Very friendly, hard working people who provide an easy going car shop experience. No upselling like stealerships, they get the job done in the most professional way possible. Will be going back for car needs while in Albany.

Everyone I talked to in Center Square when I moved here recommended Dunbrook, and I’ve been so happy they did. The guys there are friendly, helpful, and they are also funny. More importantly, they are excellent at what they do, are honest, quick, and do their best to minimize repair costs.

Luckily I live right down the street from Dunbrook, so it’s extremely convenient for me. The team is quick, knowledagble and the prices are reasonable. The fact that the gas station is open 24 hours is also extremely convenient because you can basically drop off and pick up your car whenever you have time to. No other place I go to in Albany when I need an oil change, maintenance or inspections for my car!

Ive been working here for almost 9 yrs now, that has to say something in itself. Before i worked here i used to be a customer. I always enjoyed coming in and being entertained by the boys. I have never had my car serviced anywhere else except for here since then. They do good honest work and go out of their way in some cases when ppl really need help. This is not your average run of the mill garage/​gas station, be prepared to be entertained!

I’ve had an inspection done there a couple of times and it was fine. The other bonus is that they’re open 24⁄7 so you can pick up/​drop off any time. My one complaint is that they don’t call you when they’re done. Weird. They did that to me both times and I ended up calling the day after it was supposed to be ready to find out what was taking so long. The second time it happened I politely asked why they hadn’t called to let me know it was ready, and the answer from the attendant after he asked a service guy was «I don’t know. Sorry about that. Why, were they supposed to call?» Um, yeah. I kind of need to know when my car is ready. Strange.

I have used this place several times and recommened to many people who were all happy with their service.
The thing I like the most about the place is they can tell you what is wrong with your car, they don’t just randomly swap out parts.
You have to make an apointment with them but I have always been happy with their ability to fix my car. They have test equipment to figure out what is wrong.
They have a «smoke machine» to find vacum leaks (if your check engine light is on and no one can tell you why) for example.
Some people I sent to the place had cars that stalled and no other shop could figure out why. They fixed it at a resonable price the first time.
If you want a place with «real» mechanics I recommend them.

I have been doing business with the «brothers» for over 20 years. One very, snowy winter day, I had a flat tire on lower Hamilton Street. They were so nice, changed the tire, told me to «get on my way» since I was going to give a presentation in Hudson, and said
«stop in later» and pay. They have always been willing to help, in great humor, despite how busy they are. They’re t he best!
Ps going to pick up my car right now

When I was new to driving, one of the Dunbrook brothers answered my phonecall in his towtruck. After solving my car problem, he generously said, «No charge.» So I became a customer, if not buying gas, buying cigarettes and coffee early in the morning on the way to work. Sometimes minor repairs would be done by women working in the station. Rox took her car here all the time, for major and minor work, and loved them.
Dunbrook Mobil does not have a staff, it’s more like a cast. Through repeated visits, you get to know them, and the pleasant quirkiness of the business ameliorates the cost of gasoline a bit.
