Greg is phenomenal !!!! He has always been there for me and my family in the 20 years I’ve been coming to Automotive TechnologyThey always fully explain the extent of the repair , also gives options For those expected repairs on my older vehicles 🚗 160,000 milesIt’s a very busy shop …. End for obvious reasons GREAT SERVICE!!!!
Greg was able to fix my problem with out having to change out several other parts . And save me a ton .Long story short I went for a estimate at another shop they wanted to change out multiple parts . My quote was astronomically high !Greg and his pros where able to figure out what was actualy the problem and fix it . And not have to change out parts that did not need to be changed . I just want to thank Greg for job well done ! 👏
Scheduled an inspection, oil change, and repair of my headlight. Warranty was honored to repair the headlight assembly without charge. Staff is extremely friendly and timely in providing service. Greg is an excellent manager who understands the importance of high quality customer service, reasonable service and prices.
Quality work done by qualified mechanics who are there to help you find the best solution for the car problem and your budget. No hard press sales. They stand by their work and always go out of their way to accommodate your schedule, and even give you a ride home. Been going there since they opened 25 years ago and would never take my car anywhere else.
Excellent service!I contacted Greg for an estimate on some diagnostic service on my 2012 Jeep. He was able to repair the issue I had with the blower motor electronic circuit. He kept me updated as he made progress. He was extremely persistent with what appeared to be a very difficult diagnosis. The price I was given for the overall repair including diagnostic fees was extremely fair and reasonable. I will be using automotive technology of West Islip for all my future automotive repairs.
I have been bringing my car to this shop for a while and always receive top service. Friendly and helpful!One of the key things that I really like is how Greg explains in detail the issue with my car and also provids a detailed solution in a way that I can understand.. Highy recommend!!!
Automotive Technology of West Islip has been providing myself and my family with quality vehicle care for YEARS, at this point, it just feels like an extended family atmosphere. Everyone is extremely personable, while simultaneously professional. The mechanics are excellent at their jobs, and truly care about making sure your vehicle is safe and operational. I cant imagine bringing my ancient Jeep anywhere else.
Automotive Technology has been servicing our cars for 25 years. We would never go anywhere else. Greg and Tommy are like family to us. They ALWAYS go above and beyond. They are honest and trustworthy.THANK YOU for your expertise and wonderful service throughout the years. You’re simply the best!
First time dealing with Automotive Technology. They diagnosed my electrical issue accurately and resolved it at a fair price. They also kept me informed every step of the way with phone calls which was very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any type of repairs.
Love Greg and the team at Automotive technology. They are super trust worthy and do an excellent job. They are aways great at communicating the issues, giving options and getting the work done. Extremely professional and all around good people. We will be continuing to bring our cars here. Thank you!
I have been going to Automotive Technology since 1997... They have always been honest and always do a great job no matter how big or small the job is. Greg is very knowledgeable and kind. The work is done in a timely manner and their prices are very reasonable.I will never go anywhere else!
Greg is the best. He’s always very informative and does right by his customers. He handled a huge undertaking with my insurance company and did it with ease. I recommend his shop to everyone now and won’t be going anywhere else. One of the last great mechanics around.
As I mentioned in other comments, I have been a customer of Automotive Technology for 20 years. I have always had a very positive experience with the front office and management. As was my last visit on October 26. 2019 for a NY State inspection. There was no wait time, because the car was 1 year old, I needed a Safety check only, which was completed in 10 minutes. Automotive Technology has my vote for excellence in customer care, superior knowledge in automobile care and repair. Best regards to everyone, mainly Tommy, Greg and Tom. CeciliaPS. Apparently I am not the only one who trusts her car to this excellent shop, for the first time in 20 years I had to park on the side street for my 10 am appointment. That is a great sign. Cecilia
Everyone there is wonderful. I have been going there for over 20 years and very satisfied with everyone there. In August I had my oil changed at a large chain automotive company in Bayshore, because I could not come in during the week to Automotive Technology. I drove the car for less than 50 miles. Around a week later I was driving down my block I noticed the oil light come on. Luckily, I was just down the block from Automotive Technology where I drove the car to. Greg was able to see that the oil filter was gone. I have never had an oil filter just fall off a car. Could of been a complete disaster if it happened on the the LIE. First and last time I will bring my car anywhere else!!!!
