It's a local / family business and you'll be served kindly. Small note they may not accept car drop off due to vehicle space.

I had my driver side door replaced a few years back by this shop after getting t-boned. So when I…read morefound a replacement door (and hood, which only requires 4 screws to replace since the hinges stay intact) which matched my car's color, I excitedly called them back to see if they could do a swap for me again. I ended up having to call 3 times until I was able to speak with the owner Vahe (sp? ; I'm not sure if he's related to Raj, the previous owner apparently) who refused to give me an estimate over the phone and said he had to 'plug it into my estimate software.' After some additional quibbling, he finally told me that it would probably cost around $600-700 dollars. This amount of money for a simple door and hood swap is ridiculous! It's something I could do on my own time but I just don't live in a place that allows for mechanic work (apartment complex) or access to all the tools. I recall Raj was way nicer and professional about it rather than trying to sound like a used car salesman and sleaze their way into bringing my car to the shop (I would have to ask a friend to bring the spare parts to be swapped since they don't fit in my car, at which point would be difficult to decline the job). Really, really disappointed and I don't think I can recommend this place again. *Update* Very interesting that the owner chose to respond so quickly upon my updated review. Their claim was factually false, as reasons to bring in my car were never discussed over the phone and he repeatedly just stated that he would be plugging in and quoting me whatever his estimate software produced. In fact, they have a button where you can request an estimate right on their Yelp page which makes it even more unbelievable. Would re-iterate to avoid this place like the plague since the new owners obviously did not carryover the honest work from the previous ones.

5+ Stars for Asim at Just Brakes in Albany!…read more What an outstanding experience. I called and was able to get a same-day appointment for a brake inspection on my Porsche 911. Asim took the car in right away and treated it with incredible care from start to finish. He carefully positioned the car on the lift, removed all four wheels, and performed a thorough inspection using the proper brake measuring gauges. He walked me through the brake pad wear on both the front and rear, checked the condition of the rotors, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. What really impressed me was the time he took to answer my questions. He spent at least 20 minutes discussing the condition of the brakes, maintenance expectations, and what to watch for in the future. His assessment was that my brakes were in excellent condition and could likely last another five years or more before needing replacement. After the inspection, he carefully reinstalled everything, torqued the lug nuts to the proper specifications, and lowered the car with the same level of care and professionalism he showed throughout the visit. Then came the biggest surprise. When I asked what I owed him, he told me the inspection was completely free. In an industry where it's easy to feel pressured into unnecessary repairs, Asim was honest, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely helpful. That kind of integrity is rare and deserves recognition. I will absolutely be bringing my Porsche back when it eventually needs brakes, and I wouldn't hesitate to bring my Toyota or Subaru there as well. Highly recommended. If you're looking for an honest brake specialist who truly cares about his customers and their cars, go see Asim at Just Brakes in Albany.

I shopped around and found this place and I'm so glad I did. First, making an appointment was super simple. The shop was easy to get to, and Asim was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He showed me that my back brakes were fine and didn't need replacing yet, and when it came to my front brakes his pricing was more than fair. Other places I checked had quoted me literally 3-4x the amount and hadn't even seen my car! He told me to come back in about an hour so I explored the neighborhood with my 3 year old until it was time to head back. Car was done, no more grinding/squealing brakes, and aside from his professionalism he was super friendly and down to earth as we chatted about kids and family while finishing up the transaction. All in all I would highly recommend to any and everyone, 10 outta 10 stars if I could.

Right when you walk in, there is a huge sign offering a discount if you leave a five star review. That alone should tell you a lot. The reviews here do not feel legitimate. If you want the real story, read the lower rated reviews because they reflect my experience much more accurately. I came in just looking for tires, and the pricing was not transparent at all. They also advertise that they are cheaper than Costco, which is simply not true. That claim is misleading. You are much better off going to Costco where pricing is straightforward and you can trust what you are getting. Overall, I would not come back and definitely would not recommend this place to anyone.
