This is by far the fairest auto repair place in Altoona.

They also are very personable and genuinely care about their customers and obviously the cars they are working on. It is basically family run and operated, which makes sense when you think about how friendly they are. They are great for simple check-ups before long trips as well as any serious problems that may require ordering new parts. They will get you the best deal and the best quality- no matter the price. Just drop off your car, and more than likely you get it back the same day.

I went to this Meineke three days after I had my Catalatic Converter and Muffler done badly at a…read moreMeineke in NJ. Even though the Altoona Meineke has no real affiliation to the NJ Meineke, they offered to look at my car free of charge, and also said they could fix the rattling problem for free. When I asked them to change the muffler completely, they did so at a very low rate, and I know that it must have taken more than 1/2 an hour of time to do...so I believe they cut me a very good break. They guys are honest, and they do the job well. In fact, I was so pleased I asked them to do my alignment and wheel balancing the same day.

The mechanic who serviced my machine, prior to me taking it home, answered my questions and patiently showed me again how to run it. I love that they will service all equipment they sell in house, as well (unlike Lowe's or Home Depot!!). I'll definitely be back for my car inspection and any other auto repairs that I need. I highly recommend Blair Auto Service.

It's amazing that you can't find anybody these days to do there job. It's easier for these guys to make excuses why they can't or won't even try to do there job. Keep in mind I've done hundreds of alignments on factory trucks to lifted trucks etc. Always done on a lift smaller then the one they have. Only reason I can't do it my self this time around is because I'm out of state. Back home the guys at Firestone would be on it in mins and have me dialed in perfect. LAZY employees here. Save your self the trouble and find somewhere else.

I have been going to Reliable for many years without any problems. Always did good work...until…read morerecently. I had my vehicle in last Wednesday (7/15/26), for its inspection. When I scheduled the appointment on 7/10/26, I informed them that I thought the flex pipe on my exhaust was starting to fail, the girl at the desk said they would look at it. On the day of my inspection, I was told everything was fine..no problems. Fast forward to yesterday, 7/20/2026, I go outside to start my car up in the morning, and it was cooler. As I started it up, by the sound, there was definitely an exhaust leak, and it was, for sure, coming from the flex pipe. I called Reliable to schedule an appointment, and the same girl who was working the desk on my inspection day, answered. I explained that I just had my car there on 7/15/2026 for an inspection and that I had asked them to check the flex pipe and that I had been told everything was fine and they passed it, but now, a few days later, a failure of the flex pipe. The girl on the phone asked for my name and vehicle make and model. She quoted me $8,000 for a full exhaust replacement!!! Not $800, but $8,000, because, that's just what it costs now!! $8,000 for a 2021 Ford Ecosport. I get new exhausts for our Ford Transit 350 HD's at work for $1,700. Tell me you don't want to do the job, tell me you're too busy, but don't give me this line of BS!! The girl on the phone gave me the phone number for another company and told me to call them to have the work done. ​

I'm writing this to warn others, especially women, to stay far away from Monro Muffler in Altoona…read more(Pleasant Valley). I went in for a simple synthetic oil change, expecting to pay around $75-$100. Instead, I was pressured, misled, and overcharged $440 for services I did not consent to and that were not performed. They added on a bunch of services I didn't ask for. After the oil change, the technician told me my brake fluid was "contaminated" and that it wasn't safe to drive unless they replaced it. They even showed me a jar of what they claimed was my brake fluid, but I later realized they keep those jars on the counter as visual aids to pressure customers. Went home and the men in my family told me my brake fluid was fine (I'd just purchased the car recently and it was freshly inspected and had immaculate service records prior to purchase), and I'd been scammed. They also put on my bill that they changed my power steering fluid. They didn't get my consent to do that. Mechanics are also telling me it was impossible for them to properly change my brake fluid in the short time that I was there (even if they did properly do the change, it was still done fraudulently because they lied about needing it). Apparently I'm the only person who didn't know that these quick oil change places prey on women and straight up lie to them and add on expensive services they don't ask for. I felt bad disputing the extremely high bill, until I got home and the men in my life told me I had absolutely been scammed. I filed a chargeback, but they disputed it. They couldn't even take accountability for taking advantage of a woman. Those in the know will tell you, this is how Monro makes their money, by coercing unknowing women into grossly overpriced services they do not need. I will NEVER trust one of these places ever again. And the people at the Altoona Monro in particular are experts at lying and swindling. Don't even walk in here if you expect to leave with anything done right, or anything in your wallet. I encourage others to protect themselves by going to a reputable independent mechanic instead.

They didn't even take anything off the car to diagnose the situation. Will NEVER go here again and I suggest others do not either! If I could rate 0 stars I would. Even the tow truck driver said they are Rude when he dropped the car off for us. We aren't from the area as if we had been, probably would have taken it elsewhere to begin with!

Within the first month of ownership, my vehicle experienced a mechanical failure and was brought to…read moreBlue Knob immediately. They were unable to diagnose or repair the issue in-house and subsequently sent the vehicle to the nearest dealership. At the time, I was expected to work near Detroit, which became impossible due to the breakdown. I was provided a loaner vehicle--a Chevy Impala with worn tires during winter conditions--despite the possibility that I could be required to drive several hours on short notice. For several days, I received no updates regarding the status or location of my vehicle. After initiating multiple follow-ups, I was repeatedly told, "I don't know," until I escalated the issue to management. Matt, the manager, was professional and communicative and ultimately confirmed where the vehicle had been sent. I had a safe in the trunk of my vehicle containing valuable items. Unfortunately, I was unable to retrieve them because I was unaware of the vehicle's whereabouts. To avoid further delays, I personally contacted the dealership and received clear information within minutes--something Blue Knob had been unable to provide after multiple days. By that point, the condition of the loaner vehicle required new tires for basic safety during a 5-6 hour drive. Once my vehicle was finally repaired, I was still required to wait for Blue Knob to retrieve it before I could do the same. During my visit to the service center, I overheard staff making disrespectful remarks regarding my request for safe tires on the loaner vehicle, among other comments. I was also informed that I should not have contacted the dealership directly and instead should have waited 3-5 business days for updates through Blue Knob. While Blue Knob presents itself as highly corporate and professional, internal communication and customer treatment do not reflect those standards. Clients should be aware that concerns regarding safety and timely communication may be met with dismissal rather than support.
