Bottom line: They are too busy and do not want your business. They are by appointment only - do not…read moreexpect prompt service. Read your bill carefully - they overcharge. Went to them to get the state inspection, oil change, and have my car engine light fixed and exhaust shield replaced. First problem. They said, we cannot take your car right now, come back in a week. I get promotional mailings from them regularly, and not a single one said - by appointment only. Their website does not say, by appointment only, either. The owner Timm Baldauf, however, told me that you usually need to call for an appointment a week ahead. Second problem. OK, I came back in a week. Left the car with them. They charged me for the repairs I did not authorize: rotating tires, replacing cabin filter and engine air filter - for the total of $150. They also charged me $174 for the just "diagnosis" of engine light, which takes all of 5 minutes. The owner Timm Baldauf claimed it takes him 1.5 hours to "diagnose" engine light. Third problem. They still did not repair the exhaust shield. In the beginning, they could not find the place where it fell off. Then they found the place, but could not repair it the same day. They told me they will give me a quote next day, but never called. A day later, when I called them to ask about the overcharging, they still did not know the price of the exhaust shield. The owner Timm Baldauf claimed, "he is waiting for the quote from Toyota"; I think he was lying because nowadays you can get the price online in minutes. After my request conversation, Timm Baldauf agreed to refund $100 in unauthorized repairs but refused to refund $174 for the "diagnosis" of the engine light claiming this to be the correct charge because it takes him 1.5 hour at $115 to diagnose the engine light.

These guys are a class act among auto mechanics.

I called the next day and Kirby, the mastermind, asked me all sorts of questions about it. He did a thorough inspection and got back to me with all of the apparent problems, possible problems, and the costs the very next day. And even though I ended up junking the car, they never charged me for the inspection. Once you go to Advanced Auto Repair, you can't go back. They're a breath of fresh air in service most people don't trust. Kudos! Five stars.

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.

Took my car to capital tech for a leaking water pump. James did this work on his own time which…read moreinvolved changing the water pump as well as the timing chains and tensioners. About 2 weeks later the car developed an oil leak from the area of the crankshaft seal and or the timing cover as well as the front valve cover gasket, all of which he had to change. I paid James 900 dollars cash and I supplied the parts needed to do the job. Now after 2 weeks of text messages and 2 or 3 phone calls to my place of employment, James said he has not forgot about me. I have now taken the vehicle to another mechanic for the repairs. This review is not about Capital Tech itself but the mechanic. I am expecting these repairs to cost another 300 to 500 dollars on top of the almost 1600 parts and labor already spent.
