I'm not normally compelled to write reviews for oil changes; however, I had a great experience…read moretoday at Valvoline. Angel greeted me and got the ball rolling and Steve took over from there. Steve answered all of my questions and helped me reset the maintenance schedule in my car. I just moved to Albany a few weeks ago and this will definitely be the place that I return when I need another oil change.

I come back to get my car and they have done a ton of other things to it. When talking to the manager that had been gone for a week (toothless guy) he said he wasn't here and clearly I asked for it as it was in the notes. No I wanted just a tire as I use discount tire for my tires but no discount in NY. It was over $500 when it would be $225 at a discount. The manager was like well the guy stole a bunch of money from the store and didn't show up and we can't reach him. Ok that is not my problem as the customer though!!!

Can't say I've ever had any issues or concerns with this location. We've been bringing three cars…read morehere for the 6/7 years we've lived in Delmar. Their job is to sell additional services, but I never felt any pressure to say yes. Keep an eye on your maintenance records. Here's the secret. Go after 4:00 pm and the line is short to nonexistent and I think the guys are ready to go home so perhaps they work a little quicker? Idk. Use the coupons they send you or you can find them online. I personally find that if you talk to the techs like they're people, they're friendly. Shocker for some people I know. I also don't want to discredit reviewers who complain about poor/bad service because I'm sure it's happened. If I have one complaint. They do ask for too much for new cabin filters so learn to do that on your own. But at least they show me when I need to replace it.

Is willing to do something quick for you even if it means he gets stuck past closing hours. Work is always of a high quality. Friendly. And he's honest and is good at managing customer expectations. The mechanics that work under Derek are courteous and do great work. I've never had a bad experience with them. Great reputation across the capital district and its duly deserved. Note: dropping by in person seems to be the best way to set up an appointment. Not by phone.

Took my car to capital tech for a leaking water pump. James did this work on his own time which…read moreinvolved changing the water pump as well as the timing chains and tensioners. About 2 weeks later the car developed an oil leak from the area of the crankshaft seal and or the timing cover as well as the front valve cover gasket, all of which he had to change. I paid James 900 dollars cash and I supplied the parts needed to do the job. Now after 2 weeks of text messages and 2 or 3 phone calls to my place of employment, James said he has not forgot about me. I have now taken the vehicle to another mechanic for the repairs. This review is not about Capital Tech itself but the mechanic. I am expecting these repairs to cost another 300 to 500 dollars on top of the almost 1600 parts and labor already spent.
