Best mechanics. If you are seeking honesty, thoroughness , and reliance, then this is the shop to take your vehicle. They fully inspect your vehicle BEFORE any diagnostic is rendered. Please forget all others that believe they can diagnose an issue by listening, as these mechanics will not hesitate to drive your vehicle, or put it onto a lift. Most of all, they are prepped with the latest advanced technical machines that not only assist in the diagnosis, but usually pick up on issues not yet evident. I trust their thoroughness.Dr. S.

Go here every year for my inspection. Its fast and efficient. The fellas there are straight up and polite. Polite convo as well. If youre in need of work these guys can work with you.
Very timely. Youre not there all day. Great service
Julio is wonderful! He took the time to explain all of the computer jaron after running a diagnostic on my car. He gave me a rough estimate of what he thought it would cost, he stayed true to that price! If youre a woman and are unsure how to go about finding an honest mechanic...no need to look any further! Julio and his team are amazing!
Julio absolutely rescued us from a difficult situation and provided excellent customer service and an incredibly quick turnaround time. One of our car’s side mirrors got stolen overnight, right before we had to drive out of town. Julio responded to our late night phone call and then first thing in the morning figured out how to get the right part to his shop and installed it. All of it before noon and cheaper (with labor) than the price of the part alone from the dealership. Thank you, Julio!
Completely destroyed my engine. When I called them asking them why my oil light was still going on they said that I had more than enough oil. A few weeks later, my engine dies because they didnt properly attach my oil pan and had a slow leak. Called them and they said they never touched my oil. Even though they had filled my oil a few times after replacing my fuel pump and fuel filter and charged me 3k. Dont go to these people for anything. They lie and wont take responsibility for anything. I would give zero stars if I could.
Julio and the team are pretty great, always a positive attitude. Have been taking my car here for a few years - regular check ups, emissions, small body work. Always timely and reasonable in price.
Its always good to have a trusted mechanic especially when you have a new born baby like i do. Ive been going to this mechanic for 3 years now and I have no complaints. Theyre Absolutely great. Always on point and the parts are class A brand new. I seriously have had no issue with them.
Customer service is great, but pricing is absolutely horrible. Every problem I had came with an outrageous price tag. I paid $1000 in labor to have an alternator, starter and a few other things repaired. I purchased all of my parts, because the parts I needed were very high if I got them through the shop. I was won by the customer service, but I cant do business there anymore.
The manager is very caring about the customer. Mr. J. is experience in his work. I am giving him a 5 star rating. I will be taking my car back to him again. Thx you Mr. J. This is the place to go.
Called ahead to inquire about safety inspections, they said come in anytime between 9am-4pm. So I went in, no appointment, in and out in fifteen minutes. 5/5 would go again
Went today to get an emission test and an oil change. They were fast, super nice, and extremely helpful. Emission test was $37!!! (Even though the DMV site says NY Metro area is $27).BUT since when is an oil change $65!?! They didnt even ask the type of oil I wanted. So they probably did the highest one.Not going back again. Rip off.
I came in for an inspection and was done and leaving 12 minutes later! The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional, and Julio took the time to explain some typical car maintenance and repair practices for me. Highly recommended!
Good mechanics and good service. Julio and his team always do what I need, and keep me abreast of anything looks like it’s on it’s way out. Prices up front and I never got a surprise. Used for years and will continue to do so.
Very friendly. I was a little reserved on going in but I got a ticket for an expired, inspection sticker. Work was done quickly. No complaints
This place told me I needed new struts and stabilizer links due to a weird noise that came from turning my front tires at low speeds (or not moving). They quoted me just over $1300!!!! After saying no thank you and investigating myself the only thing needed was stabilizer links which cost me $54 and took about 40 minutes to replace. My struts were basically brand new. DO NOT TRUST THIS BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Extremely knowledgeable and HONEST. The best mechanics we have found in Brooklyn so far! We’ve been coming here for years and Julio & his team are AMAZING!
Had a flat tire. They patched up in no time and gave me a great price. Very friendly and helpful.
Prices are fair. And the owner is honest. Which is hard to come by these days
Excellent service that was fast, thorough, and friendly! These are honest guys putting in their best effort, and Im very glad I found this place. Check it out!
Well run shop, friendly guys, very fair price. Very knowledgeable. Absolutely recommend!
BEWARE TOOK CAR FOR INSPECTION AND THE PERSON HAD THE NERVE TO RESET THE ECM TO FAIL. I WAS TOLD BY MY TRUSTED MECHANIC IT WOULD PASS. PEOPLE DONT BOTHER GOING HERE. I WENT TO ANOTHER PLACE HAD TO PAY AGAIN AND IT PASSED FLAWLESSLY. THIS PLACE DOESNT DESERVE A ONE STAR. THIS PLACE LIKE TO SCAM HONEST WORKING PEOPLE. I HOPE ALL THERE LICENSES GET REVOKED. GO TO ANOTHER PLACE TO FIX YOUR CAR. BUNCH OF SCUMBAGS. I HOPE THERE BUSINESS CLOSE DOWN.
Super professional and honest!Great place also for oil change
These people wanted to charge me $2300 to fix my mini van air conditioning system when the real problem was the radiator that cost ten times less!!!
I give these gentlemen 5 stars.
It is not cheap, it is not expensive. you need to work with them but at the end you can get the work done and be satisfied.
They are always quick in response, reliable and very professional in their services.
These guys are very reliable and efficient in thier services.

