Service as always is prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. Not that long ago we were heading to Missouri when our serpentine belt broke near Reading. Our car was towed to Albitz and we were back on the road that same day

Great auto repair shop. Brought my suv in for brakes and oil change. The dealer service center had said I needed new brakes. Albitz checked them out and said I still have a good year left on them. Really appreciate the honesty. They completed an oil change. Highly recommend if you're looking for an auto repair shop that cares about its customers.

I've been taking my cars here for over 30 years ( they've been open since the 1920's) they always do an outstanding job. If you want it done right the first time at a reasonable cost, this is the place to get your car or truck serviced.
