I brought my 2012 Chevy Cruze and my 2002 Toyota Avalon to these people. Both times they misdiagnosed minor issues, telling me I had serious internal engine problems. They caused me a lot of headaches. If you want to be screwed over, take your vehicle in to Corning Auto Center. They will make sure you pay top dollar while they bend you over. The place is a joke and it’s insane they have 4 stars. It’s like Amazon reviews, don’t trust it.

THIS PLACE IS OPERATED BY INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE BOLD FACED LIARS, GRIFTERS & SHYSTERS!! NOT EVEN WORTH ONE STAR!
What should've been a straightforward diagnosis of a no start condition with my car cost me almost $300 with nothing to show for it!
After a couple days of my vehicle being in the shop, I inquired as to what was going on. They lied about the determination of the problem and about the work that was being done and just vaguely said the diagnosis needed to continue This was after two whole days worth of shop time which is charged by the hour. I realized I was being played for a fool and immediately picked my car up. The shop owners tried their best to manipulate me into letting them keep the car for longer so they could swindle me for more money. After examining the car I confirmed that the work that supposedly had been done had in fact not been done at all!

They don’t care for their customers. Went in to get some information about my car issues the Tech didn’t help at all. The lady in front even told me she didn’t want to know what was wrong with my car. So I went to Hi tech Automotive down the road they helped me and even informed me and made suggestions on things it could be. definitely recommend going to Hi Tech Automotive!! Don’t waste your time here.

Fantastic service and stuff! I was on my way to WA, and my car started overheating on the freeway. I added some coolant, but the engine temperature lamp kept lit on. I called them, and they let me squeeze in between appointments. Jim did a diagnostic and found out the radiator had a big crack. They found a radiator for me, but it seemed difficult to get one and replace it before they closed the store because it was already afternoon and the radiator was away from town. But Jim even offered to stay after their closing time to make sure I could return to the road on the same day because they knew I needed to arrive in WA to start my new job in a few days. O'Reilly's Corning store staff delivered a radiator in a few hours, and the car got fixed in the evening! I appreciate all the help; this was my best experience with an auto repair shop.

My husband and I were traveling from Portland, OR to Monterey, CA when we heard this bang, then a rush of air came at us from our air blower then a scraping noise started under our car. We pulled off the highway onto an old back road and I got under the front of the car to see what the problem was (my ex was a mechanic so I know what to look for). I found the bolt that holds the aluminum splash plate that covers the oil pan had come off on one side on the front and the air pressure had sucked it out and down which caused it to scrape along the road and was a bit torn up. I figured I just needed to attach it whatever way I could to get it back in place until we found a garage the next day. I found a caribeener and some heavy duty string and my hubby tied it into the hole where the bolt came out as I’d had a hand fracture and couldn’t maneuver well.The next morning we looked to see where the closest car repair place was near the Holiday Inn Express hotel where we stayed the night before and drove to Corning Auto Center. I walked in and spoke to office manager Rick and told him the problem. He immediately got his mechanic Jim to look under the car and assess the damage. Jim then proceeded to put in a new bolt and some zip ties to hold the splash plate in place so we could continue on our journey to Monterey until we got it fixed.When I went inside to pay Rick he said just a five or ten dollar tip would be enough as he didn’t want to go through the process of using the debit/credit machine. I protested saying the guy who worked on our car should get paid so could I please write a check. He still insisted never mind and Martha, the other office manager said just write us a review on Yelp so I said ok, thanked them and left.This kind of good will service is what keeps bringing customers like myself back and wanting to write a five star review! If we’re ever passing through Corning again and need something fixed this will definitley be our go-to place. Highly recommend!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Limited garage spots, if it’s full don’t leave your car parked outside—someone might steal it. They replaced the starter on my truck and got it running. Felt a bit expensive but they did a good job.
