“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!!!!”
“This towing business is simply great. The guy who runs it is exceptional. I would never consider using anyone else. He takes care of my vehicles as if they were his own and his pricing is always fair. If you ever need a tow, this is your go-to guy.”

“Our car was stuck on the highway on a weekend morning near Albany NY. We called a major roadside service, and through shear incompetence, waited hours for a tow truck that never came. We called Joe, and he was there in 20 minutes. He had us fixed up in short order. We are thankful for his fast and friendly service.I don’t think he takes credit cards. Venmo or cash, if I recall correctly.(Note: The image on Google Maps is a house. I was initially concerned that this was not a real towing service. Thankfully it was and is.Joe: You really need to put a picture of your truck or business on Google Maps)”
“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!”
“I called this morning because my check engine light went on, Pete got me in right away, addressed the issue and changed my oil while I waited. I was so relieved, words cannot express how great it is to have someone who I can trust servicing my vehicle. I've been a customer for years, this is why.”
“On December 26th my car became disabled n the NYS Thruway. Nothing worked included the flashers. It was 5 degrees and snowing. The Thruway contacted Dawson’s; the rig arrived in twenty minutes and the driver, Aaron, could not have been cheerier, more knowledgeable or helpful. I’ve never needed a tow before but this turned a miserable experience into an almost pleasant event!”
“I brought my vehicle in for an issue with the tires (purchased elsewhere) and their treadwear not lasting per the tire warranty. Vinny was a great help, outstanding customer service and very respectful and professional. He looked at the vehicle and performed all necessary requests for the warranty company. Him and his staff were great to work with. I further asked about an inspection, and he/his staff performed a same day inspection right away. They were awesome to work with. I highly recommend this shop for your mechanical, tire and inspection needs.”

“Perlman’s was dispatched for me by a third-party roadside assistance company. My car being broken down was the straw that broke the camel’s back in an already very bad week. The driver was so kind and sympathetic as I intermittently sobbed throughout the towing process, all while dealing with a jump start turned tow in 20° weather with an electronic e-brake that didn’t want to shut off and a car that was parked at the wrong angle in a narrow parking lot. Very grateful for the kindness I was shown.”

“I must say my dealings with the Staff at Roberts Towing was very pleasant. They towed my car after an accident on the highway, which was stressful to say the least. They were genuine, accommodating and very professional. I’m appreciative for their kindness and support.”
“I worked closely with Amanda. She was a blessing! Seriously! I had to have my engine failed Kia towed from Fucillo in Schenectady to Destination in Albany. Fucillo lost my car! Amanda and her team went back couple different times to check to see if my car was found. She went above and beyond and checked on me even after the service had ended . Thankfully had the pleasure to work with her today, knowing the ordeal yesterday. I recommend Essentials Towing to everyone!”
