You generally deal with Nick, the owner, every time bring your car there. I brought a car there that another local shop had quoted me a grand for a brake job I didn't need, without providing the quote I asked for re: the check engine light. Nick explained the diagnostic process and pricing, and I agreed to have him do it. The problem was nothing in a repair manual. Mice had chewed wiring. He diagnosed and repaired the damage (and checked the brakes) for barely $200. A couple times I tried to pay him for doing little things and he wouldn't let me. Nick seems to be a mechanic by choice ... a "car guy". But more importantly, he's extremely honest/ethical. Just remembered .... I brought a rusted Toyota Tacoma to him that needed several things done. He could have profited from the considerable work, but advised and showed me that the truck wouldn't pass inspection due to extensive frame rot (which Toyota refused to repair), and advised me to save my money. Having moved into the area last year, I feel fortunate to have a mechanic I can trust completely. read more

I took my Volvo s60 to Abbott's Automotive for a Timing belt change. I tried to take it to Wappingers Volvo for the service but they couldn't make a service reservation because they said "Their computer system was down nationwide". Frustrated because in the past I had to wait a few weeks for an appointment. Abbott's took me right in , gave me an estimate which included a water pump and took their time in getting this service right and on tack with the original estimate. Timing belt replacement is always a costly necessity but it would have cost me far more than I paid if I waited for Volvo Service. They communicated with me during the entire process and made me aware that my Volvo required a special timing tool, which they bought and installed the timing belt perfectly. The care and diligence they showed made me one of their newest customers. I highly recommend Abbott's especially if you have a Volvo. Carl from Cottekill read more

I was driving the other day and the backside of my car collapsed. I was able to have it towed to Abbott's. The car was repairable, but it probably wouldn't be worth putting the money into it. Abbott's was 100% honest and transparent about this and did not try to take advantage. The car that probably won't last that much longer (it would have been around $2,000) to fix. Some places will take advantage and fix things that don't even need to be fixed. Instead, Abbott's was openly honest and even offered to help me dispose of the vehicle if I decided to go that route. I would 100% recommend Abbott automotive to anyone living in the High Falls/Stone Ridge/Rosendale area. They are honest and the customer service is amazing. I do not live in the immediate area, but I plan on giving this shop my business in the future. Reasonable prices and honest staff! read more

This was my first time ever bringing a car to a mechanic and I was so impressed. Nick and his staff were all kind, honest, and helpful. I brought him my '02 VW Beetle at the recommendation of a friend after I was having fuel problems. Nick and his staff spent half the day working on it and then called me in. He explained to me that the work my car needed would cost more than the car was worth, as he'd found out while looking at my fuel problem that in addition to that, my transmission was going bad. He even offered to give me my money back since he couldn't really fix the problem but I refused. In the end, I left with great advice - when I could have easily been swayed by someone else to keep paying for work to be done. His honesty and caring demeanor during the whole process ensured that next time I need some work done, I'll be going back to him. read more

One of the more stressful things in life for a woman is to find an auto mechanic she can trust. Abott Automotive is a place that caters to the individual, and cares about its comfort, safety, and well-being. I found Abbott Automotive 'by chance,' and met Nick as a result of a totally flat tire I had sustained after coming out of a meeting. He promptly assessed the damage to the car, and fixed it, helping me to get back on the road ~ and home safely. He gave me good advice about saving money on the tire, since it was fairly new, and installed by another company. He did this simply to help me, as a human being. And I give him my highest recommendation. A rare find, a great person, and a caring, trustworthy, highly skilled and professional mechanic. If a mechanic can be an 'angel,' this might be the one. Thank You. read more

I went in yesterday morning after a scary noise became unbearable from my back tire. I called the shop as I had found it on Facebook and Nick said he could look at it that day. He was so friendly, kind, and understanding. My problem ended up being very small and inexpensive, which was a huge relief. On top of fixing that issue, he noticed my oil was overdo for a change and he did that for me to too. Honestly, this is the best place to go in this area and probably any area. You will not be disappointed. As someone who doesn't have much money and is always a wreck if something happens to my vehicle, this is the place to go. Nick is honest and completely approachable. I'm so glad I found this place! read more

Even though I had never used them before they treated me as a customer from the start. Very Professional and great communication. Everyone that I had any interaction with was knowledgeable and concerned about my problem. It was an extended warranty on my Prius and they explained in detail that the warranty company would need to check into the problem and then let me know what amount they would pay and what amount I would be responsible for. They called me on the phone immediately after the adjuster had visited the shop and explained everything in detail. The car was ready exactly when they said it would. I picked it up and then they followed up with a call to check. read more

Abbott Automotive is definitely a great choice for anything you need in car repair and maintenance. They have helped me out of so many jambs with my different vehicles over the years. Whether it was my everyday truck or my old plow truck, Abbott and his staff instructed me on the best approach to fix whatever issue I was having. Moreover, in an emergency situation this past winter, they took me right in and had me back on the road quickly so I could go to work. They are professional, friendly, and fair-priced. It is great to have a hometown mechanic that cares about me and my vehicle. I recommend Abbott to everyone without reservation. read more

Met up with some friends at a local High Falls restaurant, and when I went out to my Jeep after the meal, it wouldn't start. Being an hour from home, I was totally at the mercy of the local garage, and I feared the worst. Fast forward a few hours, Nick (the owner) calls me back and tells me that it was just a bad fuse and instead of quoting me for a new starter, new relay, new engine for all I know...he tells me that the fix is gonna be just a few dollars. If I lived in town, this guy would have all my business. Next time I'm in High Falls and break down, I know who to call. Thanks, Abbott Automotive for being decent. read more

Gladys T Toscano Abbott Automotive is my car's safe place!! A neighbor referred me to Abbott Automotive and since the first call to Debbie, I've felt at ease!

Just went to Abbott for the first time, after a bad experience at the dealer. Wow, what a difference dealing directly with the owner and his technicians, rather than a service writer and techs who you never see. The guys are all nice, and you can just tell they love working on cars and trucks. The shop and waiting room are very neat and clean. If it is possible for an garage to incorporate principles of Feng Shui, Abbott Automotive certainly does. read more

By far the best mechanic I've ever been to. Nick and his crew are incredibly talented, honest and kind. I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else! The best service around. Nick helped me pick out tires and spent time explaining all the differences in tread pattern, rubber and brand names. I ended up with great tires at a great price and in less than half the time I expected. Thanks guys (and Courtney) ! read more

My car died on the road and was towed to Abbott, our regular mechanic. The very next morning Nick took time out of his busy day to look at it, and he fixed it quickly. A hose had come out. He could have told me anything, he could have charged me a lot for his time, but he did neither. Nick is a very talented mechanic, a very honest man, and that is rare combination indeed in his profession. read more

I have been using Abbott Automotive from the first month they opened. I have always been impressed with Nick, Debbie, Kevin and all the mechanics there who have worked on my car over the years. Their work is always done well, and the price is always reasonable. Plus, they are all great people, friendly, competent and honest. I wouldn't go anywhere else for work on my car. read more

Nick Abrams, owner and mechanic at Abbott Automotive, is fair and honest. He knows his stuff. He's worked on a few of my vehicles over the years and has always gone the extra mile.

I am a new fan. a month ago I needed a part replaced and they repaired it within the hour on the same day I walked in. Really friendly and fast service. And the only reason this review is a month late is because I was traveling. Abbot is most definitely my new car shop. Thanks so much. You're awesome! read more
