My new home #1

Schenectady auto service is great and I would recommend them to anyone that wants there service done to their vehicle

Nick, Damon, and crew have always been wonderful to me. When I was 16 with a broken down rusty 1956 Pontiac and clueless about mechanics, they did many jobs for me to keep me on the road and taught me many things along the way. Now I am 26 with another much better 1956 Pontiac, regardless they always respected both of my cars not only through compliments but making sure the job was done right, no greasy door handles, no hose clamps or belts or electrical connections left loose, ensuring a secure environment when my car had to stay overnite or for a few weeks at a time, etc. Never once pulled away from this shop with dirty tires, and old parts are saved to show they did the work though I never doubted it anyways. Now I do most of my own work but for what I cant do, I still bring it to Nick and the gang. Highly recommend for new cars and ESPECIALLY older cars. Theres only a handful of shops I approve of and Schenectady Auto is one of the top 3! Keeping me safe and reliable on the road since 2014...

If i could put 0 stars i would. Was charged $500 for nothing my car was still having the same issues. I have a paper full of things they claimed they did. I usually do my own mechanics most of the time. Dude ripped me off now im stuck spending more Money to find a issue they was supposed to fix.

Very helpful and understanding!! Great group of guys!!

The owner is very nice. Very approachable. Appreciate all the help!

These people are so kind and patient, they arent out to take you for more than whats needed. Thank you once again...

Dont ever take your car there that place is a joke

Great Auto Service shop to use in the area which offers competitive rates and wonderful technicians.

Nick was fair and honest. No guessing games and quality work. He kept my old Buick Rendezvous on the road, to see another day.

Excellent service

The check engine light lit up and the car started running rough. I brought it in for a diagnosis and it ended up being a bad sensor (along with a few other issues I was already aware of - gasket, spark plugs). I did some research and everything points to these guys being very knowledgeable and competent about the issue. They also provided transportation to and from. The repairs were completed in one day and the car still runs and feels great after 3-4 weeks of driving. Pricing was fair and I would highly recommend. I will be returning for any issues in the future. Thanks to Damon and Nick for the great service!

Nick and Damon are the best

I was out of town for work, about 6 hours from home and my brakes started making a funny noise. Stopped in a couple places and no one would even look at, one place told me to call Schenectedy Auto. I spoke with Damon explained my situation and he told me to bring it right over. He looked at it, told me what the issue was and that it was safe to drive and nothing was wrong. For people who dont travel can not understand what a relief it was to know that nothing was wrong with my car. Thank you Damon!!

Reliable and dependable service from local mechanics who take care of their customers.

The best vehicle service in the capital district!!

Check engine light was on. Made an appointment and brought it in. I was told what was wrong and how much itll cost. Very straightforward and business like. I appreciate this place!

Top notch!! Fast and honest, fair prices and friendly people!

I went to Schenectady Auto service to have a catalytic converter and 2 upstream oxygen sensors replaced they suggested that I do the 2 downstream oxygen sensors as well I did not do that because they never came up in a diagnostic and they were fairly new when I got my car back the next day the engine light was still on so they decoded it and it went off when I drove approximately one third of a mile the light pops back on again and I said to myself that is weird usually the light doesnt come back on until I have driven 60 to 80 miles and thats only IF there is still a problem so I bought the car to one of the mechanics on my job who was so kind to look underneath the car for me he went underneath the car he came back out and said pass me my phone I said why whats wrong I passed him his phone he took a picture came back out and showed me that one of my oxygen sensors the downstream that they suggested I replace as well was unplugged thats why the light pop back on so quickly they unplugged my oxygen sensor Im assuming so that I could come back to them and have that purposely caused problem fixed, a simple fix at my expense people please read all the reviews even the bad ones and make a conscious decision when dealing with this place they overcharge they definitely overcharged me and theyre running a scam, to all the older customers if you have been going to them for years and found yourself having to continue going back with problem after problem please take heed to this review, tampering with peoples cars is a felony and I will definitely be reporting this shop to the department of motor vehicle in order to write this review I had to give them one star I dont even give them that please be careful

Ive been there a few times and always treated me like I was the only customer there. Even though they are always busy

The most HONEST mechanics Ive ever met! They are so nice and always treats you great! Thank You for helping my sister when other mechanics cheated her out of her money you guys were fair and helped her with her car and got the job done! THANK You so much! I recommend them to anybody because they are very honest and that is very rare in todays world! Update: They are still Awesome!!!!

