Scottie's Auto Repair

"Rev. Dave Robinson My family has lived in Dryden 37 years and we have brought our vehicles to Scotties for well over 20 years. We currently have a 2017 Honda CRV, 2015 Chevy Impala and 2014 Audi A4 and Scott keeps them all running great. Scott’s and Judy’s honesty and integrity have made me a loyal customer over all this time and their business is one of the reasons that Dryden is such a wonderful place to live."

"I have only had one experience here with a truck. Also got it inspected. Scottie is a busy man, and he is good with letting you know what he can and can't do within time frames and prices ranges."

"I have logged 2.5 million miles behind the wheel in business and have developed a soft bigotry of low expectations of repair shops....until I came to Scotties. There were many reasons why they had a 5 star rating! And why thier parking lot is always jam packed.The simplest being they answer the phone, return your calls in a timely manner, do the work when they say they will, do the work correctly the first time, don't break anything else while they do it, and stand by thier work. They don't just say that....they do it. They have some of the most experienced and talented mechanics I have had the pleasure to work with. If a job needs to be expensive they take the time to explain why but in general thier pricing structure is fair minded without cutting corners. This is the only shop in a 600 mile radius that I would take my special edition vintage Lotus too. They are also humble and will check thier approach with the manufacturer of the vehicle if needed. First rate!! Coming from someone whose been around....I trust them, with my cars....my very livelyhood...wholeheartedly."

"(Hi, Scott. This is the guy with the donuts.) Well, this is my very first time to write the "review thing" on Google. Anyone who has a German (especially Mercedes) should check this place rather than the crazy expensive Mercedes dealership at Syracuse. I visited here and asked powertrain-related jobs includes quite a tricky differential issue. Yes, Mercedes (and other Germans as well) have unnecessary over-engineering stuff in their cars. It is absolutely the mechanical beauty, but in the real world, it is hard to find repair shops for owners who live in small city/town (like Ithaca). As I tried a lot to find the decent auto shop for my Mercedes in Ithaca, sadly, NONE of the auto shops in Ithaca area can handle Mercedes like Scottie's. Yes, I probably tried with around 15 auto shops and you can trust me. If you are a German owner in Ithaca, you probably tried with AJ auto shop (the only so-called, foreign specialist) in Ithaca, but AJ is infamous for their high dollar bills with low-quality jobs. Other nation-wide big name shops in Ithaca, they cannot handle the Mercedes. The Mercedes dealership at Syracuse, they are solid, but they will charge you thousands of dollars. I used Cuse Mercedes dealership for 3 years and spent tons of bucks already. I know there are many Ithacans who having trouble to find the right place for their German cars. Well, this is the place for us. - For other car owners than German, well, as a car enthusiast, I have to say, you guys definitely need to check the Scottie's for yours as well. I will keep writing / updating my review for this place as I will visit this place with the additional service request soon."
