Working across the street I stopped in to see if I could get an inspection on my Corvette before a trip. They offered for me to leave it that day or bring it first thing next morning. Fast courteous service. Super friendly and really helped out by fitting me in. While I was waiting I saw the detail work they did on a 69 corvette and it looked awesome. If I ever need more than an inspection I will absolutely go here.
I spoke with “Charlie “ at the Delaware Ave/Kenmore location for general car maintenance. He was both knowledgeable and professional in servicing my vehicle. Bison Automotive took excellent care of my car at a great price. I highly recommend Bison for any and all of your automotive needs.
Called about my 2016 Chevy equinox, explained ii had a check engine light on, the gentleman told me to bring it in and he will take a throural look at it. They performed a full diagnostics and found out that i would be better just trading in my car. I took there advise and got brand new car with less millage and no engine problems. I guess I can say they are good at the advice and the help they give. Thanks Guys
The customer service and quality of work were both amazing! Everyone was very friendly, even when I changed my appointment multiple times. I had the full interior and exterior detailing and my car looks brand-new! There was mud and scuff marks on my leather seats, doors, and backs of the seats, from my boys playing sports. The floor mats were stained from the winter salt. I was amazed at how all of that was completely gone when I picked up my car! The leather looks shiny and new, and they even shampooed the boy’s booster seats, which was an unexpected surprise! I’ll definitely be back again after the next sports season and/or winter!
Usually get my car detailed at delta sonic but I havent been happy with the results lately. I saw Bison Automotive was having a spring special for half off on detailing so I decided to give them a try. They did a fantastic job. Im really happy with the results, and for half what I would have paid regularly it was a great value too!
The guys are so helpful and always get the job done asap. Great mechanics!
Excellent shop! This is the second time a dealer’s shop -who shall remain nameless-over diagnosed with the concomitant overcharge for a service Bison took care of at a lower cost. Issues my wife had with her Prius that the dealer could not solve-in this case a dying battery- were quickly diagnosed by Bison. From now on this is going to be my go to mechanic.
This is one of the few shops Ill trust with my cars! These are well trained, thorough, and very skilled mechanics. Though the work is top-notch, the prices are still fair.
I came to Bison Automotive on recommendation of my girlfriend, and am very happy I brought my Subaru Outback here! For many years I had been using the services of the dealership from which I bought the car, but wanted to find someplace closer after moving. I brought my car in for an oil change, but its a 2010, so wear and tear is always an issue, and Bob and his team identified several areas of concern. They provided me with photos and gave me a great breakdown of what the more urgent issues were and what could wait. I had the immediate concerns taken care of that day and came back a week later to take care of the rest. I felt that the cost was very reasonable and feel lucky to have found someone I can trust with my car.
The detail job that they did to my car was awesome! It looks like it just got off the showroom floor. I am more than pleased and would definitely recommend Bison Automotive. And I will use their service again.
Got detailing done by Bison Automotive and they did a nice job. As my passenger seat dried I noticed some marks where it was pretty bad before I brought it in. The owner happened to contact me and ask how things went and when I told him about the marks he said to just stop in and theyll hit that part again. Stopped in for 5 minutes and they got the rest out. Class acts at Bison Automotive.
Very professional but personable and did the work efficiently and expediently.Definitely earned my return business.
Bison was able to get me in quickly. They identified the issue and addressed it quickly. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent.
Excellent service and value for the money!
The Bison staff is always proactive. They keep my car running at its best. Professional. Courteous. Can’t say enough. Thanks!
Friendly, trustworthy staff. Good work and you know youre not getting ripped off.
Great service at a fair price.
Had a flat tire and no spare.bought tires and alignment, buicks driving like new.staff helpful and did great work.highly recommended.
I’m always able to get in within 24hours for any issues or if I’m behind on scheduling an apt. Bob and his team are flexible, knowledgeable and willing to help however they can. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!