Great service!!! Very friendly, very knowledgeable, and thorough mechanics all at an extremely honest and fair price. I wouldnt let anyone else service my vehicles.

Car not done yet its been two weeks going on three lets just hope they do a good job and jack up the price for storage.

Always the BEST of the BEST !!!! I would NEVER go anywhere else !!! Ive been coming here for years and I dont even live in the area ! Schenectady Auto is TOP NOTCH !! Nick the Owner is always caring,considerate of your needs. So trust worthy which is most important and does the best job ! From oil change to major work ! I wouldnt look further ! This is your Hometown mechanic!

Nick and his team are fantastic. I would recommend them highly. They are trustworthy, professional, polite and totally customer-focused. I never worry that they are overcharging for any of the services they perform. They are incredibly honest. Fantastic company! We re so grateful that they re close to our home - we are happy to give them our business. A+++++! We can t say enough about how wonderful Schenectady Auto Service is!

Was very nice and respectful and great customers services

Really great place. I would trust Nick to bring my car back next time its due for repairs.

Nick is an amazing mechanic, only one allowed to touch my truck

Great service! Wouldnt go anywhere else

Ive been taking my Prius to Schenectady Auto for 6 years. Ever since I stopped in to have them check my tire pressure when that dummy light went on. Nick checked my pressure and didnt even charge me. Nick recently did some repairs on my sisters truck. That day she called, excitedly telling me about what great service she received at a good price and thanking me for recommending Schenectady Auto Service. Give them a try - you wont be disappointed.

Absolutely the best! No one else can touch my truck not even for an oil change. The prices are always fantastic and his work is top notch. Never had a single issue. I would recommend to anyone!

Nick was very professional and addressed my issues without a problem. Ive brought my infinity here before, the work, the clean vehicle after, all impressed me. I usually do my own work because its hard to trust anyone nowadays. I felt my vehicle was in great hands and again im very satisfied and will def be back.

I should have went to a different shop. As usual, some see a woman, they make assumptions & try to take advantage. My intuition was telling me the reasons I was told it didnt pass were false so I took my car elsewhere & it passed. Karma is coming.

Excellent as always, thanks guys.

In the past I ve had my oil changed and tires rotated here and had an excellent experience and decided to go back again to have a Trans fluid flush done. I am so glad I did. They didn t try to sell me anything I didn t need, and I paid a fair price for parts and labor. After having the flush done I really don t think my car has ever driven better than it does now. Even when I first test drove it. Damon let me know he drove my car a couple miles after the work was done to make sure everything shifted smoothly like it should. He was super helpful and easy to talk to and treated me like a real person which is rare for mechanic shops these days. I will not hesitate to keep bringing my car here in the future. 10/10.

Great service and fair prices

I have used Schenectady Auto Service exclusively for almost 30 years. Nick and his team are excellent at all they do! Going there is like visiting family!

My family has been trusting Nick at Schenectady Auto Service for over a decade! Hes always honest and his prices, fair. Oh sure we could find a street mechanic that could do the job for half the price but the work would be shoddy and never guaranteed.... a few years back we had a Subaru Forester Turbo we purchased a new that required upkeep after the dealer warranty expired . Schenectady Auto Service Ive never worked on a Subaru prior to our bringing our Forester there , instead of sending a Phelps where Nicks Schenectady Auto went out of his way to educate one of his text on Subarus in particular so that they could work on our vehicle ... if thats not customer service I dont know what is! Certainly earned our loyalty! With Nick if you need a valve cover gasket then thats what you need thats what you get and thats what you pay for not like some of these other places where you go in for one thing and leave spending thousands on things you never needed in the first places......ahhhhchoo...(Mavis Discount Tire) lol. 11 out of 10 customer service and expected price and cost I highly recommend Schenectady Auto Service. Go see Nick and tell him Emily sent you!

I had been trying to find a shop that could get me in for a worn wheel bearing but had no luck. Then a friend told me to try Schenectady Auto Service and they got me in that week and had it done by time I got out of work. They are very friendly and professional. I will definitely bring my car back when it needs to be serviced.

