I've been working with Chris at BC auto for well over a decade. Honest, efficient, and the pricing is fair (not cheap, but not at the high end either). Going to BC gives me real piece of mind... often times Chris will tell me there's something I DON'T need to fix, or share an alternate way of dealing with an expensive repair. Incredible. Unfortunately I've recently moved, and they're now a much longer distance from me now, so I use them only on occasion.

I've went to Chris many times to get my car fixed and I can confidently say he is the best Buffalo has to offer. Everyone wants a mechanic they know and can trust and BC is it. Super friendly, personal, and professional service. Chris is an honest and hardworking mechanic who puts the person first always. Will always refer anyone I know to BC.

Had work done on same vehicle at Hertel location. My life changed and as a single mom I had legit told Chris what my budget was. Fully understood that parts were an issue due to the year of the vehicle along with after COVID. However, living down the street and walking past almost daily had me at a loss with what was happening with my car! Still has not responded back, mailbox is always full and now I ve looked in the lot and my car has a busted window that you would think he would tell me about? I as a single mom at am a loss with this. I was absolutely honest with him about if the car was worth it he claimed it was. So I put all my eggs in that basket thinking he was doing right by me and here we are.

Chris is the best mechanic I've come across in Buffalo. He is extremely honest, knowledgeable, and friendly. He performs routine maintenance on my Porsche and also diagnoses and repairs any issues that come up; most recently a coolant leak and engine misfire. Highly recommend to all Porsche owners in Buffalo!

Update on original review. The owner Chris doesn't deny any claims I have made. You can read from his response he likes to take personal shots at loyal customers who gave him thousands in business! He then tries to discredit me to cover himself for damage control. Customers deserve to know you are not capable of handling engine work so don't take it personally Chris. I still own my classic Trans Am to this day and take it to car shows so the time when it occurred is irrelevant. I believe he had my previous honest review deleted. BC cost me in repairs that I took to other shops $2,700 for a transmission rebuild, $1,200 for a repaint of the damage I got on my hood at his shop, and $150 for the engine to be re-timed because he didn't do that correctly either. These are MASSIVE expenses that no one would ever forget. BC Auto took advantage of a young 18 year old who didn't know any better. Don't let Chris fool you he performed plenty of work on this vehicle himself, I have his signatures on the paperwork. He's a backyard hack mechanic that can barely handle oil changes. Chris as you can read is a giant man child who can't handle criticism. God bless and I hope you grow up. I pray for the next customer who has engine work done by you.Review - ZERO Stars. I took my car to Chris many years ago. The mechanics at BC Auto did a butcher job with installing my engine on my beautiful classic car. After driving my car with a $3,000 engine I thought there were issues but I'm no "expert" like Chis claims to be. I still had repairs done after the engine by Chris because again he claimed the work was done correctly even when I raised concerns. The final straw was when my car got a 60 inch key in the hood at his shop. I stopped subjecting my car to BC. Not long after the transmission failed so I took it to a very large notable transmission shop. They told me whoever installed the engine never adjusted the transmission properly and it led to failure. The transmission shop owner just walked away shaking his head in amazement that BC let this car out its shop in the condition it was in. I implore everyone reading this not to go here.

Everyone wants a mechanic they can trust, Chris and BC are it. You will never be pushed into spending extra money, it's all about transparency and honesty. Swift communication too.

Chris and his team are very professional and care about their customers experience! I've taken my car here twice and both times they called me periodically with the progress of my vehicle and when they expected my car to be finished (faster than I expected as well). Overall an excellent mechanic shop with a focus on customer service! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Couldn t be happier with the service I received from Chris and his team over at BC. After installing a new set of shocks and u-joints, my 2007 Wrangler hasn t run this smooth in years. I highly recommend their work and will definitely be back next time my vehicle needs service (hopefully not for a while)!!!

Chris and his team did an excellent job fixing up my 2001 civic. It s a old car with 310k miles on it. Chris and his team replaced all the belts / seals/ and spark plugs and it runs like new again. I Would highly recommend this shop to anyone for their integrity, speed, competency and excellent communication. - Thank you Chris - Adam

Chris was very easy to work with, set up an appointment, and promptly put on my summer tires, no fuss no questions, just like the quoted price. Definitely will be using their services for further automotive needs!

Couldn t be happier! Chris got me in quickly and diagnosed the problem within moments without giving me the runaround. He was able to schedule my appointment right then and there and tell me an approximate price! This place is truly a Buffalo treasure in the city of good neighbors! Fair and honest! Two things we don t often associate with mechanics!

An honest, reliable, dependable shop with knowledgable workers and owner. Had a mishap with a different mechanic, took my car here after three attempts somewhere else to get fixed and Chris (owner) and his staff (Shawn and Alex) picked up two problems right away and charged much less than previous shop. Appreciated their help, honesty, and quick turn around. Look no further, you've found your new mechanic.

I've been a BC customer for many years. Great service and integrity beyond question. If you have a Dodge or Chrysler mini-van, you're really in luck, Chris is factory trained on them. But they're great with any model of car.

Exceeding expectations! Honest and affordable service.At last I found a great Auto shop I can stick to. Chris and team talk and walk honesty still keeping focus to diagnose and resolve the issue correctly. I had quotes in 4 figures from honda dealers and couple other auto shops before I decided to go with Chris &team. I got my engine and other issues fixed to my satisfaction without breaking the bank. I would rate BC AUTO perfect in honesty,technicality and Price. I will recommend this to everybody : ) - PT

They are in a great location and service is their number 1 priority!! Amazing...I would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for honest and dependable and reasonable automotive care!! :)

I recently started bringing my vehicles to BC Automotive and I couldn't be happier with my experience. It's refreshing to have a local neighborhood shop with extraordinary service and value. A true asset to the North Buffalo community. Pricing for common service items are comparable to or better than national chain service centers. Help support local business that actually works and take your wheels to BC Auto on Hertel.

Am currently a Senior a University at Buffalo, but I live in Bronx New York and I was looking for a shop to fix my Honda accord 03 Knock Sensor,and Chris definately treated me right. I Schedule an appointment for Wednesdays morning drop my car and by Friday my car was ready. On Thursday I talked to Chris and he realized that actual job of the knock sensor took longer than what he told me initially, but he still charge me the intial amount which was $94 compare to $400 pep boys and others shops usually charge. I picked it up Saturday and something was wrong with my battery positive terminal and he change them free of charge. Awesome service more than happy with the results.

If you need car repairs, you cannot do better than BC Automotive. Chris and the guys do their very best to get you back on the road without emptying your wallet. Through a thorough diagnosis and doing repairs on a needs-basis keeps your car running well, and actually leaving the shop with some money in your pocket.

I'd give them ten stars if I could. We waited too late to get our car inspected and Chris was jammed up with repairs. He took 15 minutes out of his busy day to call around to repair shops that he trusted to find a place for us to get inspected. Next time I bake cookies, I'm baking an extra batch for him and his guys.

Chris at BC Automotive quoted me $250 less than my dealership for seized calipers and a cracked serpentine belt. After he looked it over he actually charged me over $500 less than my dealership quoted as he determine the calipers were actually salvageable. Really trustworthy shop. I'm switching for life after going to my dealership for 9 years.
