Can't say I'm happy with Albany Tire Service !\r \r I picked up a 'bolt' in one of my tires, and was losing\r air. I stopped into Albany Tire about 5:15 PM. The one \r guy that was still there said that they close at 5:30. So, \r I asked if I come back in the morning, would I need an \r appointment, he said NO. So, I asked how much a repair \r patch on my tire would be. . . and he said "IF IT NEEDS \r A SPECIALTY PATCH (eg: oversized) IT WILL COST $20."\r So, the next day I came back at 9 AM and a Service-manager \r came out to look at the tire w/clip-board-in-hand, and \r in an excited voice said "THIS TIRE IS CRACKED, YOU \r HAVE TO REPLACE IT". \r As I displayed my knowledge of hair-line side wall "Ozone-\r Checking" (eg: cosmetic cracking due to age; tire flexing & \r exposure to Sun-light.) and as calm as possible tried to \r explain to him that light-surface "Weather-Cracking" is \r normal in an aged-tire. And that there in NO BREAK-DOWN \r OF THE RUBBER SIDE WALL, AND THE 'PLY' IS SECURE & more

Owner Message

  • Albany Automotive & Tire Service was initially just a tire service, but shortly after expanded to provide complete automotive repair services as well. Albany Tire Service first opened for business in 1940. Over the more than 70 years we have been serving the local community, a lot has changed under the hoods of the cars we see. But one thing has remained constant: Our commitment to providing you with honest, high quality auto care services at reasonable prices. With nearly 100 years of combined automotive experience, our staff takes pride in the confidence and trust our customers and friends place in us. We service your vehicle as we would our families' vehicles, and we make recommendations the same way. After all, your satisfaction is our reputation! Ownership of Albany Tire Service has been held with pride between just three owners since 1940. The current owner has worked in the business for over 30 years (owner/operator since 1984), and has over 40 years of automotive experience.
