Has anyone used the vintage auto in scottsville recently? The only feedback I can find is from 3 years ago. Wondering if they are still in business.

I live just a few miles from them, and I've driven by the shop many times this spring trying to catch someone there. The big sign is down on the front of the store, and their phone number no longer works. However, the lights are on inside and the stuff in the parking lot moves around ...

I'm thinking the business is no longer there but someone is still using the shop for personal car work or something.

Thanks for the info. Ik their main guy died a few years back so I figured that may have slowed them down or stopped business. I was going to use them for my camper but I found some local guys at a shop in town to do the work.

Vintage Auto has Re-opened. The previous owner passed away and the current owner was having a hard time finding help to keep things running and operational. He now has new help and shall be fully functional within the next week or so(in case you guys were still looking or just want to help spread the word).

In May 2012 I paid the owner of Vintage Auto named Dave Gregor $318 to pick up my van and transport it from the Binghamton area up to Vintage Auto. He was to do some engine work, possibly tranny work, and finish redoing brakes. I had put in all new brake lines, servo, master cylinder, etc.

Make a long story short, I've sent 5 emails during the spring/summer of 2012 and made over a dozen phone calls to Dave Gregor and he NEVER got back to me. He had an answering machine message saying "his shop was at full capacity and he'd get back to all of the people who's vehicles he was working on...." That was the message on his answering machine in July 2012.

I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, but still tried calling/emailing numerous times in fall of 2012 and through summer 2013. No answer, then his phone was disconnected and his website was down.

Fast forward to Sept. 2013: At my request, a friend drove by Dave Gregor's shop at 376 Scottsville Mumford Rd, Scottsville, NY. And my van is still there! He's has it covered with a tarp, but seeing the tan/brown color combination in a hole through the tarp my friend verified matching a matching vin number to my title for the van.

At this point, I'm selling the bus. Anyone who's interested can certainly go look at the van -- I'm asking $2800 for it. You'll see it's immaculate for a 1979! No rust whatsoever, original paint. Hard to find one nicer! Call me: Ed 516-270-6549

Dave Gregor: If you see the message, I suggest you leave the van where you have it at 376 Scottsville Mumford Rd. At this point, if I find it's moved, I am calling the state police and reporting it stolen. I have the title. Make it easy on yourself. You've had the van over a year a half and have not returned my calls.

Here's the pic from a couple months of my van where Dave Gregor apparently has left it under a tarp and a few other pics my friend took around the "grounds" of "Vintage Auto".
