I worked with a tech from this shop best in the game .Ask for rich if they cant find the problem no pay.

Very capable and honest auto repair business. Recommend! The owner, Derek, and his very talented staff have helped to keep my car on the road ever since I rolled into town about 2 years ago! My car has 226, miles on it!Derek will give a spot on diagnosis of whats wrong with the car. He doesnt overcharge. Great service.

Long overdue review. Found these guys from google and checked out their reviews. 5 stars for a reason. Brought a 94 del sol in and had them do a ton of work to it. I brought most of my own parts. I paid for brand new pads and rotors and Derek told me the ones in the car were basically still new. What mechanic would NOT take your money? Very honest!!Highly recommended.My ONLY complaint as others mentioned would be calling and getting someone to pick up. Either leave a VM, or I recommend just driving to them and scheduling an appointment.Either way SOLID work and knowledgeable. A+

Love, love my mechanic. Reasonably priced. Great customer service. 5 star auto shop.

Technically proficient - you bet! Very fair pricing - sure. But relaxed, flexible, generous, friendly, personable - even more so. Derek and team are great.

AWESOME3rd time I went there for help and theyve never let me down.As single female I always feel like im getting ripped off, not here! You may have to wait for an appointment, but well worth it. These mechanics are Professional, experienced. They KNOW what theyre doing. 😊😸

I have been taking my cars to Derek - the owner - for more than 15 years. Derek is an excellent mechanic, always reasonably priced, courteous and accommodating. There is a reason I have hus phone number listed in my phone under Derek the Good!

Great work, fair and transparent pricing, awesome customer service.

The best garage in Albany, hands down! You may have to wait a week to get an appointment but that is most likely because they are always honest, reliable, skilled and do excellent work. You cant go wrong with these guys and I would recommend them to anyone.

Trustworthy and good mechanics. Only downside is they can be pretty busy and dont always answer calls. Sometimes best to just go in to make an appointment. Otherwise very nice and reputable.Would definitely recommend over any other spot in the area.

Derek and the guys in his shop are awesome and I’ll only be bringing my car to them from now on. Dropped my car off for an inspection and it was done within 45 minutes. Quick, professional and reliable work!

O2 sensor replaced. No problems, would go again. June 2020 update, still all good. May 2021 update: going back again (doing a lot of miles), if there is an open spot.

Quick, painless, and cost efficient.Took my car here for the first time a couple days ago and had a great experience. I knew I needed to get my brakes done so I took it here because it’s around the corner from my house. I called Wednesday night, they told me to bring it in Thursday morning and it was ready for pick up by 2 o’clock. I told them that I’m currently on a tight budget and they worked with me to make it affordable.

Best in town. Make them your go-to mechanics and you wont be disappointed

If there were 10 + stars to choose from to rate Capital Tech Auto Repairs, I wouldve chosen them all.We have had a pretty cold winter thus far and for the first time ever, my 2001 Pontiac Grand Am decided, Im not going to blow heat during this frigid season, instead, I will blow freezing air coupled with frozen crystals towards your way. : ( Lets just say, driving in this freezing weather without heat was one of the worst experiences Ive had.My mission to find top auto repair shops in Albany began. In just seconds, Google showed me Capital Tech Auto Repairs, and I was absolutely surprised at how close to my place of employment, this little hidden diamond of a shop was located.I read every review, which highly rated this auto shop and I became very hopeful.I have used other auto repair shops; however, from the moment Jaime answered the telephone, and as busy as they were (per the reviews) took time to talk with me and then said, Bring the car in, I knew this wasnt just a business.Im sure there are many good mechanics out there, but it isnt just repairing your vehicle that is important, it is being honest, fair, and most importantly, treating customers with the respect we all deserve.Derek, the owner, wears a genuine smile constantly and goes above and beyond what is expected, which is what makes this little hidden gem, the best in their business there is.My Pontiac is repaired and once again, I am warm. The cost was absolutely fair. Maybe my loyal vehicle decided to become stubborn so that I would find this amazing auto repair shop, which I will use in the future and refer to many. Sometimes in life we need to realize that there are good and honest people in this tough business.Thank you loyal reviewers and of course every one at Capital Tech Auto Repairs!

