Very affordable and great work. They don't BS. They'll keep you updated and I haven't had to go back to fix something a second time

After a recent service at another shop in a different state, the engine light came on. I searched Yelp for a trustworthy place and came across Alberto's, which had excellent reviews--and now I understand why. I brought my car in to have it checked out, and Jay went above and beyond. He carefully ran diagnostics to identify the issue, explained everything clearly, and offered thoughtful advice. His recommendation was to try a catalytic cleaner first and see if the light came back on. What really stood out was the time he spent with me, ensuring I understood my options, and the fact that he didn't charge me anything despite so much help. He also provided a few solid recommendations for future car care. If I ever have another issue with my car, I'll definitely be returning to Alberto's. read more

These guys were fast and efficient with giving me a complimentary diagnostic. Glad I found them!

Excellent service, great people I recommend this place also great prices! Harlan Ingles Como tambien Español un servicio de categoria read more

An amazing, honest small reliable family own business definitely recommend for all serice work

Eric and his dad are great people. Awesome shop that does high quality work. Highly recommend.

Great shop. Eric gave me some air for my tire when it was on it's last legs. Also gave me some insight on my car and what to expect maintenance wise moving forward. read more

Thank you Eric! I called Alberto's after a warning light came on while I was driving to work in the Bronx. After looking up the symbol in my owners manual, I decided that it was the brake light and that I needed to take the car in right away rather than driving back to Brooklyn. Eric told me to come right over even though I was calling as soon as they opened at 8AM. When I got there I discovered that my "brake light" symbol looks a lot like "low tire pressure" -- no brake problem at all, just needed some air in my tires since it was 23 degrees outside! Eric put air in my tires and wouldn't even let me pay for his time! So kind and professional, I have a new mechanic in the Bronx! Highly recommend. read more

Wow! Just wow! Eric the owner is a busy man, but he will always makes the time. I came in for a/c issue hot air blowing. He explained to me the inner workings of that system and how it should never loose frion unless there was a leak issue. Well he found that issue in one of my vaulves. Eric removed it and fixed it. He's knows his stuff and the fact that he takes him time not to just fix issues but educate his customers on them is like I said WOW! This is my shop and he is my mechanic. I drove all the way from westchester and it's always worth it!!! The prices are also always fair and awesome. read more

I've come here a few times and the service has been great. Today I came and they were obviously busy, instead of just telling me that my vehicle could not be serviced today, the owner's son just chose to string me along. Mind you, after waiting in my vehicle in 35 degree weather. His tone was dismissive. Well I guess they have enough business where they no longer need mine. read more

I am completely pleased with the professionalism and service this business has rendered. I was in need of assistance, being a first time car owner there are things you don't necessarily know. Eric was a complete professional and new his craft. The prices were very reasonable. read more

I can't say enough about how grateful I am to Eric at Alberto's Auto Repair. We were stranded on a scorching hot day with a burned out clutch. He helped us arrange a tow and did the clutch replacement for a very reasonable price. He could have gouged us - we were in a vulnerable situation. Not only did he do an amazing job for less than we thought, he did it quickly. A rare find - an honest, good guy. Very highly recommend!! read more

If you're looking for a trustworthy auto repair shop, look no more! Alberto's Auto Repair are one of our treasures in the Bronx. The father and son team are knowledgeable, experienced and their rates are very very reasonable. I've been a client for years because they know what they're doing...THEY'RE THE BEST!! I just got my oil changed, and they replaced my headlight. It's so nice to know you have mechanics that care about their work...thanks Alberto and Eric. Give them a try you won't regret it read more