I had issues with my alternator for the past couple weeks. After trying to fix it on my own (and one melted alternator post later) I gave Greg a call. He had a tow schedule for me the next day and had my car up and running by days end. He was courteous, professional and gave me a rundown of everything he found and tested.Im forever grateful to have a shop near me that I can trust to bail me out when something goes wrong. Quality work done with professionalism and integrity. Cant recommend them enough!
I have been using Automotive tech for 30 years and have always gotten the best service. They are very courteous, and so timely. They always go the extra mile. Greg and Tom the owner are the best. I highly recommend them, also they are very trustworthy and priced more then fair...
Very happy with their service!!! from picking up my car during this time that we are staying home, single mom, with no help. Worked with me to get the best reasonable repair prices$$. Patiently explaining what my car needed repair. The best diagnostic with photos and YouTube videos. Great trustworthy experience en general!!! Thank you 💯
Automotive Technology of West Islip has been my one and only service station for many years, through many cars. My earliest dealings with Tom, Jackie and Greg have established a peace of mind for me, knowing my vehicles will be expertly cared for, with guaranteed parts, and reasonable pricing.Tom in the office is a pleasure to work with, setting up appointments, and the men in the shop are knowledgeable, neat and clean.No need to go anywhere else.Thanks guys, Ill surely be there again.
Friendly straightforward service and reasonable prices. My first oil change at a local shop since moving to the area. Will be coming backUpdate: I got my second oil change here today. The team also looked up a code to reset my radio which was locked on anti theft mode and tightened a loose battery terminal for no extra charge. Thank you! 👍👍👍
This place is great! I came here by chance when my alternator failed last year and they have been taking care of my cars ever since. They are trustworthy with fair pricing, and always get the job done in a timely manner. It’s reassuring to have mechanics you can trust and I would recommend automotive technology to anyone!
With my dad being a retired mechanic, and me working on cars with him from childhood until my early 20s, we always had a high standard looking for a reputable mechanic since my father is now disabled and I have herniated disks in my neck preventing me from even doing own oil changes any more.We moved from Nassau to Suffolk over 5 years ago and were nervous to find a new mechanic since we liked our old one a lot. Luckily my very picky (in a good way!) father-in-law recommended to us Automotive Technology of West Islip.The rare times my family needed work done to our cars, either Greg or Tom patiently described things to us on the phone, educated us, were descriptive, and are always very personable. The company does great work, are prompt, reliable, polite, and great quality!I would highly recommend Automotive Technology of West Islip if you live anywhere nearby for a great mechanic!
I went first time for my car inspection at this place, they checked my car and told me its need change cabin filter they changed but they broken all key locks of cabin cover top, very Unprofessional people and they didnt tell me they broke it!!!!! beware and think twice before go to this place. my car is agency maintained but Automotive technology worker damaged my car cabin filter cover, i use zip ties now to fix it and will take my car to agency to replace whole part. poor service.Full of Dissappointment.
All of my experiences here have been positive!! Tom and Greg truly care about their customers and their safety. I had brakes done before I went on a vacation and Greg knew I was apprehensive about some issues... he ended up calling me on my vacation to check up on everything. Who does that anymore??? It blew me away. The customer service and concern are top-notch and I wouldn’t consider any other repair shop!!!
These guys are great here. Let me tell you why. I had my car (Buick) worked on at another, to me, infamous national chain auto repair shop. I needed tires and this infamous repair shop also charged me for brakes and failed my cars inspection because they supposedly found a fuel leak. This infamous shop told me they dont repair fuel leaks and you have to take the car somewhere else to get it repaired. So, I had to take the car to a real repair and mechanic shop, Automotive Technology of West Islip.To begin with, the infamous repair shop should had told me this BEFORE working on my car not after making money on me.Anyway, the guys at Automotive Technology of West Islip, Tom and Greg, told me they checked my car out for over two hours and did not find any fuel leaks. My car passed inspection with no problems. These guys were honest here and they gained another customer. Thanks again guys!
