The owners, Josh and Larry are great....Vesa's oozes customer service and respect. for their customers/client's. I have been going to Vesa's for approx 25 years and would never consider going anywhere else. The team is skilled in identifying the problem and resolving it quickly... In my opinion, BEST AUTOMOTIVE SHOP in the US....With PIZZAZZ.. read more

The previous owners were good. The new owners are crooks. I brought my car in for a wheel alignment and they said it needed inner tie rods before they could do the alignment. I declined to let them have the work. I took the car home, inspected it and found that both inner tie rods were perfect. They lied to me to try to grab an extra five hundred dollars. INFO: I used to work at a garage, so I know what I'm talking about. read more

Everyone at Vesa are great. Always pleasant. Great service,and great price. Highly recommend them. I've never had a bad experience. read more

An autoshop that goes well and beyond helping its customers achieve lasting performance of their domestic and foreign vehicles unmatched. My 2002 Jaguar X type running at it's very best thanks to well qualified engineered mechanics. Ask for Larry or Josh to make sure Nick is called up . Only the very best in my book.

I recently had a scary experience in which my steering wheel was rotating on its own while I was driving and it was making a noise. I was on my way home but decided to bring my car in to Vesa's as they were close by and I had heard good things about the shop from a friend. I walked in and told them I did not have an appointment but was scared to drive my car any further. I just wanted to leave it. Larry listen to the symptoms and watched the video I showed him of my gyrating steering wheel. He booked me and said it may have to stay a while as they were booked. However, the next day day I got a call saying they were looking at my car. Larry told me the issue and I was able to pick my car up the next day. Was it expensive? Yes, but I had to get both axels replaced as one fell apart completely in Vesa's parking lot as I pulled in and the other one was shot also. Larry showed me pictures of the broken axel and the other one with a tear and no oil. I was blessed that I made it to the shop right before it fell apart. I felt well taken care of and Larry was knowledgeable and friendly. I will return to them for maintenance in the future. read more

Courteous professional reasonable. Loaned me a car when service was going to take longer

As always, exceptional service. Would trust my vehicle with no one else. Excellent, knowledgeable, highly recommended.

Wow. Where do I begin? My family has been using vesas for as long as I can remember- I'm 38 now. I live in NYC but my family still resides in the area. My brother passed away, suddenly, and I was forced to drive my car to Rochester without making an appointment for an inspection or brake change where I live downstate. My vehicle wasn't legal or safe to drive, so I knew I'd have to get it fixed before my return to nyc. I called them and was told they were booked out for at least a week (they really are the best, most honest mechanics in Rochester), so I was bummed. My mother said - "go in there and tell them what happened. Speak to Larry or Josh, and see if they can help". I walked in, shared the news, and they said "bring it in. We'll find the time" Good businesses treat their customers like family. That's what you will find at Vesa's. read more

Both my partner and I have started taking our vehicles to Vesa's after I had an absolutely terrible experience with my previous auto shop. Vesa's recently did an inspection and oil change for me, and I was so impressed and relieved by the way they presented information about my car plainly, while being realistic about what was coming down the road (pardon the pun) and what needed to be done that day. I needed a new tire to pass inspection, along with an alignment adjustment. When I was at Monro Muffler pre-pandemic, I think maybe January, they told me that I needed a full break replacement immediately and tried to condescend to me about why I didn't know what I was talking about when I walked away from doing that. Fast forward to October, and Vesa's let me know the break PADS had worn but were nothing urgent, and could definitely be put off. This honesty was so refreshing and appreciated and a sure way to keep a customer. They even quoted the work that would need to be done on the breaks in the future so I could plan. This is a reminder to SHOP LOCAL and support local businesses!! There's less sales pressure and I firmly believe that the people at Vesa's don't care about your gender or your knowledge of cars, they just want the people of Rochester driving away in a safe vehicle. I have found my forever mechanic and am looking forward to driving my sweet Hyundai Sonata, named Carl the Car, to the hundreds of thousands of miles mark with their help. read more

