I have been a customer of Gochee's for over twenty years. I cannot recommend them more highly. Number one reason: Trust. They care about you and your business. They do what it takes to fix things right. Number two reason: Reliable. They fix things. They don't sort of fix things. I have sometimes thought that the price of something was too high and went elsewhere and regretted it. Others quick fixes don't last and in the end Harry and Eric's team has always been right. Number three reason: Quality. They fix things. They fix them right the first time. They tell you the options. You can trust their diagnosis. I have an example. When Gochee's does break jobs they alway replace the disks and rotors (ok I don't know if it is always, but for me, they always... and to be honest I may be a little hard on the petals). This is more expensive, but it is the right way. You can't cost effectively machine rotors anymore and replacing just the pads is a short term fix that leads to performance / break life issues. So Gochee's seems expensive but it isn't. It is fair and right. So what is your time and aggregation worth. Do you want a quality job done right? What is it worth to get an estimate that expresses the true cost to fix your issue... not sort of fix it.. for now, worth? Again. Call them they get it right. read more

HORRIBLE EXEPRIENCE!!! Did not care about my safety, was unable to diagnose a basic problem, and put in part incorrectly. I went to this place because my grandmother was coming here for years prior and I wanted to keep business local. I thought they would treat me right. Big mistake. I believe this place used to be better but has gone down hill after talking to other people who come here. I went in assuming I had a brake issue. Was grinding as if pads wore down on rotars. They said brakes were fine and I needed a new axle. Immediately out of the parking lot still grinding. I go back the next day, leave my car there, they claim they cannot find anything related to the grinding. They said they cleaned off the rear brakes which is a joke of a response the issue was in the front. I go back a third day and ride with Harry. He heard the grinding sound. They still couldn't find the issue. They claimed to clean of the breaks and check out the wheels. I was told 2 days in a row Jay drove after the "work" of cleaning off the brakes and he heard no grinding. Yet as soon as I drove in the parking lot there was grinding. I told them I live 5 minute walk away. I want to come see it on the lift. They claimed they didnt have time to call me down multiple days in a row so I could look because they are so busy. I took my car to two other places. Was obvious the wheel bearings were bad causing the grinding. On top of this, the axle Gochees put in was leaking transmission fluid and moving. Other shops were happy to let me come see the issue in the garage while on lift unlike Gochees. From talking to mechanics its very unlikely I needed the axle, but this i will never truly know. So on top of putting in a part wrong that i probably did not need... and not catching the leak the part they put in 2 days i brought it in after the part was replaced... Somehow Gochees couldnt find something as basic as wheel bearing 3 days in a row? On top of this I asked Harry multiple times if it was safe to drive a long distance. He said fine with a safe.... with bad wheel bearings!! I really do not think Gochees even checked my vehicle the next days. How do you miss a leaking axle on top of wheel bearings? Either super incompetent or extremely careless to their customers. Harry offered to replace the axle leaking trans fluid that was put in incorrectly. I will not even allow this. A place that cannot identify bad wheel bearings, puts in parts incorrectly, and tells me an unsafe vehicle is safe will NOT touch my vehicle. I said they can pay for a competent shop to put it in. They refused. They refused to refund me for labor as well for the part they put in incorrectly. I am certainly not trusting this place to touch my vehicle again. One positive is they did not just randomly start putting parts on my car claiming to fix the grinding after the axle... but thats a pretty low bar for a positive. Harry seemed nice and willing to take the time to listen to my needs but for no answers. read more

I brought my car to Gochee's Garage because it would not start. I was told the issue was a faulty fuel pump and was charged approximately $1,800 for the repair. When I picked up the car and began driving it home, it immediately started running roughly and the check engine light began blinking -- indicating an active misfire. This serious issue did not exist when I originally brought the car in. I returned the vehicle the next business day. Rather than re-checking their work or considering that these symptoms appeared immediately after the fuel pump repair, the shop diagnosed a completely different issue (spark plugs) and charged me an additional $900. What was most frustrating was being told that these were "two separate problems," that the timing was "just a coincidence," and that it was reasonable to pay full price for both repairs -- even though the second issue only appeared after the first repair and was not caught during the initial diagnosis. While it was acknowledged that it was highly unlikely the spark plugs happened to fail on the exact same day as the fuel pump replacement, the shop refused to consider the possibility that something was missed or that something occurred during the repair. After posting a review, the owner publicly stated that he hoped to discuss the matter further and work toward a resolution. I followed up with a direct email, but more than two weeks passed without any response. Given the lack of follow-through, I have filed a formal complaint with the New York State DMV so that a neutral third party can review the situation and find a resolution. I am sharing this experience so future customers are aware -- not only of the repair outcome, but also of what happened afterward. I expected the shop to stand behind its work when new problems appeared immediately following a major repair. That did not happen here, and I cannot recommend this shop. read more

I brought a car with heavy rust under for a few things (belts replacement, check engine light and airbag lights on, muffler replacement). After TWO DAYS they tell me that they can't work on the car because it is too rusty. I understand their concern and don't have a problem with it. However, I was charged $190 for 1-1/2 hours of work! They didn't take care of the check engine and airbag lights (no rust issues there). So I would like to know how they spent the 1-1/2 hours which I paid for. After my local mechanic passed away last year I was hoping to find another to bring in my cars and establish a long term relationship (I do have several newer, non rusty ones) but Gochee's won't be it. read more

Just moved to the area and was looking for a convenient garage with fast, friendly service. I found it here. I literally Googled the garage closest to my new house and found Gochee's Garage. I called them and they fit me right in (told me to come now) for an oil change and tire repair. Prices were comparable to what I've paid in the past. Wow! It's like walking into 1964 - the waiting room with the 25c candy dispensers, wood paneling, and black leather couches! They had my car ready in 45 minutes, and even told me my tires did not need to be rotated, even after I had requested it (and obviously would pay for it). One major ownside though - the waiting room was FILTHY. May have actually been cleaned last in 1964. My two year old said from across the room, "What is this, Mommy?" and the receptionist knew immediately it must be a dead fly - sure enough! There were many on the couch and floor. If they could just freshen up the waiting room - I would say this is a solid family-friendly, neighborhood garage. read more

Herm. Took car here and not sure if they snowed me on the diagnosis. I am sure it was expensive.

I have lived in Delmar for around 30 years. I drove my cars for a living and put many miles on them over the years. This place is NOT expensive in the long run. You can get your oil changed at the local quick lube if you want but if you want someone to look your car over every time it comes in, and I'm not talking about nit-picking, then this is the place for you. They catch things. They have on occasion had to do expensive work but it has always saved me in the long run. Great people. read more

When I lived in Albany, I brought my car here for years. While they may be a little more pricey than bargain basement garages, they always did good work and never recommended unnecessary repairs. Gochee's let me know when I could postpone having work done (a mechanic that prioritizes honesty over making money-imagine that!) and when I needed something fixed, they got it done quickly. read more

After a couple of years as a Gochee's customer, I'm going elsewhere. First it was the time they utterly ignored my description of a problem (maybe because I'm a woman?). Now, they put new tires on my car, and tell me the steering wheel being off straight by 10 to 15 degrees is "acceptable" (but of course they'll try to fix it, if I pay for it). Nope. read more

A rip-off. Many other good local mechanics. Don't waste your time and money

My parents have been going to Gochee's since before I was born (I'm 32). When I lived in NY we went there too. They always do quality work, tell you the truth, and my parents will never go elsewhere. If I lived in NY still so would I! Best of the Best. read more
