Expensive and vey rude. Disppointed by how Joe treats his customers, he changed his price after he started working on my car, I felt being blackmailed. Questionable quality of work. I will.never go back! read more

My wife was involved in a collision and the sheriff called him to tow the car. He told my wife that he won't charge us unless the insurance pays for it. the car was in his place for 3 days because weekend came in. I went today and I told him that our insurance is not covering it and said he doesn't remember saying that he won't charge us and he charged me $600 (for towing which he said he wont and for 3 nights) which makes him a Liar. Then I had to tow my car all the way to Albany and he said it will cost $480 so I called other towing companies around for a cheaper price. I found one for $300. When I told him that this towing company will come and get my car he said "I do like that guy" and he added that "I wish I knew that you will call someone else, I would've charged you $150 a night" (he did charge me $50 a night which is the same for all in the area). When I was talking to one towing company and I told them that my car is here, he said that they are not allowed to come on his property. He was rude and unprofessional. All he wanted was more money and thats all he cared about. Not sure how are they still operating and why even the sheriff office would call them after such a horrible service. If you are working in such industry, you should make things easy for people and not make their life harder especially if someone is involved in a collision an hour away from their town. read more

My 18 year old son rode his car into a ditch and Joe was there at 1am within minutes of a call. He professionally handled my concerns and the towing and worked with us and insurance adjusters to figure out best next steps. I felt I could breathe again. read more

See all

Love Joey. Honest and always takes good care of us. We have known him since he was a teen.

My car was towed there by Livingston police after hitting deer .. police wouldn't let me call AAA but called this place who wanted 250 cash . I had my insurance company move it to be appraised but when I went to joe's to empty car my keys and a beautiful unusual key ring were missing.. including house keys. The owner wasn't there but when I finally reached him he said he had one key in front of him on a hook and would place in car. He denied having the rest of the keys which is nonsense. I'm having the work done elsewhere and they confirmed that even that one single key was not in car. read more

Joe is always quick to get you in, honest and respectful, has nice low prices and does a good job at his work. I have brought my car here multiple times and been satisfied with the work all of my visits. read more

I was recommended to Joe's auto from a couple of very good friends of mine who have been "very very happy with Joe's" True to their word, Joe's Auto was very responsive, reliable, honest and fair pricing. Called on a Tuesday and he got me in Friday.. by 10:30 they were complete and our truck was back to running smooth They were easy to deal with no beating around the bush just honest and straight forward. Thank you Joe's - I'll be spreading the word! read more

Never felt ripped off great service very knowledgeable of VW Bugs. Service is always on time and takes time to explain what was done and what's needed. Never tired to upsell me. read more

Please don't use Joe's. Worst experience I have ever had dealing with auto repairs. Seriously would give zero stars if I could. Joe was the most unprofessional shop owner I have ever encountered. He is super flakey, impossible to get ahold of, and is never at his shop if you try to stop by to speak with him in person. More often than not, if you are able to get ahold of him, he states that he will "have to call you back," to which, he never does, forcing you to have to call him until he answers. When we were told we could come pick up the car, we waited over an hour for him to show up, during business hours. He kept my car for over a week before I was finally able to get him on the phone and ask what the deal was, to which he had told me that he had been away for a few days, but had noticed before he had left that I probably needed some new tires. We were also way over-billed for parts and services my car did not need. It wasn't until we got the bill that we were told that he had taken the initiative to do some things himself. The worst part about that is that I had the replacement parts IN MY CAR already. Joe's is also seriously lacking when it comes to security. My keys, as it turns out, were never in a safe and secure place. When I got there, I attempted to hand my keys to someone working in the garage, and they just set them down on the counter. I'm not sure if it's common practice for all mechanic shops, but it seems Joe just likes to leave the keys in the cars. When we had finally gotten my car back from what was supposed to be a simple inspection, we had found that he had just gone and left my old tires in the back seat of my car and did't tell us about it. Anyways, please don't make the same mistake I did. Please don't use Joe's there are countless better shops nearby. read more

Started going to Joe about a year ago after my mechanic moved. Honest prices and honest work that's usually done quick. Everyone there is straight and to the point. 100% recommend, you might not get a smile when you walk in but you'll be smiling when your car runs the way it should. read more

