Honestly, this place is a lifesaver—friendly as hell and they actually know what they’re talking about. No nonsense, just good service. ---

My serpentine belt was about to snap after 3.5 hours of driving, and I was already stressing about being stranded. But these guys saved me—had the part in stock, let me borrow their tools to swap it out right there in the lot, and even let me use their restroom to clean up before I hit the road again. Couldn’t have asked for a better fix. ---

Man, I’m so glad Albright’s is still around. I used to come here years ago when my girlfriend lived across the street from that little gas station that’s long gone now. Just moved back to the area, and walking in felt like coming home. The people are great, the prices are fair, and it’s nice to support a local spot that’s been around forever. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. ---

I could totally install parts myself, but why bother when these guys always offer to do it for me? Saves me time, and they do a solid job. I’ll keep coming back—no reason not to.

Went in during what should’ve been a busy time—three employees standing around, four of us waiting. No one seemed to care that we were there. Then some guy’s buddy walks in, and the employee *looks me right in the eye* and asks if I mind waiting while he helps his friend. I’d been standing there 5-10 minutes already, so I just left. The owner’s response to this review? Not an apology, not a fix—just mocking the complaint and offering a discount like that makes up for the bad service. Unbelievable. ---
