Auto repair that comes to you in Albany
Getting a car to a shop in Albany usually means taking time off, finding a ride back and doing it all again at pickup. Upshift Mobile Mechanics does the work where your vehicle already is: in your driveway, or in the lot at your office while you're at work.
We work across the city, from Pine Hills and Center Square to Delaware Avenue and New Scotland, and in neighboring Colonie, Latham, Guilderland and East Greenbush.
Some Albany streets only have on-street parking. We need adequate, safe space to work around the vehicle, so if you park on the street, tell us when you book. We'll work out whether your spot will do, or whether a lot at your workplace is the better option.

Your vehicle, the problem and where it's parked. Book online, call or text. You can text us photos of warning lights, too.
Get a clear quote
If we can price it accurately, you get an upfront quote. If it needs a look first, we book a diagnostic visit instead of guessing.
We come to you
We show up at the scheduled time and do the work right where your vehicle is parked, at home or at work, so you can get on with your day.

Reviews
What customers say.
★★★★★
Excellent service and experience! Upshift provided a very efficient and professional experience. They showed up on time, performed outstanding work, and best of all, saved me hours of sitting in a waiting area. I never had to leave home!
★★★★★
Brilliant! Being able to have car service performed at MY convenient location is just wonderful! I imagine that many of us have had to drop our cars off, figure out rides or sit for HOURS waiting for our car service to be done (I have...). Not so with UPSHIFT! They'll come to my house, or my office, or... wherever is convenient, and do the work while I continue doing what I need to or want to do. No more hours wasted sitting in a waiting room. No more trying to figure out how to get a ride...
★★★★★
Great service and smooth arrangements, payments, messaging for reminders and other contacts, and excellent web presence. I'll definitely call on them again for further remote maintenance.
★★★★★
Super easy and convenient to book. It’s so nice to not have to sit in a mechanic shop and to get car maintenance done from the comfort of my own home!
Albany: common questions
Still unsure? Call or text (518) 888-7497 and a real person will answer.
Do you charge extra to come to Albany?
No. There's no travel fee anywhere in our service area, and Albany is part of it.
I only have street parking. Can you still do the work?
Sometimes. It depends on the street and the job, because we need adequate, safe space to work around the vehicle. Tell us where you park when you book and we'll let you know.
Can you work on my car while I'm at work?
Yes, as long as your employer or the property owner allows it and there's adequate, safe space in the lot. Many customers book that way so the car is ready when they leave.
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. You can send a request any time, and we'll reply during business hours.
