Best 12 Auto Repair Shops Near near Me in Utica, NY (Update 2025)

Thomas Wysocki Dave and his team are incredibly thorough. I came in with an undiagnosed rattle not only fixed that issue but several others that were holding back my car’s performance. He walked me through all my options and now my Honda is running better than ever. He’s extremely honest, fair, and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a trust worthy shop you’ve found the place.

Jup R I had my car serviced twice in the last few weeks and the service was great. Dave was friendly and very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain what my car needed. My 2014 Honda CRV drives like a new car! I was also leaving for vacation and got a nail in my tire. I brought my car to Dave at 2pm and he put on two new tires by 4pm. I highly recommend Computer Aided Automotive. Thanks Art and Jen

Shawn OToole I wouldnt even consider another mechanic!! Dave and Justin are without a doubt the best, most detailed oriented, and honest mechanics in the area. If you are the type of person that truly wants your vehicle to be safe and reliable, and you understand the value in preventative maintenance, Computer Aided Automotive should be the place you take your cars. I have always been extremely satisfied with their work, trust their knowledge and suggestions, and have referred them to countless friends and family.

holly armstrong We were on our way to New Paltz to pick up our grandson from college. Just a little south of Boonville the right rear tire went flat…totally flat so we could not drive at all. The AAA Driver from Rensen was there to assist us in less than 30 minutes. He then took us to Maugeri’s Auto Repair. The service was sensitive to our need to get to NewPaltz as quick as we could because the dorm was closing. They ordered the spare tire quickly for us and mounted the tire as quick as possible. Kudos to the staff for their excellent and thoughtful service.

Jaden Jeswald My dad is a mechanic of 40 years and when my truck suddenly wouldn’t start while he was many miles and states away we both kind of panicked. (Me much more than him) Luckily I was able to get it towed to Maugeri’s and they were amazing and super helpful. It was a minor fix and in reality didn’t take much work to get started again. While they could have charged for having my truck for a few days and for taking a look at it at all, they didn’t. The owner Chris is a really great guy and his employees are great too. They’re super honest and he said he wouldn’t want his kid to be stuck in a situation like mine without help so it was no problem at all. I appreciated this so much and I know if I have any issues in the future I’d be in good hands here. Would HIGHLY recommend!!

Yanira DePuy This is my go to for all my car service needs. Great staff and owner.

A Anaup He was mean, cocky on the phone and quoted me 450$ + to do inner rod! Allignment not included. I have a small vehicle, not a big deisal. 7/8/25.

Doug I have been going to Noyes St. Brake & Alignment and they are the best and honest repair garage around, thank you Rich and crew.

LuLa Cotto-Rodriguez Great group of guys there that work very hard as soon as you walk in they get you at the door they are great with working on your vehicle

Isabella Moo In May, I brought my vehicle to Oriskany Garage while I was living in Utica, to have both the intake and exhaust VVT solenoids replaced. At the time, my husband was deployed in the Middle East, and I relied solely on this shop to handle the repair professionally and thoroughly. Just a few months later, I’m now living at Fort Drum, and the same issue has returned — the P0014 code is back, and I’m now experiencing additional serious problems: the engine shuts off while driving, there’s a loss of power, and the ABS system is malfunctioning. This is not only frustrating, but also unsafe. I’m now concerned about the reliability of the work performed, especially since the car is no longer safe to drive and I’m hours away. I trusted Oriskany Garage to do quality work with dependable parts, and I’m disappointed to be facing potentially costly and dangerous consequences for a repair I already paid for just a few months ago. I’m not writing this to be harsh, but to express my deep disappointment as a military spouse who relied on this service during a deployment, and in hopes that Oriskany Garage will take accountability and be willing to review the situation fairly. A willingness to stand behind their work — especially when it affects customer safety — would be appreciated and go a long way toward restoring confidence.

Lillian Greybeck Easy to set up oil change. When I called I felt my car was running a bit rough, after a 4.5 day 2700 mile trip. Price is on par for a full synthetic. I was able to ask for the state inspection when I got there, since I forgot to call and ask after I had set up my oil change. Super easy and they got me all taken care of. Ive never not used a Mazda shop, except for body work. I will absolutely continue coming here for everything my car needs. I was a waiter and it took right about an hour, which is "express lube" times for me. I also just moved from the other side of the country and these peeps have set me at ease knowing I have a very reliable place for vehicle service. This was for a 2015 Mazda 3 2.5i

Payton Zebda Customer service is out of this world. I appreciate people who talk to you like youre human. Plus, theyre honest, fast and thorough. Ive had my brakes done there twice, both experiences have been great.

Yakult Man Towing fee was way too high. I would rather wait until the morning for a reputable company to tow my car.

