never would trust anyone in the capital district with my stuff besides Round Lake Auto, I recommend everyone to give them a visit.

September 17, 2024

Owner treated me with disrespect and dishonesty when I was recommended to use his shop for a certain service I will not completely throw him under the bus for but 100% know was done weeks prior based off of the recommendation I was given to set an appointment for the same service and has multiple cars on lot being serviced and sold with the same specifications as my vehicle. I wasted an hour drive and gas to be turned away with no good explanation why considering the vehicles siting in the lot for the same services, let alone the cars listed for sale. Very disappointed with customer service and do not recommend wasting time going there.

Ordered every single part for my build on my 92 Supra through round lake auto and wouldn’t do business anywhere else. They have repeatedly bent over backwards to get me what I need when I need it. Their long list of suppliers guarantees you get the best parts at the best prices and the shipping time is second to none. I send anyone looking for aftermarket parts for their builds directly to Round Lake Auto.

This place is great , in most cases I don’t trust a lot of places with my car but this place really took the time to explain everything and do great work on my car. They finished my car very quickly as well. Thank you guys I’ll be returning!

Bought a 60mm Turbosmart WG from them and they honored a spoken deal. I’ll be going back for sure and giving them my business. Trust and honesty is there with these guys!

Great service. They are the only mechanic I trust with my car. Here is an example of what I'm talking about. I requested an oil change service and I requested an 8:30 appointment. I arrived at 8:30, I was greeting and my car was taken into the shop. Service completed and my questions answered. I don't get this at the other mechanics I've been to. Dave, Raz and the entire team are great to work with.

If you want simple maintenance work or tuning, Round Lake Auto is the BEST place. They have done work on my 2015 STI, and they went above and beyond! Dave, Razick, and the team are the best in knowing what is needed for your car.

Wow! This is a great shop! I was in need of my front brakes being replaced in a pinch. They were able to fit me in without problem and got the car back to me in a timely manner. Fair prices and good customer services to match! Round Lake Auto Repair is right off route 50 in Burnt Hills and luckily right in my back yard. Will certainly be back!

These guys dont know what theyre doing, they dont know how to diagnose, they only change parts, they changed a lot of parts without my authorization without sending me the quote first, they didnt give me the old parts they changed from my car and my car is still the same, dont bring your car to this place!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Dave and his son, along with his employees are the best in the area. Very honest and communicative, have gotten me out of pickles quickly and affordably. Mechanics can easily take advantage of you , these guys are the furthest from that. Don t go anywhere else.

Dave and his team are always honest and friendly. They always make time to get my wife and my vehicle in. I would never take our vehicles anywhere else. They always make you feel like family and not just another dollar sign.

Round Lake Auto is a proper tuning shop, complete with knowledgeable/honest employees, a dyno, and fantastic connections with parts suppliers. They are not the fastest shop, so you can expect your car to be there for a bit. But good things take time, and you can trust and believe that they will fix any problem your vehicle has without beating around the bush or overcharging. They completely resurrected my Subaru STI and made it feel as though it just came off the showroom floor.

Getting a face lift but if you need automotive repairs this is the place. Ask for Dave and tell him Rick sent you.

A legit, real-deal tuning shop in Burnt Hills. The number of WRXs and Evos in the lot should tell you how many people trust them. Dave and Raz diagnosed some issues with a used WRX we bought and got it back into shape very quickly. Take a step inside the shop and you ll see two beautiful Supras and a classic MR2, this is definitely a place for car enthusiasts.

The most honest, reliable and professional mechanic business I m come across in the 30 years I ve been driving!! I have no relatives or lifelong friends in the business so I have been forever skeptical just talk to Dave (owner) you ll never go anywhere else! FYI - his lot is always full because of the reputation and respect he has. They provide the individual care and attention anyone would want. I d rather leave it overnight or for an extra day knowing this. Words do no justice. I m so thankful. Thanks again, Dave for all that you and your employees do and stand for!!! More appreciated than you will ever know

They are the nicest people I have ever met. I dont trust mechanics at all and never do I bring my vehicles to a garage for repairs but I would bring mine back without hesitating. They are fair and honest people. Dave is very friendly and upfront. Pricing is very affordable. I believe they strive to be the best at what they do and to make sure the customer is very satisfied. I would give them 100 stars if their were an option for it. I have to say thank you to them for restoring my faith in Garages once again. Great job guys. You will have my business from here on out.
