USELESS! I just called to get an estimate on a 2011 Ford Fiesta TIMING BELT change and the women on the other line told me I had to bring it in! I proceed to drive there and call her from the parking lot to say Im here, in your parking lot, can I get an estimate now? She wanted me to LEAVE THE CAR! I can understand if it was a job that required a mechanic to look at what was wrong with the car but I wasnt asking to DIAGNOSE a problem! Waste of time, and its too bad since they have a lot of great reviews!
I recently moved to the Albany area from WNY. As a single female, taking your car to a mechanic is always nerve-racking. How much are they going to take advantage of my wallet this time....Steve and his crew took care of me and my Jeep when my engine light mysteriously popped on and my car was having trouble accelerating. His crew was honest and made sure I was aware of everything before making the decision to get the work done. The price was incredibly fair. I will absolutely be coming back to Steve’s in the future and I would recommend anyone else to do the same!
I have a 2008 Honda Odyssey that needed a timing belt replacement. Liked the reviews for Ayers and called for a quote. The quote was very reasonable and the work was superb. Steve is very trustworthy and takes care of any issues or concerns that the customer might have. I had the tries replaced and while driving home, the TPMS light came on. Brought the van back the next morning and Steve repaired the issue with the TPMS system that afternoon. I highly recommend Ayers Automotive for all of your repairs. It is comforting to find a trustworthy and highly competent automotive repair shop. You will not be disappointed.
I brought my car to Steve Ayers for a routine inspection, and he charged me $22 bucks labor for a $2.50 light bulb... That he didnt even change. I had changed the bulb myself 3 days prior. English is not my first language, so maybe it was my accent that made him think I would not notice. It would be one thing if he actually changed the bulb, but what bulb warrants 22 dollars labor? It took me 2 minutes. If I could post a picture of my bill, I would. I would not go to Ayers Automotive again if he was the last body shop on the planet. I am so shocked to see he has a 4.7 star rating, he must not get many immigrants. Imagine what hed have charged me if I wanted a big job done.
This is my new go-to shop. Theyre busy for a good reason! Great prices and once your car is on the lift they get it done quick... When a shop treats people honestly they build a great reputation and no longer need to nickle and dime their customers. Thank you Ayers !!!
Staff did a great job! Thank you so much for fixing our box truck even after hours. We really appreciate your professional help and quick service. Perfect customer service. Steve was very friendly and explained everything to me. I would definitely recommend this business!
I took my wife’s 2013 Toyota Prius in for an inspection and it has two license plate lights, but one was blown. I have been charged $5.00 from another garage before. So I thought this won’t be so bad. They said the light bulb was a $1 and they charged me 0.2 of an hour to put it in, which was $21.00. I watched the guy do it, it was 3 minutes at the most pop the cover off of the back door pull the bulb out and put the new one in.The total bill was $45.21 for an NYS inspection and to change a light. I questioned the owner about it, he said he could discount it, but did not. I paid $45.21.I know I will never go back to this garage. I was hoping to have a nice trustworthy garage, that isn’t going to take advantage of you.
Ive been coming to gr auto for years while george and galina owned and I absolutely loved them..then i came one day and they were gone..i was skeptical at first with the new owner but they do great work..friendly..fast..and fair.2/12/19 Took my car in today for a tune up. And as usual the work was done effectively and efficiently with great care. Wasnt to hard on the pocket but good quality work done on your car is priceless. I will continue to do business here and let anyone know that this is a great shop.
Me and my wife are new in town. When my car started leaking antifreeze i went online an found that Steve had great reviews. I brought my car over and Steve found the problem and fixed it quick and at a decent price. I will be bringing all my vehicles to him in the future.
I walked into this place, first thing in the morning, to inquire about where my old mechanic, who used to be across the street, went. Steve said they closed more than three years ago, which left me with a leaking radiator down the block, and no trusted mechanic. He said they were just getting ready to start the day, and bring it into the bay to get looked at. 10 minutes later I was given a diagnosis, and a quote. When I asked the time frame for the repair, expecting a day or two, I was told early afternoon. In fact, I got called at 1:30 saying it was done. This shop is wonderful. Maybe this isn’t typical, being brought in ASAP and such, and that’s okay. I’m happy with the work, and the staff and will be using this shop for all my future repair work.
Was driving through from outta town when my clutch blew. Steve set me up and had me on my way in no time at a reasonable price. I definitely recommend if you ever have car trouble in the Albany area. They take Amex too.
Thank you for the quick service and new PS Pump!
My friend got a flat tire on our way to Delmar from Glenmont and in our search for a close gas station, auto repair, we ended up at GR and Chris came to take a look. He checked w/his boss - Steve Ayers (owner) who came out and changed my friends flat tire for free. That was so unexpected and I just want to add my friend said she would start using them for repairs on her car now. Thank you Steve
I am so impressed with this garage, they were able to take my daughters car immediately and what we expected to be a huge transmission issue, turned out to be an affordable fix. Car is ready same day. Professional, referred us a great tow (Bleaus), timely, HONEST, and fast. I will recommend you highly to others. Thank you! Kathy Durivage
Beware this shop is under new management now. They charged me more than $300 to replace a battery. 142.95 for the battery, $105 to check the cars charging system (!), 31.50 for the labor, plus tax. Avoid these guys. Even if they were honest their labor cost is $105 per hour, which is way out of line for the area.
Each time I find myself landing at the garage again, I end up relieved. It wasnt so bad after all. The prices are fair. The staff is courteous. The owner invests his personal time and care into this shop, and it shows.
Ok, folks.. the new boss is making this place better than before. A no-nonsense type deal. Quality parts cost more, and he uses them, instead of the cheap Chinese garbage that costs pennies and makes a ton more profit, but has you back again inside a month. Want have a one and done repair on your vehicle? Go here!
They have worked on both our vehicles. Great work, reasonable prices and excellent customer service. We highly recommend them, we wouldnt take our vehicles anywhere else.
I took a used car to this garage to get an offer. The mechanic looked it over and made an offer which seemed very generous to me, but I repeated the figure and he confirmed it. I asked if the offer would still be good in a few days when I was ready to sell the car, and he said it would be. When I brought the car back a week later, though, he quoted me a price which was hundreds of dollars lower than the one he had said - and confirmed - before. (To be clear, the new price was more in the range of what I had expected him to pay anyway, but the incident made me suspicious.)If you decide to go to these guys, make sure you get offers in writing, with a signature. It will protect you, and give you something more to go on than, thats not what we agreed on last time I was here.
These guys are one of a kind. I dropped my suv off on thurs morn to get a weeks worth of work done I thought. Done by Friday morn. Deffinatly recommend Ayers. Thanks guys

