-2014 At 8200+ miles my wife's new C7 Corvette was showing light swirl marks and scratching from repeated washings. We wanted to get a complete paint correction and Opti-Coat application. We could not locate a shop in the Buffalo area to do the Opti-Coat so we brought it to Arete Auto Salon. We had them do a complete wheels off detail, paint correction, wheel cleaning, and Opti-Coat application on the exterior surfaces, door jambs, wheel spokes & barrels, and exhaust tips. The results are fantastic as displayed in their feature article about our car. We are completely satisfied with our experience at Arete Auto Salon and highly recommend them read more

There has not been a time I have visited these guys when their work has not amazed me. They have performed in depth washes and even coated my mk6 vw golf with their ceramic Cquartz finest coating. The coating makes caring for the car a dream and actually helps keep it clean much longer than it did when I used to simply wax it. From serious car enthusiasts to just an average person looking to clean up your ride, these are the right guys to see. I personally wouldn't trust anyone else more! read more
