3 businesses in Albany have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 3 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 71 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.

Oregon has no safety inspection. Cars registered inside the Portland area or Medford area testing boundaries need a DEQ emissions test when they renew registration. Portland tests 1975 and newer vehicles, Medford tests vehicles 20 years old or newer, and the newest model years and fully electric vehicles are exempt. Details are on the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Vehicle Inspection Program site. A repair shop must prepare an estimate before it starts work and give the owner a copy. If the estimate shows work will cost more than $200, the shop needs the owner's authorization first. Read the rule.