I have been using them for over four years now. They never fix anything that doesn't need it, and go the extra mile to help you. They're certified, and I have been very satisfied with every repair. This is in stark contrast to many of the mechanics I've been to before I found Albertos. I drive to Albertos from 15 miles away (seriously) when I need something because I can trust them, and end up spending less. This is due to three reasons; (1) their price is reasonable (2) they know what they are doing so they zoom in on the problem where some other mechanics might try replacing this or that to "see if it does the trick" (3) they'll never cheat you I also like that they use their eyes and ears in test driving the car before and after the repair. Some mechanics (like the bad ones I used to go to )can't be bothered to do that and may be forgoing information useful for diagnosis. When diagnosis is not absolute, they think logically and are good probabalistically thinkers having a broad knowlege of many makes and models to draw from, knowing what tends to go wrong on whcih car at what point in the car's lifecycle. I strongly believe this has avoided uneccesary repairs because they get it right more than others seem to when a judgement call has to be made. Always genuinely courteous; they give good advice and have very fair prices. Every couple of years I come on here and give 'em a good review because - - before them I went about10 years without a mechanic that I really liked. I am suprised they are not busier than they are and more ppl in Manhattan, Westchester, and Bronx could really benefit from a mechanic this good, but I suppose people stongly prefer to go local and may not like the idea of going to this part of the Bronx. It's so worth it though. read more

I go here for everything from my beater to my main car and for most if not all issues that I come across. I don't just cone here because its nearby but because they are the best mechanics by far I've come across within the Bronx. Whether its for a check up or to install components here and there these are the guys that get the job done and at a good rate. read more

After 3 years in NYC it finally happened. I had to take my car to the mechanic. Many sleepless nights were had tossing and turning due to menacing nightmares of shifty mechanics. I have a 97 VW Jetta and after asking around at www.vwvortex.com Alberto's was mentioned. Family owned place that's been around a long time and they checked out with the Better Business Bureau. I dealt with the son, Erik who is a VW guy and he was great. Let me supply my own parts, caught some serious problems that my last two mechanics missed (or caused) and the price was very reasonable. I've only been there once but would go back again. One warning - CASH ONLY. Don't be like me, hitting the ATM next door 5 times in a row to get enough dough. If you are in the Bronx or are close and need a decent place, check it out. Easy to get on the bus and get back to the 4 train read more

The attendent at parking garage where my wife parks her car daily some how managed to hit our car and ripped off the bottom piece of plastic holding my front bumper together. Unfortunately we didn't notice this when leaving the garage so we where unable to have them repair te damages. While driving on the highways we heard some disturbing flapping noises. We pulled over and noticed that 40% of of our front bumper was hanging due to broken clips. We where extremely worried about how much this would cost. Our service mechanic said we have to order a totally new bumper which would cost an arm and a leg so left and decided to go to a friends mechanic in the BX. Let me tell you this. ..the previous mechanics I have been to all crooks. Erick worked on my car and fixed my bumper for just a FACTION of the price. Granted, it was farther then my previous mechanic, it was worth every mile! read more

HONEST MECHANICS ARE HARD TO FIND. My car made a scrapping sound every time I made a left turn. I was thinking something with my rotor but they told me it was just some plastic rubbing on it. They could've easily lied and told me it was something else. They're the best!! Will be going back if anything goes wrong with my car. read more

Eric fixed a sensor on my car. He was really fast and so nice about it, and the price was reasonable. Will definitely be back if I have more problems in the future. read more

Eric is the absolute best!!! No other mechanic could figure out what was wrong... he took his time drove the car and figured out the problem!!! I have a Volkswagen Jetta and he is very experienced with Vw and Audis. Got the parts needed to fix the car within an hour. Worth the drive if your in the tri state read more

Alberto and Eric as well as the rest of their team are great, honest men. I was looking for an auto mechanic and found them on yelp. What the 2 prior yelpers wrote were spot on. They explained everything to me as plain as possible. I came in to get an ignition coil replacement for my car...after they installed it..alberto took me out for a spin to prove everything was working perfectly...and it did I really recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good mechanic. I found my mechanic..and will be back for my performance mods! well done guys read more

The best and honest car repair you will find in the Bronx. Eric ,Jose ,Alberto the best they will find and fix the problem at a very good price read more

I had my AC compressor replaced from Alberto's last summer on my 2003 Honda CR-V. It worked great until last week then seized up and wasn't blowing cool air anymore. With the hot temperatures here, and spending hundreds of dollars repairing this last year I was frustrated. I brought the car back to Alberto's Auto Repair last week and he took a look at it and confirm the AC compressor failed again and he would order a replacement under warranty since the part failed so soon. Let me be completely honest, the owner is stand up guy and kept his word. Not many places have stand up people like this anymore and actually care about their customers by doing the right thing. I would recommend Alberto to anybody looking for quality work, fair prices, and a shop that actually cares about their customers. Thank you again. read more

