Adam and Justin have taken care of my cars for over 7 years. They are professional mechanics and have never steered me wrong. When I've had the misfortune of having had to take my cars to another garage, I brought my cars back to Bolt with the confidence that they would undo the careless work done by the other garage. Thanks Adam, Thanks Justin!

We were on vacation in the Hudson valley over Memorial Day weekend when our check engine light came on. Everyone was closed and we were worried we would be stranded with our dog in the area. We found Adam of Bolt Mechanics by chance and although he was not working on the Sunday before Memorial Day he gave us great advice and followed up with us a few times to make sure we made it home. He suggested we go to Auto Zone which would be open on the holidays and get a diagnostic error code of the engine malfunction. Then he asked us to text him the code. He explained to us that as long as the engine is not overheating based on the error we should be okay to keep driving the car until we had a chance to fix it. He even followed up with us to make sure everything was going well. He didn’t charge us and was just knowledgeable and nice enough to help a stranger out. Would def recommend him for anyone in the area looking for an honest shop.

AVOID-
picked up my friends car for her since she works full time. It started missing while driving in a heavy rainstorm and had to be towed.
She was describing what the shop said to her; ie: could be the transmission, doing compression checks, etc. blah, blah….
The final bill: 1,300 dollars….. cash….give me a break!
So an ignition coil failed. OK. Then WHY replace all four coils? And with AFTERMARKET parts at 2.5 times the actual OEM parts? Whatever.
When I picked up the car ALL the warning lights were on. Adam shrugged and said” I didn’t work on it”. That’s his answer? Really? It’s YOUR shop.
So now I had to drive 120 miles with unknown issues. Those warning lights should have been observed, the owner notified and issue rectified as part of this repair. Although in hindsight I am glad he didn’t as this simple repair would have likely been another thousand.
A local shop checked it out the next day. A bad ABS sensor in the wheel. His genius mechanic couldn’t find this? Didn’t look?
Took no responsibility
AVOID. overpriced, incompetent.

My 2002 4Runner's check engine light came on when driving upstate and it started to limp along. I take great care of this car but it does have 143,000 on it and things come up. Poughkeepsie is not my home so I could not go to my regular mechanic. I searched reviews and came across Bolt. I called and was immediately impressed with the professionalism of how they answered my questions so I made a same day appointment and went.
When I arrived, I was greeted and was impressed by the friendliness of the staff and the cleanliness of the garage. They got the car right in and diagnosed the problem. Two sensors were the issue under the manifold which was a complicated and labor intensive repair. While they had the manifold apart they found a few other items that needed attention that would have cost me far more to have to reopen the manifold later when the parts failed. I told them to take care of it all and they did.
The car was done in less than 24 hours and it is running better than ever. The repair was not inexpensive but very fair for what they did. They also guaranteed the work in writing and told me to contact them asap if anything came up. I would highly recommend the shop and Adam, Justin and their crew were tremendous.

Bolt in Poughkeepsie went above and beyond helping us with car trouble! My son is a student at Marist and a tire blew out. Not knowing any auto shops up there, I Googled, read some great reviews, and called up Bolt and spoke to Adam. He was friendly and knowledgeable. They ordered replacements and when my son showed up they saw the actual wheel to the car was missing. When his tire blew out, someone else put spare on but left the wheel. It was a mess but Bolt offered to drive to the spot where he had the flat and find the missing wheel. Plus they even dropped my son off at school on the way! Great, caring service is so hard to find these day and we really appreciate all their help. Highly recommend!!!

My usual mechanic is booked solid for 2 weeks. But who can wait 2 weeks for your car to be repaired?! Used these guys once before for a small issue and remembered them again when my regular mechanic couldn't squeeze me it. Talk about a diamond in the rough. And by rough I just mean the neighborhood. Very honest and trustworthy guys. There's no shadyness or feeling like you're getting taken for a ride. I trust what he tells me and the price is fair. And they always take my car right away! Although it probably won't stay that way for long if I keep running my mouth like this on Google. I might have found a new usual mechanic.

High marks to Bolt Mechanics! They are the holy grail of great and honest service. Adam and Justin went out of their way to help me out when my car broke on a Sunday. They were not only expeditious and diligent in their service but also were very clear with their explanations and recommendations. I am not from the area so I had to keep my car there. Working with them remotely was not even an issue. They were also super accommodating in keeping my car safe until I was able to pick it up. Thanks guys!Service: General repairs & maintenance
