I took my 2009 BMW 335i E90 to Next Level Auto for some major upgrades, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. They installed a full exhaust, brand-new 19T turbos, fuel injectors, brand-new inlets and outlets, an intercooler, catless downpipes, and more. They made sure everything was set up properly to handle the extra power. Not only did they handle the planned work flawlessly, but they also found and fixed issues I wasn’t even aware of. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. They even worked after hours to make sure everything was perfect. Communication was top-notch—I always knew what was going on, what to expect, and there were no surprises. The pricing was more than fair for the level of work and expertise they provided. If you own a BMW, especially an N54, I couldn’t recommend Next Level Auto more. These guys know their stuff, and I’d recommend them

Kevin did amazing work on my 2008 Corvette. Lots of places don't want to work on them for various reasons, which I can understand. This place accepted the possible challenges that may come along with this type of car. The pricing for the job was more than fair and the attention to detail is better than you'll find almost anywhere. I have other shops that I have gone to and really like, but this is by far my new favorite for all of the previously mentioned reasons. You guys just added a new customer for life! Thanks again!

If I could give 6 stars I would. We were traveling across NY when our car stopped going. When everyone else in the area said theycouldn't look at it for 3 to 5 days, Kevin listened to what was happening, said he had an idea and offered that we could tow it over that day "but no promises". The next day, he let us know what was going on and said he thought he could get it done that day, though he'd have to send his wife to Albany to get the parts from a Subaru dealer. While working on all the cars he already had scheduled, he and his crew still managed to get ours fixed and ready to go. They even worked a couple hours overtime just to help us get on the road back to Wisconsin. He was truly a professional, showed us everything he did (and did some extra inspections to make sure it was in good shape for the trip) and didn't gouge us at all. I wish he were here in Wisconsin!

Kevin is a BMW master mechanic, if you need someone to take care of your car he's more than capable. He's very fair and honest, two traits you'll never find at a dealership. He will take care of your car like it's his own and give you great customer service with a friendly smile.

Our car was overheating as my husband and I were traveling to Schenectady from New York City on a Friday afternoon and we broke down at the Capital Region Welcome Center off 87-North. We called Next Level and explained what was happening. The fact that they were able to see us that day was amazing enough, but they were actually able to find and fix the problem in time for us to celebrate our grandsons graduation that evening. Kevin and Bebe went out of their way to help us and we cant thank them enough for saving our trip -- not to mention our car!

THE BEST CAR PLACE IVE BEEN TO WITH STOCK AND MODIFIED TRACK CARS. The staff are passionate about cars of all kinds. The techs there own JDM and rare cars who arent afraid to get into a nerdy conversation. This is a real shop Im so glad I found after looking for garage across three states. Kevin and his team was awesome in understanding the needs of my track Miata with mods. He recommended services and alternatives to non-functioning parts. He even took a stab at repairing an existing mod part. When the part was warped, we worked on an alternative. I cannot recommend this place enough. Even took my partners stock beater Honda Civic and turned it into a beast.

Experts that know your vehicles capabilities!! Wouldnt allow you to modify if it wasnt good for the car. Suggests the right way to do things. Fairly priced for the work being done.

I was referred to them by my dad some time ago. All was well until I wanted to get a different vehicle looked at. Earlier this week I made an appointment with his wife for 5pm on February, 17th. I was going to be a couple of minutes late so I called to inform them. His wife told me she called me around 4pm and that I would need to reschedule for the following Tuesday b/c a car is stuck on the lift. I told her I wish she wouldve left a voicemail or sent a text so that I wouldve known who called due to not answering numbers I dont recognize (unwanted contact). I got off from work early just to make it to this appointment. I know a car being stuck is inevitable, my issue was her not leaving a voicemail, text or at least apologizing when I made that statement. I felt dismissed. I was going to make another appointment but chose not to and went with a different shop b/c communication is a huge deal to me and this is time sensitive. Learn from this or not, just sharing my experience.

If you have a car and are in need of help in Schenectady, Next Level Auto should be your first choice. My car broke down for what I thought was an issue with the battery and had it towed to a nearby AutoZone. Thankfully, the AutoZone people were kind enough to diagnose the problem as an issue with the automator, which they couldnt repair, so they called up Kevin from Next Level for me. I cant even describe how great the customer service is. Kevin talked to the members at AutoZone to allow me to keep my car in their parking lot for the evening, and he would personally bring the car in himself in the morning so I wouldnt have to worry about getting it towed through my insurance. That next morning, he brought the car in and kept me updated on the process, informing me that he was trying to find the automator my car used from the vendors he worked with. He got me two different options, all within budget, and as soon as we figured which route to go with, he had my car fixed by the late afternoon. You can trust your car with Kevin. I really wish I had a mechanic like him in my hometown! Next Level Auto is great.
