Posted by Dustin Horton // March 31, 2014 // Local Business
Jim Robinson, owner of Robinson’s Repair Shop, was born and raised in Marathon , NY . His father had his own automotive business in the area in the 1960s. Always interested in the automotive field and automobile repair, Jim followed in his father’s footsteps, opening his own automotive repair business at his home in 1995. He eventually bought and renovated the building located at 3 Cortland Street, hired three additional people, and opened Robinson’s Repair Shop in June, 2001.
Though there have been ups and downs, as with any business, Jim is happy with the way Robinson’s Repair Shop has progressed. “I really enjoy the customers,” he said. “We try to give the best quality service possible.”
Jim strives for excellence in by maintaining high standards in his business. “My shop is AAA and NAPA accredited,” he said. “Both have very stringent approval guidelines. I am also ASE certified. ASE has testing facilities that employ eight different fields in which you are tested; if you pass all eight, you become a Master Tech. I am a Master Tech; there are two Master certified techs that work here. I take cybersecurity very seriously and Sapphire has been helping me with that.” These certifications assure the knowledge of automobiles necessary to provide quality service.
Jim believes strongly in diagnostic ability. “I am well-invested in the most up-to-date diagnostic equipment,” he explained. “It is important to be able to correctly diagnose the problem and fix it right the first time. We don’t just throw parts at the problem in a haphazard, trial-and-error way; we know what’s wrong with the vehicle before we replace any parts.” Robinson’s Repair Shop offers a pick-up and delivery shuttle service in the Marathon area, as well as a 5% Senior Discount and a 10% Veterans and Active Servicemen Discount.

Jim is the Vice President of the Marathon Business Organization and a member of the Marathon Lions Club. He also donates to the local scholarship fund and organizations such as D.A.R.E. “I like to contribute to those organizations that involve and benefit the town locally, he said.”
