In West Glens Falls. John, Shaun and...have consistently helped me with my two vehicles (one 30 plus years old). They have done remarkable work at very reasonable cost and once at no cost to me at all, saving me hundreds of dollars! Here’s the rest of the story. I had an older model Camry which I had a nearby repair shop service. I returned there with power steering problems and after their analysis was told it would cost close to $800 to repair. In desperation I turned to C&J for a second opinion. Shaun put it on the lift and thoroughly greased whatever part was performing badly and sent me on my way at no cost with the hope that it would remedy the situation. Well I never had another issue with it saving me hundreds! My 30 plus old convertible had an electrical draw somewhere causing the battery to continually go dead. I resorted to disconnecting one battery terminal when the car wasn’t being driven to keep from having to jump it every time I needed to move it. I didn’t drive it all summer because I was told it needed at least $2000. Worth of work before it could pass inspection and the electrical draw source was hard to pinpoint. Back to C&J. I told the guys at C&J that the windshield wipers were not working and the blades needed replacing. On their further examination they found that something in the wiper motor had seized causing the draw on the battery. John called every auto part dealer up and down the east coast even into Texas searching for a new wiper motor to no avail. Did they give up? No! They took the existing wiper motor apart and replaced faulty plastic parts with better metal ones! Again at very reasonable cost to me. Will I ever go to C&J again as a second opinion? No way! From now on they will always be my FIRST

The local mechanic in town took a quick look at it and suggested I take it to a transmission specialist. He recommended ABC Transmissions in South Glens Falls. Boy, did he do me a favor. Though it was a bit of a hike, and I'm pretty sure there were other transmission shops closer, I don't think I could have found a better place to go. The owner Al personally worked on my vehicle and in 20 minutes diagnosed the problem correctly and made the necessary repairs so that my family and I were able to make the 250 mile ride home safely. Al is a top notch professional mechanic but more than that he is an honest man. DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER AND TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AL at ABC TRANSMISSIONS!
