My Review by raquelg831247546 via Citysearch on 10/29/2012
State Inspection Scam!\r
\r
I took my 2yo vehicle in for the State Inspection thinking it was a great deal at $5 (normally about $25). I was informed my vehicle FAILED due to leaky rear shocks. They could fix the problem for $250. They…
Only good for Oil Changes - Rip Off Artists! by allyssa s via Insider Pages on 8/28/2012
Save yourself money, don't EVER use CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AUTO on Pine Street. RIP-OFF artists at the finest! \r
Charged us over $500 to "fix problem" which they were sure it was, had car for two full days, got it home, problem not fixed.…
My Review by justinr1853138153 via Citysearch on 7/13/2012
Not even able to balance a brand new set of tires. Took it back twice still could not get it right. Don't be fooled by the $50.00 off a new set of tires with free balance and rotation!
Unethical business practices by shadowodahs via Citysearch on 5/16/2012
I brought my vehicle in to have it inspected at Champlain Valley Auto Sales. Upon their inspection, I was informed I had two bad tire pressure sensors. After receiving their quote, I looked around for better pricing and brought my vehicle…
Poor auto work by Nicki g via Insider Pages on 5/1/2012
I have used Champlain Valley Auto on and off for 5 yrs. I have stopped using them for anything major as they were over charging, and always coming up with issues resulting in hundreds of dollars everytime I went there. Most recently had a…
Worst by angie o via Insider Pages on 9/15/2011
Stay away from this place and keep your 5 dollars. Went for an inspection and they failed me for a tiny crack on my tail light that is 2 cms big not even a hole, said there was antifreeze leaking yet my car isnt overheating and the coolant…
Happy to save $ by Elizabeth S via Insider Pages on 4/29/2011
I was pleased with the service I received, I was driven to work, called with a detailed diagnosis of the clunk in my SUV and the bill ended up being lower than they quoted! They have a super friendly staff and seemed very professional, no…
fast and friendly by dunkin d via Insider Pages on 4/4/2011
I took a chance and was really pleased. I stopped in on a friday, they were obviously busy but the girl said they could fit me right in. My oil change was only $17.99 and they even checked my engine light for FREE, I certainly have no…
Worst Auto Shop I Have Ever Been To! by MikeAkron via Citysearch on 2/28/2011
I brought my Suburu Outback to Champlain Valley Auto last week. I figured my car was pretty standard/typical and most if not all Vermont mechanics would know how to service it. Afterall, I only needed an oil change and a tire…
awesome place, awesome people, awesome prices by caleb r via Insider Pages on 2/24/2011
i heard the advertisement on the radio for the really cheap state inspections, and having never been there before was a little bit skeptical of a shop with really cheap advertised prices. i went in for my inspection appointment and found a…
be smart about your car repairs by rubyduby l via Insider Pages on 2/2/2011
Everyone who is complaining about being taken for parts you don't need should have asked to see the diagnosed part. every time i bring my car in they are happy to show me the problem. I feel the counter people are very personable and it is…
DONT GO HERE by stephanie b via Insider Pages on 1/5/2011
Don't EVER go here. This place is a joke. I just had them fix my ebrake and looked under my car a few days later and the brake cables they had just installed were hanging and touching the ground. I brought my car to a family member who has…
Horrible! by Rachel D via Insider Pages on 1/4/2011
I only wish I could rate this business with 0 stars. I took my car there for a simple break job and an estimate on the exhaust. Not only was the estimate $300 more than what I ultimately paid for the exhaust work (which came with a…
Horrible service and RUDE by Lindsey C via Insider Pages on 2/20/2010
WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY\r
I went to champlain valley auto for a simple oil change and inspection. Knowing my Jeep Liberty would pass as I have brand new tires and a new battery and it rides like a dream. I had originally bought my 2004…
Do Not Consider Going Here. by Sherrie S via Insider Pages on 11/28/2009
We originally used the services of Champlain Valley Auto for simple repairs and unfortunately decided to have a new transmission installed by them. About 7 months later we found that they had installed it improperly. Whereas with the…
Good shop, good people by Rob P via Insider Pages on 10/29/2009
I saw the other reviews. Maybe those with bad experiences are more motivated to write reviews. I have been a customer for several years. Overall good experiences - they have helped me out quite a few times, often at a moment's notice. I…
Champlain Valley Auto is a waste of time and money by Tim G via Insider Pages on 9/4/2009
Terrible service, rude receptionist, and bad business practices. Wish I had time to write more, but I figure that will explain in a quick and succinct way how awful my experience was.
Bad Experience by Anna H via Insider Pages on 8/14/2009
I too also heard an advertisement on the radio for an inexpensive oil change and inspection. Similar to the other story here, I was told my car wouldn't pass inspection. I paid the inspection fee and immediatly drove my car 10 minutes…
Champlain Valley Auto is OK for basics by Steph G via Insider Pages on 6/25/2009
I trust CVA for basics only. I went there once with a check engine light, told them that my car was a special edition so the engine was a little different than just the model. They tried to splice some wires to make the wrong O2 sensor…
Went for Repair Came Out With More Problems by Dawn C via Insider Pages on 3/12/2009
I brought my car to Champlain Valley Automotive because I heard an ad on the radio claiming how great they were. They were supposed to replace the air conditioner compressor. The next day, my car wouldn't start, I could hear a belt…
