I had an issue with tire pressure sensors. My car was brought in right away, the sensors replaced and I was on the road within the hour. They even gave me a discount for having more than one done. Nice guys, great service.

I called this place for an alignment, and I’m really glad I did. The representative ( Jordan) was extremely helpful and knew exactly what he’s talking about. I had previously gone to Firestone, paid for an alignment, and the car still wasn’t straight. When I went back, they refused to redo it and tried to tell me I needed nearly $1,000 worth of parts.
This place was the complete opposite — honest, professional, and skilled. They checked my car, showed me exactly where the alignment was off, and fixed it the right way. No games, no upselling, just real mechanics who know what they’re doing.
I’m glad I found this location, and I will definitely recommend them to everyone. Excellent service!

Always been a fan of this place, but last week I went in for an oil change. About 20 minutes after leaving, my oil light went on and I returned to get it checked out. They checked it out and said most likely it was just the light hadn't been reset. I assume they would have used the dip stick to check oil levels.
I then left again and about 15 miles later light went on again, and I stopped by another shop I was near. There was apparently very low oil levels and no leak. They then thankfully did the oil change for free. But, I was very surprised as this shop has always been great. This is serious enough that I felt I had to leave a review.

Team is awesome. Was in and out on my lunch break (30min) with the best diagnostic diagnosis. They are extremely efficient and people oriented. 10/10 will be coming back if I need any work done.

I recently got an oil change at mavis discount tire in Utica NY, and I travel to Albany for work. I noticed an oil leak about a quart worth. I brought the car into this location, and they noticed a problem with a Washer and the gasket. Fixed my oil leak issue right away. Very grateful for Mike for all his help, and the mechanic who fixed the issue. The vehicle was clean, they made sure there was no oil leaking from anywhere before I left. The guys did a fantastic job. I brought my car to this location before and they always do a stellar job.
