Went for an oil change, service was wonderful. Called day of and got in quick!

A family member took my vehicle there to be aligned after new tires were installed. They didn’t provided an alignment sheet and when I got the vehicle back a week later it had blown my mind to go back and get one so I just assumed the alignment was fine. After 500 miles the tires were already showing the exact same outside edge wear pattern as before the alignment. Would not recommend

Took my car in for an alignment and 10 miles later I have a torn CV boot and grease all over my knuckle and get told “You must have hit something”. Take your car here if you want a shop that takes accountability over the work done to your vehicle.

March 19, 2024

on 5/22 made an appt for 5/26 for state inspection, I arrived for my appt to a sign on the door saying no state inspections until further notice bc of a system issue. I would ve loved to know that before I wasted my time coming to the shop. the dude behind the counter told me it s been down since wednesday so that s plenty of time to have contacted me to tell me about this. he told me he didn t have an eta as to when it ll be fixed and he offered no customer service such as scheduling an appt for next week or calling me when it s fixed. I said there s no excuse for not telling me, a paying customer, about this issue and his response was that I should leave and not come back because of my sarcasm an employee in the parking lot when I was leaving asked me what happened and she said did he tell you to come back next week? when i told her what he said she sighed and rolled her eyes. this will be my first and only experience with this company.

March 19, 2024

I was unable to get in contact with the shop for a week because their phone lines always give a busy signal. Then I went in for a simple tire rotation of my new winter tires/rims (already mounted and balanced, so just a rotation), and was charged 70 dollars even though their website advertised 30. Also the tires did not get their tpms programmed which is fine because I have a tool and can do it myself but they said my car doesnt need learning which isnt true. But I noticed upon leaving one tire was very low so I had to take it to put air in it. A bit disappointed with all those issues and costs over a simple tire rotation. Owner was courteous though. Edit: Just realized they also left the stickers on the tires. Doesnt seem like the best idea on winter tires which the entire purpose of is maximizing grip. I really have no choice but to leave 1 star here.

Recently I tried this shop for what I thought was a simple issue and was very pleased. CJ was wonderful to work with and texted me over the course of a few days to keep me informed in the process and provided clear quotes at every step. In addition, he went out of his way to make sure my best interests were being taken care of overall, giving multiple options with clear pros and cons without prompting. I will definitely be coming back here with any of my car needs.

After being told that we needed new brake pads and rotors all around and being quoted $1100 for the job, we decided to bring the car for a second look. Having moved further away, its not all that convenient for us to get to the shop, but we will never go anywhere else again. They looked at our brakes and told us we did NOT have to have our brakes done yet - how rare is it to find a mechanic that wont just take you for a ride?! Great shop!

I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a mechanic who does amazing work ! Russell is very professional and is very meticulous about making sure you ride off in a safe vehicle. My car had been making noises for a couple days and I was so relieved when he told me just to bring it in and replaced my brake pads in more than a timely manner ! I will always come back here for any of my repairs for my car.

I have been here many time but is under new management. I had a two blown headlights and was told by my dealership that they could not put a headlight in the passenger side because the light had melted into the socket. The estimated the job at $600, so I had been driving around with one headlight for a good 6 months because that was astronomical.I came in for a new tire one was leaking air and asked him to replace the one bulb and told him what the dealership told me. He surprising was able to clean up the connector and replace both headlights! I was so pleased and walked away with only $118 bill for both services. Excellent customer service.

My experience was a 5 out of 5 stars. I unfortunately needed to get 4 brand new tires on my Jetta GLI 2020 and I needed all that comes with getting new tires. Russ was one to the point, reasonable, and just very understanding with the situation I was in needing 4 brand new tires. He helped me understand what was needed and went above and beyond when the power went out. He went to his home grabbed a generator just to finish my car. I am very pleased with the work and if I am ever in need of services I will be going back to them. Thank you again.

Fantastic experience. The customer service we received was unmatched and very rare. Russ is definitely the guy to go to if you need to find a fair and trustworthy mechanic. He was very professional and responded right away. I had an issue with my Honda Accord and a different auto shop in Schenectady tried to scam me on parts and labor cost and Russ figured out the problem right away and told us what the real issue was and fixed it fast. No nonsense here! He was very understanding, efficient, and fair. He was also able to fit me in right away. If I could rate this place higher I would! Don t hesitate to go to this location. It s perfect.

Managed to strip one of my lug studs, and now over tighten one of my lug nuts to where another shop couldnt get it off without breaking the lug nut. Although they repaired the stripped stud, I cant say Ill be going back knowing they managed to break my car twice.

Broke my cars wheel Couple times. In pandemic manager never has mask ..not professional. Never using again. Though they tried to repair , found out later that lugnut was ovetightened on wheel . Only found out when in another shop to rotate tires . The other shop could not get the lugnut off without destroying it as it was overtightened . Had i had to change that wheel if flat tire i would have been stranded and needed a tow truck . Shoukd not have had to find out about this elsewhere .

Do not trust them. They replaced my rear brake pads and rotors at their recommendation. Less than a week later my brakes failed on the highway as it turns out they didn t secure the calipers so one fell off and the other was loose. Almost a month later and they still have not refunded me.

Took tire in for repair. Was told tire could not be repaired. Took tire to another shop for a second opinion and was told tire could be repaired to safety standards but that the bead was torn when dismounted by adirondack tire so tire is no longer good. Long story short they destroyed my tire while dismounting and instead of taking the noble way out and replacing my tire for their mistake they told me that the tire was unrepairable. Stay away from here....with so many options in the area find a shop with honesty and integrity not a sob story.
