I-86 Truck Repair & Auto Service

Paul Defrisco

I brought my medium duty (big) truck there for an alignment. I felt it was off some because of some tire wear. They pulled the truck in and I followed but was asked to leave the shop. No big deal I understand "insurance" . They ended up saying they couldn't do the alignment because one of the front tires needed to be replaced, and would recommend getting both tires replaced then do the alignment. They charged me $97.15 for doing nothing to the truck that I wanted. Seems to me a simple look at the truck tires could have told them that if they wouldn't do it without new tires without pulling it in and charging me. Or maybe they just wanted the tire sale. I was a little aggravated and told him but paid the bill. This actually was a year ago but I just came across the receipt wile I was near the computer and decided to let people know about it.

I was recommended to come here by a friend. After traveling across the country I was due for an oil change but (as a female especially) was nervous about finding a place I could trust. I cannot recommend this place more. They were friendly and approachable, never felt rushed or swindled and always respected. They were very thorough with my car from start to finish. They were so kind and loving to my dog who tagged along, even brought out water and treats for her. I’ve paid the same price elsewhere for far less service and hospitality. This was exceptional service. I-86 is a great group of down to earth, kind and professional people. I will be back again for sure. Looking forward to it!

I am an over-the-road trucker, and I have been criss-crossing the United States for over 20 years. I would have to say that in all my years on the road, these guys provided the best customer service experience I've ever encountered anywhere. Just real nice friendly folks. :) I did a pre-trip inspection on my semi truck this morning, and discovered I had a flat tire. Because it costs about $300 for a road service vehicle to come out, I decided to limp the 80 miles to their shop. I found them on truckdown.com, and had no idea if they were any good or not. Needless to say, they exceeded all of my expectations, save for one. I will address that one issue at the end of this review. It is blitz week, when DOT inspectors at the scales routinely pull in every truck for inspections, for a 7-Day period every year. It is insanely hard to get any work done on a truck during this week, because every trucker is getting last minute work done, so they can avoid problems with the DOT. I had been to seven different truck stops a few days earlier, trying to get another flat tire repaired. So, when I rolled into their shop, I wasn't expecting to get work done right away. It was a very pleasant surprise when they told me to immediately back up to a door. In the shop, I was surprised again. A very nicely furnished lounge, with free chocolate and a Keurig coffee machine. :0 I had a nice conversation with Rick about his service in the Air Force, and with Tina about her time as an over-the-road trucker, before she settled down at this company. The shop did a fantastic job, fixed my tire expertly, and even gave my dog Lucy a biscuit for the road! :0 I would highly recommend this shop to anyone wanting to get service done on their car or semi truck. These are great people who take pride in their work. I believe they work on all makes, but are Ford diesel specialists. They even offered me some advice on resurrecting a dead diesel F-250 pickup I have sitting in my yard. Unfortunately, my yard is in Knoxville, Tennessee, or I would definitely have them work on it. :). Heck, I might end up throwing my pickup on a flatbed, hauling it to Falconer, NY, and having them work on it anyway. ;) They are that good! So, why did I give them four, instead of five stars? Price. I was a little surprised by the bill. As I mentioned above, I had an identical flat tire repair done a few days ago, at a name brand truck stop. The bill was literally less than a third of what I was charged at this shop. I was expecting to pay somewhere between 50 and $100, and it was significantly more than that. Later, I called the shop and asked them to break down the bill for me. They were very courteous, and explained that I had been charged a drive-in fee. I've never encountered this before. Evidently, they had to take one of their technicians off a repair in progress, so that they could get me back on the road as quickly as possible. I appreciate that, but I would have liked to have been notified about that beforehand. I still saved a lot of time and money over what it would have cost, had I waited for a mobile repair service, but I paid a lot more than I would have, had I got the repair done at a truck stop chain. Then again, I probably would have had to wait a very, very long time, and would not have had anywhere near as good a customer service experience. To sum up, I greatly enjoyed meeting the people who work at this place, and I'm very satisfied with their work. I would use them again for any kind of truck repair, but probably not for tire repair, because of the aforementioned drive-in fee. Maybe this is a common thing in New York state? I don't know. I would recommend this place to any of my trucker friends, but would counsel them to ask about the drive-in fee first. That way, there would be no unpleasant surprises. If not for that fee, I would have given this shop more than five stars. Maybe seven or eight stars. :) Thank you I-86 Auto and Truck Repair!

Came for a wheel alignment and was greeted with the best hospitality at an auto care center I’ve ever experienced, super quick on setting up an appointment and even quicker on the service time. Was offered complimentary drinks and snacks whilst in the waiting room, and they went above and beyond by making sure I knew of potential problems that my specific vehicle can have. 100% recommend especially for Diesal work if your in the local area.