I have been going to Auto Tech. for years; I wouldn’t go anywhere else!! Greg; Tom & Tommy and all the guys take excellent care of me & my car!! I commute for work; and must make sure my car is always in top shape, the guys at Auto Tech keep me going!’ They are also great at letting me know what absolutely needs to be done right away or if things can wait awhile; this way I am never hit with any huge bill !! They are fair; helpful; honest & I just think they are great!!!! Love you guys; you are the BEST!!!
Greg and his staff continue to be the best in the business even during this pandemic. Other than actually handing off the keys (Greg and his entire staff were in masks and we did the exchange outdoors) the entire experience was contactless. They are using plastic covers on the seats and steering wheels as well. The work was done on as always. Highly recommend
I always thought big box repair shops ie Pep Boys, Sears to name a few give best service. I was wrong. I have brought my company van into their shop just to give them a test run and they were honest and prices not so bad. I figured company van means they have a unlimited fund to rip people off. That was not the case. They only did the work that was needed to be done. Nothing added just to inflate the price up for more profit. I now bring all my cars and the company van into their shop. I had a timing belt replaced there and after pricing around to all the local shops in walking distance they were right in par with all of them. It seems they dont rush through the car just to get you out of there. I like a shop to take their time and do the job right the first time. That is hard to find these days.
I have been going there for years (since I live nearby) and from the first visit, I felt comfortable that Tommy, Greg and the rest of the guys were trust worthy. They have gone out of their way to get the work done in a timely and efficient manner and went out of their way to do so for my wife and I on more than one occasion. And now they even plug tires for free! Highly recommended.
The techs explain what needs to be done. The work is done correctly. If I ever had a problem or a question Greg has always taken the time to look or address the issue.About a year ago there was a noise. It was late and I took a chance the shop was open, got lucky Tom was there. Tom stopped what he was doing and looked at the car. He said the car should not be driven. He took us home because he said the engine may seize. The next day he had time to look at it. It was terminal.Another time, I was buying a used car - Tom inspected the car top to bottom. Found a manufacture defect. The machine TOTALLY missed a weld. The car was not joined properly by the passengers rear door. It made the car look crooked and compromised the safety of the passengers. I did not buy the car.
After bringing my car to the Dealer because my powerseat did not work and the Nissan Dealer advising I had to change my Engine Harness, main harness, and door harness, I brought my Nissan and Greg the wiring expert fixed a burnt wire. Unbelievable what the Dealers will try and get away with.
The guys here are honest hard working and very knowledgeable. Its rare to find a mechanic you can trust nowadays. But Auto tech is one of thoes places.greg always explains in detail what he doing to my car before he does it.. great place and I never felt like I got taken to the cleaners
Waited in the lobby for 10 mins with no help. Someone finally came and seemed to not care. I asked for an oil change and they told me not today. It is 3 and they close at 6 and I was willing to leave it with them. How is someone supposed to work and use your shop for basic maintenance. Its a shame, Im new to the neighborhood, but they lost me as a potential customer.
Total crooks.. beware! told us our car failed inspection .. said all new brakes were needed and asked if we lived down by the water because the brakes rotors and everything were total rust. brought the car for a second opinion and sure enough brakes were fine. they are sneaky and i will be reporting them to bbb
I have been going to these guys for the past three years they are priced well, honest and great staff very hard to find those things in an automotive shop these days but glad I found them and will continue to give them my business I suggest giving them a try you wont regret it.
Brought my car in for a NYS inspection, was told the power steering hose or pump was leaking. Brought it home, power steering reservoir was full, went over the power steering, no leaks found. Took it to Mavis Tire in Bayshore the next day, and it passed the state inspection.
Great shop , Excellent Mechanics, they always find time to stop and help, whether it is putting on wipers for me , changing a tire, Brake job etc.They always use Quality parts as well which is important , I wouldnt want cheap brakes when it comes to safety of my family, you guys truly care and I appreciate itDenis H.
