Dutchess County Auto Repair Inc.

Great place one of the honest places I have ever been too. I had to replace / fix the y exhaust pipe one mechanic had wanted 539$..I was recommended this place by my friend and left the vehicle. They fixed the problem topped off all the liquids and charged me 175$.. one of the honest person I have ever met in this day and age. Definitely a keeper thank you sal 🙏

I stopped here on April 24, 2026 during my lunch break (around 3pm). I explicitly stated that I just wanted them to do the NYS car inspection, and that I do not want them to put it up the lift nor check if there’s anything wrong with the car. I had already taken it early that month to a shop, so I knew nothing was wrong. The mechanic, Saleh Hijazeen, took my keys and quickly put it up a lift and told me about all these “problems” my car was having. I told him I didn’t want it up a lift and asked if these “repairs needed” were taken into consideration for the inspection (I knew they weren’t). They said that unless I made those repairs (which they quoted me would be over $800, when usually it’s approx $400), they won’t do the inspection. I told them I had to go back to work. They said that they wouldn’t give me my car until I paid $25 for the lift - THE EXACT THING I SAID I DIDNT NEED. They refused to give me the keys or let me leave the premises until I paid those $25. Mind you, an inspection only costs $21. They made me pay via Venmo, but they wanted me to pay in cash first. This place is a scam. If you’re a young, woman alone, I suggest you stay away from this place. They clearly are just trying to take advantage of the situation and get money. Not an honest place nor personnel running this location. IF I COULD, I WOULD GIVE IT ZERO STARS!

I will never be returning after my experience dealing with this shop. My mom discussed an arranged price with the owner of 100$ the day before I get there. The next day he adds another 135 on top of the original price. I 100% believe it was because I am A man. The work in my opinion was worst when I left shop than before I got there. When I brought the vehicle back to be reinspected he declined and refused to give the money back. I had to then go to another shop to see if they can fix it. Morale of the story I hope everyone reads this with the realization of what type of people you’re dealing with. Do not bring your car to this shop

Just like everyone else says, this guy is a scam!! Go elsewhere. Again like everyone else, brought my car in for inspection and said I needed 1k worth of work to pass for inspection and that’s a lie, then tried to get a down payment from me lol. I told him no, went to pay the $21 and gave him $25 and didn’t want to give me change, first said he helped me out which is hilarious, secondly didn’t have change and lastly said his credit card machine was broken. Guy is a joke and should be shut down! Please go somewhere else!!

Brought my car here for an inspection on a weekend. Called and asked if someone could do an inspection. They said the owner would be back in ten minutes to do it. Bring it in. I brought it in and waited almost an hour. They put it on a lift. They then told me I needed wipers. I didn’t see them test the wipers and asked how they knew (my wipers were top of the line, less than a year old, and worked perfectly fine so I knew I didn’t need wipers). He said he did “the water test.” I asked him to take the car down and I would buy wipers and bring it back. He said there would be a $25 charge to take it off the lift. What?? He said there would be no charge for taking it off the lift if I bought the wipers there. Left me no choice! (I should’ve called the police). They charged me top of the line price for bottom of the line wipers. I asked for my old wipers. Tried to watch him like a hawk but he stepped behind a pillar. When I got my blades back, they were sliced. My “inspection” cost me over $70. Total RIP OFF. DO NOT GET AN INSPECTION HERE. DISHONEST PRACTICES!!