Geat job

Ive been using Schenectady Auto for all 3 of our vehicles. Whether a complicated job such as putting a new engine in a classic car, a simple oil change and maintenance, new tires, brakes, and mysterious foreign car issues, Schenectady Auto is reliable, professional, and the only place I take my vehicles. The shops owner, Nick is a straight shooter when it comes to quotes and cost. Damon Adam, mechanic, does amazing work. Last year he handled all the modifications and installation of a new engine in my 67 Skylark. This was a tremendous job, but he did great. Most recently, I blew a tire at the crack of dawn on the thruway. I was able to get towed right to the shop and have my car back the next morning. It would have been same day if I had more common tires. I highly recommend Schenectady Auto.

Nikki is very fair and willing to go out of his way to get you going. Thank you

Extremely kind and VERY professional. They do not try to scam or upsell you whatsoever. Tell you exactly what the issue is. Low prices!!!!!

Nick and his mechanics work wonders where others stumble and fail. He investigated an ABS failure on my car and decided it was better for me to take it to the VW dealer. His charge to me? Zero. He said, I didnt do anything. I go back to him for rear brakes in a couple of days... It is good to have him in the business.

Very helpful explain everything before they do it and work is done in a timely manner and staff is very pleasant

Great

I was always told you need a good doctor and a good mechanic. Nick and Schenectady Auto Service has never let my family or me down and we wouldnt take our vehicles to any other place.

Nick and the guys are great here. Very fair and straight shooters.

Friendly, honest service.

Very nice people and great service highly recommend this place to everyone

Hard working people to serve you better

I Love my new home Hard to believe that Ive been here almost 5yrs now, time flies! Customers are great! The Owners(Falvos) are great!!! I Love my job

a wonderful place to do business. I have had work done on 2 of my cars and could not be more satisfied. A great car repair shop that does great work. I am a customer for life. Thanks nick and the guys

These boys know what they are doing.Highly recommend.Thanks again.

Nick....Good Honest Mechanic.

My brother in law was visiting and needed brakes. Called and they fit him in and got it done in one day. Very friendly and welcoming.

Great people!

I go here a lot nice people working here. Nick the guy I see most time try to help my problems out. Good guys.

As someone who doesnt know a weeble wrench from a goring socket, I need a mechanic I can trust. Nick Falvo is THE MAN. He and his team always do their very best to help me keep costs down and keep my old car running. They tell me what I absolutely need to do and what can wait. And they always go a step beyond in service. Nick is the best mechanic Ive ever known, and one of the nicest guys.

Fantastic Speedy service on the job very professional honest and friendly not one of them businesses that will take advantage of you in order to have a good mechanic you have to trust them and have faith in them and I do thank you Schenectady Auto for your years of service honest service

Excellent service as always!

Most honest car repair Ive visited, no need to say more

Very reliable

Always a great experience, Nick and his team go out of their way to provide great customer service and getting the job done. Fair prices and I never feel like I am being taken advantage of like I have in the past with other auto services.

OK place with OK mechanics. Kind of expensive, but then again which mechanics are cheap nowadays.

I had a great experience with this company, I brought my car in for what I thought would be major surgery and only a few hours later got the call that it was already done, the problem was simpler and cheaper than I could have imagined. These guys took great care of me and will definitely be getting my business from now on.

My family and I have been coming to Schenectady Auto for years and they are one of the best if not the best mechanic shop I have ever been to. Before I knew about Schenectady Auto I was recommended to use another shop that charged me over $500 and still didnt fix the problem. I talked to my Dad about it and he recommended Schenectady Auto and they fixed it for $100! When I decided to move to Florida I brought my car there to prepare for the long trip and it made it down with no problem which is a feat because my car is not in the best of condition. And even after I was down in Florida I called and asked for some insight and advice with a potential car issue and Nick Jr. actually spent quite a bit of time explaining things to me and he provided awesome help. Id normally expect a mechanic to rush me off the phone especially since I wouldnt be bringing my car in any time soon being in Florida, but that was not even remotely the case. At Schenectady Auto they are absolutely stellar mechanics and people. I cant stay enough good things about them!
