“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “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.”
“I recently had my 60k service done on my Audi and the team was excellent from start to finish. They were professional, honest, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The service was done quickly, the pricing was fair, and my car feels better than ever. It’s hard to find an auto shop you can truly trust, but they’ve definitely earned it. Highly recommend!”
“Matt and Jeremy were so awesome to deal with and made our experience very easy. I have purchased a vehicle from them and recommended them to my brother. He ended up purchasing a terrific vehicle and they made the process so easy. We highly recommend Exit 5 auto!!!!”

“Grand Premier was awesome! I was in my new RV traveling from Cape Cod, MA to Colorado and I kept losing air from a rear tire. I saw now visible tire damage and the valve stem seemed fine. After visiting 3 shops, Grand Premier was willing to look at my rig. They found my new custom wheel failed (cracked) and they put on my spare tire - not an easy task. They wouldn’t take any money and send me on my way to finish my trip. OMG, these guys were life savers! Thank you! ?”

“Meineke is an honest shop particularly Matt and Tom will show amd explain what is the issue. You will never go wrong if you entrust your car to them. Thank you rest of the crew.”
“Jeff (the owner), Ryan and team run an excellent operation. We got a reasonable estimate and the car was repaired and ready as promised and it looks great now. Some of the software needed to be reprogrammed after which Jeff and Ryan brought it back to us. I’m really happy that we have them around the corner in Voorheesville! Thanks!”
“Amazing shop, very professional, very efficient, great experience!! Was able to make an accommodation last minute to get me in for appointment. Trustworthy, reliable and make you feel like you're in great hands.”

“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. :)”
“Jerry Lawton is hands-down the best mechanic around. Honest, reliable, and always fair. His son Cole is part of the business too, and together they make an incredible team. They get the job done right every time. Highly recommend!”
“These guys are amazing! They are so helpful and gave me a great deal both times I have been here. I will definitely come here with all my car business and I suggest others do the same!!”
“I had a great experience with purchasing my 2025 Pathfinder at Lia Nissan. It was easy and effortless getting through the process thanks to John and Mike. After a month of ownership, could not be more content with my new car. I recommend this dealership. They don't scratch (swirling) the paint on their cars like other dealerships when they wash them.”
“Absolutely great work. Brought my parts and they had the job done about an hour or so after I dropped it off. By far the cheapest shop time I've spent for but the quality of the work was, IMO, money well spent. Now my car no longer sounds like a clapped out honda going full tilt at 3am. So thank you for that guys. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this lil hole in the wall shop”
“Okay ive been stuck in albany/ Schenectady for about 3weeks an mannn this was a process UNTIL I GOT TO THIS MAVIS. Mind you ive went to previous shops while being up here an nobody could take out this 1 lug nut. But when I got here it was professional the moment I got in. Chris was who I spoke to an he got me into the shop asap on top of that he got the lug nut out within 10 minutes. Emmy also was helpful because all the shops prior could not take out the lug nut so this shop seemed really confident an that helped alot. West cool dude he changed my tire with no problem an I can't be more then happy. Im not from albany im from queens ny so im far from home but anytime I mean anytime I come up here ill be coming to this mavis everytime for my car. Again thanks you guys”
“Frank and Sons Body Shop exceeded my expectations! The repair work was flawless, the staff was professional and courteous, and they had my car ready on time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for body work. Highly recommend!”
“A Super Shout Out to McGovern Auto for outstanding service and sales for my Volvos! When my 2013 XC90 broke down in Manhattan my service rep Megan Thiessen helped me figure out how to get it home to McGovern and then make the repair decision.
Selina Dutcher in sales took over emailing me available replacement cars before we met, making my new car choice easy. Once I selected my 2024 XC40 Selina was super attentive to all details of the sale-answering questions-advocating for the best price and trade in-arranging my pick up with careful instructions, a thoughtful gift and follow up class! I love my XC 40 and look forward to finding out its wonderful features.
Thank You Selina- Megan -and McGovern!
You are THE BEST”

“From the moment I called they were very helpful and sincere. I could tell they were an honest place to do business with. Thank you for the additional help they gave me at no cost just honest feedback and suggestions”
“Discovered I had a flat tire while at work. Jordan at Central Ave location in Colonie was able to get me on the schedule that day and worked with me to get tires that fit my budget. He was the perfect blend of professionalism and humor, making me feel a little bit better about the bill that was coming my way. I’ll be coming back here because of Jordan.”
“Was in the area and my sensors and lights were coming on and off, stopped by and the gentleman was explaining everything while conducting an initial diagnostic, it was one sensor that had to be replaced and he was efficient and quick. Thank you”
“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.”
“I bought a new Bimmer from a Ford dealership.. It needed some things so I came to Keeler and no questions Nick my service advisor treated me with respect and kindness. He explained my coverage and is addressing the issues. Moreover he's been keeping me abreast every step of the way. Which is more than I can say for other service teams who charge you without consent,confuse you and often obfuscate the truth. People under value updates. Most people will wait all day for service provided they keep you informed. Nick Yocono is one the best and a great example to follow!”

“At first, buying from a distance was a little stressful, but this dealership made it easy. There were no secrets: clear inspection reports, honest communication, and quick delivery. very highly recommended”

“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.”
“Have only had an oil change here, but they seem honest and do not try to sell unneeded things. Will be my to go car place from now on.
The Firestone told me all 4 of my rotors needed to be replaced despite having no significant rust and lots of pad left (and I repalced them within the last 2 years). McGregor confirmed my brakes were fine.”
“I started going here in 2019 when I moved into the area from Montgomery County. My father had recommended them as he had used them for years. In the 5 years since they have been nothing but amazing, and would highly recommend them to anyone in the area.”

“Hands down best car repair shop around! My daughter moved to Albany a year ago and I am so happy we found Lombardo's. Larry is always kind, helpful, and gets repairs done fast and honestly. I strongly recommend them!”
“They take pride in their work and are craftsmen. Always open, honest and up-front. I have used them several times for complex work needed on my convertible.
When something was not perfect with a recent repair, they not only took the time after all payments were made to diagnose and rectify it but asked that I come back in a few weeks
so that they could confirm that it was all permanently fixed.
A pleasure to work with. Quality and kindness never go out of style. Thank you Walters.”
“Excellent experience!! Made appointment for May 21st at 9:30 online, the manager Phillip Griffin was pleasant and oil change & tire rotation were finished in an hour!! Very pleased with service and pricing!! Will use this location for future services!!”
