Auto Mechanic & Mechanical Repair in Castleton-on-Hudson & Valatie, NY

Brakes, suspension, engine, and drivetrain work at Schodack Auto and Eastern Collision.

THE WORK

Mechanical repair at Eastern Collision Group.

Two of our three locations are full-service repair shops as well as body shops: Schodack Auto in Castleton-on-Hudson, which has been doing mechanical work since 1980, and Eastern Collision in Valatie. Between them they cover brakes, suspension and steering, engine diagnostics and repair, cooling systems, exhaust, electrical faults and drivetrain work.

Being both a body shop and a mechanical shop matters more than it sounds after a collision. Impacts bend control arms, crack radiators and knock alignment out well beyond what is visible, and a shop that cannot diagnose the mechanical side either misses it or sends you somewhere else to find it. Here it gets caught during the same teardown.

It also means the shop that knows your car after an accident is the same one doing its brakes two years later — and you are talking to the same people either way.

FAQ

Questions we get about mechanical repair.

Which of your locations do mechanical work?
Schodack Auto in Castleton-on-Hudson and Eastern Collision in Valatie. Red Mill Auto in Rensselaer is a dedicated collision, frame and refinishing shop, so mechanical jobs go to one of the other two.
Can you handle both the bodywork and the mechanical repairs after a crash?
Yes, and at Schodack Auto and Eastern Collision it happens under one roof. Hidden mechanical damage gets found during the body teardown instead of after you have already picked the car up.
