Fortunately for me Vargas has been able assist me with repairs to my vehicle twice this year. Both times were repairs through insurance. As much of a headache insurance claims are to deal with, Sherry @Vargas has been AMAZING every step of the way. The mechanics are quick and proficient and go above and beyond for their customers! I would absolutely recommend them and know I have an ace in the hole for my vehicle repairs.

I called after finding my tire go flat on my lunch break and I was able to set up a time to come down to get it repaired DURING my lunch break. The staff was very accommodating and kind during the whole process and I couldnt have asked for better service! Very highly recommended!

Using Vargas for my auto maintenance and repair is a no brainer. They do whats right for you. Fair, honest, genuine, and reasonable. Refreshing these days.

I went there to get my state inspection done and tires replaced. Did a great job with the tire replacement. However they said my back light bulb popped and said they would replace it too. Paid for all the fees then a week later I got a ticket for my backlight being out. 😑 I’ll be sure to double check my vehicle myself after every inspection from now on. No worries I bought and installed a new bulb myself.

Brought in my BMX X5 for a trusted diagnostic on my front driver side wheel. Within 30mins they were able to tell me exactly what was wrong. The staff was very friendly and informative. The mechanic even went out of his way to show me how to check my oil level. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for honesty and great service. Thank you to everyone at via auto !!

I apologize about the mishap with the rating, the first time was not done intentionally, that happens when you give you 8year old your cell phone. The experience that I did have when Visting your establishment was very pleasant. Also thank you for the estimate on the issue with my car. I am looking forward to having the issue with my power steering issue resolved. When researching the prices of the parts it came to about close to $300.00 which leaves the labor cost and thats close to about $402.00. Without the information you provided me I would have been shelling out money to try to find the problem. Greatly appreciated all that you did for me. Hope to see you soon.

My partner and I got our NYS inspections here. He needed a minor fix to his car and Vargas was able to order the part and replace it in less than 48 hours at a very reasonable price. It would have cost more to order the part online and fix it ourselves than it cost for the inspection, labor and repair altogether! We were impressed.

I want to Thank Kim and Carlos !! They go above and beyond with their customers. I was in an accident, Kim took care of all the details with the insurance company as they were giving me the run around on my vehicle. insurance company told me to have it towed that they were not going to pay. Carlos was super nice and allowed it to stay there. Insurance company ended up doing what they were suppose to do. What makes a lifetime customer is how we are treated and how we are dealt with, they have a lifetime customer here. Vargas automotive knows how to talk to and deal with their customers !! Thanks Carlos and Kim !!

Had an inspection here . Needed some front end work. Considered getting it done there. Was gonna price out the work. But after the condescending and pushy attitude I got from the office manager, I will not be getting this or any work in the future from this garage. Good job convincing me to take my business elsewhere .

I’ve been here a couple times now and each time has been great! I had an issue with the radiator on my 06 Explorer and they were able to pinpoint the issue as well as notify me of a potential transmission line issue. They were honest and up front with costs and potential costs of full replacement. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and I will be back for all my vehicle needs!

Review №26

I brought my Subaru forester to a corporate establishment to get an estimate on if i needed to get an alignment or replace a ball joint and to get all 4 new tires put on and didnt have the best experience. They told me I had to replace 1600 dollars worth of work on my car before they even put the tires on and or do an alignment. I heard about vargas Auto repair and collision and brought my car here and they explained that they were able to put all 4 tires on and an alignment and that i did not need to get any of the work done that I was told the first time. Such a great experience and super helpful and professional. If anyone needs any work on there cars, I highly recommend vargas Auto repair and collision. Bravo!

Excellent Customer Service! I got into a fender bender a few days before my vacation. They were very accommodating to my schedule. And while I was away they found additional parts that needed replacement not repair. They contacted my insurance and resolved it all for me! I was very happy that they even stayed late on a Saturday to finish my car because I needed it before Monday. Awesome job, thank you Vargas Automotive! I highly recommend and will continue to recommend.

Where do I begin...One Saturday morning around 9:30am I decided to back my truck into a shelving unit in my garage. I ended up scraping and denting my back fender and ripping one of my tail lights off. In a panic (while crying like a baby :) ), I called several different collision shops in the hopes that someone could help me out ASAP because my truck is my baby and I couldnt drive around with a tail light dangling from the back. I ended up calling Vargas because they were the only place that didnt close early on Saturday. Kim answered the phone and I told her my story. She had me bring my truck in immediately and when I got there, they quickly looked at my truck and knew that it wasnt a one day fix (which I already knew) and neatly taped my existing tail light to my truck so that I could drive it until I could bring it in to be fixed. (It was much better than my emotional duct taping job that I did before driving to them in the first place.) Kim was very honest with me and got me an estimate on Monday morning, as promised. I dropped my truck off Monday evening after work and had it back on Thursday. IT LOOKS AMAZING. No scrapes or dents, shiny new paint (they even cleaned up the rest of the truck so it sparkled for me), and a new tail light all for less than what I would have paid at a dealership. Honestly, it looked better than it did before I backed it into the shelves. In addition to the great job that they did- everyone was friendly, which in todays world is very rare. Thank you Vargas Auto Repair!

