Professional mechanics and reasonable prices. They were recommended by a family member and they did an exceptional job. Theyre are busy so make sure you schedule early.

First time customer.James Garage always has plenty of customers, so I figured he knew what he was doing or else his lot would be empty.Courteous fast service. I will go back for future service on my vehicle.

The best mechanic in Albany! Locally owned and operated! James treats his customers fairly and will not gouge you or convince you to get repairs you dont need.He helped me last year when my alternator died unexpectedly and got it fixed ASAP even though they were busy. Then this year when it broke two weeks outside of the warranty. James took care of it again and didnt charge me a cent even though he could have since they warranty was up.I go to James for everything now, including oil changes! The only reason I would say dont go to James is so that I dont have to wait longer if I need to get *my* car in! 🤣And an important note for femme folx, I never felt like he was talking down to me, treating me poorly, or trying to take advantage of my supposed lack of car knowledge because Im a woman. We all know that experience at mechanics...

James does good work at a fair price. I recommend bringing your car in to his garage before the dealerships, you will get better service. James shows much care to his customers.

James was recommended by a friend. He got me in the same day, work was done on time, repairs were fully explained and price was very reasonable. I was greeted immediately by one of the mechanics and asked if they could help, which doesnt always happen.

I had a stuck oil drain plug mid-DIY oil change that I couldnt break loose, called James the next morning and he got me in right away. I also had a new part I wanted installed and he was great about that, too. I was in and out super fast for an extremely fair price. We will definitely look to James first for any of our non-DIY vehicle needs! So nice to have such a local, reliable and professional shop - especially as a young woman, the guys were extremely kind and didnt make me feel shy about wanting to do some of my own maintenance or installing a part they hadnt seen before - SO nice!

I know of this business because I went to school with his son. We took my husbands 2001 dodge ram in and they fixed the issue the first time! Pricing was reasonable and they were professional:) we will be back with all of our vehicle issues we may run into in the future. Highly recommend!

Always willing to help. Very knowledgeable. Fair prices. Sometimes does not charge for simple advice. Does not try to gouge you or upsell.

These guys are freaking awesome. I brought my truck in for a somewhat difficult issue, just to have them give me an idea what might need to be done, and perhaps get an estimate. They immediately put it up on the hoist, determined what was needed and had the work done in two hours (they had to wait on a part!). Ive never had service like that before, ever. Super nice staff and very reasonably priced. I will definitely take my vehicles there for further work in the future.

100% recommend James for any of your car needs!!! He is honest and fair and overall just a great guy and a great place to take your cars. I took my car down there and within two minutes he was able to take what was wrong and quickly gave me a fair quote and didnt pressure me into making a decision and said just to let him know when I was ready to get it scheduled.

Anybody needing to get some mechanic work done hit this person up. This person is very fair and honest. I need my carcatalytic converter fixed. Most places I’ve looked around was gonna cost me 2k for it. So I drop in to make an appointment he quoted me on the high side just to be safe at 1,800 but when he called me and told me that he can get the parts for 1,400 I said do it.

Daughters car had a bad alternator. Replaced with good quality alternator with a quick turnaround. Also gave us the other recommendations of what needed to be done soon. They back their work and it shows. They have become our regular mechanic for anything I cant easily fix in my spare time.

I recommend James Garage. James was able to accommodate my truck at the last minute for an oil change and check up. Really appreciate his kindness and he was very pleasant to work with. Prices were more than fair, and James understood my goal to make sure the truck is in good working order (and not waste my dollars on non urgent work) The truck is running great and I have peace of mind! I was also offered a ride home after I dropped the truck off and James offered to help load my bike in the truck when I picked it up.

Review №36

This was the second time in less than 2 months that I needed the assistance of a mechanic and for the second time I reached out to James to drop what he was doing and come jump start my car. James was polite and quick to respond. He never complained or pointed out that it was my fault. He got my car started and once we got to the garage he did the battery exchange in a timely manner while I waited. I would recommend James Garage strongly to any one that needs a skilled mechanic.

I called and made arrangements to drop off my pickup and the guys did a great job. My truck is running great and the price was more than fair. I highly recommend this shop for people who dont want a dealer to service their vehicles. Thanks guys, very happy!

My car had a leak in one of the tubes leading from the radiator and had over heated earlier that day and i needed to have it replaced. I went to an auto zone and picked up the tube and was told to go to James Garage. From the second i arrived everyone there was so helpful and super nice! They took my car back and had it all fixed up and ready to go super fast! If you have any car trouble i would definitely recommend taking your car here. It was a great experience and i cant thank them enough!

I normally get my car serviced at Snyder & Son. However, I called them to inquire about getting some work done to my cars air conditioning system, and they recommended me to James Garage (Snyder & Son informed me they do not have the equipment/refrigerant to service AC systems). I called and left a voicemail for James; he called me back shortly thereafter. It is nice to be able to speak to the owner of a business. After speaking with him for 5-10 min., James basically diagnosed the problem over the phone (car overheating at idle and poorly-functioning AC) and was able to give me a quote over the phone as well. We scheduled an appointment for the next week (it seems like he stays pretty booked-up, which I took as a good sign). My cars AC has never worked better (it blows super cold now) and I am very satisfied with my overall experience. The bill was the exact amount quoted by James, so there were no surprises there. I would definitely do business with James again and I will recommend him to others, especially for AC work.
