Auto repair that comes to you in Schenectady
Whether you're in the Stockade, Mont Pleasant, Bellevue or Woodlawn, we bring the tools and parts to you. We also cover neighboring Niskayuna and Rotterdam.
If you commute out of Schenectady every day, the easiest time to service your car is while it's sitting in a parking lot. We can do the work at your workplace, as long as the property allows it and there's adequate, safe space.
Capital Region winters are hard on batteries. If your car has been slow to start on cold mornings, a battery and charging-system test now is easier than a no-start later.

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!
