Dan and his team are patient, willing to explain what's needed and why. Questions are answered professionally and with courtesy. Honest and reasonable pricing. I'm very satisfied with the first rate service here and would visit again as needed.

Exceptional service. After calling over 5 other places located on Central Ave, LaBarge's was the only place who truly took the time to listen to my issue and we were able to resolve it very quickly. Had my rim repaired and was able to get the same tire I currently have on my other three wheels in three days after hitting a bad pothole. Very quick turn around for it being around the holidays and impressed with the results. Would definitely come back again and recommend to others.

Great place to have vehicles Maintained & Repaired or Parts Replaced. Great Nice Good People and Very Fairly Priced. Also they do their best to accommodate emergent issues if they can.

Came in today with an intermittent problem, a grinding sound when braking while reversing. They were able to narrow the issue down to it only occurring when the wheel was fully turned and discovered it was a bunch of the plastic shielding under the car rubbing against the wheel. They were able to screw a bunch of it down and only charged me $33 for the repair. It's not often you go into a shop expecting to pay hundreds and walk away only paying $33. I'll be bringing my cars to La Barge's in the future

Best service and experience I have ever had. Needed an inspection, a tire fixed, and an alignment and got all of that done for a great price at the decided appointment time with no extra wait like many other places would put you through while also being treated fair and respectfully by staff unlike anywhere else!!! My car is as good as new now and I’m sure to come back in the future and recommend these guys to anyone!

The ONLY place in Albany you should take your vehicle!!!! My trucks radiator completely broke on a friday headed to Albany for the weekend leaving me my wife and 2 year old son stranded on the thurway...spoke to dan friday before closing. Saturday morning he had a radiator en route to his shop and had my truck fixed 100% by 2 pm saturday. He and his guys stayed late to make sure me and my family could get back to Rochester as to not miss work monday. He was very very fair and honest in pricing, engaging in conversation, and understanding to my situation. If I lived in Albany i wouldnt take my vehicle anywhere else I cant thank you enough dan

Dan and his crew are some of the best mechanics in the Albany area. Highly recommend them for anything from an oil change to serious repair. What I like the most is Dan is always up front on repairs and cost. A 5 star rating just isnt enough.

Went in because I had a screw in my tire. They laid out the patch vs plug options for me (plug being cheaper) and then recommended the plug option due to the size and placement of the hole. Less than $20 and out in under 30 minutes. Definitely going to go back there for other tire needs.

Incredible customer service. I bought tires at Labarge a few weeks ago. Today I got a flat from a road hazard and brought my tire in to be repaired. I asked how much the repair would be and was told free today - just remember us next time you need tires.
