Lansingburgh, 20 minutes up NY 40.
The shop is 20 minutes from Lansingburgh, about ten miles up NY 40.
That is the longest run on our list, so it makes sense to ask for brakes and an oil change in one visit.
In the garage, roll-up bays and a lift handle brake repair, engine repair, diagnostics, suspension and AC.
Pre-purchase inspections are available for buyers, and the shop is an official NYS public inspection station.
Fleet vehicles and trucks parked in Lansingburgh are a mobile-truck question.
Call (518) 441-6283 to find out what is possible.

Services in Troy
Work we do for Lansingburgh.
From 112th Street, head up 6th Avenue to NY 142 (Northern Drive), then take Oil Mill Hill Road to NY 40.
From there NY 40 runs north about ten miles, first as Brickyard Road and then as Speigletown Road, into Schaghticoke.
A fleet vehicle that cannot make the run is a job for the mobile truck, so call (518) 441-6283 and describe where it is.
The roads you drive
Old grid, hard miles.
An old street grid means short blocks, frequent stops and a lot of brake work.
Winter salt and spring potholes in the city take their toll on suspension and tires.
The run up NY 40 is mostly two-lane road, so a car that pulls or shakes is worth having checked before a long drive.
