I recently went to another place for an inspection & my car didn't pass due to the front brakes. Made an appointment at Trombley for a brake job & they called to let me know the front brakes were still good. Another time I had a quote for rear brakes from another place & Trombley was $100 less. Got my tires there and one day had a flat & they replaced the tire for $5 or $10 for a tire disposal fee. Highly recommend.

Ended up being the fuel pump. (15 yr old Hyundai) Monro fixed it in one day. Very reasonable price and literally weeks before local dealership could have gotten to it. We have had nothing but great experiences at this property over several years with problems beyond regular maintenance. Highly recommended. Kudos to manager Don and his staff.

UPDATE from my previous review draft from 2023 so you can see how far they've come in a year:…read more John, who's worked for Monro for at least a decade, came in about a year ago and cleaned up the place. The awful staff/managers I talk about from 2019-2023 were finally dealt with. I scheduled an inspection, was expecting the disaster of every year before, so I made sure to call & check it was in the books. John reassured me it's there, and he'll be taking care of the inspection. Sure enough, he was the lone staff manning the location that day. He got everything taken care of in less than 30 mins. Even noticed something that needed sprucing up & did that service. I could cry. Never in 5 years with this place did they actually do their job well. I hope they give John proper support staff so he sticks around! He's done wonders for the place. 2023 draft (a one-two star review): The men working there had mostly been unpleasant to deal with--some to the point of hostile (unlike the guys over at the Elmira Road location, who were nice. Angel, in particular.) We've been customers at this Triphammer Monro for about 4 years now, and EVERY single time we bring the car in--whether it's for a a safety inspection or service--something goes very wrong. This year, they scheduled us for a safety inspection, but when we took it in at the appointment time, they claimed their safety inspector was done for the day. So everything we had needed that depended on the safety inspection for got completely derailed. If their service and work was really decent, then we could let it slide...but come on.

It's always done quick and with very reasonable pricing. I highly recommend this shop above anywhere else. I will add, I had purchased a car from Sun Auto in Cortland (which I will NEVER go to again!) When I went in for an inspection and oil change, he noticed my subframe was rotted out and told me so that I could get it fixed as soon as possible. If it wasn't for him, I would still be driving on an unstable subframe. I love Ithaca Auto Service! :)

I called, and they said it was impossible the two could be related, and did not offer to cure it. They told me to tow it back, on my dime, to sell me a repair or replacement. I later called again and explained that I took it elsewhere where they told me that the valve stem had been damaged. He asked "why did you take it somewhere else?" then "have a good day sir" and hung up on me. This issue required me to walk one mile to my home late at night in February, another mile up hill the following day, cost for tow, and the cost for an extra repair. Bruce's Pit Stop told me that topping fluids is not included in an oil change, which is unheard of. Terrible shop.

These guys are awesome…read more Thanks to all the construction in Ithaca, I found a huge screw in my tire one morning. Unfortunately these days new cars don't come with spares and I had to use a fix a flat kit because I had no other way to fix it (PSA: Only use fix a flat kits as a last resort--they gunk up the inside of the wheel and messes up your TPMS!!!) Every tire place I went to or called was exceptionally rude and said I would have to wait 3 hours. Mr Tire said they can do it in an hour and half. It was a quick drop off and I came back in 1.5 hours to a fixed tire. Huge thanks to Anthony for fixing and cleaning up all the fix a flat gunk. The guy manning the desk was super chill and nice too.

I'm one of those women who thinks every mechanic is out to get me, and I was especially skittish when we first brought the car in but hoped I'd feel better with a woman-owned shop. Our previous mechanic had failed to diagnose a problem that resulted in completely destroyed brakes in January and a $1500 bill. Diane's got our car back on the road in no time, consistently keeping us updated as they had to adjust the project. Two years and lots of Ithaca hills later, Diane's has fixed the brakes twice. First they replaced a faulty part for free, and then just this week they replaced the rotors and pads at a labor discount. Their service has been consistent (they even text, which makes managing this so much easier during a busy work day!) and Diane herself took the time to explain to me why our brakes needed work (again). I'm grateful to finally find a shop I can trust!

UPDATE, 2 days later: Mavis/Cole contacted me based on this review, and my husband was separately contacted after giving severe feedback in the customer satisfaction survey he got after this service. Mavis/Cole has reimbursed us for the full cost of the PSF replacement. The store and regional manager apologized for this happening and agreed it should not have been done. (I pointed out that I have a Mavis/Cole receipt from a couple years ago showing that they recommended changing the PSF just 6,000 miles after it had been done at the dealership, when obviously it was not needed--so I think this is an ongoing issue.
