One of the few shops around that take my auto warranty. Paid a little more than quoted but it was done timely and properly. Can't complain.

These guys completely saved mine and my boyfriends entire weekend. after an already frustrating weekend dealing with frozen bank accounts and limited cash, our brakes went out right as we were heading back to Boston. They managed to squeeze us in first thing in the morning after two other shops were unavailable. we were in and out in about an hour and a half. These gentlemen were the best kind of people to stumble across in a time of need.

I have been using Jay's Auto for many years and I've never been disappointed. Jason has taken over and hasn't skipped a beat. I've had multiple vehicles serviced here ranging from basic oil changes to some much bigger jobs. They will always save you money especially compared to the very expensive dealerships. I trust Jason and I always give him referrals which he is very grateful for! HONEST, RELIABLE and DEPENDABLE!!

After moving to the area I was in search of a local mechanic to do some work on my Honda. After seeing the positive reviews online about Jay’s Auto I trusted them with the work. They did not disappoint! Jay was honest, reliable, and did a good job fixing my vehicle in a short amount of time for a very fair price. I will be coming back to Jay in the future when work is needed. Thanks Jay!

I’m very thankful that Jason and his team are extremely honest! I went to another place closer to me to get my inspection and new tires. They told me before winter I would need my front wheel bearing replaced. I took it to Jays auto with Jason and he looked it all over and said no it’s perfectly fine!! He said he wouldn’t feel comfortable doing anything with a perfectly good vehicle and wouldn’t feel comfortable charging me! Thank you for always being honest!!!!!! You will forever have my business and everyone I know I will always send them to your shop!!!!!

I was in need of a check up for my 2011 Nissan Rogue and asked my son regarding this site. The dealerships have always taken care of me and was told to anticipate extensive repair March of this year. I did taken the time to check on the reviews on this place and was most impressed by all the positive reviews. My son and I dropped the car off on a Thursday and I called Friday. My vehicle was reported to be in excellent condition so I was both thrilled and relieved. A special thanks to the owner Jay who was both friendly and professional and to Jason his employee who relayed the results of the check up to me by phone. You now have a new loyal customer. I highly recommend this place for those who are looking for an honest repair business in the Clifton Park, NY area!

Very knowledgeable and honest guys in the shop, that deliver quality work at a fair price. Had them work on my charger, they were able to diagnose and fix the issues I experienced.

My headlamp bulb blew. I thought I could fix it myself. The YouTube video looked easy. I was able to get the old one out but had trouble getting the new one in. I called the shop and he told me to bring the car right in. He had it fixed in about a minute. I really appreciate the fast service and his friendly manner. I ve been going to Jay s Auto for two years now and will continue to do so.

I don t often write reviews unless I have an exceptional experience. Although I live in Saratoga and had an existing mechanic in that area, my car broke down in Clifton Park a while back. I was forced to find a place closer than Saratoga and found Jay s on a google search with great reviews. Jay s provided the tow service, got me a quick diagnosis and quote and a price that was about $200 less than I was expecting. I had more car problems recently and didn t think twice of where to take it. Jay remembered me and my car and yet again was able to give me a price that was not inflated with very quick turn around time. Although, I m assuming, he stays constantly busy (the lot is always full when I m there), Jay ALWAYS leaves me with the impression that I am his most important customer of the day and he truly cares about the health of my car, but also me as a person. I am a Saratoga resident, but I will continue to choose to go to Jay s for the best car and mechanical services I have ever experienced.

Jays Auto repair shop is the best in the Capital area. I had a few things that needed to be fixed with my 2011 Honda accord and Jay made sure that he addressed the issues with my car instead of merely replacing parts. He stuck to the timeline mentioned and kept me informed about the repair on a regular basis.He is a man of his words. This place is a hidden gem. His business is mainly through word of mouth and I will recommend them to my friends and family at every given opportunity.

I just purchased a car from someone and they wanted to keep the engine which was fine by me because I needed the body. He took the car to jays to have it pulled. When the car was dropped off it was in good shape aside from fading paint. When they pulled the engine they cracked the windshield and scraped and scratched the engine compartment all to hell straight down to bare metal. Needless to say I AM NOT PLEASED!

I was stuck in Clifton park while I was traveling for work about a week ago. My car started making a horrific noise whenever I pressed the accelerator. Imaging the worst, I quickly googled auto repair shops. Thankfully I found Jays Repair Shop fairly close by. I drove in without calling and found out that they would be closing soon since it was Friday at 4m. It looked like I might be stuck in Albany until I could find someplace to repair it over the weekend. Jay offered to take my car for a drive to see where the sound was coming from. Within 15 minutes he had diagnosed the sound and had my car on the lift for a closer look. He showed me what was going on and fixed it quickly. I could not believe how fast and friendly he was. Best auto repair experience ever!!!! Would recommend to anyone having car issues, big or small! I was on the road in no time and am a very satisfied customer. Thank you, Jay! I hope you enjoyed the pizza! :)

Jay did a great job replacing the heater core on my wifes jeep Cherokee. Its a pretty big project and he said it would take a week. Once he got started on it, he decided not to stop and got it done over the weekend, getting her car back on the road in just three days. I couldnt believe it, we were very thankful!

Jay did the replacement on the clutch and axle for our Hyundai Elantra. He beat the price of all his competitors by over $150 and did an amazing job! He did exactly what he said he would do with none of the slimy tricks that some mechanics pull, and he completed the job faster than he even told me he would. I would highly recommend Jays to anyone looking for a mechanic!

New to the area and having recently moved up here from Florida (aka a fly by night state), it was difficult to find a mechanic that could do my repairs and gain my trust as an honest and respectable business owner. Jay is that guy!! He took a potentially nightmarish situation (my old cars clutch repair), and turned it into an excellent experience. I am impressed and will see Jay for any of my mechanical needs.
