Paragon Automotive

If you’re looking for a down to earth, straightforward and honest mechanic, then this is the place to go. This is a family owned business that’s been operating for 30 years in Buffalo. Although the location is pretty unassuming, Joe, the owner and his guys are great at what they do!
I found this place first to do a vehicle inspection for my car insurance. I made the appointment very easily over the phone. I had alot of questions about the inspection and Joe patiently answered them all over the phone. The inspection was done by Joe who’s friendly and insightful.
The second time I made an appointment for an oil change and an vehicle inspection for my out of state vehicle registration. I missed my appointment and called Joe to reschedule. He was very understanding and still squeezed me in that day anyway. Again, everything was done swiftly and every question I had.
The service is always excellent making me reassured that I’ve found a mechanic I can trust and rely on.

I knew I felt like I had found the right «car guy» when I walked in the first time a few months ago for my vehicle inspection.
Right away, I felt like I knew the owner for years and could trust him immediately — some people just give off that vibe, and I had a good feeling about the business.
I then immediately regretted paying a ton of money fixing my car somewhere else last year. I would have much rather paid these guys.
I had a headlight replaced a little bit ago at a different business and it cost kind of a lot of money for something I can probably do myself, but like supporting local businesses to do (plus I know very little about car mechanics). Lo’ and behold, my other headlight went out recently (I hope it was the other one) and I took it to Paragon and the total cost was HALF THE AMOUNT. They quoted my headlight cheaper than the first place!!!
Now, prices aren’t everything, and I’m very understanding of this. It’s also not a deal-​breaker, depending on what needs to be done.
However, these guys have an incredible amount of professionalism and don’t try to sell you anything or feel like you’re asking stupid questions about your car. They also treat you with respect and like a neighbor and friend, which I really like. I now feel like I was sold stuff inappropriately elsewhere, and feel a bit ripped off because of it.
I have to get some other work for my car and for any tune-​up, problem, or issue, I would very very highly recommend these guys! They’re fantastic!

These guys are great. Its located on Hinman, near Military, but if you drive too fast you will miss it. the sign is a smaller one, and its in the middle of a row of car and other type repair shops. So once on Hinman, drive slowly and look carefully for the sign.
Went here for Carco report for insurance. All these years in Buffalo and my father did not know of this place. They were nice, helpful and we were in and out super fast. We will be back for our inspections and other things. The customer service here really was a pleasure.
