The team was really great, friendly and got my car in and out promptly & within their estimated time for the service. Had brakes, tire install, and alignment done, pricing was pretty competitive as a package. I would recommend this location as well as another in the area that I have been to. The waiting rooms in this and all Monro locations are pretty lousy, though not a lot we can do about that unless the corporate management some investment there, which is unlikely. Anyway, as an auto repair shop for many common maintenance and repair items, Monro has always been a good bet for me.

They'll charge taxes on Groupon vouchers. To avoid just call and make a price match for the amount of the Groupon, it's a win for you and for the stores sales quota. They also have a great team. I will return.

Starting off with the Tony, amazing mechanic. The customer service, and hands on service goes through the roof with this guy. He always knows how to take care of a customer, and even gives them a clear example of what's wrong with the car by showing and explaining clearly to the customer. This place is truly a remarkable establishment with amazing team as well that goes with Monro Auto Service. You visit this place you won't be disappointed with the results or outcome, because this team is always there to help and satisfy the customer in anyway with a helping hand.

I recently visited Monro Auto Service and Tire Center to address a seized wheel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They replaced my rotors and brake pads, and their work was absolutely top-notch. What stood out the most was their incredible flexibility with pricing—they worked with my budget without sacrificing quality. The team was professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure my car was in great shape. I highly recommend Monro for anyone in need of reliable, affordable, and expert auto services. Great work!

NASCAR STYLE AUTO SERVICE AND CARE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT 👍👍👍👍👍 Stopped in to get an quote on repair for the vehicle my Wife drives. Was greeted by the staff and may I say they are among the most COOLEST PEOPLE I have met. They took her vehicle in gave a very precise inspection of her vehicle, brakes, rear control arm, shocks, alingment ( which they take a very precise with), etc basic upcare for a 2014 Honda Pilot. I was quoted a very decent price and set up an appointmemt for the next day early and the Technician that worked on the vehicle reminded me of a family member that focused on work but yet would share the "knowledge" and yes I have heard the "horror stories" of commercial auto care centers, but this was not the case here, every auto Technician while I was sitting there( I'm disabled so they took the time to keep an eye out on me) they were very courteous and respectful to each customer that walked in. And I noticed the teamwork, let me repeat that.... THE TEAMWORK 🏆 that makes a business very successful and also the most "OCD" customer will notice how they all work very well together. And they will talk with you about any repairs that are needed and future repairs to keep an eye out for just in case you have what some of us have, a budget. Again they talk with you not down to you. Now I stated NASCAR STYLE AUTO SERVICE AND CARE, and that is how they go about their workflow, now as a person that has lived down south NASCAR is HUGE ( as Billy Fuccillo (RIP to the Legend) would say ), so to keep it honest, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SHOUTOUT (yes I'm that old 🤣) to the CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM... Lalas, Tony, Marcello, Anthony, Sloan, Kevin. The Monro Team 🏆 My Wife is very happy with the QUALITY REPAIR WORK 👍 Thank you all for being real, the cool conversations, the laughs, and the JBL speaker playing the tunes🔊 and OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AUTO REPAIR 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

DO NOT COME HERE FOR INSPECTION My wife took her car here with 30k miles (bought from dealer btw) over here and they tell her that the threads are low and she needs 2 new front tires. They will scam you with some bs especially if you re a girl. Telling someone they need new tires when they only have 30k miles is some type of joke.

This morning 04/03/25 I went to do my state inspection on my car at 980 Central Ave Albany and it was denied due to an accusation that the parking brake is defective and when I took it to a mechanic to check it, there was no problem and I went back to ask for an explanation they treated me badly and took the sheet I gave them to look at and threw the paper in my face and said it was not their problem if I lost my day of work, I have videos to prove it, I am very disappointed with this company, Be very careful when taking your car for inspection because they charge more than 300 to fix something that wasnt broken and when I went to complain they threw the paper in my face

Im from Massachusetts and got a flat tire on my way home from work at 3:30. I drive a flex car and they only deal with pep boys in Albany because maintenance is included. Hower pep boys were not able to help, not even with putting our donut on. We were stranded in Albany! The two guys next door at Monroe saved our lives that night, put on our donut and we got home safe, we are so grateful! Thank you!!!

