They're fair and honest: I brought in a quote from another shop that seemed suspicious and they immediately pointed out what was unnecessary and gave me fair prices for everything else. Most of all, they're excellent mechanics: My breaks had been worked on before at another shop and always seemed low and spongy, I asked them if the break performance could be improved because the car was starting to feel unsafe. When I got it back the breaks were 100% improved, they finally felt right! Thank you CJ's, I won't be taking my car anywhere else.

('cos, you know, "we had to remove the front end off the carrrr!") michaels crew did the job quickly, and even noticed a detail relating to another light, which i was unaware of. they repaired it. with no whining. and they charged a very reasonable price. i am both impressed and thrilled. thank you, MICHAEL'S AUTOMOTIVE. you will see us again.

Best Auto Service in the entire Capital District....bar none!…read more I was in a terrible bind and under severe time constraints, and Jim's Service Center took our car right in and got us back on the road in 30 minutes.

This is our new Auto Service Center whenever we need to get something fixed. Thank God for Jim's Service Center!

Approximately 2 weeks later on a trip to Nashville Tennessee the repair failed while drivng down the highway 1100 miles from home. The failure almost caused my tire to fall off. I was able to get it to the side of the highway and towed to a local garage. Without any prior knowledge of a recent repair the mechanic in Tennessee noted the cv axle nut was cross threaded and caused the failure. When approached, Lee got defensive and claimed by the pictures he saw it was caused by a different part in the wheel even though the mechanic who had hands and eyes on it noted the failure was caused by the cross thread. Instead of taking responsibility Lee decided to lie about his conversation with the mechanic in Tennessee and then proceeded to offer me less than half the cost of repair in order to make this go away. Now im forced to sue him and make sure everyone knows the hack job his garage did. ​​

But, they also fixed (or faked) other 'problems' that we didn't ask about, for a total cost five times what we expected going in! We took our car in for an A/C recharge and oil change. Somehow they decided we needed new wheel bearings ($$$), even though we weren't having any problems. We couldn't even tell that they actually did anything. When we came to pick up our car, Boyer's had drained the battery to the point where the dash wouldn't light up. We had never had a problem starting the car prior to this. So we had to leave it there. When they replaced the battery a week later, they not only charged us the full price for the problem they had caused, they also tacked on some small charges for other 'fixes' we hadn't approved. This included new headlamps (I happen to have checked the headlamps just before bringing the car in and they were working fine then) and adding oil (I guess they forgot they had just changed the oil!)
