Unfortunately the staff that George hires isn't as professional as George is. Hes a good guy but a few of the staff are unbelievable. I think he tries to hire people that are lacking direction and give them a chance or something. I've had a few occasions that were not good and its all due to poor attitude, not poor service. Update: George knows exactly who I am. Christian, I had a Prelude, Lexus and BMW that I've brought there before and never again. It's always been some kind of issue there with the staff. Last time I was there, some kid purposely put oil and dirt on the steering wheel because his job was to clean the oil from the under carriage to check for oil leaks to confirm the prior work. Before that, the cashier guy didn't want to get my key from the garage for some reason?? I think he's upset because I asked him if the battery was registered he's like I don't know anything about that. We replaced the battery it doesn't need registering. He's like with an attitude. Then he said you can go get your key yourself. So I go get my own key, then some kid mechanic says you can't come back here, I told him I'm getting my key, then he says it again I'm like whatever, then he calls me am asshole. I went straight to his face to almost touching his nose and told him let's do this right now, if you want to be disrespectful. Then of course nothing happened and it calmed and a then nice woman gave me a ride home. Anyway I think George is a good guy at the end of the day and he's always been straight forward. He's also probably the best mechanic there but I'm not certain of all the mechanics but for BMW I just go to the dealer because there is certain software that only BMW dealers have.

A bit disappointed in this body shop as they were not a recommended shop by my insurance however they had done work on our previous car of my and I liked the work that they did so I chose to go with this body shop however when it’s all set and done, I had been being told from the very beginning that they could possibly work on me when it came to my $1500 deductible at the end of it, it was an absolutely not gonna happen answer so it was very displeased with the sudden change. Also offered to bring them $1000 and give them the 500 over the next Week and again was denied as I’m spending hundreds of dollars in a rental that could go towards getting my car paid but instead I’m just gonna continue to fall further and further back as a rental isn’t too cheap so overall not satisfied with this auto body shop giving false hope and poor customer service. I’m a big believer and you can’t blame others for somebody else’s wrongdoing. I’m not other people.

Blake, I apologize for any confusion. A deductible isn’t something that can be “worked on”, it is the portion of the bill that you and the insurance company agreed you would pay when you got coverage. Asking any shop to do anything that results in them collecting the full balance of the repair without you paying your deductible is asking them to commit insurance fraud – something we never have, and never will participate in. we take that seriously. Secondly, we did work with you. We let you pay 2/3 of the $1500 and take your car on your word that you would return to pay the final $500, a balance that at the time of this reply is still unpaid. We are saddened that you felt it necessary to leave us a poor review after working so hard to make your car look new again, and going out on a limb by letting you take your car with out complete payment. I don’t know of many businesses that would have extended that courtesy to a customer. We feel like we went above and beyond for you, and are sorry that you didn’t feel that was enough.

My new car was damaged after I slid on some ice. Sean and his team did a fantastic job restoring my car and made it look just like new, like the accident never happened. They also managed to do the repair within a very reasonable amount of time so I wasn’t without a car for too long. I was very happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone.

I had a great experience with this shop. A car backed into my driver door leaving substantial damage to my drivers side. Everyone at this shop was great. Shawn handled the insurance stress and Chris did amazing body/paint work leaving my car looking brand new! They also detailed my vehicle before I picked it up. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs work done.

Wish I had read the reviews. Was given an estimate of a week and still don’t have my car a month later. With each phone call with autoworks or my insurer, I get conflicting information about whether parts have arrived and when my car will be ready.

Very pleased with the bodywork done at Autoworks. Sarah and Shawn were professional, responsive, even fun to work with. They made the process simple and convenient (working with insurance). I hope never to need body work again but if I do I will see Autoworks.

Nice shop. It was a simple fix, but the folks at Autoworks were great. I was visting from out of town, was given their name from a friend who is a local. When I called and asked if they could fit me in on that day, they said yes. It was quick and the people there were courteous and professional.

I’m not sure what the current trend is with rustproofing new cars. I do know that there aren’t many places near me who provide the service. Zeibart is in Syracuse which isn’t convenient. Autowork’s provides quality service, in my opinion, at a reasonable price. They’ve rustproofed two vehicles for me and the product they use works. Maybe people think with aluminum used in so many vehicles rustproofing isn’t important. Aluminum corrodes. Frames and other parts are steel. I think Rustproofing protects my investment. If you need it done near Ithaca I highly recommend Autowork’s.

I got my car body repair done in three days (somewhat significant damage), pricing was transparent, and I have no complaints about the job done.

This place is horrible... do not waste your time or money. It'll just give you a headache trying to figure out how they decided to charge you based on the bs hours they claim to do. Go somewhere else. There's plenty of other local businesses that deserve your money more than this crap hole.

Had my car for 3-4 months of body repair and after all the incessant calling finally got it done.. at first looked good but then noticed cracks in some plastics and many missing bolts/screws or not bothered to be tightened down.

Changed my rating of 5/5 to 1/5 Took my car to official Mercedes Dealership Helms Bros Bayside. Technician said the previous work was unable to satiate the body damage due to the incident costing me additional repairs with active brake assist and radar sensor. Either this shop took the insurance money from Geico and did not purchase new parts or this place was unable to handle German cars

Gecko referred us here after the accident, but this place is terrible. After the crazy amount of time and money, the engine light is still on with few errors in the computer. I brought my car back, and they were saying this is normal. How can it be normal, and we end up being the car back to the dealer to identify the problem.

I had a scrape and small dent in my car from another persons car door slamming into mine. Subaru was quoting 3k and 6 days in the shop to fix because they would need to replace a bunch of unnecessary things. I called Keith and Autoworks and he quoted me $75 and a hours work. I stopped by again to drop it off to be fixed and they fixed in it 12 minutes for a price of nothing but absolute kindness. Be it that was the scrape and not the dent but it was so minor I agreed I just wanted the scrape buffed. (The scrape was hideous, the dent was only noticeable at a certain angle) Fantastic job and honest lovely team, absolutely recommend.

As a college student, I took my car here based on a friend’s recommendation, but it was a terrible experience. They had my car for nearly the entire semester due to recurring issues. I paid for repairs, yet they kept insisting my car was fine. When I finally took it to my trusted mechanic back home, he found that none of the work had actually been done. I would strongly advise avoiding this place at all costs.

I waited 1.5 hours for an inspection even though I was the 2nd person in the shop that morning. Several people who came in after me left before I did. They also tried to sell me a break+rotor change even though there is plenty of life left in my breaks. They won’t hesitate to take advantage of you. Such dishonest and unprofessional behavior.

I consulted the body shop for some scratches on the car and my concern is potential rust forming under the scratches. I spoke to Keith who was very honest and helpful - when i told him i am not worried about the cosmetics and mainly just the corrosion, he taught me that as the bumper cover is all plastic (i thought it was metal, much to my lack of knowledge), no rust would form. I am really impressed by the frankness and practicality. another body shop near me recommended a bumper cover replacement and quoted me almost 2000 for a problem that i did not really have (maybe bumper being plastic and not rusting was so common knowledge they misunderstood my concern lol) - i was almost ready to take the risk to learn to do the painting myself.. Thank you! I left the place very happy and with a great impression of this place. If i ever need body work i will be back! Bless you!
