“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Hands down the best auto-detailing and protection shop in the Capital Region.”
I don’t usually write reviews, but The Works Auto Center deserves every bit of this one. From the moment I pulled into their shop, I could tell these guys operate on another level. The communication, the professionalism, the honesty — everything was just top-notch.
I brought my vehicle in for a ceramic coating and some interior work, and the results blew me away. The paint looks better than when it was new. The team took their time walking me through the process, answering every question, and making sure I knew exactly what I was getting. No upselling, no pressure — just real experts who clearly take pride in what they do.
The shop is spotless, the staff is friendly, and you can tell the owner genuinely cares about both the quality of the work and the customers’ experience. It’s rare these days to find a business that combines skill, integrity, and insane attention to detail.
If you’re thinking about detailing, PPF, undercoating, or anything to protect your vehicle, don’t waste time shopping around — go straight to The Works Auto Center. Worth every dollar, and I won’t take my vehicles anywhere else.”
“Outstanding experience at Red Mill Auto. Very professional, friendly, and great communication. My car was completed in a timely manner and came out great. Would highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of repairs!”

“After having been rear ended and trying to find a place to get an estimate for the insurance company Dan at TACS Autobody stepped out and knocked it out of the park. They fit me in the same day and were courteous, knowledgeable and quick! The insurance company accepted their estimate with no questions and they issued my check. Calling around so many shops would not even look at my car for two weeks. I highly recommend TACS for any service you may require and a personal thanks to Dan for making a stressful situation much more bearable. :)”
“We’ve used their services many times, and they always do good work for a fair price. There is a reason State Farm Insurance approves Schodack Auto’s estimates automatically without due process: Schodack Auto has earned their trust, and mine as well.”
“The buying experience was very comfortable from beginning to end. Saumera was very good at maintaining contact and offering options throughout the sale without making us feel pressured to make a deal we weren’t happy with. Destination is obviously a large dealership that deals in high volumes, but our experience still felt personal. They were highly recommended by friends who have bought from them in the past and we would definitely recommend them to potential buyers.”
“This is a review praising Ryan, who works at this location. He kindly helped change my car battery after it broke down on the side of the road. He jumped my car and made sure my car arrived safely for the battery change. His actions speak volumes about the ethics of this place!”

“My experience at Caliber in Colonie was exceptional from start to finish. Allan T., the estimator gave an accurate and transparent estimate and kept me updated on progress regularly. The repair work was expertly done and looks great. Cleaning the car inside and out was a nice touch. I'd definately recommend Caliber for any auto body repairs.”

“Sent my brand new truck in for a bed liner, the attention to detail is like no other. Every plug, cover, or plate war removed so if any work needed to be done in the future you could still access them, and to top it off the truck came back cleaner than i gave it to them.”
“My car was badly damaged when I hit a deer downstate on a Saturday. Beaver Body & Paint was open until 6 pm, allowing me ample time to tow my car there. They did such an amazing job from start to finish, I will never go to another body shop. The repairs were fast, excellently done, and extremely fair in price. Ali took such great care of me and made sure answer all my questions at every step along the repair process. Even when my insurance was frustrating me, Ali made me feel like it was going to be okay with his kind, calm, professional demeanor. They even detailed my car for me and helped to replace a missing side mirror cover at a price far less than a dealership had quoted me a year ago. I can't say enough good things about Beaver Body & Paint, they really are the best.”
“Nick is absolutely amazing! He was referred to me by a family friend, which im so grateful for , He was so efficient and thorough .. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If i could give him 10 stars I would!”
“Pat and his guys are so quick and professional. Had my car in and out in a day looking literally brand new. Even ran it through the wash. I know absolutely nothing about cars and had never been in an accident before. Pat walked me through the whole process with my insurance and what to expect. Couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“Rich and Raul were top notch! They were attentive and very professional! I was so happy to get my car back! I’d recommend Nopper’s to anyone who needs their car repaired!!”
“Last year, I had repairs done at Cole’s after someone rear ended my parked car. After the repairs I noted that one of the car panels looked like it wasn’t fastened all the way to make the car look good-as-new. They reached out to me to bring my car in to have the work completed to my liking. They are communicative about repair progress, use OEM parts, and have relationships with rental companies to put you in a loaner on site. A special shout-out to Rowan for taking my case and overseeing the job all the way through.”