Family run business for over two decades. Very dependable, good pricing, great communication, never recommending service or repairs that are not needed. I bring four of our cars to this garage. Never had a problem. I highly recommend!!!
EXCELLENT SERVICE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE SO DETAILED (INSIDE AND OUT). VERY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS, AND HONEST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AUTOMOBILE SHOP.
Bison fleet and John Constantine are without a doubt the best in the business! They have a very knowledgeable staff and superior tech’s who found the problem and got me back on the road quickly and they did a great job! Thank you John and Bison Fleet ! Jim O’C
Even without appointment they get you in and out same day most of the times. I almost always drop my car off though, not sure how quick they can really turn the car around. They do a fantastic inspection when you take it in for repairs. They send an email with pictures so you can really tell what the problems are without having to go back to the shop. Theyre prices are quite reasonable.I give 4 stars because I have brought my car on multiple times because it shakes on the highway. After spending hundreds of dollars the problem is not 100% gone. That might not be from them, but when they say its fixed and you find out its not, it doesnt leave the best feeling. I still go there for all my car work.
These folks are GREAT! Will do exactly what needs to be done, and not try to sell you on what you don’t need. We also had them detail the interior of our car. A very fair price and it looks LIKE NEW. I’m so happy!
I needed a NY State inspection and everyone I called said they were too busy - but Bison had me come by later that day! The owner was SUPER nice and had me in and out and done so quick I almost could not believe it!! Highly recommend their friendly service with a smile.
I wanted to give only 4 with good intention. I went there in the morning and I think only finished the car by late afternoon, it was all wet (81F outside). Rather than they hang the parts out to sun, put into the car all wet.. Seatbelts and surroundings were not properly cleaned. Otherwise they did good job. When I opened the hood I was surprised how well they cleaned the engine and part which leaves me 5* them. Thanks again for the good service. /Ill take care of the seat belt area.
I admit that my Experience wasn’t the greatest; Although my Car definitely feel different about it. I left my Car to be Detailed and Buffed Out after discussing with the Son exactly what I wanted done. I was given a quote of $250 and it would take about 4-5 hours.Between those 4-5 hours, it was decided that the Inside of my Car should also be Detailed and that I should be the one that would pay for it. Therefore my Car had to spend the night, not considering the inconvenience of that and I was charged $380 instead of $250. I felt that was Totally Unfair with the Real Struggle that Everyone is going through right now, even if they do feel that they could spend $250 out of their Household Budget for some kind of Piece of Mind.Again, the Car Did Look Beautiful. Thanks
Phenomenal.. first rate service. My truck looks brand new. Will go again for sure👍
Went for just an oil change on July 2020. When I made the appointment online I told Bison Automotive that getting to the oil filter would be more difficult than most other vehicles. They knew this ahead of time. So when I dropped my car off on time they told me I had to bring it back a second time just to get to oil filter. For such a professional auto repair shop it should not take two visits just to do an oil change and an oil filter change. Plus they charge me over $130 for an oil change. Outrageous. Even for synthetic oil it should not cost over $130 for an oil change. Thank God I have other resources I can go to next time thanks to my new work schedule where I can get the same service in one day for abou half the price. Sorry Bison Automotive not worth the hassle to take two days to do an oil change for over $130. Not again. Why people like spending that outrageous amount of money is beyond me. I cannot afford to do this.
My car came back shiny and the interior has never been cleaner
Fast, efficient professional service, start to finish. They buffed, cleaned, polished, waxed my Mustang back to show room beauty! Awesome workmanship with much appreciated customer service! Ill be back for routine car care. Thrilled to find a local place to help care for my Mustang. Thanks Bison Auto!!
Only place i bring my bikes for inspection, he always takes time to do it even if you just show up.
