Amazing service, was able to fix car same day in a very short amount of time. Price to fix was way lower than other places and the car is running great! The mechanic I saw was extremely kind and explained what he was doing and how to fix other issues very well. He was able to figure out what was wrong even though the cars OBC port wasn’t working to give him the diagnostic. 10/10 definitely recommend

Talking about a true diamond hidden in the rough; or maybe just in plain sight and not taken advantage of. This guy completely helped me restore my car within seven days. Was on time and accurate with diagnostics. Upfront honest, good sense of humor and I will continue to visit this shop when necessary.

I took the recommendation of a friend and took my Subaru Forester to Thanos at Alban Auto Repair. (I have had that car in an out of more than one repair shop and spent thousands of dollars in the last 9 months. The final straw was when I had my battery replaced and they told me that I required more repairs at over $2,000.) I took my car to Alban, for a 2nd (really a 3rd) opinion, as well as to get an opinion on whether it was worth it to hang onto this car.Within 5 minutes of getting my car up, Thanos was able to1.) Verify that the car did need additional work2.) point out an obvious other issue that should have been apparent to anyone...even I could see it and3.) Kindly let me know that it was probably time to retire my car.He went further to tell me what my car would be worth at auction, if he were to purchase it from me.When I asked how much I owed him for checking the car out, he did not charge me a cent! Every time I took it to one of the other two places, I was charged a (pretty steep) diagnostics fee!I thanked him and told him that I was going to look for a new car. He asked me what I was looking for and said he would keep his eyes out for me.The whole reason I had been going to the dealership is that I really needed the loaner car. As far as Im concerned, if I need any work on my new car, I am likely to use Thanos. He was kind, pleasant, professional and NOT out to get my money. What a breath of fresh air!

Friendly man, locally owned, and quick turn around! I just showed up with what I was told by AutoZone was an alternator issue and he immediately diagnosed it as simply the battery (am obviously cheaper fix).

Thanas is an honest working man! He’s so kind and trustworthy unlike a lot of car salesmen. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a vehicle or needing repairs! Prices are fair, and I would (will) go back to him for any future purchases or repairs!

Alban auto is phenomenal! I dropped my car off at 6pm for a repair and he called me at 7pm to let me know that all went well and I could pick up my car at any time. Plus, his prices are so reasonable and his customer service goes above and beyond. I definitely recommend!

Great shop. Alban is always very kind and helpful. Means a lot to me as a college-aged woman that I can come alone to this auto shop and feel secure that I am receiving quality and fair service!

Alban is a good man who wants to run a fair business. He ordered and replaced my oxygen sensor within 6 hours of dropping off my car.

Review №13

I bought a used 2008 Forester from Thanas and it was a very good price. He even addressed some concerns I had after the purchase. Hes honest, thoughtful (messaged me right as I got home asking me how my ride was), hard working (bends over backwards to keep his customers happy), and beyond fair! Dont hesitate to trust him with your vehicle purchase and maintenance. Thanas is a great guy!

I have take my vehicle here two times for repair and have nothing but great experiences. The owner does all of his work in a timely fashion and both times I have dropped my car off and received it later in the day. He cares about his customers and the quality of work he puts in..very competitive prices and typicallymuch less than dealers or other body shops... he will continue to be my go to mechanic in the area. Nice work!!

I have had plenty of work done to my Dodge Ram 1500 at Alban automotive. He is a great worker. I got a tune up, new brake pads, oil change, new rotors, calipers, and fixed my annoying engine light. My truck has never drived so well. He diagnoses my truck quick and he always gets me back on the road in a timely manner. Being a firefighter He worked with my crazy schedule and he always works with integrity. There is never hidden repairs and never do I get hit with unjustly costs. The most honest and intelligent mechanic in town. He is also very good on your wallet. I strongly recommend his services.

Review №23

This was the first time I have ever had work done on my car. I pulled up to the shop and the friendly owner/mechanic, Thanas, was very quick to diagnose the problem. Thomas knew exactly what needed to be done and didn’t hesitate in the slightest.Thanas was able to get me back on the road in a very timely manner. If you are looking for a place to get work done by a knowledgeable mechanic, at a reasonable price, I would chose Albans Auto Repairs

My car unexpectedly stopped running days before I had to drive hundreds of miles for a military obligation, so I needed it fixed short notice and couldnt wait days for a repair. I called this shop and the owner told me to bring it up and he would see what he could do. He had my car fixed and I was on my way within a couple of hours. He worked with me on the price as well. I would return here for any other repairs I need in the future.