Had a nagging intermittent problem with a car not starting; they got us in early on a Monday, got it diagnosed and fixed in a hurry. Very impressed.
I was so happy when Steve took over; fair pricing with work done in a timely manner and done correctly or they make it right

2021-11-03The guys at Ayers Automotive are great! Was in town on a work trip and our Suburban wasnt starting. They worked us in to their schedule, even though they were already busy, and had the repairs done the next morning. Highly recommend!

2020-11-03Ive been taking my cars to Steve and the team at Ayers Automotive for maybe 2 years now. Ive found them to be friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I also think it means something that Steve (the owner) is basically always there. You can tell he really takes pride in and enjoys his business.I think their prices are in line with what you see in this area; around $100/hr labor rate. They seem to always be able to get my car(s) in and out quickly; and the location is super convenient. Its right off the rail trail so I like to drop off my car and walk or bike home.Recently I took a new to me (used) car there and I asked Steve to let me know if there was any work/maintenance/repair that he would recommend even if it wasnt required for inspection. Do you know what he recommended? NOTHING! He said the car was in great shape and didnt recommend anything. Wow. He could have sold me on something I didnt really need, but instead he was just totally honest with me. Its hard to put a price on that.Ive had them do brakes, new starter, inspections, replace tires etc.I would highly recommend Ayers Automotive to anyone in the area, or passing through that needs a trustworthy shop they can rely on. Especially given the convenient location, I cant imagine taking my car anywhere else.

2020-08-21Worked with Steve here, these guys are awesome! They gave a fair price, turned the car around much faster than I thought they would. Most important they were honest and communicated the options well. Highly recommend Ayers for anyone needing car service!

2021-04-20Great experience, honest value. They had a tall bay and lift to accommodate my high roof Mercedes Benz 4wd Sprinter. Was in for a quick maintenence that Mercedes Benz would have charged $150 for and they got the job done just as well and faster for less than $50, need I say more? Good show!

2021-04-27I’m not one to normally leave reviews but this shop made the exception. This shop is beyond wonderful! I have a 05 Acura rsx that i have taken to other shops in the past. With bad luck at every other shop, when my car broke down and had to be towed I decided I would try ayers that is conveniently half a mile from my house. They got to my car very quickly and was beyond helpful and thorough! Not only did they find and fix the main problem but was able to fix other problems that other shops couldn’t. All of the people that work there are very helpful, reasonable and friendly. I can’t say enough about this shop! Definitely will be my go to shop from now on!!

2020-11-23After bringing our car to different commercial mechanics and having horrible experiences, we were so pleased to finally find a permanent family mechanic to help us with all our cars needs. Ayers is super efficient and gets all the work done in great time, not to mention they are all super friendly and all services are fairly priced! We will not be bringing our car anywhere else but Ayers!!!