I do try my best to be nice. Maybe too nice but its getting harder and harder. Lets just say if you go here your not getting out until they take your money even if its just to say they did something when they dont. My fiasco began with a damn groupon for a wheel alignment. Its just to get you in there. Id recommend Warren tire on Route 7 in Latham. More integrity and more competent. I like the guts here but Im 99% sure that I was charged 300.00 for an inspection sticker. They said it was to adjust the brake cable but its just sagging underneath. For some reason though. Ive lost 3 miles to the gallon. Thats concerning. Hey; what the hell doesnt money grow on trees. Also; they ate affiliated with Mr. TIRE. You wont do very good there either but they will get your money. Stay clear. Its all sales poor work and no integrity. But hey; thats just my opinion. Go to Warren. They have a heart there

On 12/20/24 my car broke down near Monro . Brandon was super helpful navigating the car through heavy traffic to the shop. Battery, an alternator and belt were installed for $ 1,517. before taxes. The explanation for the high cost was mark up on parts. Monro doubles what they buy parts for, so beware. Alternator charge was, $789 and battery $250.

I usually take my car to Guilderland Monro, but they told me their inspection machine was out of order, so I brought my car to this Monro location. After a brief look at my car, they said that the ball joint on the upper left fork, which I had replaced three months ago at Guilderland Monro, was broken and needed to be replaced entirely. They also claimed my front brakes were worn out, so my car couldn t pass inspection. They tried to give me a bill for $1200. I explained that the part was recently replaced and couldn t be broken, and asked them to check my service records. After that, they reduced the price and tried to charge me $1000, telling me they called Guilderland Monro but the manager there wouldn t share my information, so I d have to go there to get it myself. As I was leaving, they made a strange comment, saying, Please don t take it personally, I don t know the manager at Guilderland, not sure why he didn t share your information. I went to Guilderland Monro, got my past service records in 10 seconds , and then took my car to another shop Hackel s. I told the mechanic there what happened. He put my car on the lift, checked the supposedly broken part, and tightened a loose nut in three seconds. Magically, the part was no longer broken. This mechanic saved me from getting scammed out of $1200 by Monro. I don t remember the name of the Monro employee who tried to do this, but he was an African American male, about 5 10 feet tall, with an afro hairstyle.

Customer service is varied. My only complaint is I had a coupon for a $40.00 oil change. Because the staff member was not versed enough in using a computer he didnt know how to give me credit for the coupon, and the manager was out having breakfast!. So instead of paying $40 for an oil change I was charged $87.

06/21/2024 update: AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Tried to scam me $700+ for services they did not perform. i made an appointment to drop my car off on Tuesday, 6/18 to get my AC system fixed and an alignment/tire rotation. On 06/20, I call and Tony tells me that their AC machine doesn t work and he could take the car to a different shop to get it fixed and gave me a quote of ~$300. On 6/21, I call and they say it ll be ready for pick up by end of the day. I show up and they try to charge me more than twice the amount quoted. After I question the charges, they show me a list of repairs I did not agree to. After a second call to the technician or someone, they just give me my key back and tell me NONE of the things quoted or asked for have been done. This shop tried to charge me almost a grand for services they did not complete and did not have the courtesy to at least call and tell me that the service I asked for was not available. I wasted three days leaving my car here when I could ve had the work done elsewhere, had this shop been honest. OLD REVIEW: I am very happy with the level of care this team showed to my concerns about my vehicle. They were able to get me in without an appointment. They checked everything I was concerned about and went above and beyond the expectations. I really appreciate the transparency they provided. I will be returning to this location for future vehicle maintenance. Thank you!

