Welcome to
Bauer and Sons
Auto Repair
Your car deserves the same care you'd give your own family's. We treat every vehicle that rolls into our bay with honesty, fairness, and the kind of attention that keeps you coming back.
Services Built Around You
From a quick oil change to a full engine overhaul, we handle it all with the same care and transparency you'd expect from neighbors who actually know your name.
Oil Changes & Fluid Service
Clean oil, fresh filters, and top-off on every fluid. We'll make sure your engine runs smooth and stay on top of what's next.
Brake Repair & Replacement
Squeaky? Pulsing? We'll inspect, explain, and get you stopping safely again — no surprises on the bill.
Battery & Electrical
Dead battery? Flickering lights? We'll test, diagnose, and replace — so you're not left stranded.
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
Check engine light on? We'll read the codes, show you what's wrong, and fix it right the first time.
Tire & Alignment Service
New tires, rotations, balancing, alignment — we keep your car rolling straight and wearing evenly.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Buying a used car? We'll give you an honest, straightforward report before you hand over any money.
More Than a Mechanic —
Your Neighbor in Vassar
Bauer and Sons Auto Repair has been a trusted part of the Vassar community for years. We're not a chain, we're not a franchise — we're a family business that shows up, does the job right, and treats your car like it's our own.
When you pull into our shop on Norman Street, you'll get a straight answer, a fair price, and someone who actually cares whether your car runs well after you leave. That's not a policy — that's just who we are.

What Makes Us Different
We don't need a long list of buzzwords. Here's what you'll actually notice when you bring your car to us.
Trust & Transparency
We explain every repair in plain language. No jargon, no pressure — just the truth about what your car needs.
Fair & Upfront Pricing
You'll know the cost before we start. No surprise add-ons, no inflated bills — just a fair price for honest work.
Family Values
We're raised right, and that shows in how we treat every customer who walks through our door.
Quality Work
We use quality parts and take the time to do it right — because your safety isn't a shortcut.
What Our Neighbors Say
We let our work speak for itself — but it helps to hear it from the people who've trusted us with their cars.
"I've been bringing my cars here for years. They always explain what's going on, never try to upsell me, and the work is solid. Feels like dealing with family — because in a lot of ways, we are."