I know we live in a country where most or all mechanics exploit their customers' ignorance to gouge them for profit but that doesn't mean we have to take it lying down. I made an appointment here knowing the issue with my car had to do with the windshield wiper transmission. When I brought it in they told me there was an animal nest under my hood (this was true, which is why they get 2 stars and not 1) and that they needed to replace the transmission, and that it would cost almost $700 ($425 of which was just for the part). I looked online to see what the part actually cost, as you do. I found I could get it in Webster for under $150. When I told Vesas this they said they don't use customer parts so I decided to take my business elsewhere. They called me back 5 minutes later agreeing to let me bring in my own part "as a favor" or something along those lines. At first I thought they were being nice but then I got suspicious. I looked up the work they were going to be doing and after one youtube tutorial realized I could do it myself with no special tools. And for the record I am not remotely good at this stuff. Anyway, I personally would rather get my hands dirty for half an hour and spend $150 than give $675 to people who are happy to exploit and deceive me to get it. So that's what I did. Feel free to make your own call. EDIT: they also told me they had taken out the broken part which was straight up not true. I'm not even sure they did more than pop the hood. So, dropping that extra star accordingly read more

My car was burning a lot of oil. Larry recommended changing the oil pan. The car was leaking oil everywhere after the replacement of the oil pan. The engine started making noise. The check engine light was on. He tow the Car back to his shop at his expense and said he fixed the issue. A couple weeks later, the car completely died. It was my first time there. I saw they had really good reviews so I wanted to give them a shot. Never again. I would not recommend anyone to go there read more

We have several company vehicles. Josh and the rest of customer service takes care of our fleet of vehicles in a timely manner.

I have had my front tires replaced, aligned and balanced here. I have also had my transmission fluid as well as my engine oil drained and replace here. All the aforementioned services were done professionally and punctually. I have even stopped by to get my TPMS and my oil change light(s) turned off. Thank you to all the people who make this business run as smooth as silk! read more

I have been a customer of Vesa's for several years and their service is excellent! They are great to work with and offer a fair price. I am grateful for their expertise. read more

I've had my car breakdown a couple times; getting it towed over to VESAs, they've been able to get it back on the road (1) quicker than their initial quote time and (2) for cheaper than their initial quote amount. As far as I'm concerned, they're the best shop in town. read more

Vesa's takes very good care of my car. From tires to inspections. Great customer service and quality work.

The best always willing to help and will get u back on the road as soon as possible best place on Rochester

This is hands down the ONLY place I take my car for anything - oil changes, repairs, EVERYTHING. Great service, fair prices, friendly, and always on top of letting me know if something is looking funny or will need to be done in the future to keep my repair costs down to a minimum so it doesn't make further damage. Not one of those garages that does a so-so job so something else breaks and you have to go back, they truly take pride in their work. Always A+ service every time! read more

What can I say about a business that never needs to advertise? Great service! I've referred a few friends to them and I've heard nothing but positive feedback from my friends. If you've got a mechanic you love, great... but if you don't, I'm sure you'll appreciate their dedication to their customers. read more

Great experience overall. First time there to get an AC fixed ( drained ) and a tire rotation . Reasonable price and very courteous

My daughter attends the Eastman School of Music and has her car on campus from out of state. She was experiencing some issues with starting her car. After the battery was replaced by AAA, she still was having issues starting her car. She took the car to Vesa's and they did an complete check up of it and literally found nothing to fix. They could have been dishonest and said it was a starter issue or alternator or anything else.... But instead they were honest and charged us a very minimal fee for their time for doing a thorough check of the car. In addition, the service was very fast and everyone I spoke to was extremely knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend Vesa's! read more

Honest, knowledgeable, and friendly. I won't take my car anywhere else. They've kept my cars in tip top shape for almost 10 years!!

