This shop is the reincarnation of a decades old high quality neighborhood auto repair shop that…read moreoffered truly good work at reasonable prices. After being bought out when the owner retired, it would be natural to wonder what the new ownership would bring. The answer is an even better version that still kept the core competence and courtesy of the former owner's operation. Al is still there with more experience in repair than can be imagined; he did great work a while back on my '78 Eldorado and has always had an expert eye and a friendly honest manner. The waiting room has been completely revamped; the parking lot relined and reorganized. Phones are answered promptly; receipts and workorders have been revamped and upgraded. The new owner is friendly and very accommodating. I recently had an inspection due and he worked with me to fit it in around my schedule. Last year I had a 20 some year old Cadillac that was overheating, and there was some question about head gaskets vs. anything else. I brought it in and got an answer the very next day - head gaskets. No guessing, no "well maybe it's . . . . ". Xpert did a chemical test of the coolant, discovered the presence of hydrocarbons, , a 100% accurate indicator of a bad head gasket. There was no attempt to sell me one of the numerous "mechanic in a can, just add to the coolant" products that never work, and I was told very honestly that it would be a job with a repair bill about equal to the value of the car. Flat out honest advice delivered with respect and professionalism. That testing and evaluation cost me a mere $50, well worth it for the certainty it provided as to my path forward. At this point I cannot imagine a reason why I would bring my cars anywhere else for service.

After calling several shops, I finally found the Hi-Test garage and spoke with Oz who was able to fit me in on the same day! What a relief. He even accommodated me when I was 15 minutes late due to my class running overtime. Oz was AWESOME and performed a quick yet totally thorough inspection in less than an hour. He even gave me some very useful car tips and fixed the light in my car graciously. I was very impressed by his knowledge and honesty. For someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about cars, all of this information and advice that was given to me was greatly appreciated. I will be going back to Hi-Test Garage every year to get my inspection completed and will be recommending Hi-Test Garage to anyone who needs some car stuff done. Thanks, Oz!

This is my first visit. The location is conveniently right off of the highway. The signage is…read moreexcellent. I was immediately able to locate the Ford sign from a mile away. When I turned onto the road to enter Ford there was ample signage for the service area. I knew exactly which direction to turn into to enter service, where to park and there was also a service sign with enter here directly over the service entrance area. This is always helpful when this is your first visit. They immediately served me and entered my information and I signed up for shuttle service, but because I arrived so early. They said they could have my car serviced early so I could drive myself. I said great, I'll wait. 15 minutes before they promised to have the car done the service rep came and told me they were done with one finding and if I opted to have that service they would still have me done on time. Well, unfortunately, my car wasn't done on time and when I went to the service rep he apologized and said there was no charge for the service that day. I truly appreciated that they stand by their word. They also have a coffee service which I totally appreciate as a cup of joe in the morning person. I'll definitely be back.

They will tell you things that need to be fixed that are not true, you may even come out with a problem that you did not have before, but now suddenly have, my guess is that they're on commission, and makes things up. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else do not give this dealership the opportunity to screw anyone else over. And if you put a complaint into corporate, it's never addressed. It is up to the dealership to contact you about your issue, and they just never ever call. They simply do not care.

I used to go to the dealers or chains like Midas or Monro for stuff but always felt I was being pushed to do more service for my car than what is really necessary. Guys at CDT, Bill, etc. have always treated myself and my lady friend right. Honest assessment of what really needs to be done, and a fair price. For example, couple years ago, oxygen sensor on my Miata went, (I know, I have a ODB II reader). Took it to the dealer... they diagnosed the problem correctly (not hard to do with a reader) charged me $99 for the diagnoses, but claimed (actually insisted) that the O2 sensor was fine. Left the dealership and a few miles later the check light came back on again. I wasn't going to go back again.. went to CDT, they figured out the problem, replaced the correct sensor, and it only too like $120 total. I had, over numerous years, had many repairs done at CDT and the fixes have so far all lasted (ie. when car breaks again a year or 2 later it is something completely unrelated). They don't do engine replacements, or exhaust work (at least not the catalytic converter on my car) or transmission work, but as far as I know they do all other types of engine repair, electrical work, etc. Smart guys that have really good experience and treat their customer like regular people. These are real mechanics. I do still go to Mavis for tires and exhaust work, and Jiffy Lube for oil changes, but for anything else (well, except for a very recent transmission work which they don't do) I go to CDT. I have sent friends to them as well.

My car couldn't be driven more than five miles. Thats when l stumbled unto CDT. The guys there were great. They put me at ease and took a good look at my car. By this time it was way after 5.OO pm, so l was stuck in Albany for the night. Early next morning my car limped in (barely) but because of some good ol' elbow grease and true mecanics knowing how to do things sometimes not by the book, l was back on the road within a few hours. It wasn't a permanent fix but it got me home in a few hours, saving more than 90% of what Midas was going to charge. Thank Again
