Kaddo Auto Sales

I have owned two used cars and have been going to kaddo’s for a few years now. Every single time the issues I were having had been diagnosed correctly and fixed perfectly (I have never had to come back for the same issue twice). What’s more, you receive some very useful tips on maintaining a car as old as mine (2000 & 2002 Toyota Corolla) every time you visit! Also, if you are planning to buy a used car, definitely stop by for a quick diagnostic… Mike’s a genius in this and will give you great feedback to take back to the dealer/​owner. The services are extremely efficient, fast and very courteous and the price is way more reasonable than you would imagine. There’s a reason why there are so many great reviews of this place in Unilocal after all!

I just had a fantastic experience at Kaddos. I was trying to pass NY state inspection for my vehicle and the diagnostic codes didn’t show up on my car. I called several places that sighed and said «oh its your computer system, that’s gonna cost you $ 1200» or I can get to it in two weeks and I charge $ 150 to tell you what’s wrong. Mike Kaddo immediately said on the phone, «a VW? Do you have an after market radio? That’s the problem.» He took out my radio free of charge the same day and the computer worked fine. I passed inspection.
I ended up getting a proper VW radio from him after that, and he only charged me the cost of a used unit and $ 20 for labor.
Outstanding service and I am so grateful to have found a beyond reasonable problem solver like Kaddo. Plus he is funny and down to earth, and let me watch him work and explained what he was doing so I better understood how the car worked. He is delightful and knows his stuff!

To be perfectly honest, I was somewhat wary of the stellar reviews for this place. I’m now glad I took the chance.
Not only were these guys fast and highly competent, but also they were very reasonably priced.

I just got my car back today from this shop. I was very nervous about finding a good mechanic, and decided to look around on Unilocal.I don’t trust just anyone with my car, and decided to go with this one based on the other great reviews here. Turns out the other reviews are exactly right; Mike is the best mechanic ever. I cannot say enough good things about him; he is honest, fair and incredibly knowledgeable. He listened to my car and correctly diagnosed it in under a minute! He wants to earn your business for years to come and treats you as such. My now five year old car with more than 86,000 miles on it is running like it was when I bought it brand new. His price was very reasonable, including the labor rate and he gave me a discount on an upgraded oil change. He is kind, very thorough and knows everything there is to know about both American and German cars. If you need a new mechanic, call Mike. Seriously. Go. Right now. You will not regret it!

He is such an expert in German cars, figured out the problem of my car in one minute. He also fixed a serious problem of my friend’s car which was ignored by dealer. A responsible and humorous man, and I love his cute dog!

Best mechanic ever. Not a con man.
He’s the only guy who ever worked on my car that I didn’t feel was taking advantage of my ignorance.
He gets it done fast & with fair price. ONLY HONEST MECHANIC IN CAPITALAND, maybe the whole USA!
very convenient to RPI campus too.
if you have to get your ride serviced, this is as good as it gets.

Kaddo is the man. I’ve been bringing my cars to him for 10 years. He knows everything there is to know about European cars and he’s honest. His estimates are always spot on and he explains everything he did or needs to do very clearly. He’s also hysterical.

I have been going to Kaddo for 10 years since I arrived in Troy. He is always honest and does the most quality work that a mechanic can possibly do. He is a character too and always is good for a laugh.
