Towne Service Station

I'm a fan! This is one of the service stations that's rough around the edges but really gets the…read morejob done (and at a very reasonable price). I have to admit I originally came here out of necessity. Commuting out of the Malverne train station for work Monday-Friday, I needed a place to drop off my car within walking distance of the station. It seems like Jerry and the team at Towne Service Station almost build their business hours around this principle (opening at 7am and closing at 6pm, which is a bit early of a closing time for most commuters but enough to accommodate many). Better yet, they're right across the street from the train station. Three times now I've had to bring my car in and have chosen Towne Service each time (with the idea of dropping my car off on my way into work and picking it up on the way home). Each time I called right at 7am and was told to bring my car in on my way to the train station, and each time my car was ready for pickup in time for my commute home. Better yet, the job is done right (fixed on the first shot) with only a small hole taken out of my wallet. I've never been upsold, underpromised, or unsatisfied. Old-fashioned car service at its best.

Dropped our car off first thing Monday for an inspection after being told to. Heard nothing all day…read moreuntil we called--then were told it would be done Tuesday. Tuesday came, still no updates, and when we called again they said they wouldn't get to it until Friday. Our car sat there for 36+ hours with zero communication. Completely unprofessional and a total waste of time. Take your car somewhere else.

BAIT AND SWITCH, RUN. If the only problem with this shop was…read morethat they were a bunch of crooked bait-and-switchers when it came to their estimates, that would be more than enough to run from this CROOKED SHOP. For example, I was given an estimate of $1800 told me that would be for labor, and the part should be no more than a couple of hundred dollars. After they took my car, it disappeared for days, and I couldn't reach them to find out what was going on. They finally called me back the day I was supposed to pick it up, with a revised estimate now over $6000. It was the day they were supposed to return my car fixed. refused to call back for days before then. At that point, when I saw the bait and switch that they were pulling, I told them I would no longer talk to them on the telephone, that they now need to text me, and I want my car back. I'm coming to pick it up I will not pay $6000. I would put it towards a new car. They were told this from the beginning. When I went in there first, I left a $ 1,000 deposit so they would save a spot in their queue for my car to be worked on. They took the thousand dollars I didn't hear from them for almost a whole week. Zaki was one of the people that I dealt with, and when I initially came in and left a $1000 deposit, he told me up and down about how their work has a year warranty, a year warranty, a year warranty. He said it over and over and over again. During the three days, we went back and forth in a text thread, which I have documented. They kept trying to push me to pay $6000. I refused. I told him to give me my car back they knew going in. I would never spend more than $3000, and that would be even too much for an old car. It reached the point where they were ignoring me and refusing to return my car, so I threatened to call the police to report it as stolen by them. Now they came back with an estimate of just under $ 3,000 to finish the job, I agreed. Went in to pick up the car a week late and paid the balance. I didn't sign anything. I got a copy of the bill. I left. As soon as I stopped, turned off the car, and went into a store, I came back out- my car was dead. I opened the hood and discovered that many of my plastic parts were broken, ripped off, rather than unscrewed. They lost the bolt to my battery, so they never replaced it and just left the battery connection sitting there, so it didn't stay connected. That's why my car wouldn't start once turned off. Also, not even three weeks later, the engine light came on, and the transmission is once again giving me the same problem and the same codes; they never changed the sensors I asked them to change in the car. Which was the first thing I asked to be done. They were interested in running up a big bill. The transmission that they supposedly fixed was never smooth from the day I picked up the car. It clunked into first gear, which, even when I had problems the first time, it didn't really do. When I called him with these problems, they never called back. They ignored all my phone calls ever since picking up the car to the point that I had to call Amoco corporate. The corporate office is a waste of your time because of the retail shop refuses to cover their warranty. because he's claiming he told me there was no warranty on the work, since it wasn't the $6000 original bait-and-switch job they initially tried to force on me. All Amoco corporate did was slow down the process, so I now have to sue him in small claims court to get my money back. Because Zaki OF LYNBROOK will not refund their bad work, and AAMCO corporate won't do anything to honor the warranty. The only thing that calling corporate does is let them know that their retailer is a crook, which I believe they already knew. They let him lie to them on the phone, and he didn't even have the paperwork to back up his own lies. They knew that, and I knew that, and they still made us wait for weeks while he tried to find things that did not exist. Everything that happens to that retailer for being a CROOK is internal, nothing to do with the client who lost $. Save yourself three months and just go to court. This review is my final step after already filing a small claims case- my first ever. I had a vintage car and I brought it in here for a transmission, and they ripped apart the parts the way they did my car, and damaged the inside pieces of my car the way they did (I can see just so far what's broken on the surface. There is something rocking in the engine block of the car. I'm sure they forgot a few more screws along the way). The people who work in the shop are dishonest. They will say anything to get you to leave your car. He lied to his own corporate people, telling them that paperwork existed. When we all know it didn't exist. He tried to claim he told me verbally after he couldn't find the paperwork showing the warranty no longer covered it, now that it was a $3000 job. Thank God for text messages. NOTICE: almost all 5-star reviews seem fake.