Erik really helped me in a pinch. I got a flat on the side of the road and I was pulled over for only 1 minute when Dan pulled up behind me and offered to change my tire. He made my day and restored my believe that there are still great people in the world! I will certainly be going to Alberto's Auto Repair for my next repair needs. Thank you for your kindness! read more

My Mazda was leaking oil for way too long. I was so nervous to get it checked out (car is at over 250K miles!) but their pricing was fair for the work required and they squeezed me in right away in the morning and my car was fixed before lunch! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their car. read more

I don't let anybody else work on my cars! My transmission blew out and my radiator fan stopped working. Eric didn't charge me a arm and a leg for the repairs! Good people! read more

Alberto and his son Eric is the most honest mechanics u will ever meet. Very knowledgeable and fair prices. Been going to them over 20 years. They will tell u the problem and not do anything else than are not needed you will never go wrong with them. read more

They fixed my chin spoiler in a few minutes was really nice an helped get rid of my issue ASAP m

I can't say enough positive things about my experience here. We had to stop in unexpectedly while having trouble on the highway, without calling ahead. They immediately looked at the car and fixed what turned out to be a minor repair caused by a recent brake fix & tire rotation at a different shop in Queens a few weeks prior. We were back on the road in just a few minutes. Super honest, straight forward, and for what I consider to be a generous price. Thank you for taking such good care of us! read more

I have been going here for years. I actually deviated and it wound up costing me thousands. My transmission went out, I went to another mechanic who had it rebuilt, the month after the 18 month warranty it fell apart!!! Mind you I had gone to him months prior complaining, he claimed it was nothing! I went to Eric on the next round and he had me order one, from a wholesaler, it's been 2 years now the car runs like a dream, did I mention it was half the price with Eric!!! He was honest he doesn't believe have of the guys who claim to rebuld transmissions actually do, and he was right, my car has over 150k miles, they have been taking care of it for over 7 years now and it runs great. It's worth the treck to the "Boogie Down". read more

There is always one great mechanic in any neighborhood. Albertos is that place in the South Bronx. I moved in two years ago trucking my 1997 Honda Passport with high miles. Albertos has always been fast, responsive and very, very affordable. They get in same day when I have an emergency and always explain exactly what the problem is and what it's going to cost. I've had brakes and shocks all the way around done, replacing busted tailight, side mirror, misfiring cylinder, alternator and a few other minor problems. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I dropped my car off at Alberto's this morning with several things wrong - headlight out, door not opening, etc., etc. I was called at 2:00pm and told my car was ready to go...for only $75! The service was great, the owner was super communicative with me, and it was very reasonably priced. I won't go anywhere else again! Thanks! read more

I called this place, and Erick picked up. I needed my front lights repaired, and Erick told me to come in so he could take a look. I visited, and he was nice enough to let me know that the lights I had were not right. He helped me google a few places where I could purchase lights at a reasonable price. read more

My son' Honda accord needed exhaust system work. It was making a terrible deafening noise. We went to Alberto's because of the good the good reviews in yelp. Spoke with Erick and he told me he was extremely busy and it would be a while until he got to our car. When he got to our car the only thing wrong were three rotted nuts. Erick could've told me pipes or muffler needed to be replaced but he told me what was wrong and fixed it for a fraction of what we were expecting to spend. Thanks and I will be returning next time any of my cars need work done. read more

My family and I have been going to this family own reliable shop for years. We've recommend people from all over and out of state to come to the shop. They don't hit you over the head with over exaggerated prices. They're very thorough and methodical with their work. Anything and everything I've ever come to the shop to fix I've never had to return for the same issue, even years later. If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more

Went there on a recommendation thought i needed my cv axel replaced they pointed out that i didn't, they easily could have done expensive unnecessary work. They where very helpful and fast. I would definitely go back in the future. read more