I am extremely surprised, in a very unfortunate way, that this particular auto shop is even allowed to represent the Monro brand, because I have only had positive impressions and experiences at other Monro auto service shops in the past. There is no other way to describe my experience here other than to say that this place is a very shady scam operation, because of their extremely poor business ethics. If youre thinking about fixing your car at this place, beware that you might just get scammed, particularly by the manager named Tony who neither seem to know nor care about what they are supposed to be doing under the Monro auto service brand. The experience here that completely shattered any and all prior positive impressions that I had about Monro began when I walked into their shop shortly before 12 pm on Friday 5/17 for help, because my car had shut down completely on its own while it was still being driven nearby, incidentally. The responding technician whose name is Jeremy seemed professional and helpful when he came out to jumpstart my car in order to bring it into their shop. But that turned out to be the only bright spot of the overall experience. From that point onward, the series of extremely unfortunate events included the misdiagnosis and wrongful replacement of parts which, despite costing more than $1,300, not only failed to fix the main problem that the car went into this shop with but also caused apparent new problems, in particular to the handling of the steering wheel, because a mysterious loud screeching noise started to appear seemingly from somewhere in the steering column every time when I turned the steering wheel only after I had left their shop that evening. To make matters even worse on top of it all, the unprofessional and shady behavior of Tony the manager, who together with Marcellus refused to even issue a refund in handling the consequence of their misdiagnosis and misreplacement of parts, proved to be the final nail in the coffin that completely lost my trust in Monro being capable of having competent and honest people upholding the reputation of its brand name. When I called on Friday evening and then again the next morning in attempts to resolve this amicably, the manager hid from me, and instead pushed his staff Marcellus to the fore to hem and haw for him. When Marcellus questioned the fact that my car had even shut down when being driven on highway I-90, while still in the vicinity of Albany, and had to be towed from roadside soon after I had left their shop Friday evening, I repeatedly offered to prove it to them by sending them a copy of my towing receipt as evidence. But strangely, he kept refusing my offer to send them the evidence. In response to even my requests to speak directly to the manager, Marcellus kept deflecting, even though he promised by the end of the call that the manager would return my call on the same day. He never did, even nearly 3 days later as of this writing. Even while on the phone, after the unbelievably bad outcome from the so-called service that I had received at this place and the managers unprofessional, discourteous, disrespectful, and irresponsible attitude towards handling my initial complaint and attempt to resolve the outcome in an amicable way, they had lost my trust. I let him know that I was not comfortable taking the risk of letting them touch my car anymore, and would need to take my car to another place that is more familiar with how to diagnose and fix my Acura. My understanding has always been that a manager represents not only himself, but more importantly his entire team and the company whose brand name is on the shop. How could any company win and maintain trust and confidence from the public when the manager it selected to lead its store runs away from even directly communicating with customers to address their complaints, hems and haws to evade accountability together with his crew, and shows such jarring lack of professionalism, respect, responsibility, and leadership?

Five s basically never come from me. Here is why Monro Auto Service and Tire Center in Albany , NY, specifically the manager Tony C and the Master Technician Josh. I met Tony C yesterday, and he told me is background. He mentioned Firestone, who I have a long positive history with back in my home state. He knew Firestone regional management who I know. A good start. Tony C is polite, courteous, friendly, up front, honest and helpful. Josh is humble when it comes to his technical ability and knowledge. A true sign of a master. He figured out the problem with my car just from me explaining in detail what was join on. Tony C and Josh are going above and beyond. The part that is needed to fix my car will not be delivered until early tomorrow morning. Knowing I need to be 90 minutes east of Albany before noon tomorrow (Saturday) they ve are going in early so they are there before the part is and get the car finished in time fire me to get where I need to go. I forgot the other technician name. His dumb idea worked to get my car that was not running and would not shift into neutral into the repair bay. As I told him, sometimes dumb works. I have found my new auto repair shop.

This is the best monro location in the Albany area. The staff is really great and helpful

March 19, 2024

Absolutely unprofessional. I was told that I had to leave my car for inspection for a day even though I had an appointment. Then, while I was discussing why that wasnt told while getting the appointment, one of the workers just said have a great day and get out very rudely. While I was leaving he also asked other customers who are waiting if anyone else wants to have them hard time. I would just suggest look for another place where you can get professional service.

They dont understand how an appointment works. Made an appointment for an inspection, which takes like 15 mins. They asked us to leave the car for the WHOLE DAY. They were very rude and pretended like we were at fault for this. They never mentioned this when we were making the appointment (otherwise we would go to another place or come prepared). Dont trust this place. I would never go back.

I wish I could give negative rating. I called up and took an appointment for tire swap and initially I was told that the work will be done as soon as I drop the vehicle. Then they said there are two vehicles ahead and mine will be done in two hours time. After waiting for 6 hours I called up and asked for the estimated time. My car still not been attended. Just for asking the estimated time, the manager of this place asked me to take my car without doing the work. Such an unprofessional attitude and they don t care for their customers. Avoid this place like plague.

I came in to make an appointment and to my surprise I was able to get my car in immediately!!! While I was briefly waiting to be served, I observed a new staff member training. IMPRESSIVE!!! He was intently concentrating despite background noise from customers!! Now THATS the kind of mechanic I want to work on my car. Then I believe the manager,Tony, was the person who helped me. He has great customer service skills and he operates with integrity!! Ive been around long enough to know how easy it is for some shops to take advantage of a female senior citizen!! NOT the case here! Ive always chosen Munroe for oil changes and brakes and after my experience here today, that will not change.