I had two cars serviced in this place for the past 5-6 years. They always done good work except for the last time I was there,Prior to taking my car there for inspection the remote to the car alarm was not working properly. I had to disarm the alarm manually with the alarm switch located under the dashboard by fuse box.The car failed inspection the last time I brought it there, but it wasnt in my budget to have it fixed at the time. I drove the car home and parked it in my driveway for two months. I finally had funds to get it fix but I needed to jump start the car to bring it back for repairs. While doing so the alarm activated, I tried to disarm the car with the alarm switch but the switch was not there. It was completely gone, someone had removed it and used electrical tape to cover the wires. Furthermore, I noticed couple of loose screws on the bottom portion of the dashboard which is an indication that it was removed and the lever to the hood was disconnected as well. I asked Derek if anyone there had done this to the car but he said no. That is hard to believe because Capital Tech Auto was the last place I took my car. I will never do business with this place anymore.

My friend complained about how they charged $500 for things my friend did not ask to fix. I thought these guys were trust worthy. And still went there. However, they did the same thing to me now.These guys have horrible attitude, instead of apologizing for their mistake they say that its not much money worth discussing before changing parts. Well, they did same thing to my friend who paid $500+. And their another excuse is they are busy to let us know the problems. I wonder why are they not busy when charging us!?They told if I did not like how they work I should not visit them again. Of course I am not visiting them again. But that is not a way to talk to a customer.They are not worth your buck!

These guys are the best. I took my car to Monroe Brake and Tire. After a $600 brake job my brake pedal was no longer working correctly. I fixed it temporarily, but the guys at Capital Tech auto figured out that it was a problem with the pedal / brake line. Were able to repair for only $266 Honest mechanics are hard to find, but Im happy to have found these guys. Ive always been happy with their work and they are extremely fast and professional.

Quality work, great price, top notch mechanics. I highly recommend this garage for any vehicle repairs or modifications you may need. They installed a 6” lift kit on my f150 and it turned out amazing.

I walked to the location and found out that the wait would be over two and a half weeks before they could actually just look at it. I usually use this auto shop for all repairs and am happy with the price and the work but I couldnt wait two and a half weeks so I brought it to Harbecks Auto on Broadway. The car is running better than ever.

Best staff. They don’t rip you off. I would recommend to everyone

Derrick is hands down the nicest guy on the planet. He has taken a look at my car for free I dont know how many times. Whenever I have had work done, the pricing has always been super fair and on time. Especially as a woman, I have never felt like he would lie or take advantage of me. He really is the best.

This is hands-down the best repair shop that Ive been to. They have quality technicians and their prices are more than reasonable. I recommend this repair facility anybody who owns a car weather foreign, American, European doesnt matter they fix it all.

Great mechanic. Most honest one I know. An extremely reasonable prices. How the recommend!

Derek, the owner, is the most honest, hardworking auto mechanic and car expert Ive ever met. If you want straight talk and reasonable pricing go to this auto shop!

Very knowledgable and reasonable. Great experience.

I mostly had good experience with this shop in the past. But last week I dropped my car there, I wanted to talk to them but they were too busy. They called me a week later saying my car is fixed. I went to the shop and it was $500. No phone call before this, didnt ask me if I am OK with the price. I feel really weird about this whole experience.Given the trust I still have in them, I left my car there for oil change and inspection. Then their service was good. I understand they are super busy, but would still appreciate it more if they can let me know what was wrong before fixing it like what they did before.

This is the best shop I have ever been to. I moved to Albany six years ago and only recently bought a car. When the check engine light came on, I was really nervous about finding an auto mechanic. Im glad I found Capitol Auto Repair. Derek listened to the problem I was having with the car and was able to clearly explain what was going on. I brought my car in in the morning, and had it back by the afternoon. Great service. Definitely a place you can trust. So glad that I found them!

