FINEST, HONEST, ECONOMICAL, MOST RELIABLE SERVICE

I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF PRITCHARD AUTOMOTIVE SINCE 1964, 59 YEARS, BECAUSE OF THEIR DEDICATION TO SERVE THEIR CUSTOMERS MOST HONESTLY AND RELIABLY. CONSIDER THAT, AS I SEE IT, BILL PRITCHARD CONSISTENTLY REFUSED DETROIT'S DEMANDS TO BUILD A BEAUTIFUL NEW FACILITY ON THE ELMIRA ROAD, AS ALL THE OTHER DEALERS KNUCKLED UNDER AND DID. AT PRITCHARD'S, WHETHER BUYING A CAR OR HAVING IT SERVICED, YOU KNOW YOUR MONEY IS GOING FOR HONEST, QUALITY SERVICE AND FOR QUALITY CARS. PRITCHARD AUTOMOTIVE DOES NOT HAVE TO INFLATE PRICES TO PAY FOR MILLION DOLLAR DETROIT ORDERED STORE FRONTS ON EXPENSIVE, HIGHLY TAXED "MIRACLE MILE" LAND. FOR 59 YEARS AND CONTINUING, I HAVE RECOMMENDED PRITCHARD'S AUTOMOTIVE TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND TRAVELERS WHO NEED SERVICE IN THEIR TRAVELS.

Superior Sales and Service Always!

I've purchased two cars in the last couple of years from Pritchard's and the buying experience is comfortable, fair and professional. A tremendously friendly dealership and an experience you won't easily find anywhere else, particularly in Ithaca with the other high hype dealerships. My service experience at Pritchard's has been equally impressive and i simply wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

Superior customer service

I have been a customer of Pritchard Automotive for many years and won't take my car anywhere else. My most recent visit concerned inspection and it was discovered that my car needed rear brakes. They were able to do this job while I waited. Customers are treated like family at Pritchard Automotive. Their customer service is awesome and quality of repairs is excellent. I have recommended Pritchard Automotive to many of my coworkers.

You will be GLAD you took your car to Pritchards

While some local automotive dealers claim to be "family", Pritchards is the real deal. They have been providing outstanding service and excellent value since before any of us were born. I first took my car to Pritchards in 1999 after frustrating experiences at different shops in the area. No wonder a friend recommended Pritchards, they're terrific. I've been a regular customer since. They really listen to your needs. Solid service team. Never the run-around, just good people. And happy to drive you to/from your work if needed. Ladies, if you're not sure who to trust, take your car to Pritchards. This gal is sure glad she did.

Pritchard's comes through again!

My vehicle was in dire need of an oil pan and Pritchard's replaced it as quoted. Their timing was as stated. I also had the spark plugs replaced, which is not an easy task on my vehicle. With numerous troubles encountered during the replacement, the Mechanic still got the job done on time. These people have always been upfront about the work they do, and let you know about possible issues,so you don't get any surprises.

Outstanding Customer Service

All the personnel of Pritchard Automotive are courteous and knowledgeable. I purchased a Saturn 2001 as a second owner and it runs and looks like new. The entire operation is well cared for with a satisfied customer in mind.

Best dealer and mechanics around

My first experience with Pritchard's was when I purchased my vehicle from them in 2007. That experience was great and helped turned me and my wife into a loyal customers of theirs. From that point on, both of our vehicles have gone to Pritchard's for repair work. They have gotten us in for same-day repairs multiple times. Just today I received a phone call from them reminding me that my inspection was coming up at the end of the month (I had forgotten). Making the appointment was as easy as answering "when is convenient for you?". Nothing but nice, friendly, knowledgeable people working there.