2021-07-12Guys in the office were friendly and easy to talk to. Got a NYS inspection on my car. In and out in 15 minutes - standard NYC price, $37.I also watched them help an older woman ahead of me. Seemed honest and straightforward in their estimate, and even recommended she price check wipers on Amazon if it would save her a little. Will be back for service in the future.

2021-03-05Julio and his team are top notch. Julio is thorough and always straightforward up front about what costs will be associated with repairs.When a concern came up following one of the car repairs my husband and I needed, Julio personally ensured that our car be checked and double checked to address our concern.Thank you for your service to our community, Model A!

2021-05-14Cannot recommend this place enough. Julio and his team were incredibly nice, fast and professional. Julio also recommended to me another mechanic who does bodywork and turned out to be another really great and dependable mechanic. Very grateful to finally find a high quality and professional auto shop. No mansplaining!

2020-09-26Julio is an amazing professional, straight up! Had an issue with my engine and his guys were able to detect it pretty quickly and fix it on the same day. Honest guy, fair price, awesome service. I Highly recommend his shop.

2021-05-05Honest, through, and dependable. They dont hide what theyre doing behind any curtain and were more than happy to show me first hand what they were working on and how they were going to fix it. Theyve earned my future business. Julio is personable and extremely knowledgable and I felt comfortable having him and his team work on my car.

2020-09-03I had an emergency as my car was overheating I took it in to this shop and the owner took at look at it. Asked me for a deposit called me later on that day and informed me that I need to flush my engine and that I needed a new starter and new battery. He sold this request very good so I agreed but later on when i got home to checked all the work that was done on my car and noticed that my starter was recently change about 14 months ago so all it needed was a new battery not a starter but since he already started the work I couldn’t go back on it. So it took 3 days for them to complete the job. When I came in to the shop to pay my balance and pick up my car owner gave me this story that how they put in good work on my car. What felt weird was when I was leaving he said “if anything come back and we will check on it” I found that weird because if you fixed it why would I need to come back. Sure enough the first time I drove it (not when I left the shop) the car immediately overheated and I called the shop to find out why do I have the same issue I thought it was fixed. He said bring it in. So I brought it in he ran his diagnostic and told me you need at least 1,500 worth of work I don’t think it s worth it. So I was like wait!!!!! You originally told me the problem was there was a leak and you fixed it and you also got me to buy in that I needed a new starterI have to say I was RIPPED offThat was my experience. I will never go to this shop ever and will never recommend themMy expectations when I go to a mechanic is to diagnose the problem and fixed it not patch things so I have to come in again or misdiagnosed the problemThis shop cause me money time and my car as I had to give it up because I wasted a load of money for something that didn’t solve the issueNever again

2020-06-20Julio is the man! His whole team has put in some sort of work towards my Acura. Had my transmission rebuilt, rotors and brakes, suspension, shocks and struts... basically transformed the way my car felt on the road. Ive had same day service with some repairs. Id reccomend this spot to anyone looking for quality service for a great price by skilled professionals. Keep up the great work guys!
