Paul's Motors is the best auto repair shop in New York State! I have been a customer for years, and have always had great experiences with them. They are always there for their customers when needed. I refer others to them often, knowing that they will have as good an experience as we have. Service: Oil change

Several years ago while waiting for my annual inspection, I saw the owner talk an older woman out of repairing her air conditioning as it was very expensive and not worth the investment. Now I'm that older woman who is confident I will be treated the same and not waste my money.