Meaghan Greenway I got stuck in my driveway at almost 2 o clock in the morning with the entirety of my car in the road. After many attempts to get my car out of the snow and unstuck, Mikale, showed up with his truck offering to help. He towed us out of my driveway and i was able to park correctly. He helped so much and was incredibly kind, id probably still be stuck as Im writing this if it werent for him. Thank you

Dejin1 This guy was the only one who answered on Saturday when i called multiple other shops, I had a really quick welding job he was quick fast and friendly. I am very happy to work with him again!

Nedra Isenberg My husband had a rear axle snap on his Model T and they came and figured out a way to get it on the flatbed and take it to our house and get it into our garage. Very friendly and took extra care to get everything done safely.

Brian Tarnelli Not sure how anyone CAN NOT rate Johnstons Towing 5 stars! Carl was on time, professional, personable and experienced no questions asked! Would recommend to any friend or family in need. Whether the middle of the night on a holiday or heat index of 98, he made other local tow companies look foolish! After other companies refused the job, Carl was the right man for it! Keep him around and continue the expertise your company provides our community! Thank you, thank you

Jennifer Carruth Just want to say I appreciate the flexibility and kindness I received. Johnson’s has gained my respect in more ways than one. Thank you very much!!!

Rebecca Doolen Always reliable! True to their word. Best mechanics in area. Great family owned business and they are always there in a pinch. Always give great options and never try to upsell on things you don’t need!

Ashley Ellsworth Horrible experience! My vehicle got towed there after being crashed into, and they took there sweet time to make profits off my insurance company. Ive called them many times asking them what was going on with my vehicle since the accident, and got no answers.. just oh, well get to it. Poor communication. Very unprofessional. My vehicle sat there for nine days with no answers for me. I just wanted my vehicle out of this place so I asked for it to be towed, and they charged me out of pocket $400.00 for a tow from Oriskany Blvd in Utica to York Street in Utica... while collecting the money from my insurance company. Just awful! The tow guy Dave is nice, but the rest are something else.

Donald Dutcher Very unprofessional on the phone . When speaking to the guy about my car he makes the place sound like they dont care about you or your car and that when they get to working on your car they get to it and if they cant figure out whats wrong with your car they move onto the next car and go back to your car at their convenience . Id give no stars but I had to pick a star to leave feed back about this place . Best advice I can give is take your car somewhere else cause your car aint a priority if they cant figure out whats wrong with it .

Jonathan Hamoy I brought my car for a smoke test a few months ago for an evap leak code I was getting on my car. And they did the test and said they didn’t detect any leaks. Well the code was still there. I brought it somewheres else shortly after, and they found a noticeable crack in the filler neck vent line. I called the owner to try to get a refund or some kind of credit. They did not want to work anything out with me besides bringing it back in to further inspect. At that point there was nothing else to inspect , why would I pay for more labor time to inspect when the leak wasn’t even found?. Seems like the test wasn’t performed, and they weren’t willing to work anything out. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Armin Mededovic They do amazing work and are beyond fair with pricing. Highly recommend and I will return for future repairs here.

Braeden C Hands down best mechanic shop, in 15 years I have never been let down here and I recommend everyone go here and try, everyone is honest and fair and this place is just great. They can fix and do anything

Vishal Kodam I had a fantastic experience at this service shop. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I was impressed by their attention to detail. Additionally, they were generous enough to provide a discount, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need!

Imran Farhath Good work and gave the vehicle on time. And charged low for the repair.

Akash madishetti The service is very good and excellent and the fast delivery too.

Mo W Pat was my service provider & he did a wonderful job fixing & inspecting my car. I needed a new wheel bearing & a few other things done. Not only was the service great, but its also quick. These guys know what theyre doing!

Vedo B WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND!!!!! STAY AWAY!!! Overfilled my engine by 3 quarts of oil, engine jumped timing because of it. Engine is a cylinder, he charged me 80 dollars for regular oil. Would absolutely never recommend to anyone. When i went back to the shop and i told him my oil was 3 quarts overfilled he shrugged his soldiers and said "it wasnt me". Stay away if you want your car fixed.

Bernard Morosco I’ve known Mr Harry for years there is nothing about vehicle that he can not fix. My car is 19 years old and he keeps it in top notch condition

Patricia Croneiser The guy that was working at the counter went above and beyond to try to find something that would work in my car. Went to all 3 parts stores in Lowville and this was the only one will to think out of the box and help! Thank you!

Alex Ross Always great service and knowledgeable counter people. Best prices around and always willing to help.

Shelly Gokey Good service always rights parts when right information has been given to them

Deborah Griffin Precision collision repaired our daughter’s vehicle and the workmanship was superb. The vehicle had extensive front end damage and was restored to show room reality. Extremely easy to work with and helped us every step with the insurance company and adjuster / highly recommend / 10/10 - couldn’t ask for any better
