Scheduled an oil change & car inspection quicker than any other place around (got me in the next morning!) and was finished within an hour, not even 40 minutes. I'm super grateful to these guys! Thanks for the quick & painless visit! Service: Oil change

Had to get an state inspection asap. They got me in and out super quick! I had my daughter with me and I was surprised and so happy to see children's books in the waiting room. Awesome customer service! I will be taking all my vehicles to this mechanic, and I will be directing family and friends!

Everyone at S. Niagara Repair is very professional and friendly. They really know their stuff and have very affordable prices. Because they are privately owned it's far more personable than commercial repair shops where you're just another number. They have fixed a myriad of problems that my car has had over the years and I've never had an issue. I definitely recommend them.

This shop is awesome. I was stuck away from home and they took me in right away. Found the problem really fast and started to work. They could not find anywhere local that had my part in stock so instead of me being stuck the re e all day they sent one of there guys to pick up the part needed. That is awesome service that you just don't find much of any more. if you need your car worked on I highly recommend bringing your car here.