Ive been hesitant to write this review for a few days. I went in to get the tints on my windows removed and, to be completely fair, they were efficient and friendly and the pricing is totally fair. No issues there.I do think that potential customers should be aware that no one who works here wears a mask. There were probably 5-7 employees working at the time. I suppose what they choose to do while they actually work on the cars is up to them, but I found it somewhat strange that they would come into the small waiting area to talk to customers without any type of face covering. A good portion of the customers werent wearing masks either. Due to covid restrictions I couldnt wait in the starbucks across the street and it was raining pretty heavily so I couldnt wait outside.I understand businesses are struggling right now and I dont enjoy writing any type of negative review. But since no other reviews mention this I feel its only fair that people, especially those who are immunocompromised, are aware of what they might be walking into. Like I said, besides this issue everything else was great.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff with fair prices
Each time I bring my vehicle to Bison Automotive, they are knowledgeable, quick, and thorough. I am pleased with their service, especially because they explain any issues with the vehicle and provide suggestions. I have recommended them to friends and will continue to!
Change coolant to be better for cold weather
Fast, thorough and courteous service
Ive known Bob the owner for years my old company used to do a lot of business with him and him and his head mechanic Charlie are really good at what they do
Saturday morning the vehicle wouldnt start. AAA says need new battery.Well, 9am and they can fit me in. Wow. Charlie was accommodating and courteous.A clean, professional business. Very satisfied. I will consider them for any repair. And you should too.Thanks guys!
Great car repair shop. Close enough for me to leave my car and wall home.
Prompt, friendly, helpful and thorough service.
GREAT customer service. Treats u like family. Very clean waiting area. Had car detailed and it looks BEAUTIFUL. I recommend anyone to come there for service. Very honest in his work.
The service is fine and fast. I was able to find the part I needed cheaper than what they quoted me, which they said I wouldn’t be able to do. So I felt like I was being overcharged due to lack of communication. But I felt the service in general was pretty good and local.
I would definitely recommend Bison Automotive Shop for any and all vehicle services👍🏿
The best shop in BUFFALO for detailing your car. Ive been a CUSTOMER for years and never a disappointment. They are truly craftsmen in doing quality work. I wouldnt trust my car anywhere except BISON.
Had an estimate done at this shop several weeks earlier for another problem and all went well so I trusted to return for more work- even wrote Bob Gugino a great review. Went Thursday (1/7/21)to get my heat repaired, Bob said everything would be done that day. He called and said vehicle fixed. Charged me 600 dollars!!! I pick up my vehicle and heat was blasting and couldnt shut off nor adjust. So I take vehicle back and was told the part they installed was defective (part should have been tested before installation) .Bob tells me its not his fault and he will call me Friday by 2p.m. to install new part. 2p.m. comes and goes and no call from Bob. Now its Saturday and vehicle still not fixed. I thought this was an honest shop, boy was I wrong. Now I just want my money back. Asked Bob for my money back on Sat and he flew into a rage and told me to get out! I wasnt about to let him rob me so I had to call the cops - then he agreed to fix the vehicle but not to return my money. Took about 10 minutes - even though he charged me a couple hours of labor. And when I got my vehicle back the dash panel was broken by his shop (when I told him all he said was have a nice day - sarcastically). Worst automotive business I have ever been to in my life. I would not recommend Bison Automotive to anyone after what I experienced. I got roped in by his t.v. commercials, big mistake on my part. I would also recommend DONT hand over one nickel until first checking your vehicle to make sure repairs were actually done properly. Thats my review.
Bob and his team do a great job. I had a truck detailed with some pretty decent scratches. It looked 5x better after they worked on it and made a big difference in the resale value. The mechanical work they did for me was a fair price and the mechanic Charlie called me multiple times to fill me in on the progress. They are very fair and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend trying Bison out for your automotive needs!
Bison is great! I take my Mazda 2 to Bison for state inspections and they never fail to impress me with their service. Their prices are competitive and theyre competent and fair! I highly recommend Bison Automotive!
