phone: (518) 237-4456

suggested by Kim: "they're awesome, they fix everything right the FIRST time, and they don't condescend at all. On the occasions it's been a quick fix w/minimal labor time (like just resetting something that looked worrisome,) they haven't charged me. They're not cheap when they *do* have something that needs fixing, but they don't gouge you on price either, and again, they do it *right* the first time."

suggested by komradebob: "Local folks, great service, honest, even to the point of turning me away with 'That's too big a job for us take it to the dealer'. Awesome."

Vince's Garage

40 Watervliet Ave Albany, NY 12206
phone: (518) 438-6775

mechanic: Dan

suggested by rebecca: "Dan (Vince's son, now owner) is friendly, knowledgeable AND even if you are female, talks to you like you have a brain in your head. Won't do anything you don't need, will suggest things you do and will clarify if it's dire or not. True story: after my father (since everyone's dad knows more than any mechanic!) suggested I need new brakes I dropped my car off with Dan. He disassembled/inspected all components, then called and asked why I thought I needed new brakes as mine were fine. Oh, by the way, he never even charged me for the labor/time it took to check everything out AND didn't hold it against me that it was all on my dad's good intentioned but misguided suggestion! Dan rocks!"

suggested by Susan: "Danny always remembers me and my cars, and even though my husband and I are not mechanical, he never makes us feel dumb. His prices are way better than the dealers, and he was able to fix a ton of minor oil leaks on a 15-year-old car that other decent mechanics were never able to completely fix. He is also a nice guy, and doesn't intimidate you even when you KNOW you've treated your car poorly before bringing it in to him!"