This is a great place to bring your car! I have a Mercedes and this was less than half of what keeler told me it would cost to fix my car. Derek is the best - they are so helpful. They actually sit down and explain to you what is going on with you car and what are needs and what can wait. They think about safety first - These guys are honest & have amazing costumer service. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Excellent service and quality results. I have taken my car here twice. The first time they were able to fit me in urgently when something went wrong prior to a long trip.The second time, when something was wrong with my brakes, I took my car to a brake specialist garage. They tried to use scare tactics to upsell a bunch of things I did not need, but that sounded concerning. I’m glad I held off and took my car to Capital Tech. They explained what was going on and made only the actually necessary repairs instead of trying to replace additional things to raise the cost.

Best independent in Albany. Fair, honest, and good.

I dont typically rate places I do business with, but in this case I will make an exception. I saw one reviewer here who clearly doesnt know anything about cars who gave this shop a poor review. He couldnt be more wrong. To describe Capital Tech as anything but exemplary is to show you have no idea what you are talking about. This is the diamond in the rough mechanic you have been searching for. Derek is fast, reasonable, and most importantly, HONEST. He will tell you what is wrong with your car, and depending on the age and your willingness to invest in it, give you a menu of options to fix it,and work with you on price. I wouldnt take my car to anyone else, and neither should you.

Great, professional service! They repaired my rear suspension at a reasonable price and had my car back, in time, for lunch. Highly recommended!

Been here a few times now with both my cars. Derek and the guys at capital tech auto are one of the best mechanics I have ever experienced. Completely honest, friendly and accommodating.

The best techs in the area. very reasonable prices

Excellent service! I brought my car in when they opened and they had it ready for me the same day! Great prices and all around friendly staff!

If youre looking for a garage in Albany, give Derek at Capital Tech a call. Nobody Ive worked with in the past has been as straightforward, prompt, and genuinely customer-oriented as he has. Wholeheartedly recommend this business.

Honest Great Customer Attention and Derrick is #1 asWell as the Staff Check Them Out

Derek is the best mechanic I have ever had. This place had the cheapest quote for the brakes that I needed for my car, and I checked 5 or 6 different places. Whole staff is friendly professional, and just downright AWESOME!

This place is probably fine for a oil change or something but definitely avoid if you have anything seriously wrong with your car. My vehicle was in a pretty bad accident and honestly i dont know a lot about cars but i knew something was wrong despite this place saying there wasnt. Im not sure what the problem was really since i was covered 100% by insurance.In hindsight the only reason i trusted this place was because of these reviews in the end i had to take it to Armory Garage.

I have had excellent service for many years here. My history includes four cars. Capital Tech is reliable, the owner is very honest, courteous and knowledgeable.

When I asked basic questions about what their pre purchase car inspection would include, and what they would recommend, I was told they were too busy to deal with this. Would never take my car there, especially if I was spending a lot of money on a repair and actually had questions about their services.

Great team here. Worked with me to figure out the gremlins in my Jeep Cherokee. Thanks Rich!

Best auto mechanic shop in Albany.

Honest mechanic who does good work. I recommend him to all my friends in the Albany area.

I take my car here all the time. Great Mechanics

Service that you can trust! Never a problem!

Great service is something we all need in a mechanic.

Top Notch Trusted Service Fair but most of All HONEST.

Been looking for a repair shop to have our car checked and based on the reviews ive had high hopes since there are lots of positive reviews for this shop. The owner is nice and professional i just find that a $100 is too much for checking the CEL, the battery light and the clicking sound while turning. I just didnt realize that i would spend that much just to have the car checked.

Go here. Not many places will do what Derek and his staff do with your car. Although I had a old Camry they put it back together for me. When I had a question about the engine light (old car) they asked me to bring it back in- no charge.

Love this place. Derek and crew are awesome!

The mechanic Richard is like a human Chilton manual. The guy knows exactly how to fix your vehicles problems fast.

Took me in last minute the day my temporary inspection expired. Best service ever

Friendly service and fast work. They repaired my brakes in less than a day

Fast, friendly and professional! Will definitely recommend this place to my friends.

Small shop nice guys very honest

An honest mechanic with fair prices.

Best repair shop in albany and reliable

Ive been bringing my cars here for 11 years, starting with a wiring problem no one else could solve and it is by far the best place Ive ever brought my cars for any kind of service or repair.

Honest, great work, reasonable prices.

Honest garage
