Very grateful to Jay and all of of Central Garage for coming out in the rain on Father's Day weekend when the Horse Show was also in town to tow my Subaru. They went to a lot of trouble getting the right replacement part and performed an expert repair at a fair price. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

During a recent trip to Saranac Lake, our 2022 Rockwood camper axle unexpectedly broke, leaving us…read morestranded and unsure where to turn. A DEC officer kindly pointed us toward nearby repair options, as we weren't familiar with any local mechanics. By grace, Madden's Garage was just one minute away. Despite being extremely busy, the team at Madden's Garage was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely accommodating. Mr. Madden went above and beyond--allowing us to keep our disabled camper on his property while a replacement axle was shipped all the way from the Rockwood plant in Indiana. Once the part arrived, the repairs were completed quickly and at a more-than-reasonable cost. We were never charged a storage fee, and every interaction was marked by professionalism and kindness. Madden's Garage turned a stressful situation into a reminder of how generous and supportive people can be. We are grateful for their help. Cheers to Madden's Garage from Leta L.

Took a trip here with Clarkson University's car club and spent most of the day there, and it was just a blast; really great, positive atmosphere. Also a very knowledgeable and honest staff, I highly recommend going here for any tuning needs you have. It doesn't get better than a garage with smart AND honest workers. They don't care if you drive a Civic (like I do) or a WRX or a Prius. They'll make sure everybody is happy at the end of the day. Like I said, they're just there to have a good time and honestly just want to make your care more enjoyable for you. They really get it, and just understand that every car can be loved in different ways.

Smoke billowing from under the hood and heat sensors spiking. YIKES!! Marc Counter (Owner) took me as a drive-in, (and trust me, vintage Jags arent their usual car.) He was friendly, professional and just a regular local guy, who wants to get you back on the road. (He even invited me to have some chicken wings! lol) He was highly recommended by a few locals, and within a few hours, he had the parts delivered on-site and a decent price, he replaced some radiator tubes, flushed/replaced all the coolant and I was on my way again. Hopefully wont need them again.... but if i do.. i know where im going.