Vargas Auto has been excellent in providing me with the care and attention needed for my vehicle. The front end is always friendly and works with customers to ensure prompt and timely service. I recommend Vargas Auto to anyone seeking a vehicle repair solution.

I’ve been taking my Camry to Carlos now for about 2yrs now. While yes he’s family, I’ve watched him interact with customers bringing their cars in & he keeps it real with them & he’s very upfront with them. He deals with them the same way he does me. He doesn’t BS them & try to up sell them for stuff they don’t need. Him & his team do great work!

Came in to get a headlight replaced, and they were speedy in getting my car taken care of, even though I came in without an appointment. Cheaper cost than I expected, and friendly service which is always a nice bonus. I’m from out of town, so I probably won’t be able to come back here, but I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fairly priced, and friendly mechanic in the area

I went to Vargas for a photo inspection. Not only was Carlos very friendly, but he also performed the inspection in a timely manner. The office/waiting room was clean and air conditioned. If you are looking for an auto shop, I highly recommend that you go to or consider Vargas Auto Repair & Collision.

My first experience with Vargas Auto i was very impressed. Kim at the front desk is very kind and friendly and so easy to talk to. My mechanic Pete was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. There was great communication by calling me and keeping me updated which i really appreciated and answering any questions or concerns i had. He gave me clear details explaining what repairs were needed and the service was fast and efficient which was also appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my vehicle was in good hands. Their website is also convenient and helpful it gives you a round about price on what your looking to get repaired and you can select a time slot that will work for you to get your car in their garage. My overall experience was absoultey great. I would/will definitely recommend to family and friends.

The worst car experience of my life. They ran no diagnostic of my vehicle. What car shop does this!?! Brought in for inspection and O2 sensor. Wrong sensor was fixed. Charged an arm and a leg for it as well. Rigged my car so i can be raped furthermore if i was to take it back to them. Also said codes were cleared as they were not. No inspection was given. Icing on the cake....THEY STOLE CHANGE OUT OF MY CAR!! What kind of service is that? they offer a $5 coupon if you write a google review. What is $5 off of Rape. Nothing really. You know all these reviews are fake or family. No real car shop will have a 4.9 review rating. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

I found this place by accident (no pun intended) I was hit and was trying to find a place to repair my vehicle. I felt very comfortable like I knew I could trust Carlos to get my car fixed. This place did an amazing job, very helpful that I came back for an oil change and the process was quick. Most definitely have been recommending their service to friends.

Back in 2015 Vargas auto installed the Intoxalock breathalyzer system in my truck and I havent had a single problem with it since. The staff and owner have always been helpful and professional.

In October I brought my car in for new brakes and I wasnt sure if I needed an alignment. My brakes were replaced quickly and when an issue occurred I was taken into the shop and showed what else was wrong. I really appreciate the fact that I was shown what the issue was, and that they explained what would need to be done to fix it. Other shops Ive previously been too, have charged me for things that I didnt ask to have done. I have nothing but good things to say about Vargas and their staff. As a young woman, finding an auto shop that doesnt try to over charge you or talk down to you like you are stupid is hard. My experience with Vargas was the complete opposite and I would recommend them to anyone that needs work done on their car. Excellent customer service, informed staff, polite, respectful, and genuine.

A little late on the review, but wanted to give some feedback. Had body and paint work done back in early August on my 2000 Acura TL, and was/still am very pleased with the results. The job was done within the time frame Carlos quoted and the price was better then the other half-dozen places I got a quote from. Carlos was straightforward on addressing how the work was going to be done. They also took care of a small issue I had with my grill a week after the initial work was complete, at no cost. Overall good experience.

As a grandmother of a young RIT student, I had given my older Audi Quattro to him for use in the rugged New York winters. We are from New Hampshire & have rugged winters, too. When the heater core went unexpectedly in the car, we were in a tight spot. 600 miles from NH and we do not know a soul in Rochester! Kim & Pete were outstanding!My husband, who teaches Automotive Technology in a high school in NH, knew that the car was no cream puff! We just needed him to be able to come home for Thanksgiving. Caring, turning around a rather tough assignment, and a fair price, the establishment has gained our great respect and gratitude. Thanks Kim & Peter!

Stopped by for a simple photo inspection. I arrived at 4:30p and was told they stop doing them at 4:30p. I told the women that the website said they do them until 5p but she laughed and walked away. Even if they did stop at 4:30p it takes 5 minutes to take pictures of a new vehicle. I doubled checked the photo inspection listings near me provided by my insurance company it says MWF until 5, maybe they should update that. I was also looking for a future mechanic for any issues but I will not be coming back here after that poor customer experience. Id rather drive the extra 10 minutes to go to a better shop.