I called Mercedes to see if they do body work and they recommended me to a collision place "they use". After reading their reviews, I knew I was NOT going there. I did a search and found a Touch of Class Collision. I called, and the staff was friendly attentive and caring. The young man who drove me to the rental place was so friendly and professional as well. Yesterday, 4 February, I finally picked up my car. It took a while but that was because the other insurance company took their time to get adjusters etc. When I got there, Gabe came out to greet me, they pulled my Alpine white, 300C up and I was floored. It looked like a brand new car, like it had come out of the showroom. Gabe explained the work they did and that the impact was much more that it showed superficially. The inside was spotless, the trunk, glove compartment everything was just spotless and so clean. This morning my dad went to charge the battery and he said even the engine is spotless and so clean. The body is shiny and brand new looking and they also left a tube of paint just in case:). I highly recommend A Touch of Class Collision. Gabe is super and the staff is amazing. Thank you so much for taking such good care of me and my "girl" my car:). Juliana M

It was late and most places I called were either closed or closing so they couldn't take me. I came across Everything Auto but was a little skeptical since they had no reviews. I still gave it a try cause It was the closest place to me and I was honestly desperate. I get there and I'm so glad I decided to go! I was greeted right away and Josh said he will help me even tho I knew they were closing. I was so grateful and surprised at how fast they fixed my car. Turns out they didn't have any reviews yet because they just opened this location a few weeks ago (talk about not judging a book by its cover lol) and their other location had like tons of 5 star reviews. I highly recommended this mechanic shop to any one looking to fix their car. Efficient, kind, and trustworthy are the words that come to mind to describe josh, thanks again for accepting my car last minute I am beyond grateful. Great service and not to mention the pricing was super affordable! Will definitely be back for my oil change, brakes and anything else I need.

DISHONEST SHOP!! I…read morehave brought my car to Josh (owner) back when he was working out of a backyard garage on Merrick. It was a honest shop back then. Now that he has expanded h his business to Franklin Square...seems like customer service has gone down the toilet. He is not on site anymore and won't speak to customers even if there is a disagreement. There is a young guy behind the desk that seems to be running things now. I had an unfortunate encounter with him where he lied about calling me to approve services to my vehicle that I did not approve. I just wanted my brakes and rotors changed and that was confirmed when I dropped off the vehicle...only to be forced to pay for an extra tire rotation ($50 -while tires were already taken off already for brake job!) and coolant top off ($20) that was not pre approved (I had the tires already rotated that same morning at the dealership with an oil change!!). I understand that miscommunications can happen, but don't lie and tell me you called me to approve the extra services!! I have no tolerance for dishonesty!! PLEASE AVOID THIS SHOP AT ALL COSTS!!!

I have an interesting situation that without a doubt the most worthy reason for giving a 6 star…read morereview. Skip to the last paragraph if you just want to results without the honest details. I have an ML63 that had a check engine light which I scanned to find out it had lost communication with transmission control module. I took it to Mercedes to confirm this was the only problem, knowing I would be replacing it myself. MB told me if I did not have them do the job, it would cost me way more money if they found a problem, because they claimed that the dealership was the only place that could re program the computer...... Very intimidating. I did not have the $3,000 they were asking to do the job. I removed and replaced the part, loaded it onto a flatbed and had it transported to MB to get the TCM re programmed which I was quoted $165hr x 2 hours. I get a phone call and they say there is a problem (it is hard shifting 1st gear into 2nd). When I get there, they are unable to replicate the issue but tell me the transmissiopn needs to be torn down to find the problem. I trust they are telling me the truth, but when they take it apart, they say they found some bolts in the oil pan and a ball bearing they claim came from the valve body (which is impossible) and later I found out that the ball bearing they claimed came out of the valve body actually had no use and was for compression tessting at the MB factory before car went sent to be sold by dealships. Long story short, the $330.00 quote turned into a $3600 amount that dealer claimed they had spent on the vehicle. This turned into the dealership telling me I also needed to replace the valve body = $2,000+. I was forced to buy 2 different valve bodies according to MB and was told that it was actually the transmission and I needed to replace the entire transmission for upwards of $7,000 on top of the $3600 and other costs for valve bodies and labor that MB charged me. MB kept my ML63 for over 6 weeks and gave the car back to me in worse condition than after it had been dropped off. Car drove perfecty before taking it into dealer and after removing and replacing TCM, the car drove onto the flatbed without a problem. The TCM just needed re programming. So now the car is stuck in 1st gear in sport mode and in comfort mode, the clutch slips and car goes nowhere. MB says its my problem because I replaced the TCM myself and obviously destroyed the transmission. I knew 100% I did a perfect replacement because I documented, photographed and video recorded the entire event!!!! I approach Gary at AAA1 and explain my situation and tell him exactly what is going on. I had my ML63 transported to his shop in West Hempstead, NY and he inspected it. He removed the valvebody to confirm that there was no problem with any missing ballbearings and it was in perfect order after doing tests on solenoids and so on. Gary then connected it to his computer and found that the Mercedes Benz Deaalership had failed to initialize the transmission control module. Gary initialized the computer which took all of 10 minutes and took the car for a test drive. The transmission was 100% in perfect working order. Gary could have easily taken advantage of the situation and he could have told me I needed a new transmission just like MB had done. That would have been several thousand dollars in his pocket. He was instead honest and I would have had no idea at all if he had have mislead me into believing I needed to spend money on a new transmission. I can't even explain how rare this kind of honesty is in the world today. The total bill from Gary was a few hundred dollars. If you have any problems, I can say that Gary and his team at AAA-1 are the best place to trust with your vehicle and I am so grateful for his genuine and honest ways that he took care of my situation. Thank you Gary, JT