Truly excellent garage. I was in a bind when my car unexpectedly stalled and wouldnt start. Even over the phone the staff was super helpful. Even the driver of the tow-truck that came to pick me up and bring me to the garage knew about Bison and assured me that my car was in good hands. Cant say Ive found any reason to disagree, either, they made a disaster very easy to deal with.
Having my car serviced at Bison was excellent and a very good value. I have never had a bad experience at Bison Automotive.
Excellence service. Polite. 2015 Jetta door lock malfunction was no problem. Is now my 1st choice for ANY vehicle repairs
It was a great experience. I needed my headlight completely replaced. The part was ordered from my dealer. The replacement took about an hour. What was quoted for cost was accurate and expected. Everyone there is always so kind to me. Thank you!
Had my vehicle towed to Bison Automotive when the tow truck driver picked up my vehicle it was starting and driving ..today I called to inquire about the vehicle and they told me that there was nothing they could do to fix it so when the tow truck driver picked up the vehicle from Bison it wouldnt start at all no lights no nothing ..I called Bison upon receiving my vehicle to ask why doesnt my car stat and the.guy who answered the phone was very irate telling me basically Im lying..I thought I could trust this place but they screws me just like the other mechanics do! I wont be recommending this place to people of color! I felt like I was disrespted as a customer! Thumbs down to this place
Got my AC charged and my cabin air filter changed. Explained everything in detail as what was being done. Will be returning for follow up visit.
Always very friendly and professional. I always have my car detailed there since they do a fantastic job. I took it in for a special deal detail. I discussed having some botched scratch repairs (mine) fixed as well as other fresh scratches and a small rust area. Its an older car, but its important to me that the car looks good. We decided on a detailing with buffing (more expensive) but totally worth it. The car looked and smelled brand new. There were no scratches visible anymore. I could not have been happier. Bob promised a gorgeous looking car and he delivered. Dropped it off in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon. Sweet looking ride!
I found Bison Automotive to be very inviting. It was well maintained, the staff were very courteous. When their was an issue with my vehicle, I was taken back as my car was on the lift so they could explain and show me what exactly was wrong with my vehicle . It was nice to be spoken to in a manner in which it was easy to understand, as I know very little in regards to vehicle maintenance and wear and tear. They were timely and I also received messages on the continual status of my vehicle while it was in. That was nice not to have to wonder all day! Thanks Bison!
Bob has always been there for me when I need something major fixed or just your normal routine quick fix. He’s very reasonable and gives you the feeling he’s truly looking out for your best interest, as he’s genuine and never pushes towards fixing other parts that don’t need to be fixed or weren’t the reason you brought the car in. Everyone that I have come in contact with that works for Bob displays the same professional and genuine courtesy. Highly recommend Bison Automotive to anyone in need of repairs or routine maintenance on their vehicles.
I was 400 miles from home on a Saturday when the front end on my car started making a strange noise. I was extremely lucky to find Bison Garage. Robert looked after my car as soon as he could and fixed the problem! Thanks so much to this award winning garage!
Bob and the staff at Bison are top notch! I wouldn’t trust my car to anyone else. The work is professionally done, and the prices are very reasonable.
Bison Automotive on Kenmore Ave. is outstanding! Customer service, car service and prices can’t be beat. On numerous occasions they have taken my car immediately and had it fixed by the end of the day. All of the employees go out of their way to be kind, accommodating and thorough. I highly recommend visiting Bison Automotive the next time your car needs servicing.
Bob and his team are honest and hard working. Im always pleased with their work. And they dont try to sell more than I need. When I purchased a used car from a friend, they even gave the car a quick visual inspection to make sure I wasnt missing anything. I was more than happy to return to them with a wish-list of a few modifications I wanted to make after the fact.
Thank you so much!! You guys did a wonderful job on my car.
Recently went on a weekend trip to Buffalo to visit family and had some unexpected car trouble. Called on a whim, frantically hoping I’d be able to get it assessed/fixed to make it home to Vermont the next day. They were able to squeeze me in, thankfully, and fixed the issue and explained in detail what was wrong and what my car would need after I got back home. I am so thankful for the kind employees and the fact that I was able to get home with three little kids safely! They helped make an already incredibly stressful weekend a little less so. Highly recommend. Thank you again!
