Hello, My name is Jeremy and I have a 2008 Frontier I was…read moregifted 5 years ago. It's been a great truck, but it started to have slipping issues recently. I didn't know who to talk to and I was worried about whether or not I could fix my truck or whether I would need to get a different one. I reached out (via Yelp) to about 6 shops in the Rochester area. Before this experience, I had heard the name AAMCO, but I had no idea how great they really are. Simply put, AAMCO is great and Shaun is awesome. I made my request on a Friday night and within an hour of sending my request (via Yelp), Shaun gave me a call. We talked on the phone a bit and he quickly shed light on what my scenarios could be for repairing any issues with my truck's transmission. He was able to alleviate and mange my stress about the situation with a simple phone call. We then scheduled a cost-free diagnostic and test drove my truck together. It was great to have that experience -- Shaun was so friendly, knowledgable, and supportive. We scheduled a rebuild of my transmission and everything went as Shaun had described. He also called and gave updates as he said he would. The whole repair process took about 5 days. Please know that during all of this I finally did hear back from other shops and without even seeing my truck, those shops came in with prices that were considerably much more expensive. I feel that AAMCO does great work and that Shaun makes the whole process run smoothly and without a hitch. Thank you Shaun!

Informative technicians, friendly atmosphere and good prices for the work! Will be getting my…read morebusiness from now on.

I bring my Van, truck and car to Pat's Radiator & Automotive when needed…read more This has been my to go auto shop for my vehicles; fast service, honest and reliable. They will ask you if there is anything extra needed. I like the sitting area and the fresh coffee, hot chocolate and tea. Friends and family members have been referred to this shop because of their quality work and honesty. I trust that when my sister and mother come here they will be treated the same quality, respect and honesty.

I would avoid this shop at all costs. A full description of all issues is beyond reasonable length…read morefor a review, overall I found this shop and ownership to be untrustworthy, unknowledgeable, and incredibly dishonest on more than one occasion. got a $900 quote for a driveshaft replacement that turned into a $1400 job after several days of delay and no updates. the job only needing less than a handful of hours was originally estimated to be completed same day, and while delays can happen not only was I not updated of any delay, every time I called for updates after their time estimates had passed I was told the vehicle was actively being worked on which I now find likely to be untrue. within days/weeks of having the repair made my vehicle went to a mechanic for an unrelated issue and was determined immediately with a visual inspection my vehicle needed extensive frame repair. The repairs were so dire the vehicle was immediately deemed unsafe and this second mechanic refused to even examine the vehicle further stating it was beyond atleast reasonable repair. These damages were not only never mentioned to me by pats auto prior to service but i received and entire stack of paperwork outlining damages, repairs and other suggested maintenance work that should be done on my vehicle, including rust protection to the frame!! When confronted with this issue the owner informed me they do frame repairs in house and before issuing my requested refund wanted to take a look at the vehicle in attempt to make said repairs to get the vehicle back on the road for atleast a somewhat reasonable amount of time. After hearing the owners plans and estimated longevity for the frame repairs I consented provided they would be suitable to pass a nys inspection and at this point the owner declined to do any work stating the vehicle was beyond reasonable repair. It's worth mentioning this vehicle was most certainly in very poor condition atleast cosmetically going into the shop, regardless it falls under good faith at the very least to inform a customer of such severe damage it is a major safety concern. Not only was i not informed of these major issues but the initial vehicle inspection report has been altered sometime between my vehicle leaving their shop after refusing to do the work they offered and the writing of this review and photos will be attached. Additionally a refund was offered in exchange for the newly installed part however there was never any discussion or even any indication that in doing so my vehicle would be returned back to its running/driving yet damaged condition it was delivered in and that parts would simply be removed.

I needed a last minute oil change before a road trip, and they were able to fit me in same day,…read morehours before. They were courteous in the phone and in person. Service was great and efficient- will definitely use for future car service needs

I had a positive experience with Jim at Rytek automotive…read more I have a 2016 Audi that had some exhaust issues a few months ago. A combination of rust and damage from backing into my garbage bin lid, caused clamps to break off and resulted in my exhaust dropping and dragging on the ground. My car sounded terrible. Pulling into and out of daycare was a bit embarrassing. I was desperate to find an auto shop and stumbled on Rytek. I was amazed that they offered to look at my car the same day, but I opted to bring it in the following day (Friday). Jim communicated promptly and effectively via text. He took pictures of the car and highlighted the issues. They are closed on the weekend but somehow managed to order the parts and do the repair in time for me to pick it up Monday afternoon. They also offered a loaner car if my repair took longer. Overall, I had an A+ experience with Jim at Rytek and wouldn't hesitate to return. I can't comment about their pricing. They seem on par with repair cost googled online. However their ability to fit me in right away made the decision easy. Also I was pleasantly surprised to find a handwritten thank you card with a $5 Wegmans gift card recently. What a thoughtful / nice little touch.
