“Going to George's was easy and fast! I dropped off my work van for an inspection and brake work at 8:30 am and by 12:30 I was driving it home with 4 new rotors and pads!!!
My work van is my livelyhood so I really appreciate the super quick service.”
“I don't normally write reviews, but I had to give these guys their props. I haven't been to this shop in over a year. My buddy turned me on to this other automotive repair shop and I tried them out. Their work was impeccable but they are far from where I live and you can never get an appointment for less than a 2-3 week wait. I was having trouble with my front suspension and it couldn't wait 2-3 weeks to get fixed. I thought I'd give these guys another chance so I gave them a call to see if they could help me out. I explained my situation to Bob and he said I could drop the truck off and they'd have a look at it. I get a call a few hours later and Bob tells me what the problem is and that they have the parts to fix my truck and they could fix it today. They've won me back. Thanks for you're help Joe and Bob!”

“Daniel from D&P was *fantastic*! Fastest lock out service I’ve ever had, and he was able to arrive shortly after I called as well. Friendly and helpful. Thank you for all of your help!”
“Five stars without hesitation. All 4 One in Albany is the kind of shop you hope to find but rarely do. They handled my transmission work with real expertise, explained everything clearly, and never tried to upsell unnecessary repairs. I also had a wheel alignment done along with general maintenance, and the car drives better than it has in years. The team is honest, skilled, and efficient, with fair pricing and quick turnaround. If you are looking for a reliable place for transmission repairs, alignments, or regular automotive maintenance, this shop truly delivers.”
“This towing business is simply great. The guy who runs it is exceptional. I would never consider using anyone else. He takes care of my vehicles as if they were his own and his pricing is always fair. If you ever need a tow, this is your go-to guy.”
“Had a blowout this past Friday in Clifton Park. Terrible timing. But Essentials made the experience a breeze. Amanda was extremely helpful and provided me with pictures of the drop off at Destination Kia who lied about the drop off day. Won't be my next destination. Kudos to coffmans!”

“Our car was stuck on the highway on a weekend morning near Albany NY. We called a major roadside service, and through shear incompetence, waited hours for a tow truck that never came. We called Joe, and he was there in 20 minutes. He had us fixed up in short order. We are thankful for his fast and friendly service.I don’t think he takes credit cards. Venmo or cash, if I recall correctly.(Note: The image on Google Maps is a house. I was initially concerned that this was not a real towing service. Thankfully it was and is.Joe: You really need to put a picture of your truck or business on Google Maps)”
“Customer service is top notch, they are honest and willing to slow down and have a conversation with you to help explain an issue. They take me seriously as a customer, which means a lot as a young woman who has had many negative experiences with mechanics. Prices are very reasonable and they never recommend unnecessary fixes.”

I would most definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to get a tow. thanks Logan!!!”
“I brought my vehicle in for an issue with the tires (purchased elsewhere) and their treadwear not lasting per the tire warranty. Vinny was a great help, outstanding customer service and very respectful and professional. He looked at the vehicle and performed all necessary requests for the warranty company. Him and his staff were great to work with. I further asked about an inspection, and he/his staff performed a same day inspection right away. They were awesome to work with. I highly recommend this shop for your mechanical, tire and inspection needs.”

“Perlman’s was dispatched for me by a third-party roadside assistance company. My car being broken down was the straw that broke the camel’s back in an already very bad week. The driver was so kind and sympathetic as I intermittently sobbed throughout the towing process, all while dealing with a jump start turned tow in 20° weather with an electronic e-brake that didn’t want to shut off and a car that was parked at the wrong angle in a narrow parking lot. Very grateful for the kindness I was shown.”