Bison Automotive is the best place I’ve been to for automotive service. The owner greeted me and was extremely friendly and informative. The service I received was fast and efficient. I won’t take my vehicle anywhere else.
The employees at Bison Auto are some of the friendliest mechanics Ive ever worked with, and are always very thorough with their work. Im easily confused by vehicles, but Bison always takes the time to make sure that I understand what theyve done at the end of a session.
Very reliable, upfront company. Had an accident on interstate 90 looking for repair shop called many different places and Bison Automotive told me to bring my vehicle right in. I got the service I was looking for. Being from out of the area it was hard to find someone to trust and Bison Automotive was right for me! Great company great service! Thanks again!
Always get a quick estimate and the job is done in a timely manner. Bob keeps my old car in good running condition.
Bob and his team are excellent, honest, and patient. They will take time to answer any and all questions you may have and they are very thorough. Great work every time!
They were able to take my car the same day I called and fixed it the same day too so I was able to pick it up after work. they keep me updated with the process through emails. They’re so good and are my #1 choice! Thank you Bison!
Bought tires from here. The owner went over pricing, showed me his pricing on the screen and told me their flat fee for tire which included installation at $25 a piece. I thought that it was fair.I went back a few weeks later because my one tire was leaking air. He let me know it was a problem with the valve stem and that it was $170(!) to replace. I understood and agreed. The next day I stopped in and they had the part shipped. They did some work on it and greeted me with good news.. they said 90% of the time the valve stems break but this time they were able to keep it intact and clean it up.Total charge was $27 and my leak is fixed. Not often a mechanic quotes a price then comes back at 1/7 the price. Great experience... I enjoyed the coffee and wifi while I briefly waited as well.
I had a great experience with this mechanic. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable. The prices were fair and they finished my brake cleaning in under an hour. No up-selling and they did a fantastic job on my brakes. Highly recommend this mechanic.
Ive been taking my cars to Bison for years and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, trustworthy mechanic! They have always gotten me in as soon as possible whether I needed maintenance or repairs on my vehicles. They have consistently provided excellent, friendly service as well as follow-up afterward to make sure I was completely satisfied. They take great care of my vehicles and I never worry that I am being ripped off.
Very satisfied with the service at Bison Automotive! In and out in one day with no time lost at work. Thx Bob G!
I first used their service when my battery died while on the job. They came and replaced it immediately and I was very happy with the service. I then took my work truck in for a professional detail. It looked like it was never used for work before -- amazing attention to detail! I have now gone back for inspections, oil changes, etc with my work truck and family vehicle. Highly recommend!!
Blown away by the care I received from this place. Pulled up and got my tire replaced within a half hour at 5pm on a Monday after another place turned me down. Recommend!
I wanted Bison Automotive to work on my auto as a result of the service they provided the first time I brought my car there. I was a satisfied customer that time and I am definitely a satisfied customer this time.Thank-you Bob.
Charlie fit me in and took car of my vehicle like it was his own! They went above and beyond detailing my car and doing some odds and ends up keep. They pointed out things to address but were not pushy about it, rather offered their services. Charlie was easy to talk to and carried out a conversation without feeling like I was being pushed into somthing or out the door. Their prices are very fair and competitive especially for the quality work they do. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
The best place to get your vehicle detailed. That car wash chain cant come close to what Bison does. If you really want your car cleaned, bring it to Bison.
They are compassionate people here! Family owned place. They serviced my Mercedes Benz C Class 300. I needed a battery and several light bulbs replaced. They also check my tire pressure n filled tires. As my sensors were on. They reset everything in the vehicle...which with foreign cars this takes extra know how! No complaints. They have late hours til 6p and I was treated with nothing but respect!!!
