Lakeland Auto Repair - Syracuse (NY)

Lisa Jawork I cannot say enough about this family run business!! Mohamed and his team did an amazing job. A bit of background: My car overheated while driving home on the turnpike in NY to Ohio, on a Sunday. I called my insurance company to get a tow - 1.5hrs later they indicate that is a restricted zone and to call state trooper. I wound up calling the nearest Pep Boys where I had planned on taking it to see if they offered tow service, which they did and it would have been nice if they offered that on my first call with them. Needless to say got dropped into another queue - now worried that it was approaching 3pm on a Sunday and most repair shops would not likely service me the same day. I then found this repair shop that was open until 7pm. I called, explained my issue he indicated to bring the car in and he could work on it. The (independent tow truck company I found through the Warners gas attendant) was curious why I chose this shop out of the others. I said, I need to get home yet today, and they were willing to work on it on a Sunday. Mohamed and his family team treated me so kind, he quickly assessed the issue (water pump completely broken), quoted me a price, and went to work. It was a Very fair price and they even went the extra step to check my oil and give me an oil change at a small price and fix my darn dashboard light from being forever on! It goes to show that no matter where in the world you are, regardless of neighborhood, income, nationality etc.... There are truly good people/mechanics in the world. I just now need to find someone closer to my home in Ohio! Thank you Mohamed and Family - you are the best. Lisa

JSW Life Last year on my return golf trip from Rochester New York while traveling on interstate 81, 300 miles from my home. I blew the head gasket on my 1999 Volvo xc70. Had the car towed to the VOLVO dealership in Syracuse that Sunday. I had to take a bus home. Followed up with the dealer that Monday, repair estimate over $4000.00. Did some online research and found Gabe Auto. Had the car towed to them, I couldnt have been more pleased with the choice. I felt at ease after my conversation with Gabe. For further reassurance I had my Volvo mechanic (Ive known him for over 25 years) speak with Gabe after speaking with him he confidently assured me that Gabe knows his stuff. Cost $2600. One week later I went to pick up my car, met Gabe for the first time. What an upstanding and gracious person. . A few months later I was heading back to Rochester and stopped by to have my wife meet Gabe, we spent 45 minutes chatting with him. Highly recommended.

Sean and Brad Flowers I blew a tire going down 690 they were able to fit me in and Im back on the road. so so very impressed. If I lived closer I would come back for anything I needed. And the prices were spot on too.

Meaghan Harrington Amazing service! The entire process couldn’t have been smoother. They made a stressful and miserable situation as pleasant as possible! Needed a new catalytic converter, and they gave me an estimate that matched the final bill - no surprises. they checked on a door lock and let me know options for that as well as filled up all my tires and recalibrated my tire light system at no charge. Cannot recommend them enough

Mike Cathcart Great mechanic who wont sell you things you dont need. Always have a good experience here.

Richard Parks Great customer service and good prices

lizzie may I somehow left my car on all night and came to the shop all nervous with a bunch of warning lights on. Fade(?) reset it free of charge, which took about 2 minutes. He was a very calming and handsome presence in my embarrassing moment of crisis. He wouldn’t even accept a tip, so I offer this review as compensation. 10/10 recommend cuse autoland!

Kim Ellsworth Staff are very knowledgeable and pleasant. Being a woman everything was explained to me and I did not feel like I was being treated like an idiot, like so many other places I have taken my car to! Each repair has been done quickly and efficiently at a very reasonable rate!

Natasha Marrero - Keppis Came all the way from NYC. Great auto repair. Mechanic is educated and knows what he’s doing. Customer service is great as well. 10/10

Pete Jazdzyk My son is a student at SUNY whose car would not start and had a number of other issues. Being from Michigan, we had no idea who to use for the needed repairs. We trusted all the positive ratings Alain had for his shop. That trust was well placed. We received clear written assessment of needed repairs with pricing included before repairs were done. We trusted Alain to do quality repair at a fair price and he trusted us to pay. We both made a good decision. Repair work was top quality at a fair price. I recommend AB auto service for quality and trustworthy service!!
