Corning Auto Center

"Good service, friendly staff, comfortable waiting room! Reasonable costs!"

"They don’t care for their customers. Went in to get some information about my car issues the Tech didn’t help at all. The lady in front even told me she didn’t want to know what was wrong with my car. So I went to Hi tech Automotive down the road they helped me and even informed me and made suggestions on things it could be. definitely recommend going to Hi Tech Automotive!! Don’t waste your time here."

"The people that run this place are shysters!! A diagnosis of a no start condition on my car cost me almost $300. After a couple days of my car being in the shop I inquired as to what was going on. They lied about the determination of the problem and about the work that was being done and just vaguely said that the diagnosis needed to continue. They tried to manipulate me into letting them keep the car for longer so they could charge more. After examining the car myself I discovered that the work that supposedly had been done had in fact not been done at all!"

"My husband and I were traveling from Portland, OR to Monterey, CA when we heard this bang, then a rush of air came at us from our air blower then a scraping noise started under our car. We pulled off the highway onto an old back road and I got under the front of the car to see what the problem was (my ex was a mechanic so I know what to look for). I found the bolt that holds the aluminum splash plate that covers the oil pan had come off on one side on the front and the air pressure had sucked it out and down which caused it to scrape along the road and was a bit torn up. I figured I just needed to attach it whatever way I could to get it back in place until we found a garage the next day. I found a caribeener and some heavy duty string and my hubby tied it into the hole where the bolt came out as I’d had a hand fracture and couldn’t maneuver well. The next morning we looked to see where the closest car repair place was near the Holiday Inn Express hotel where we stayed the night before and drove to Corning Auto Center. I walked in and spoke to office manager Rick and told him the problem. He immediately got his mechanic Jim to look under the car and assess the damage. Jim then proceeded to put in a new bolt and some zip ties to hold the splash plate in place so we could continue on our journey to Monterey until we got it fixed. When I went inside to pay Rick he said just a five or ten dollar tip would be enough as he didn’t want to go through the process of using the debit/credit machine. I protested saying the guy who worked on our car should get paid so could I please write a check. He still insisted never mind and Martha, the other office manager said just write us a review on Yelp so I said ok, thanked them and left. This kind of good will service is what keeps bringing customers like myself back and wanting to write a five star review! If we’re ever passing through Corning again and need something fixed this will definitley be our go-to place. Highly recommend!"

"Absolutely phenomenal! We had our car break down on I5. We were able to limp in. They got us right in. Solved our problem, got us back on the road. That's not all though. We were 7 people taking up their waiting area. The staff was kind, patient and generous. We even got to meet the owner. If you want fast, personal service, and honest & genuine staff, make this your go to auto shop . Thank you!!"