Run!!!This is the worst. Do your self a favor and find another garage. The owner is beyond rude, inexperienced and a liar. This is a bootleg garage, no technology and no technical no how. My car was left damaged and the owner does not stand behind his services. The garage is so bad that it has to tow cars for Hudson Police as a side hustle if that is indicative of his business. read more

Unreliable, unprofessional, and a total waste of time. Made an appointment for a tow on Tuesday for Wednesday. Called on Wednesday to confirm my appointment she said all set should be around 2pm, im having car brought to and appointment at dealership. Waited untill after 330 to call to find out she never told the tow driver about my tow and they were not gonna tow me to me appointment. ZERO COMMUNICATION. read more

Joe is the most honest mechanic I have had since moving to Dutchess county in 2012. We drive 30 min each way to his shop. He never over-sells and his prices are fair to low. He fixes things right. He is also very accessible. He does all work on our Honda Odyssey and Subaru Forester. I highly recommend him. read more

This past weekend when I was sick, I ended up trying a lot of places to fix an A/C problem (where the blower didn't put out any air) and although some places I tried would have been able to fix the problem, those places were trying to over-charge me, so I decided to leave them and try some of the little guys a little out of my reach. My mother had known about this business (from using them about 10 years ago) and I was internally like "What do I have to loose?". Boy was I in for a rude awakening. They told me to leave the kids in the vehicle and the show owner himself would take care of the car when he got around to it. I know a little about Elizaville, and although it seems like this "sleepy little town", theft is a big concern here (as there are few streetlights) - but off the small 2-lane County Route 8, I really didn't feel good leaving my keys where you told me to put them. Don't you have a key-board to hold all the keys of cars your servicing like most auto-mechanics do (what seems like) country-wide? They found the problem and what was just overnight seemed like and eternity. We asked and we got results. They installed the new blower motor and I thought I was "back on the road". Wrong-o! By that time, they only did the "cleanup" job only half-way. They hadn't put back the bracket for my glovebox (where the glovebox latches into). I mean, they put the bracket in my car, but not where it was originally found (they stashed it underneath the front seat until I and the employee (because I did go back) - oops - reinstalled it.) (They lost the original screws, but that's not a big thing.) If only I hadn't had a brother who had knowledge of these things inside a car, I probably would still have a glovebox that would keep dropping and I'd be running my Lyft car with duct-tape holding the glovebox up - and loosing tips and money otherwise. Oh Lord! Still not too thrilled. What once was working on an unrelated part prior to service this past weekend, now doesn't work. Don't know why, but it could be a simple fix. Although my driver's side window has power and goes up and down manually, what once was a great feature to have (in power down AND power UP), now goes down with AUTO, but up is now a manual needs with holding the button.) If only I hadn't brought my car here, that would still be working right to this day. I'm not impressed when you broke something that was working prior to entering your shop. (I haven't re-entered to have this fixed, but I think this could be a simple fix (as such as a resistor or electrical problem), or this could-be a Nissan-only problem so I really don't know - I really did like that feature but I don't have the money to fix these things right now. And although this place took about an hour and a half on "fix-it" day, they charged me for one hour, and not only that, when I showed them that I was paying fully in cash, he knocked off the tax and 90 cents from parts and labor to bring it to a nice round number (still over 230, but that was nice.) read more

Horribly inept, they clearly have no automotive repair skills or knowledge of any kind. They attempt repairs, don't fix your car & over charge you all with without your consent. Their communications & customer service is just as bad!!!! read more

The staff could be friendlier. They seem smart about cars. They fixed ours and I don't think they robbed us blind like so many mechanics do. read more

Joe treated us awesome! Fixed my Subaru quick and so reasonable! Would definitely recommend!

Our car broke down in Columbia county and his towing service was great. But then we made a biggest mistake of buying a used car from him. It was way, way overprices and it was not year since we bought it, we are putting thousands of dollars to keep it running. He claimed that he checks all his cars, before re-selling them, but in our case we got a super rotten deal. read more

Joe is FANTASTIC! I wouldnt trust anyone else working on my car, he has done a great job keeping my car running, and I never worry about getting sabotaged like I have before with other mechanics. Also I love that I can go in and say I think this is wrong with my car and I dont get second guessed because of my gender. He is very respectful and professional and has always taken great care of my vehicle when I was in a bind. read more