Overall great, trustworthy service. They'll have you in and out quickly for a scheduled oil change, and held prioritize any work needing to be done to help it work for your schedule, wallet, and safety of you and the vehicle. read more

I've been going here for 7 years. Definitely my favorite local auto shop! Always such friendly, prompt, and high quality service. They're very honest and always make sure you're aware of work that will need to be done eventually so you're not surprised. Prices are competitive and frankly the service puts them on top. Plus I love that they service Bosch auto parts and I'm biased because I work for Bosch! read more

I live in the DC area and used them to look at a used vehicle I was interested in at a dealership. So glad I used them. They saved me a lot of money, because the dealership the car was at claim it was flawless. It was far from it. They texted me detailed photos and pointed out all the discrepancies in the 'flawless' car. I did not purchase it. Thank you Vesa's Automotive. read more

I've never had a bad experience with Vesa's. I've been a customer for years (going through two different cars) and not once have I felt that I have ever had bad customer service or have I left disappointed. They do fantastic work for fair prices and are upfront with any and everything that they do. They make sure to contact you first before performing any task so that as a customer you are aware of what will be taking place. I have no problem referring anyone to Vesa's for any car work. read more

With over 325K on my 2011 Corolla, Vesa's has kept my cat running like new. Oil change, to tune-ups, tire rotations, and inspections. I know my car will perform as expected. Great folks, friendly, superior service, best of all more than reasonable prices. Always on the lookout for potential problems, keeping my future repairs problems to a minimal. read more

A very professionally run shop. The staff was very knowledegable and courteous. The communication from beginning to end was superior. I've had two large repairs done there and both were done as described and schedule. On of these repairs went more quickly then they planned and they reduced my price significantly. Super guys doing super work with lots of integrity.. read more

John, Larry, Josh and the whole Vesa's team truly are excellent. I've been a customer for years - since 2002, and my car now is the fourth one Vesa's has kept on the road for me. Through transmission death and brakes, inspections and all the other things cars require, they've been there for me with extraordinary customer service, quality work and fair prices. I'll never go anywhere else for automotive service. read more

Everyone was so nice and helpful. After they did the diagnostic on my car they called and explained everything that was wrong with it, they gave me a full explanation of what each thing would cost and my options. Really appreciated how they treated me and they work that they did. read more

Great first time experience at Vesa's. Took care of an inspection, oil change, and also offered a great deal on a set of 4 performance Toyo tires (tread had worn down unevenly and the handling was off). No upsell, no pushing, just honest info. Larry (co-owner) even gave me a ride back to the shop to pick er up in the evening. Great service, great guys. Will be returning with our other car as well! read more

I recommend Vesa's to anyone and everyone when they mention needing service. These guys are honest and fair, and there are never any surprise charges once they start work. Also their customer service is second to none! I don't like having to pay for auto repair, but when I do at least I know I'm paying for honest work. read more

Great service! My car was returned to me within the time they had promised. They did my NYS inspection AND they helped fix a loud rattle that had been bothering me for weeks! I forgot to tell them about it but they still took care of it for me (and $10 for the repair isn't steep at all)! Thank you guys for helping me out! Definitely going back for routine work/ repairs in the future. read more

I brought my car to have service done on a leaky tire. I selected this repair shop solely based on the outstanding reviews, and they definitely did not disappoint. John was super friendly throughout the process, and they were able to repair the tire and have me back on the road the same day. read more

Very helpful and quick service. The staff was all extremely nice and upfront about the prices and service.

They told me days prior that they were booked, the day they told me they had open scheduling they got me in right way and fixed my car within two hours. No jerking you around on that. They lowered the price from the estimate, then they even gave me a discount for using cash. I've definitely found my shop in rochester. I'm very pleased! read more

Great service! Most honest and helpful car shop I've been to in Rochester. I've gone to Vesa for about 3 years now for everything from brakes to tires to towing to a whole new transition when my clutch burnt out. They're really the best in town and they have a cute doggie to wait with in the waiting room while your cars being repaired! :) read more

Very nice, prices have always seemed fair, ad they've never tried to upsell me for some crap service I don't need.

John, Larry, Josh and the entire crew at Vesa are honest, thorough and truly care about their customers satisfaction. They do quality work at fair prices. They keep both your safety and your budget in mind when advising you on the timing of when you need to address issues with your vehicle. I was referred to Vesa by my brother, who's been taking his family's 4 cars there for years, and I've been so pleased with their service and pricing that I've referred my friends there. A "word of mouth" reputation like they have is worth it's weight in gold. read more

Amazing experience at Vesa's! Everyone was very accommodating, helpful and non-judgemental. So beyond pleased with my service and would highly recommend them to everyone! read more
