    Definitely recommend to everyone! I am an independent contractor and my car was in desperate need of a lower ball joint and control arm. I called on a Monday and they set my appointment up for 2 days away! They communicated well with me … More and understand my needs! Thank you Rudy's for taking care of my car! You've earned a lifelong client with me and I recommend everyone to this business as they are also very affordable!

    I got my Rust Check refreshed, after 1 year. The rust proofing, though it's initially kind of fragrant, is very thorough. I feel confident driving through Syracuse winters since purchasing this product. I appreciate Rudy Schmidt, and … More their capable technicians, and would recommend them to anyone looking for rust prevention for their vehicle.

    I will continue to go to Rudy Schmid for Rust Check. They are professional, friendly, and efficient. I have been there twice so far and both experiences have been good.

    I have used the Schmid family for 25+ years. I would call Dianne and P.J. "business friends". Weather in the frame shop, body shop, or rust prevention, they have always been stellar in their trade. They are professional, courteous, … More attentive, and responsive,... which most shops struggle with today.
    I highly recommend anyone to call the Schmid family for any type of autobody, frame, and general maintenance/service. If it's something not in their expertise they will direct you to someone who is. You are in good hands when "Schmid happens."
