Since discovering this gentleman and his repair shop not long ago I have been bringing both of my…read morevehicles to him for repairs. This review just reinforces my previous review. Kenta Bond, the owner of this shop is a man of high integrity. He also is a master of customer service. I call him a dinosaur because, even though he is a rather young person, he provides "old time" customer service. His pricing is extremely competitive - better than many - and he truly cares about his customers. The other day he stayed late to make sure my car repair was complete. It was not a simple repair. The car needed an axle. The parts supply house was very late getting him the needed part so Mr. Bond actually got in his car and went to the supply house and picked up the part himself. That pushed the repair completion time back. However, Mr. Bond stayed about an hour past usual closing time to get the job done for me. He does high quality work and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Please help support this small local business. He needs the support far more than the big chain repair shops in the area and his price markups are far less than theirs!

I needed some Car Repairs so I reached out to my Brother in Law to see if He could recommend…read moreanyone. He told Me about how well the people at Capital Auto tech have treated Him over the Years. I asked Him if they work on Foreign cars as well and He said yes. After going there a few Years now myself I couldn't agree more. Everytime I have had a issue with one of my Cars they have got it done in a timely manner, the cost has been very fair and the customer service has been Great. I am very Grateful to have a Mechanic in the City that my whole extended Family can now depend on. The older I get the more I appreciate good service That is why I felt compelled to leave a Review. I recommend Capital auto tech to everyone and just want to say Thank You to everyone who works there For all your help over the Years.

I do recommend going there and making an appointment. I made the appointment last week to bring my car in with a laundry list of repairs.

Derrick just called me before 10am and cancelled some unnecessary repairs that were recommended by another shop... All in all I'm so happy!

Like any good mechanic they are in demand so it can sometimes be hard to get through and one needs to be proactive about communicating their needs.

Dan is a great guy who knows what he is talking about, and his mechanics are pretty knowledgeable and kind as well. As a young woman who doesn't know much about cars, I'm always afraid of getting scammed and up-charged; with my luck some other numbnut mechanic out there would try to convince me to buy their "premium air"... I'm happy I found a place where I don't have to worry about that. If you want to patronize a knowledgeable business that practices honesty and integrity, go to La Barge's in Albany :)
