Got a flat tire thanks to the potholes in Lyndhurst on Polito. Called this place to see if they were open (around 7pm) and they said they were...after all, it's called "24 Hours Auto Body", and the guy said to bring the car in because he could do the repair. Had to wait 15 or so minutes for the tow truck, and it took another 5 minutes to get to the location. Get there and the auto body shop portion was closed. Talked to the gas station attendant and he said that he's not affiliated, and that I could call the mechanic. Did so, he came back, agreed to leave car there overnight because blow-out was so bad, it involved having to get new tires instead of a simple patch job. Rich (the mechanic) said no problem, that he can replace the tires the next day and have it ready. Great, I think!
Rich calls next day and his estimate was spot-on: $290 for two new tires, parts, labor, and taxes. Oh, but that I need to pay in CASH because his credit card machine is broken. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT LAST NIGHT?! 0-stars for terrible communication, 5-stars for quality work...averages out to 3-stars. read more
