Tringali’s Auto Service, Inc

Ok so the first time I went to tringalis is because a friend knew them. So I figured cause of that and the fact I knew his son and daughter and law he’d take care of me correctly. Cause honestly I have a couple mechanics I can go too but tringalis is right around the block from me. Terrible mistake. 1^st time was on Feb 11 for a coolant and temperature issue with my Lincoln. So rick the owner tells me to drop the car off Thursday morning. Now fast forward to Friday afternoon and I still haven’t heard from him so I call and he’s goes on to tell me that he hasn’t had a chance to look at the car then proceeds to tell me they don’t work on the weekends so monday morning he“ll get to it. So I don’t hear from him again on Monday, Tuesday finally comes around and he calls me to come get it I get there and it costs me 750 $. I was. Furious cause I knew someone woulda done the same job way cheaper. Ok so now fast forward 3 months to may 7^th. The car overheats again and I bring it back cause I figure this guy already fixed it so he’s gotta do it. Again drop it off Thursday morning. Friday afternoon. Comes around I call and flip out saying I can’t be without my car for another 5 days. So this guy obviously starts working on it around 4ish I’d say. Calls me and tells me to come in (which I had to walk 1 mile to get too) so I get there he tells me it’s not ready yet to come back in an hour. Lol Ok rick I’ll just go walk around for awhile. So now it’s about 630 on friday and it’s just me and him there. He finally gets it done we sit down and he keeps hitting the calculator and I’m thinking what the hell could this guy be charging me for if he already charged me 750 $ for the same thing 2 months earlier. So after all is said and done this guy’s hand me a bill for 430 $. I was furious. So 1100 $ and 7 days total later he finally got the job done. Needless to say it was in my and his best interest that I got outta there cause I was ready to ring his neck. I filed a complaint with the BBB and will never speak well about this place again. And if the same thing happens to my car again I’m gonna have to go back in there and be his boss cause he’s not treating me like shit and screwing me outta any more money. SCREW TRINGALIS

Used to go to these guys when I still lived in the city of Buffalo. They’re reasonable & they always got the job done the 1^st time. If you ask ‘em to show you the old parts, they will & they’ll explain what happened in layperson’s terms. Great guys!

The mechanics at Tringali’s have been very helpful. I am from the Boston area, so I don’t have many resources out in the Buffalo area. When my car was having trouble, they were quick to look at my car and fix it. Each time (it happened twice) I need to take my car to them, I called late one day and they were able to look at my car early the next day. Highly recommended.
