What clients say about Thrift King Auto Services in Cold Spring Harbor (NY)
Big thank you to the guys here. I have been over my mileage for an oil change. They got me in and it took no time at all. They are pretty busy but I caught them at a random time. Filled my washer fluid, checked my air pressure and made sure the good ol truck with 228k was good to go. Very fair and trustworthy and wont try to sell you things that you don’t need. Highly recommend
Rob and his team are the best in the biz. They are honest about their work and I trust them wholeheartedly. They always go above and beyond for me. We have been going to Thrift King for years and every time it’s a wonderful and professional experience. Highly highly recommend. It’s conveniently located right off the Main Street. If you want honest and great prices - look no further. We are beyond lucky to have these guys in town.
Local repair shop with super nice mechanics. Costs are very reasonable and the work is excellent and on time. No BS cost estimates or surprises. This is what I'd expect and hope for when looking for a local repair shop.
I trust Rob and his crew at Thruft King. Rob is very thorough in identifying and explaining problems as well as laying out possible solutions and costs. He was recommended to me by a friend and I will do the same.
Hard to believe anyone would give Rob and his team anything less than five stars. I've been taking my cars to them for years and they are honest, hard-working experts who explain everything clearly and often give me multiple options when I'm looking to save money. Especially on my older car, which is basically held together with wire and string at this point. I love Cold Spring for many reasons, and Thrift King is high up on the list!
Rob is courteous and fair. His estimate to repair my truck was 100% accurate compared to the final cost. All repairs were completed within one day! He’s earned my business.
Rob and his great team are a community treasure. I was on my way to the train station this morning, when my car gave out. Not only did they service it immediately, but they drove me to the train station so I wouldn’t miss an important meeting. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and care.
Our Dad brought his cars here for years for tune-ups and repairs. When Dad was no longer able to drive, the folks at Thrift King did a superb job of getting the car tuned up and ready for sale. These guys are great!
Consistently great service on all levels- I'm so glad that Rob and his team are here in this town, and I appreciate the time Rob takes to explain everything so well!
Probably the best experience I’ve ever had with any auto shop. Every single one of them were amazing and fast. Can’t say enough good things. Highly recommend this place!!!
Could not be more grateful to Rob and his team at Thrift King Auto Services. Honest, reliable, kind, prompt and affordable. What more could you ask for in an auto mechanic?
I feel so lucky to have found Rob and his crew! Great quality work -- reliable, and trustworthy. Can't tell you how many times Rob has tried to talk me out of work being done to save me money. Highly recommend!
These guys are awesome! Fair prices and quick turn around. Rob is always super helpful and good with showing you things and explaining them thoroughly.
Rob and his team are the absolute best. My SUV was making an insane sound, flashing a check-engine light, and it was all going down 24 hours before the shop was slated to close for July 4th holiday (and they were fully booked already). Not only did they diagnose the issue, order and install the parts, they got it all done super-fast at a very reasonable price *in less than 2 days*. Champs!!
Rob is so helpful and professional. The team here is great too. They've helped me with car issues from tiny to huge on numerous occasions and have always done a great job. As someone who does not know the first thing about cars, I'm always nervous people at auto shops are going to talk circles around me and convince me I need something I don't. I've never felt that at Thrift King and am happy to have found a place that makes auto repair easy. Quick and fair prices are a huge plus too!
Great attention to detail at the shop who knows and respects cars . Absolutely 5 stars. The owner and his wife are absolute sweethearts that will treat your car as if it was their own.
If you would like to be RIPPED OFF, this is the place to take your car!
My step father took his truck there just to get his oil changed. They gave him Synthetic oil ( which is a lot more expensive) in his truck, when he did not ask for synthetic oil to begin with. Also they did not tell him that they would be putting this kind of oil in, in the first place.
When I took my car there to get my brakes changed, they charge me an extra $10 for Brake cleaner. This is an operating expense on their part,.
But the real RIP OFF was when I took my car back there, because the brake light was on. When I went to get the car they told me that it was only a fuse, and that was the first thing they check for. They charged me for the fuse, AND FOR 1 HOUR OF LABOR ....1 hour of labor to change a fuse ? They should be doing business with ski masks on.
All I can say is CAVEAT EMPTOR, BUYER BEWARE !!!
These guys are the best! Friendly, neighborly service. They fixed up my car and threw in a few extra repairs (like my back windshield wiper that had gotten jammed, and fixing my car door) for free. The price was absolutely fair, and the people who worked there were ridiculously nice. This is a great small town service!
I have been here twice now and have been extremely happy with their customer service as well as mechanical service. They quickly identified the problems and quoted me the estimated price of repair which I appreciated. I would recommend them to others without hesitation
Thrift King has always been prompt, reliable and true to their word/estimates. They have served our community for years and years. There is a reason that they have survived and thrived, while other garages and service centers have not. They do good work at a fair price.
