Henrietta Vehicle Repair

Everybody needs a good mechanic, so we’re particularly lucky to have not one but two very trustworthy auto repair shops just minutes from Erie Station Village. Both Gladstone Service and Gates Automotive participate in our Resident VIP Perks program. Not only will these shops provide great, reliable service — they’ll do it at a discount!

To Erie Station Village Residents, Gladstone Service at 5420 W Henrietta Road offers 10% OFF all inside repairs, and Gates Automotive at 50 Thruway Park Drive offers 10% OFF any service, including towing, mechanical & collision. Just don’t forget your VIP Perks card or key tag — you’ll need to show it to get the discount.

Spring Vehicle Maintenance

Vehicles throughout the region are breathing a sigh of relief, having been spared the wrath of the usual Upstate New York Winter. Still, the change of seasons is an ideal time to perform routine maintenance on your car or truck. A spring checkup by a professional can help uncover the kind of winter damage that’s hard for laymen to pinpoint. It’s important to have your engine checked periodically by a technician who can determine whether any components are in need of servicing. A simple service appointment can get all your belts, lines, hoses, fluids, batteries, plugs, wires, and lights back into working order.

100,000-Mile Maintenance

If your car is getting up in years, it might be time for some major maintenance. By investing in recommended maintenance at the 100,000-mile benchmark, you’ll be more likely to see your odometer hit 200,000! Some of the things you should consider replacing include fluids, belts, filters, the timing belt, the water pump, tires and breaks, and spark plugs.

Fuel Up!

If you get hungry while you’re waiting for your car, consider grabbing lunch at China Garden at 5370 West Henrietta Road. Your VIP Perks card will get you 10% OFF any order of $10 or more.
