Rudy Schmid Total Car Care
228 Hiawatha Blvd, Syracuse
- Brought my truck in to have some body work repaired. It was only 3 month old when someone backed into it. The original body shop didn't give me a good feeling on their ability to repair aluminum, so I brought it here for a 2nd opinion. … More And boy, I am SO glad I did.
Rudy Schmid completed the repair in the time they stated and I can't even tell that there was ever damage to begin with! The body work makes it looks like factory and the paint is immaculate. Not only that, but they cleaned up the interior of the truck (which was an awesome bonus). They were prompt with communication and reached out with any updates they had along the way. Can't say enough good things here. I will definitely be coming back for anything I need that they provide a service for. - Recently had body work done on my car due to being hit from a distracted driver. These guys know their stuff. Car look showroom new when done. (inside and out) They notice the small details!
- Great experience dealing with the staff, and a flawless repair after extensive damage caused by hitting a deer. Ron was great to deal with. They even provided a free loaner vehicle when the parts took longer than expected.
- What a wonderful family owned and run business! They took on a tough fix on a jeep gladiator that was given to me as a birthday present and I had only driven for a short 2 months before this accident. I can’t believe I have it back on the … More road! You always get to deal directly with the owners who's family have been in business 95 years… I had them undercoat it at my expense while it was in there and I am very pleased with that procedure. I will definitely use this shop in the future for any body work or preventative care. Their customer service was top notch!! Thank you!!!!
