They sell good brand items that won't fail you like ones purchased at the big box stores. They are very prompt in figuring out what parts you need especially when you are not sure what its even called. They have a rather large inventory on hand, but if for some reason they don't have something in stock it can get ordered in rather quickly. I highly recommend them.

There is a guy there that does not have very good phone manners (says things like "uhh I have no clue what you're sayin" instead of "could you repeat that", for example), but other than that, I have nothing but good things to say about this store. Example: Another store sent over a wrong part, which was not the fault of this particular store. The manager (Dave S.) felt so sorry that he immediately did every single thing imaginable to correct this mistake and to deliver the correct part as soon as possible. He truly knows customer service.

Turns out I was too low in all 4 tires, and when I mentioned that the dashboard light is always on, which makes it hard to know if there really is too little pressure, he got the machine to test the sensors in the tires and confirmed that they are all working. And all of this without charging me at all. Really great to have a neighborhood place like this.

I brought in my car for repairs, and I was concerned that the damage done would be astronomical…read more I'm grateful to say that the experts and staff at College Street Motors are an experienced and wise team, because my fears delayed me from getting the new tires I needed. I had driven on a flat, and if you're unaware, this can rapidly degrade the quality of your drive. You can wear a CB joint, your axel, or your rotor, if I recall, and too much wear on these can do immense damage to your car's future. I had replaced two of my tires and still felt a wobble. How could it be the tires, I thought? This is why College Street Motors' experience comes into play. The car might as well be a multi-piece orchestra, with brake drums, piston percussion, and wheel woodwinds. I don't intend to go over the top with this metaphor, because it sounds like a bunch of noise and shaking for me. The mechanic left me a very detailed note, describing how there was nothing more discernible than the loud noise coming from the tires I had yet to replace. No wobbling due to damage to other parts of the car. Plus, I believe they warranty their work, maybe I'm just thinking of my AAA membership. After my tires were replaced, I was relieved at how right they were. As internal combustion engine drivetrain cars are complex, so are electrical cars in their own way. It's a world I have yet to get into, or may never dig deep enough to really gain a foothold of experience. Luckily, there're mechanics just down the street for me that took only a bit of time to diagnose the problem, find a tire match for the ones I had just gotten new, and then both install and balance. I bet their experience pays dividends to other customers, too, who are hoping to make sense of a new problem with little labor and diagnostics. Thank you all, even the pickup with your front desk team was pleasant.

I walked in, knowing that the price to repair a flat might be the cost of a tire in some cases…read more Still, I was recommended by Gil's Auto and wow, I feel this team is a Tire Hospital, doing Tire emergencies all day. Can you believe I came back with to find my flat fixed within hours, and for less than a quarter of the price I expected? On a busy day where there were plenty of cars ahead of me and maintenance work closing the street beside Amherst Tire, they told me it'd be four hours for them to get to my car if they still had the time by the day's end. My expectations must have been so low, because I was more than willing to let my car sit there and slow leak its way to a repair by the morning. They mentioned their Early Bird program, too, if you had to drop your car off before they opened. (There's a mailbox with envelopes to fill out your information in, where you put your key in the envelope and seal it, then drop the envelope into a letter drop in the garage door.) I thought I might need to drop by in the morning. Two hours later, they had managed to get to my car. Two hours later, the slow leak was repaired, just needing a bit of driving to test the patching solution pumped into the car. I had estimated $200, thinking they'd be painfully testing where the leak was, doing some odd patching, removing whatever caused the leak.. I must have had an odd idea of repair since these folk only charged me for maybe an hour's worth of labor to repair the leak. The slow leak is gone, saving me the need of replacing two tires at a time! In a circumstance where they could have easily convinced me I needed more labor and more tires, they were a cost-effective solution, administered within hours on a busy day, and surprised me with how trustworthy they were. I hope you have a similar experience if you go, I am glad I was recommended here.

I was lucky that my tow knew Gil's and recommended I visit there a second time, because Gil's fixed…read moremy car within 24 hours despite being one of the busiest car shops in Amherst. Gil's, a mom and pop auto shop, is run by Daniel and his staff. When I first visited for a routine oil change, I was seen and changed within an hour for an incredibly fair price. I wondered if they needed my filter in advance? Or my oil? Nope--they had those all ready. It was this kind of family and expertise that I wasn't used to for auto shops. So, when my tow driver knew Gil's and was ready to tow my broken down car to Gil's for a repair, I called them ahead of time to clear it. No problem, again. This was an incredible relief. The day I showed up to get my car back, I was excited. I was concerned about my battery needing a premiere level to get the same level of cold cranks--nope--they found a battery 2/3rds the price new and had the cold cranking power. I was concerned that there might be something wrong besides my battery--yep, they suspected the starter and had called me for approval in fixing it. All in all, I expected to spend a thousand in repair fees, but found them a surprising amount beneath my own estimate. Somehow, Gil's manages to do great repair at market level or below, and I believe that's because they rely on their car know-how and more affordable software systems. They were affected by the Cloudflare outage on Tues 18th, 2025, like most of the people in the world. They could still print out my receipt just fine, and I was on my way. Don't be put off by the struggles their customers go through. Their 3rd party's air pump worked if you had a card, the coin slot was jammed. I thought I saw a car with a transparent tarp out front one day, and it was gone the next. People must be coming and going here with all sorts of classic and new cars, and somehow Gil's manages to stay atop these changes. From what I know, they'll be moved out of this location soon, so keep an eye out for where they end up next. Thank you, Gil's, I'm glad to be a part of your car family on College Street, with other quality mechanics you've referred me to.
