Devines Automobile Repair in Schenectady

STAY AWAY! They’re a bunch of scammers. Took my car there to drain the water out before winter hits so it doesn’t freeze. Brought my own anti-freeze. They charged me $85 JUST to drain the water out of my car! They messed with the radiator in the process, which led to my car overheating. Even after getting it fixed, its leaking antifreeze like crazy. They were trynna be sneaky and take the other bottle of antifreeze that I brought. I had to go out of my way to take it back from their counter! Save yourself the headache and stay awayyyy

Called John about a 2010 Subaru Legacy with a rotted sub frame Asked if he could work on it. Said he would call back in a hour had to check and see if he could find a frame .One hour later John called back and said he found a fame Agreed on a price - dropped the car off other than a delay on the frame being delivered John had the car fixed as quoted in five days. …………. Outstanding Service You don’t find friendly service like this today!

My daughter called and they where able to get her in within the hour, than they told her that she needed $3600 worth of work done to her car, her tires where at 3/32nds tread which is passable for MVI, her rotors where at 3mm which is also a pass for MVI, they told her her tires where the wrong size, they where 65’s not 60’s nothing to do with MVI, they said it needed a wheel alignment but when I let go of the steering wheel at 100 km it doesn’t move from center, she had a hole in the plastic bumper they said it had to be replaced or covered over for MVI, what does that have to do with safety of the vehicle, they said nothing about the rear brake light that was not working, they asked about things that have nothing to do with safety of the vehicle, like changing the brake fluid and rad fluid and transmission fluid, I drove vehicles for almost 50 years and never once replaced brake fluid only topped up if I changed a caliber or a line, never replaced transmission fluid on a vehicle which had 300000 on it, she gets regular oil and filter changes and just did in January and they never said anything about safety being up or brakes needing service or any other issues and that garage does a 40 point inspection with every oil change, so your telling her that in a month and a half that all these things just got bad, I wouldn’t recommend this garage to anyone and will never ever go back

I cannot say enough good things about this place, reasonable costs,excellent work,great people to deal with .I will bring my car here for all my cars needs.I am so happy to find an auto repair shop where you can trust them to do a great job and NOT RIP YOU Off!!!

Great experience with the whole team. They did great work and charged a fair price. They will be the only shop that will touch my vehicles from now on.

I’m so satisfied it’s mind blowing. I will not hesitate to recommend anyone. I took my car in for front bumper replacement which was done with all scratches and dents removed, interior vacuumed and polished. Best for me in Schenectady

Use another mechanic. Took car here few times always unorganized with poor communication. However last time taking car here with an electrical issue they replaced multiple parts that were not broken. Kept my car overnights for extended periods. Provided no updates. Rarely answered phone. Had to go back multiple times because they could not solve the car issue. Spent over $1,000 and hours of my time. They ultimately never fixed the issue. They Then stopped picking up phone when I called them to tell them car was still not fixed. Took car to dealership and they fixed in an afternoon. I would recommend to save your time and money and go to a more reputable company.

A relative came here with their vehicle so i wanted to come see. I had a high pitch squealing sound on my new break pads an new rotors. He took care of the problem mavis didn't do. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼 I recommend people to come here. The guys are nice and know what they are doing. Thank you so much
