Kost Tire-Muffler

These guys are awesome! Blew out one of my tires and dropped by without an appointment and the size tire I needed they only had available in their warehouse. So they got the 2 tires from the warehouse and changed them for a great price in less than 2 hours! They also did a courtesy check and found something and quoted it for the lowest price out of 4 other shops. Put the quote in writing and said I could come get it done anytime. Exceptional service! Would highly recommend and I will definitely be going there from now on.

On a trip from Detroit to Boston, the exhaust on my Civic developed a loud and noisy leak. I found Kost’s Albany shop close to my hotel and showed up first thing the next morning — they were open on Columbus Day, a pleasant discovery in its own right (I’m looking at you, Midas!). Anyway, I couldn’t have had more professional service from Joe, the manager, who quickly diagnosed the repair (a new center pipe, which has broken away from the converter!), gave me a very fair price, and told me it could be completed within about an hour. This while dealing with other customers who had arrived at the beginning of the work day.
True to his word and then some, the job was done in about 45 minutes. I was on a schedule, and I can’t thank Joe and the guys at Kost for getting me back on the road to Beantown. While I’m not local, I’d certainly recommend using Kost — they are professional and honest. Plus they obviously keep a good amount of parts in stock, so chances of a long wait are slim.

These guys should have an ‘S’ on their chest, because when it comes to customer satisfaction, they are truly Supermen. When I incurred a flat tire on my Toyata Rav4 Runflat tire, little did I know that no one else from literally Brooklyn to Syracuse New York would have a replacement in stock — for a week! One fateful call to Kost Tire (they were my 19^th call) after hope seemed lost, they guaranteed a new replacement (plus installment) in under 24 hours. Not only did they deliver in spades, they quoted me 30 bucks under the market price for a spankin’ brand-​new tire. Knowledgeable, professional, and resourceful, this establishment is truly a gem in a crowded field. Thank you Mason and Joe, hopefully it will be much longer than 13,000 miles before my next flat, but now I will know who to call!