My car a 2003 mustang cobra (love it) had a problem car just would not hold a charge drive it around the block and try to start it and boom its dead again this went on for 2 years brought it to FORD they fixed stuff that didnt need to be fixed and said they think they fixed the problem by putting a $125 battery in and some other bs for $700 and did not fix it next i brought to a shop thar ive been dealing with since 1979 i wont say the shop because they r friends but again could not solve the problem they said it was the trunk light was staying on and draining the battery NOT so lets put another battery in because we r to lazy to solve tthe actual problem again battery battery battery so now i just dont drive the car it just sits in front of my house so if you see an 03 cobra or any car for that matter with low miles on it its not because it was intentional its because its always BROKEN and then there is auto tek in west islip on union blvd so i bring the car in and the same day i get a call car is fixed it was the line lock draining the battery I WILL NEVER GO TO ANY OTHER REPAIR SHOP AGAIN THIS IS THE BEST REPAIR SHOP EVER PETE J

2022-06-26Great Service. Ive been bringing my cars to Greg for over 10 years. They are very honest here. I started bringing my cars here because of another mechanic .My car was leaking transmission fluid. They said they couldnt find the leak. Greg put it on the lift and found it within 20 minutes. It wasnt major .It was fixed and ever since then I bring my cars to them.

2022-01-21I stopped without appt with an almost flat tire and Greg came right out to take a look and advised a new tire which he ordered the next day and put on and did tire rotation. Even gave me a ride home that night because I left car for them. Awesome friendly service always. Highly recommend!

2022-01-10I give Auto Tech. 10 🌟. Greg and Sal were very pleasant and polite. Greg diagnosed the problem immediately. To my surprise within a few hours my car was ready for pick-up. Theres no hesitation on my part to bring my car in to Auto Technology again for whenever service is needed.

2022-04-22Ive been to many mechanics over the years and I gotta say this shop is truly impressive!Not only did they fix the issues on my Wrangler, and in a short time, but Sal and Greg explained everything clearly from start to finish. I really felt like I could trust them to do the work properly, and for once I didnt get the feeling that I was being ripped off when it was done. They even threw in some extra services, which was very kind of them!I feel its important to mention that they went out of their way to solve a very annoying problem that Ive been dealing with for many years, no thanks to the other shops I asked to look into it. I told them my Jeep would make a loud rattling sound whenever I hit a bump or pot hole, like someone dropping a toolbox, which is pretty embarrassing.They noticed my sway bars had been completely detached bc the threads they screw onto were stripped/damaged, so they had to cut them back and do some jury rigging to fix it. Sure enough that was the source of the rattle, and they werent even specifically looking for it...Now that its fixed, my Jeep is runing a lot smoother and is no longer making a racket. Sadly, its obvious that many other mechanics just cant be bothered to try and fix any problems that require a little critical thinking...I will def be coming back here in the future, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their Jeep.

2022-03-23Brought my car in for an oil change and mentioned that the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT was on and had been since I had brought it in a few weeks ago . Knowing I had to work a loaner was provided . I was contacted in the afternoon to advised there was a small issue and felt that if I could leave the car till the next day they wanted to check somethings in the morning . Keep the loaner for the night and sure enough a replacement part was defective and replaced immediately at no charge . These guys are great and would recommend highly recommend them .

2022-01-21I cant recommend this shop enough... Finding a good auto shop is like playing the lottery. You will win if you pick this one. Professional, honest, fair price, treating the customer right. The manager Greg runs a great shop and cares about his customers. All the mechanics are top notch and take pride in their work. If you are in need of any type of mechanical work done on your vehicle, and we all do at sometime, dont hesitate to bring your auto here. Youll be glad that you did....Another great experience at A.T. This place and the techs are simple the best. I trust these guys with my car than anywhere else. Anytime I hear someone complain of service they received somewhere else, I tell them about this place. Honesty, Great work, fair pricing, good people from the front to the back. They really take pride in their work there. The secret is out. This is the place to go for all your auto needs
