Jim's Garage in Ballston Spa

I don't know how this man is still in business. Doesn't care if he swears at a woman. Asked for an estimate but instead he fixed it without telling me how much it would be. Not only that he did a temporary fix ( a bandaid). I wouldn't suggest going there.

Another garage had quoted me $1300 for repairs. Got 2nd opinion from. Jom. All I needed was $200 repair. Nice guy. Knows his stuff.

Shady character. Didn't look me in the eye, didn't extend his hand for a handshake. Made me feel like he thought I was just a chump to extort money from as far as he was concerned. Took 3 times as long and charged me twice what I said my budget was. Not friendly, not charismatic. I'm surprised he is in business by how he acts.

Left me without heat in the middle of winter and charged me 750 dollars for some light wiring and an inspection. Took over 3 weeks to do it. I guess he had a hard time with it so thats why he thinks I owed him 750. Go anywhere else.

Used him twice and now never again. He passed my car for inspection knowing that my brakes should not of passed even when I mentioned I heard grinding and felt the brakes be sluggish on the release failed to mention my tires needed to be changed out. 2nd time was for a oil change and now I have to go to a professional garage because he screwed the cap on so tight it's cracked and now stuck on. This guys a quack and will leave with more problems to con you into coming back.

I was referred here from a friend and have bringing my car here ever since. I've had a quote from 3 other places about a transmission shudder, was told I needed a rebuild even. Jim was able to use some kind of lube and fixed the problem for a fraction of the price. Was also told I needed a new exhaust manifold that would run over$600. Jim found that it was a rusted connection causing the loudness. My car runs better than when I bought it now! He's a straight shooter. Garage inst some fancy place and it might take him a little while to get to your car but idc waiting. I just want my car fixed properly so he's the one I go to. Highly recommend

If you’re not in a rush and want to deal with a fair minded human. Drop your car off to Jim and leave it for a few days. You’ll get what you need and nothing more.

Stay away!!!! This guy WILL rip you off, charges almost double what actual cost should be. Absolutely rediculous, can't believe this guy is still in business.