“My husband and I purchased a car from access auto in January2025, A 2016 Hyundai Tucson we were so happy with how much help Joe the owner and John the mechanic were and the honesty was a breath of fresh air , Then we returned in march and purchased a Cadillac . We loved that there was no pushy sales and he answered all of our questions . Oh yeah and the screen to the Cadillac had a hair pin crack I hadn’t really noticed Joe had it replaced so I didn’t get stuck with a pricey problem ❤️ They are very accommodating and so glad we purchased from them and would highly recommend them to everyone .”

“Best auto body shop in my opinion. My family has had much work done here. Everytime we were amazed at what a great job Tony and his team do. You will it be disappointed.”
“So, I’m always extremely hesitant to go to any body shops or mechanic mainly because I’ve been screwed over by them and or are VERY over priced… going into a mechanic and or body shop can be overwhelming and intimidating. On 2/13/24 I got two flat tires which has never happened before, I googled nearest body shop and called THEY GOT ME IN AND OUT OF THERE in less than an hour!!! Not only that gave me an amazing deal with two new tires!!! I can honestly say it was the most calm, easy, and fast. I will never go to another mechanic. I trust this company and the ppl who work here. Extremely satisfied and beyond happy with my experience & results! I couldn’t thank them enough!!!!”
“The best service every time. Honest, reliable, affordable. I have peace of mind knowing my car is well taken care of and I will happily make the trip out to Harbeck’s no matter where I move in the Capital Region.”
“I had a great experience being helped by the staff at coles collision. From the time I dropped off my car and the time I picked it up service was amazing. I found when I picked up my car it was vacuumed and cleaned inside in out. Fantastic coles is a class act. Would definitely recommend!!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars
I had an excellent experience at this Body Shop. I met the owner, and he is truly a super nice, respectful, and professional person. He treated me like a real human being from the very beginning — something you don’t always get everywhere. The work they did on my car came out perfect, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free.
I 100% recommend this place. If you have any issue with your car, or if your vehicle was involved in an accident and needs repairs, this is the place to go. You won’t regret it.”
“I can’t even begin to explain how this company went above and beyond. Lauren is absolutely amazing and so helpful. Frank also has been amazing. From a stressful accident that happened by another person and not wanting to provide insurance information. I highly recommend this company because they actually care about their customers and not just the money… You all rock and deserve 1000 stars.Services: Body & Trim”
“My vehicle was involved in an accident and the insurance company provided me a list of shops to take my car for repairs. After doing research and reading reviews, I chose paintworx. I couldn’t be happier with how my car came out but the customer service was amazing. Kept me updated throughout the process, got my car done a week early, and even cleaned the interior which I was not expecting! Highly recommend to anyone in need of body work”
“Although I did not take my fleet vehicle to this location; the very kind and professional gentleman on the phone was open and honest about his situation. I’m sure this is a great mechanic, as Firestone recommends the location. They were obliged to help, knowing that they already had a full lot!”

“In November, my husband and I went to De Paula Chevrolet to get the tier fixed on our 2020 Chevrolet equinox. After the tire was fixed I said to my husband, let’s go and see if we are eligible for an upgrade.we ended up going to the same person that sold us that equinox his name is Dave Barry. He checked it out for us. Long story short, we were able to get an upgrade. Dave Barry has the one checked it out for us. Long story short, we were able to get an upgrade of a brand new 2026 Chevrolet equinox. We are grateful for Dave Barry for working with us again we were pleased with him the first time and even more so now thank you so much for all that you have done for us and your workmanship as a car dealer. You are a wonderful person with a beautiful character. We wish you nothing but the best. And also the young man that was working with you that day we can’t remember his name, but I hope that you let him know. We also appreciate him as well.”

“I've only had to contact Armory's service department 3 times and each time I've been taken care of immediately. Both Paul Cassala and Nick Miller have been great in taking care of any problems I've had. It makes it a lot easier when you you have a responsible crew to take care of you.”
“Great experience having our car repaired at Hart's. The quality of workmanship is superb. Excellent communication, with all questions answered promptly. Laurie took care of us perfectly, going above and beyond our expectations. She accommodated our schedule and even had the car pass the NYS safety inspection at a shop next door. Highly recommend. Thank you Laurie!”
