For some fairly extensive body work after an accident they gave me a quick accurate estimate, worked with my insurance company on payment and delivered a perfectly repaired car within the time frame promised. This was my first time at Von's but I'm definitely going back for routine maintenance and repairs.

Update: I met with the owner to pay for the work they did to put on a new bumper on my car. The…read moreprice they gave me was $1,200 to put a new bumper on my car. Joe argued with me that it cost more than he quoted me to fix the bumper and asked me to pay an additional $700 to "cover his costs." I reluctantly agreed and paid him $1,900 to put a new bumper on my car. He gave me the keys and told me where my car was parked. I went to retrieve my car and ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS WERE MISSING FROM THE CAR. I asked the mechanic who was there where my items were and he told me that Joe told him that the car was his now and that I had already sold the car to Joe and that he threw away everything that was in the car. I said are you kidding me, I never sold my car to him. The mechanic told me "well, Joe told me that you already sold the car to me and I thought this car was mine." THEY TOOK MY PLATES OFF THE CAR, TOOK MY REGISTRATION OFF MY CAR, CLEARED OUT MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT (THREW AWAY MY REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE INFORMATION) AND ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS (JUMPER CABLES, CLOTHES, BAG OF TOOLS, BOX OF K-CUPS AND RECEIPTS I HAD IN THE CAR). I noticed that the registration was missing from the car and again asked the mechanic about this. I told him that it's illegal to remove the registration from someone's car. He told me again "Joe told me that you sold him the car, I thought the car was mine. He was talking about having dealer plates on the car and it is very likely he was using my car for personal use. I WAS SHOCKED!!! I should have called the police right then, but was just in a state of shock and left with my car. Later that day I was looking at the new bumper they put on my car and THEY PUT A BROKEN, CRACKED AND SCRATCHED USED BUMPER ON MY CAR. I called Joe and told him that all my personal belongings were missing from the car (he responded by saying if you think items are missing from your car then you should file a claim with your insurance company), I told him that you also took my registration off of the car and threw away everything that was in my glove compartment (he responded by saying "you sold me your car"), I told him I never sold you my car, that's a lie, you work in the auto industry and you know you never had a bill of sale or a signed title, what you did was illegal, I told him and to top it off you put a broken, cracked and scratched used bumper on my car and I would like to come back by your shop and get my money back (he responded "You wanted me to put a used bumper on your car and I don't have any of your money") I said that's another lie, I gave you $1,900 and why would I pay you to put a broken and cracked bumper on my car? I said there are two ways we can go about this, I can come down to your store and you can give me the money back or I can take you to court (he responded "I don't have any of your money - do what you think you have to do). That same day I filed a police report with the Green Island police department. The police were shocked by everything that I shared with them and said you need to take him to court and sue him. I will be taking Joe to court to get my money back.

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 :)

Honestly, I was expecting a headache, but the team here was great. Dan and the guys upfront were super welcoming, kept me updated, and didn't try to upsell me on a million things I didn't need. They got the brakes expected. It's a huge relief to find an honest mechanic shop that can actually handle everything from a quick oil change to major repairs under one roof.

My Toyota dealer…read more(doesn't matter which because they all stink equally) during my free routine service told me I needed new tires and quoted me a high number. Went to Labarges. They told my nope. My tires were good. Another routine service. The dealer said I needed new brakes. Labarges agreed, but half as expensive. Most recently. My fan was making a weird noise so I thought they might cover the repair since I was at 40k miles, just outside the warranty of course. They also noticed my state inspection was overdue. Had to pay the dealer a $189 "diagnostic fee" to discover it was just acorns clogging a filter so I needed a need filter and of courses the acorns removed. $21 for state inspection which is failed because I didn't realize this, but I had two chipped taillights (my daughter is 17 and I'll leave it at that) so I'm $250 into the dealer and they tell me it's another $700+ to repair the taillights. So I stop at Labarges. They tell me to go to a junk yard or eBay and order a left inner and a right outer tail light and they'll pop them in for me. $155 on eBay brand new. And I happened to have a slow leak so they said that the sensor is starting to go, it he cleaned it up, but the aluminum sensors are garbage so they wanted me I'll likely need to replace them eventually. Charge to replace the headlights, cleanup sensor, and repair slow leak. $50 because it took them 30 minutes to do all that work. They charge you for the time they spend. A novel thought no? For anyone looking for a mechanic, why go anywhere else? They saved me over $1,000 on my most recent visits from what the dealer wanted to charge me.
