Honest group of guys, highly professional and quick with work. I went there at the end of winter and they had a line of people out the door at 8am - right when they open - and my car was still done by the end of the same day.Very affordable and great service.Highly highly recommend going here for your muffler needs. Great great group of people working here.Thank you Pete for your amazing work!!

My family and I have all brought at least one of our vehicles here over the years, the service has always been high quality and they get the job done in a timely manner. 5 stars from me and I highly recommend to anyone needing muffler or exhaust work done. 👍

Always a pleasure dropping my cars off at Pete's Auto Parts, I have been for some time. In business for a long time for good reason. An honest shop that serves their customers best interests. 1 thing to know is that they do such good work here that you will need to come in early as they book services quickly. As long as I own a car, Pete's will be the place that services them.

Got a reference here from a friend. Sooooo glad I took the advice.I had a broken tailpipe behind my resonator. I priced shopped and could only find places that would replace parts. The prices ranged from $650 (for a it may work) to over $2000 (for a complete replacement). I then went to look to just fix it myself and it would be $625 for parts.I went to Pete's and they were able to find a solution for $183. I dropped off my 1999 Camera; yes 1999, and even though they were extremely busy and understaffed, they got me in and out in a few hours.Pete is an extremely knowledgeable and friendly guy as is his staff. I don't know how to thank him enough or say enough amazing things about his business.I almost hate to write this review because he is already super busy, but his business is worth writing about and highly recommending.Thank you Pete for keeping my old girl on the road!!!

This place is a joke of a repair shop not only will you have to call 10/15 times to get somebody to Answer the phone you’ll get told one thing when you call to supposedly make appointments that they don’t have? and then get told you gotta leave it with them for an entire day to adjust a muffler hanger, I have brought a bunch of cars here in the past for exhaust work and never had this kind of experience. Poor customer service leads to low customer retention.

Great place for auto repair, especially exhaust systems. Honest, professional and reasonable prices for car repairs are hard to come by these days, but you can count on these guys. Highly recommend.

Hands down THE best garage! Pete's is honest and hands down the best priced around! Friendly and efficient, I dropped my car off at 8am this morning and it was done by the afternoon! I cannot thank the mechanic Pete enough.

Pete is a life saver!!! He gets vehicles in very quickly and not only that he’s able to diagnose and fix the issues just as fast. They go through the vehicles meticulously to make sure nothing is wrong. Have amazing welding work and always have the best prices on brake, suspension, or tire issues!

Pete's repaired a damaged exhaust pipe of my girlfriends 1998 Beetle, with overwhelmingly satisfactory results. They received, inspected, accurately quoted, worked on and invoiced the car in one day! Super happy with the both the speed as well as the professionalism and kindness displayed by both Peter and his staff.Service: Exhaust

Honest, good work! Many places won't repair exhaust, and for some cars the part alone can cost over $2000 before labor, because it is sold as an assembly with cats, resonators, etc. There are no NY legal aftermarket options either for many cars. Lexus dealer wanted $2500 with labor and the wholesale price was $1400 for the part. These parts will also likely corrode before their time in the car eating salt here, so you may have to replace again. Pete can repair your exhaust quickly for a very fair price, there is no other shop to consider. Highly recommended!

Pete's is the best auto repair shop I've ever been to I had my flex pipe rot off and I called Pete's they told me to drop it off and they would look at it I wasn't expecting them to be done with it that day but they were and it was a lot cheaper than I thought. Pete's has the best customer service I've had the pleasure of having they are the best will definitely be returning for any automotive maintenance. Thank you will recommend to my friends and family!

This shop is run by honest people that get the job done quickly for a decent price. They aren't trying to rip folks off. Very impressed by the level of professional business practices at Pete's auto. If you have an older vehicle, this is the place to take it in to be worked on.

I knew what was causing the very loud sound coming from the exhaust system in my 2005 Honda Civic. I estimated Pete's could fix the problem for $100 to $150 (a cut, a small piece of pipe, and 2 welds). I was in Westchester County and 2 auto repair shops there told me I needed to replace most of the exhaust system, parts and labor costing about $2,000. The next day, I left at 4:30 a.m. in order to arrive at Pete's before they opened at 8:00 a.m. (wearing earphones and hoping not to get pulled over for the loud noise on the drive up to Schenectady). While I was waiting for the repair at Pete's, I took a nap and read the current day's Albany Times Union and the current day's New York Times on the window ledge (very impressive) and watched a little T.V. 2 1/2 hours later I paid $116 (plus a $10 tip for the mechanic/welder) and I was on my way by 10:30 a.m. I have been a loyal Pete's customer and recommending Pete's to family and friends for over 35 years. I love the many multi-generational small family owned businesses in Schenectady.Service: Exhaust

This place was great!!My Honda Pilot needed a new resonator for months, but it’s been on back order with no known back in stock date. I was also told I’d have to replace the whole exhaust system (it’s 1 pc, not 3 like on some vehicles), almost $1200 for parts and labor. I couldn’t take the noise anymore. My brother in-law spoke very highly of Pete. I called Pete’s Auto and they said I could drop it off and they’d see what they could do. I dropped off a roaring beast and picked up a quiet, peaceful kitten. They cut out the bad and welded in a good replacement for under $200!! I wish I called months ago. Thanks Pete’s Auto!!Service: Exhaust

My long time mechanic told me I needed all new piping, a new catalytic converter, and two mufflers to the tune of $4k. Pete had a look and said a piece of pipe merely needed to be welded in. Only a few hundred for the work. It's been running great since. Very honest and good work.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place I'm really just very impressed with the professionalism and how well they treat their customers how fair the prices are how quick they are to give you the information all upfront. I've never been disappointed in any of the work that they've done.I am forever grateful for this auto shop. I think my favorite part is that they never ever speak to me in that condescending tone that I've gotten from every other shop I've ever been to. These guys know what they're doing.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Brakes

These folks are honest. If they are sure what the problem is, they tell you and discuss options. They work super fast and the prices are very fair. They don’t do engine work but for anything else this is the only place I will go.

It's very rare to find good, honest, trustworthy mechanics; but Pete and his team are exactly that. Pete is personable and actually cares about getting his customers the help they need. I've gone here a few times now and each and every time they have quickly addressed and fixed the issue differently from any other shops in Albany. These guys are awesome!

This was probably the most positive and straightforward service experience I've ever had. I dropped my car off at 8am for an exhaust leak, they called me at 11am to confirm what my mechanic told me and get approval for the repair, and then called me at 1:45pm saying it was done.There really is something to be said for clear and honest expectations, and a quick repair that doesn't break the bank. 10/10 would use them again.FYI, they don't take appointments so get there when they open.

I've been going to Pete's Auto for several years and every experience has been total satisfaction! Nobody offers better customer service than Pete and his capable, hard working crew. If there's a more honest individual in the car repair business than Pete, I'm not aware of it!

Although I will admit I am bias, this is the absolute only place to bring your car regardless of whether I happen to know the very intelligent and hard working staff here. This is a welcoming and non-pressure location where I can tell you no matter if you are a female with zero knowledge of cars or a dude familiar under the hood you will be treated fairly. Very great hours all week as well as some weekend open hours as well as very competitive prices ! 😉

This place is AWESOME! The Honda dealership couldn't fix my car without me having to pay an arm and a leg, these professionals got my car in and fixed it immediately without ripping me off! I will certainly bring my car back in the future and you should too if your having problems! Thanks Pete's Auto Parts!Service: Exhaust

I love Pete's. They are another local exhaust repair shop that has the ability to construct pipes. They are also reasonable and if they can't repair the problem, I have experienced them being very fair about charges with me.
