Empire Auto Garage - Albany (NY)

David Wood Ran into an emergency situation 100 miles from home. They were responsive and efficient and were able to get me back on the road in a manner of 2 hours. Great services for a fair price.

sam family owned business that is very fairly priced and dependable. they always fit me in for my car troubles quickly (the next week at the latest) and explain to me what is wrong with my car. for any younger women/people unfamiliar with cars; this is a shop that i feel cares about getting your vehicle fixed safely, and for a reasonable price.

Hanan Tahir Really helpful and great people, had a great experience. My car needed the rear brake line replaced everything was done on time and exceptionally well. They communicated along the entire process. Definitely will come here for all my mechanical needs. Recommend them to everyone.

Travis Nagy We blew a tire (couldn’t avoid a large piece of metal laying on 787) while traveling through the area on a Saturday evening. After we were turned away from a Firestone (it was very close to closing) these guys got a new tire on our car and saved our vacation. They assessed the damage to our rim and were honest about needed repairs. While the tire was being changed out, they showed me the condition of my rear pads and rotors and gave me options for repair (instead of telling me I needed the most expensive, time consuming thing done to the car). In addition to the new tire, I got new pads on the back brakes. All of this was done inside an hour of their scheduled closing on a Saturday night. I know their guys were wanting to go home, but they took care of us and dealt with us with integrity and honesty that is so hard to come by with mechanics. I’d trust them again with my car in a heartbeat.

tallboycan A mechanic that is trustworthy and is not trying to rip you off is worth their weight in gold. Rayno is this type of place. Thanks Clint, KT and crew!

KIm Vining Ray was able to accommodate our 57 Chevy for a last minute appointment. Thanks so much for squeezing us in.

Kelly J Vinces Garage is family owned business where they are knowledgeable, fair, and honest. Prices are very reasonable and they always do a great job. Highly recommend!

Garry Ero I have been here for many different things over the many years I have been going to Jerry. Jerry is honest, good, fast and not expensive. In this industry you can’t get all 4. Jerry is the real deal we need more small, independent, honest mechanics in the area. Well Done Jerry. Well Done.

COFFEEHOT6 This was the BEST customer service I have ever felt from the father and son duo! Hands down. They helped my daughter with her car when other shops wouldnt even touch it. I want to give you a big shout out and hope you gain more customers. Youre the best.

A W I highly recommend Lawtons over any other mechanic in the area. Jerry and his team are always super upfront and honest about repairs/cost and take the time to explain and answer questions simply. They operate in a transparent and ethical way and are the most considerate and professional auto shop Ive ever dealt with. Thank you to everyone at Lawtons!
