Lawtons Automotive - Albany (NY)

5 /5 A W: I highly recommend Lawtons over any other mechanic in the area. Jerry and his team are always super upfront and honest about repairs/cost and take the time to explain and answer questions simply. They operate in a transparent and ethical way and are the most considerate and professional auto shop Ive ever dealt with. Thank you to everyone at Lawtons!

5 /5 Gregory Ira: Top notch mechanics. Had my car towed there to diagnose and fix an odd issue where the car wouldnt start(not the starter). They could have easily taken the easy way out and just charged me thousands for a new wiring harness. Instead they took the time to methodically work their way down to the actual issue which was a corroded connection and fixed it. Price was more than fair considering the time it took for them to drill down to the issue. Nice to find a shop with real mechanics who know what they are doing and are good at it. I highly recommend Lawtons.

5 /5 Jacqueline Preston: Been bringing my car here for over 10 years and legit dont let anyone else fix it. Theyre helpful and reasonable.

5 /5 Kyle Bergen: I’ve worked in a shop for a number of years when I was younger, so I know what to look for when it comes to quality work and honest service. I’ve always been a car guy and I’m particular about who I trust with my vehicles—Lawtons Automotive ticks all the boxes for me. Jerry is a stand-up guy who takes the time to explain things clearly and never tries to upsell unnecessary work. He treats you like a person, not just another ticket. The work is always top-notch, prices are fair, and the turnaround time is solid. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Whether it’s routine maintenance or a tricky issue, this is the shop you want. Go here—you won’t be disappointed.

5 /5 Garrett Smelcer: I did not have my car serviced here. Jerry wasnt able to fit me in as a walk-in, but he took the time at the front desk to help me figure out what to do next, and how to do it best, when my car left me stranded. Big rec on professionalism alone, I really appreciate it.
