Rare to find honest people(wont rip you off and great value) that do great work. This is the one. Great service as auto-shop and communication, very knowledgeable, will always recommend housels, noting as they are the best, you may have to wait a week for a time slot. Only things that could be improvements are a good website for appointment making and services, secondary point of contact for inquiries, they are usually pretty good about picking up calls but haven't found a voicemail for when they miss calls read more

First time customer. 2017 VW Jetta. Brought it in to have looked at for a self diagnosed issue. Everyone is really nice. Got a very quick appointment to look at car for a potential estimate. What I like best is the honestly. They were extremely up front with me and explained everything clearly and politely. That's uncommon these days. Pricing is very fair for the expertise you get with foreign and domestic vehicle repairs. Anyways I would recommend. Stay away from the stealerships ! read more

Review for Housel's- I've been a loyal customer of Housel's since we moved to Lockport over 20 years ago. I tried a different mechanic once and never again. Housel's is a family-owned business, and they've always treated us with honesty and fairness. They've helped me maintain my 2012 vehicle, and thanks to them, she's still going strong! It's rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, but Housel's has earned that trust time and again read more

If you're ever in Lockport, NY, and need car stuff done, go to Housel's. They are not the stereotypical mechanic. They're super honest, and don't try to trick you into stuff you don't need. Their pricing is extremely fair. Everyone there is really nice too. They make you feel welcome and take the time to explain things, so you're not left confused. It's like visiting friends who know a lot about cars. I can't stress it enough, they're super trustworthy and have saved me from unnecessary repairs and saved me money multiple times. They do their job right and treat everyone with respect. That's pretty rare these days. So, yeah, if your car needs some love, go to Housel's. They're awesome. I always leave feeling good about my car and my wallet. Definitely recommend them! read more

I needed a diagnosis of a noise that I had coming from my car. Dave the owner took me in promptly at the time of my appointment and seemed to know exactly what the problem was after my brief explanation to him. After the diagnosis I offered to give him the work if he wanted to take it knowing that I could do it myself. He did not push me either way but knowing how busy and backed up he already was I opted to replace the part myself. Dave refused the $ that I offered him for his time. I eventually returned with a gift card. I also have to add that just before he drove my car into his garage to lift it he had a short notice request from a gas customer to remedy some loose fender trim. Sure enough Dave proceeded to grab his screw gun to fix the issue in about 2 minutes. I recently sent my brother in law over for what turned out to be a quick fix for his van. He again refused compensation. This family business is a valuable asset to us all through their knowledge and honesty. They also is smart enough to know that knowledge, honesty, and integrity pays dividends in loyalty... (and gift cards) lol Sorry if this gets you swamped with more work, I know your busy enough but I cant help myself. read more

Best mechanics and most honest family business I've ever known They can repair anything from a classic car to a Mercedes

Fantastic service. They fit me into the schedule for a sudden issue. They had the problem diagnosed and fixed quickly. Honest pricing and great advice. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. A great place to bring your car for servicing if your looking for polite, respectful, and honest service. You wont be told you need extra work that isn't needed. Their prices are very fair and they take the time to make sure your vehicle is done right. I feel blessed to be a Housel's customer. Cheryl Babbitt read more

Love the workers and their communication as well. They are quick to answer questions, give you honest feedback back and will NEVER try to upset you. I believe this is the best place to take your car in the area if you have an issue. Nothing but positivity coming from them! read more

Great auto service went there for 20 years before moving to Vegas very,very honest hard working man....never did me wrong....not once....I wish there was a Dave Housel's in Vegas.... read more

This is a great small hometown family owned business. Dad owns the shop and his son and daughter work there as well. Great service, fair and reasonable pricing and do the work that is needed without selling you things you don't. By the repeat customers walking in and out during my wait, you can tell that people like to come here to get their car serviced. They also have a Sunoco gas station out front when you need to fill up. I was in for a rear brake and rotor job and will definitely return when I need service on my car in the future. Highly recommend read more

Owned and operated by an incredibly skilled, honest, and friendly gentleman assisted by his helpful and knowledgable family. Their pride and care in the quality of their services is outstanding. Such trustworthy merchants are not so easy to find anymore! read more

If you're looking for a service station run by honest people, this is the place to go. I went on a recommendation of friends and family members and I'll tell you what - I'll definitely be back! My car was having brake issues at high speeds and I stopped by to have them check it out. Tim hopped in the car with me so that he could experience exactly what I was trying to describe. He immediately knew what the problem was and was able to have new brake pads ordered and on my car within 24 hours. In addition, this is the first time I've ever had someone teach me something about how my car worked. Tim took the time to explain to me how brakes function and why they had begun to fail. It was a pleasure to do business with Housel's and I only have the best to say. They are now my #1 service station for all automobile repairs. Thanks, Housel's! read more

Passing cross country thru Lockport in a 23' RV, my driver side power window started to sound like it had gravel in it's gears. Knowing full well that it would fail in the down position on some rainy Saturday night in the middle of Nowhere I was anxious to get it fixed. Calling the closest Ford dealer near Buffalo, I was told I could make a reservation for the first week in Sep. (4 weeks away). Asking friends who live in Lockport, I was told Housel's Service does excellent work. I drove in, and had the owner Dave, confirm what I needed and order the part immediately. The part was there the next morning by 9a. Knowing that we were traveling cross country Dave elected to install the part himself. An hour and 20 minutes later we were on our way. His lot is not the biggest, but what they lack in size they makeup for in service. read more

I started using Housel's about 3 years ago for my 10 year old European car as they came highly recommended by a number of people. They now look after all the extended family's cars (domestic and foreign). I cannot recommend them highly enough. Hard working, honest and great to deal with. They always take the time to explain whatever the issue is and never try to take advantage. I have had issues ranging from the almost catastrophic to the mundane and they have dealt with them all with professionalism, backed up by friendly service. If it were possible I'd give them 10 stars across the board. Seeing as that is not possible I will just say that if you need someone to look at you vehicle, just go to Housel's - you won't be disappointed. read more

My family has been going to Housel's for years and they have always been honest, knowledgeable and super helpful! They got as much life as possible out of my old '96 Ford Contour in college and take good care of my '04 Toyota Highlander. I've since moved out of Lockport but still drive 30 min to them for regular service. Dave and Tim always take the time to explain everything in layman's terms and do their best to save you money when possible. I can't recommend them enough, they are the best around! read more

Dave, Tim, Rachel, and the rest of the crew are the best I've found for car repair. I got started with them about 20 years ago on a recommendation from another satisfied customer. I'm an experienced engineer, I love fixing mechanical things, and I've got two cars now, a '99 with 180,000 miles on it, and an '09 with 80.000 miles. I go to Dave and Tim because they truly understand how your car should work and will only do what's needed to make it run right. If a problem is tricky or possibly from more than one source, they will tell you. They don't fake it. That's why I go there- they fix the real problem and don't waste your time practicing at your expense. Cars have always been expensive to keep running and they are as fair with charges as they can be. Besides that, they're nice people. read more

Excellent service. Staff is helpful, honest and friendly. I wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.

Housel's service fixes my foreign car, and my wife's domestic car each with expertise, I have come to rely on them for their european car knowledge! Also they are honest and never try to hide anything, refreshing. An added bonus they are local and not a chain so you are supporting a local business. read more
