An orange classic beetle in the busy workshop

Every make, every decade — this one’s a regular.

The menu

Eight things we do every day, priced up front. Not sure which one you need? Describe the noise — we’re good at noises.

Brakes

Pads, rotors, calipers and lines. We measure first, show you the old parts, and stand behind the job for two years.

Pads from $169 an axle

Tires & alignment

Tires for every budget, mounted and balanced, and a four-wheel alignment that keeps them wearing evenly.

Alignment $99

Tune-ups & engine care

Plugs, filters, belts and a good listen. Rough idle, thirsty engines and hard starts, sorted properly.

From $189

NYS inspections

New York State inspections while you wait, with a straight answer — and a fair price — if anything fails.

$21 · about 30 min

Oil changes

Conventional, blend or full synthetic, a new filter and a thirty-point look-over while it drains. Coffee’s on.

From $59

Exhaust & mufflers

Rattles, roars and pipes rusted through. Mufflers, pipes and hangers replaced and welded right here.

From $149

Heating & A/C

A leak test and recharge for summer; heater cores, thermostats and blend doors for Catskill winters.

A/C recharge $149

Classic & vintage care

Carburetors, points and drum brakes are still welcome. Our founder worked on these new; we still know them.

Our story

Same corner. Three generations.

A technician fitting a tire, in black and white — The early days on Route 9W.

1974
Two bays on Route 9W
Frank DeLuca opens with two lifts, a coffee pot and a handshake price on everything.
1989
The inspection lane
A third bay and New York State inspections, so neighbours could get it all done in one stop.
2008
Sal takes the keys
Frank’s son adds diagnostics and computers — and keeps the handshake.
2026
Third generation
Nick joins the bays. Same corner, same coffee, cars from 1964 to this year’s.

Sal could have sold me a whole exhaust. Instead he welded a hanger, charged me forty bucks and told me to come back when it actually needs one.

Three generations of my family have brought cars here. They still remember my dad’s Impala.

Ken got my ’72 Beetle idling smoothly for the first time in years. Nobody else in the valley would touch a carburetor.

Inspection and an oil change while I had a coffee. In and out in forty minutes, with a printed list of what to watch for.

The family

The folks behind the counter.

Sal DeLuca

Owner · second generation · ASE Master Technician

Grew up sweeping these bays. Sal still road-tests every brake job himself and answers the phone when he can.

Ken Morita

Master technician since 1988

The carburetor whisperer. Ken looks after the classics and the tricky electrical jobs, and never rushes either.

Nick DeLuca

Third generation · ASE certified

Runs the tire machine, the alignment rack and the inspection lane — and the shop’s new online booking.

Questions

You asked, we answered.

Do I need an appointment?

For oil changes and inspections, just come by — we take walk-ins all day. For anything bigger, booking means a bay is waiting for you.

Will you call before doing anything extra?

Always. You get a call with a plain-English explanation and a price, and nothing is done until you say yes.

Do you work on older and classic cars?

We love them. Carburetors, points, drum brakes and all — Ken has been working on them since the eighties.

What does your warranty cover?

Parts and labor on our repairs for 24 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Will servicing here affect my new-car warranty?

No. You can have your car maintained at any qualified shop. We follow your manufacturer’s schedule and keep every record.

Can I wait while you work?

Sure — coffee’s on and the Wi-Fi works. For longer jobs, our shuttle will run you anywhere in Kingston.