Mr. Gugino is always nice friendly and honest.
They fit my car in the same day I called and did an amazing job detailing it! The price was very reasonable.Update - if I could give 10 stars I would. Brought 2012 car in for Check Engine light. Charlie looked at it right away and gave me an estimate. He called me 10 minutes later to say Ford had an extended warranty coverage and to call a dealer. He saved me several hundred dollars. Truly a special person and a special business!!!
Bison Automotive & detail is a small family operation that can easily compete with the big guys. I’ve been a customer for several years and am glad to have them.
Wonderful, fast, and very honest! Will most definitely bring my vehicle back! Convenient location! Thank you a ton!
Ive been taking my car here for three years and have only ever received great, professional service. Bob and his staff are quick, reliable, incredibly friendly. Not only have I never felt pressured to pay for unnecessary repairs or upgrades, Bob once talked me OUT of getting snow tires! They are very patient and respectful, even given my level of car maintenance knowledge (none). Seriously, these guys are the best and I would recommend them to anyone.
I needed to get my car’s battery replaced, so a technician from Bison came to my workplace to test the battery. Then he sent me to Bison to get a new battery. Everyone I spoke to was incredibly kind and friendly. My battery was replaced and I was on my way within half an hour. It was a very positive experience. I could not recommend Bison highly enough.
Always helpful and quick! They explain things well and are very trustworthy!We only go to them and appreciate their hard work and care!
They did an excellent job detailing my car!
Quick and efficient service
Bison Auto was fast and efficient considering the work i needed to have done. Price was what i was quoted and even a bit less. The promotional discounts help.
My SUV looks like new at 115k miles. Very Fast checkout and on my way. Highly reccomend Bison Automotive
This is the second time Ive taken my car in for service at Bison. Both times Ive had a great experience. Bob and his mechanics are just top drawer professionals - courteous, efficient, thorough. i cant say enough about them.
Both experiences I have had with Bison Auto have been positive. They are good, honest workers and take the time to explain things to you. They are fair and do a great job. Highly recommended
Great service! Bob is always helpful and goes that extra mile. Good people here!
Always kind, always honest, very transparent on times and costs. I frequently recommend to friends!
Bob and staff were more than professional in helping me with a brake issue since 2016! Today, Issue solved! Staff were friendly, professional and patient as they worked through this challenging and frustrating issue for both of us. Thank you Bob and staff. Brakes feel better.....Bison Stand Behind their work!
I went to Bison for an oil change and was treated with courtesy and respect. Everything went smoothly and when I returned to pick up my car Bob gave me some good advice on my tires and offered me a deal. I will definitely take my car back to Bison.
Absolutely the best service center Ive ever dealt with. Bob and crew are awesome. Best customer Ive experienced in any industry. Plus, with Saturday hours, Bison cant be beat.
I had my car detailed and the car is beautiful. Everything was spotless from front to back. Bob provided fantastic support when I had to make a change. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Ive been going here for a couple years now. Bob and his team have always given me good service. Theyve treated me fairly, even when it cost them opportunities to charge me more.
The mechanics took their time to show me exactly where the issues were on my vehicle, told me what needed to be done, gave me a verbal estimate and left it up to me to make the decision on having the repair done at a later date (alignment issue). These issues were already known to me and were not a surprise. I loved the fact that they did not try to BS me around and tell me I needed this or that. What surprised me is that they actually took the car for a test drive first. I dont know how many mechanics I have seen in the past that have just pulled my car directly into the shop and started to work on it without even testing it first.While I was waiting to talk to the gentleman about my vehicle, I observed him giving another customer a break on her bill, without charge, as there was nothing wrong with her vehicle except a lose gas cap. I have been to other shops that would have taken advantage of the situation.I will be happy to return to their shop when I need future work I can not complete myself.Customer service was an A+. I highly recommend them. For once someone wasnt trying to take me for whatever they could get out of it.Keep up the great work guys.
