Albany Auto Repair

Excellent customer service and the staff I interacted with were polite from the moment I walked in. I feel that the cost to repair my car was very fair, and I appreciated the use of the loaner car. I would recommend Crabtree to anyone!

Thank you Holly!

Unfortunately after years of taking our car here, we won't be back. After our most recent costly repair and a bill of $1,234.75 my husband and I sat down and looked over all of our bills from years past to see the work we have had done at Crabtree Auto repair and make a timeline. Our first visit with Crabtree in July 2012 was to replace the timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, thermostat and cooling system we expected the hefty bill of over $700 for that. What we didn't expect was that it was going to be one of many costly visits to come. Less than 2 years later in May 2014 we went back due to the same issue and again replaced the timing belt and serpentine belt after only 11,000 miles on those belts. Again we were met with a hefty bill of $457. I would expect more than 11,000 miles before having to replace all the belts for the second time in less than 2 years. Between July 2012 and May 2014 we spent $1,947.66 in repairs and $1,175 was replacing the same belts TWICE! That brings me to September 4, 2014 we had double platinum spark plugs, new wire set and a fuel filter placed and was told that our brakes were good at 80%. March 2016 we took it in for an oil change and were told brakes were at 80% still. One year and 9 months later on December 2017 we were told the brakes were so bad they were damaging the rotors. On that day 12/6/17 we had brakes, rotors, front caliper, brake pads, brake fluid and new starter done by crabtree. After spending $1,235 for those services we were told all else was well with the car. 2 weeks later our car stopped working completely. My husband got stranded. The Spark plugs they put in 3 years prior were completely shot! Only 30,000 miles later! Quality platinum spark plugs and wire set should last on average 100k miles! We had to have our car towed to the Toyota dealership where they again replaced the spark plugs and cord set. They told us that the wireset that Crabtree put in was after market and of poor quality. Don't you think Crabtree would have noticed that the spark plugs were shot during their inspection just 2 weeks prior? So after spending over $4,000 ( more than our car is worth) and having something go wrong with our car (multiple times) days to weeks after we have sent it to Crabtree to have yet another costly repair... We are done taking our car here. I really feel taken advantage of and wanted to share our story with others.

The windshield motor on our Buick went out and drained all the fluid on the garage floor. Crabtree scheduled the repair job for Friday. They were kind enough to bring my husband home and pick him up again after the repairs were completed. The repair bill was very reasonable. The crew is very polite and informative.

Thank you Beverley. We greatly appreciate the review.

First time I had to take my car in for service since moving from California. Trusting someone new that will honestly give you the low down on what the problem is is rare. At Crabtree Automotive they knew what I was bringing in the car for, which means they paid attention. Awesome friendly staff. They kept me informed every step of the way and explaining it so I could make an informed decision. I am beyond satisfied with my choice in choosing Crabtree Automotive. On top of it all, since I live in Albany they even brought my car to me, very helpful since I homeschool my youngest. I will definitely bring my other two cars to Crabtree Auto if I have any other car problems or concerns.

Jody you just made our day! This is how we want everyone to feel after bringing their car to us.

Great customer service, always appreciate Justin and Matt's friendly and insightful diagnosis of any car issues. Extremely fair value and appreciate the extra mile Crabtree goes to make we're their number 1 priority. Family friendly car mechanics like this are hard to find, I'd vouch for them any day of the week.

Keith that is exactly how we want everyone to feel when they come to us. Thank you for taking the time to give us your review.

Needed repairs were throughly explained in advance and quote was given. Final cost was lower than expected and the gift bag was a nice touch. Thank you!

Had my first visit to Crabtree Automotive yesterday, and they were so kind and helpful. Did a complete check over of my vehicle, gave me some suggestions on future things to take care of, and fixed my heater and changed the oil! Now I have heat in my pickup!!!! YEAH! The young man that gave me rides to and from the repair shop was a real Gentleman! Opened doors for me and just over all a nice young man! Was very pleased with everyone and the service I received.

I am so excited to hear this! Thank you so much Kay for your review.
