yeah, thanks but I'm in Albany - too often with A1's distance is a detriment... if it's already busted...

There is the bavarian Rocket Scientist on tivoli. Hackels on Central. Everyone on here has an opinion about shops. this is my .02 good luck. |

what are you looking to have done? right now all I need is to have my trunk lid catch fixed ( paid for that once already and it still don't shut! ) plus I need my trunk floor shored up - it has a rift forming along the seam right in front of the spare well. But mainly I am looking for a place to take the Jetta and the SuperBee for routine stuff like inspection and repairs when they come up. I go no place to work on my own stuff any more ( almost got hit by the BUS last time!) so I'm looking for a "home" where they know me and my ponies..... dunno. That was the kind of place we ran when I was in Dutchess county, guess it jaded me... |

I'm strictly stock ( although I'm lookin to beef up the exhaust. I like NOISE!) |

I'm not exactly sure how you had had bad luck with the Autobahn Centre, They do great work, in a timely fashion, and will always back up there work, plus, if you bring your car there, i will probably be working on it...sorry, had to throw in a little support for my new job.

Mary- Autobahn centre is good, and has a decent reputation. but you pay for what you get. $$$  If you can make it to Altamont: Ron's service center is right in town and is good with all makes/models. He's a good customer of my dad and has taken care of a few things for me and some of my non-carminded friends. I think you would get the 'small town garage feel' that you're looking for there. If the catch is giving you a hard time, i wouldn't mind taking a look at it- maybe i'll come up with something. don't bother paying $65+/hr for something silly. I'm only a couple blocks away. send me an email and i'll give you my number. AnthonyJ124@gmail.com |

yeah, i knew what you were getting at. Greg (the owner of autobahn) is fair, and will set you up with good prices, and labor, again, like anthony side, you get what you pay for, but once you have been to the shop once, we all remember who you are and what you drive, and keep a good eye on the car for you....anyways, i work monday thru friday, so if you want to stop in, i'll take a look at it and see what needs doin.
