John Foley's Garage

These people are the best. The receptionist greets you as soon as you step in the door, knows exactly who you are, why you're there, and the general condition of your vehicle. They work fast, with precision and know-how, and get the job done right. It's the kind of place you want to keep going back to. Service you know you can count on. People who care about, and take pride in their work and their shop.

I discovered John Foley's Garage in the 2022 Best of the Capital Region. When I saw that they were highly rated on Google, and even better, they are only ten minutes from my house, I knew I had to try them.

After my first visit in January 2023, it became my new auto shop for my 2008 Pontiac G8 GT. Traci and Sean, are so friendly and passionate about what they do, and they treat your car right.

There's a reason why they have to schedule you two weeks out on average. They are a popular auto shop! If you live in the Altamont area I highly recommend them.

Sean and Tracy may, in fact, be loveliest people on the planet! I've got an older car that I'm determined to keep running and they went above and beyond to make that happen. I'm often terrified dealing with mechanics as I'm entirely ignorant to anything car related. They never make me feel stupid and explain everything with such clarity. I'm so grateful! I would recommend their services to anyone a million times over.

We have been going to Foley's for the last 3 years and they are the best Auto repair shop we have been to! Stacy is super polite and always follows up. Their work is top notch!

Used this garage for years and really would not think of going anywhere else. Extremely helpful and they never try to run up the bill. Skilled work and can diagnose just about anything. Really useful in getting the last few miles out of older cars that you know you need to replace as well.

As an example for their trustworthiness, once got an oil change elsewhere because I was in a hurry and was told by the other shops mechanic that I need four new breaks at close to $1k. Immediately took my car over to Foley's who confirmed that my breaks were fine, which I got another 4 years out of. Can't recommend highly enough.

Amazing people to work with. Both Sean and Traci are professional and honest people. I have had them do everything from oil changes to engine rebuilds and they always over deliver. I have worked in the auto industry and to find a shop that does this quality of work and maintains this level of professionalism can be next to impossible.

Very friendly and professional garage. Mechanics do a really good job and try to help you out if your in a tough situation. Very honest and always good reliable repairs. Been going there many years, intend to go many more. Would definitely recommend to.anyone that wants a fair priced good mechanic.

He and his wife are the best. I let no one work on my car 🚗 but Shan Foley.thanks to my son maceo,and friend Neil, S. If you ever take your car to Shan, you will not take it anywhere else.

Sean Foley is a great man. Our family usually brings our cars to his garage for repairs. I have had many problems with my 2002 Subaru Outback such as ball joints, exhaust leaks, and overheating problems. I couldn't just figure out why my car was overheating so much. I have had my car getting a new radiator and both hoses fixed, and the car still overheated. So my father and I just this week went to his place, and it turned out it was a blown head gasket. Sean had explained what blown head gaskets were, and how expensive it costs to get fixed. My car pretty much is now going to be on its last legs because it has over 233k miles and its just not worth getting a new headgasket due to the amount of miles on my car.

Sean has done great work with our cars, and we would love to come back. Once I get a new car sometime, I will be bringing it to his shop for repairs.

We only bring our cars to Sean Foley's Garage. Plus, many people I work with do as well. His service is excellent and his prices very fair. His waiting room is very pleasant with many magazines, cable TV and free Wi-Fi.

WOW! My Sister in law was visiting the Altamont area from Maine. She experienced car trouble and had her vehicle towed to S Foley Garage on Sunday. When we went to see about the possible problems and expecting the worst on Monday...We were greeted by a very friendly receptionist/Assistant (Tracy). Warmth and personality was presented before business. Sean (the owner) was right there. He informed us that there was not issue with the car that it could have been a temporary problem. He tested the vehicle twice. With huge relief we went to pay and it was refused by both Tracy and Sean. What? In this day and age of rip offs, overcharging and unnecessary repairs we encountered old school ethics. I am not sure I remember the last time I encountered this type of amazing treatment. Thank you Tracy and Sean. You are in inspiration!

They are very professional and will work with you on anything with your car. And if you can't pay in full at the time of service they will work out a payment plan with you. My family and i have been going to Foleys Garage my whole life. And trust them with any of my vehicles.

Wonderful service and great prices. Very honest. The staff is so nice and caring. Recommend them to anyone!

Never ever have I had a bad experience here. Sean and his wife are true professionals. I will never go anywhere else and I tell everyone I know about them. An honest, good mechanic can be hard to find and I found one.

This is the best garage on the face of the Earth. My family and I regularly service our vehicles here. Sean is super honest and a great guy and this may be the only place of business where I feel like I get more than I pay for. I only wish they did body work.

Filey always has been and ways will be the best car garage in the Western Hemisphere. My dad's go-to garage before me, he has been working on some of our vehicles for 25 years. I live in Schoharie County now and still make the trip because I've had so many bad experiences at every would be muffler puncturing place (looking at you monroe) that I don't trust anyone else. Call ahead though, between my entire family the place is usually booked a good week out.

Excellent family run business for two generations. Great mechanics at this establishment. My grandfather used to go to them on a regular basis when I was a kid. I'm now 68 years old & know one in my family has ever been dissatisfied with the work they do

Been going to them for a few years now. Honest and not exorbitant in their pricing. Highly recommend them.

Great people with great service and know how. Honest and kind! I would recommend them to everyone wholeheartedly! Best garage in the whole Capital District!

Sean Foley once again diagnosed my aging vehicle's issues and resolved successfully at an affordable price. I have found my mechanic. Life is good.
