DON'T BELIEVE THESE REVIEWS. THEY ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN BY FRIENDS. LAST YEAR THEY HAD ONLY BAD REVIEWS, WHICH WE READ ONLY AFTER THEY HAD OUR CAR FOR 6 MONTHS. THEY LIE AND ARE TOTALLY DISHONEST.
In March 2016 I brought my 1978 Classic Mercedes convertible to Evia Motors on the advice of a mechanic, who said that Evia worked on foreign cars. The car would intermittently refuse to start after it had been used, leaving me stranded at a store, etc. In August of the same year the proprietor of Evia, Bill, informed me that the car was ready. I picked it up, drove to Interstate 87 and went approximately 10 miles when the car died in the center lane. I managed to play with the ignition and got off the interstate. My wife came and we drove to Evia Motors, as they never answer their phone or return calls. NEVER! They picked up the car, said they would get to the bottom of what was wrong and fix it. We didn't hear from them although we attempted to contact them repeatedly.
Around March of 2017 I called Evia Auto Sales, to which Evia is connected. They do answer their phones. I told them that they needed to do something or I would file a complaint with the DMV. They asked me to wait and they would have him call me. He did and guaranteed the car would be ready by the summer. In early July I had Pottersville Garage go to Glens Falls to pick up the car, which Evia claimed was ready. When they got there the proprietor, Bill, called me to say that as they were driving the car onto the flatbed the rear wheel locked, that he didn't want to send it like that, would fix it and personally drive the car to us, some 40 miles away, on Wednesday night. Needless to say he didn't arrive. He said he would be here at 6PM. At 9PM I left him a message saying I was still waiting.
In the morning he called and said he had gotten as far as Warrensberg, two exits south of us and the car died, so he had taken it back to Glens Falls. Don't ask me how, but it would be fixed and he would drive it up the following Wednesday. I wish I could say I didn't believe him but I want to trust people. Of course he didn't come.
For a second time I hired the Pottersville Garage to get the car. When they arrived Bill wasn't there. They took retrieved the car. I have not heard from him since.
15 months after I first brought the car to Evia, it is sitting in my driveway. It doesn't run. The tires were significantly low and could not possibly have been driven on, which puts the lie to their saying it was driven to Warrensburg.
I don't believe that Evia Motors did any work on the car. It is in worse running condition than it was when it was brought to him. read more
