I found Colvin Motor Parts through the Amsoil website, gave them a call, , verified they had what I was looking for in stock (Severe Gear 75w-90), and drove over from Queens. When I arrived, I was surprised to see that they also carried other hard to find (as compared to the big chains) brands like Motul, Royal Purple, Evans Waterless Coolant, SEM, the list goes on. I was about to pick the wrong transmission fluid when one of the guys suggested a slightly different formulation (GL4 vs. GL5). I looked it up on my phone and lo' and behold he was right. I'm amazed at how hard it is to find Amsoil product in brick and mortar shops throughout the five boroughs. Colvin Motor Parts is an amazing brick and mortar shop surviving in this age of e-commerce.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! SUPERB SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND!…read more I was recently purchasing a used vehicle in the area from a private seller and needed to have it checked by a professional. As luck would have it, I made the right decision in choosing Southside. Not only did they go well above and beyond to help me, I now have a trusted mechanic and used car dealer! When I arrived, Azeem and I took the car for a test drive. I could immediately tell he was a good mechanic. My ex of 15yrs was a mechanic, so I learned a thing or two myself. After the test drive, he put the car on the lift and completed a thorough inspection. He took his time and checked all aspects. He even pulled the blue book report for me at no cost and told me the value it was selling for at auction. In the end a few small repairs were needed which thanks to his help, I was able to negotiate with the seller to repair. All of this for 60 bucks! Upon finalizing the deal with the seller, I learned he never titled the vehicle in his name. Because I was buying the car with a bank loan, I wouldn't be able to cut him a check since the title was still in the prior owner's name. I was disheartened :( I really wanted THIS car. Before leaving town, I stopped back to talk to Azeem and get his thoughts on the matter. Did he think it was sketchy? He helped me confirm the prior owner and was confident the car was legit. Since he is also a registered car dealer, he offered a solution that he could purchase the car and then sell it to me and complete the necessary title transfer paperwork. He carries insurance that would cover any unforeseen issue, but was confident it was fine. Problem solved! He would charge a $150 fee for the service which I felt was reasonable and would negotiate with the seller to help cover the cost. We made arrangements to meet the following Saturday. Azeem confirmed the repairs were made and he (and his uncle) were VERY patient with me and my other half as we were having second thoughts and concerns. We couldn't help our New Yorker skeptical minds from spinning and wondering why is this person helping us?! And for a measly $150?? We were still nervous despite thoroughly researching all parties involved prior. The next snafu was since it was Saturday, no DMV in the area was open. Azeem to the rescue again! He recommended a Private Service Bureau (https://dmv.ny.gov/more-info/private-service-bureaus) that could register and issue plates for me on the spot (Robert Pehnke (http://www.pehnke.com). Not sure why anyone would wait in line when these guys can do it for you in minutes for a mere $25. SOOOO WORTH IT! But, the DMV computer shut down by 2p and the seller had time constraints that prevented him from meeting us until 1p. We felt extremely pressured to make a decision in short time, but Azeem and his uncle helped talk us through it. They didn't add to the pressure and were fine with whatever decision we made. Ultimately, we decided to move forward. Azeem completed the paperwork in a jiff and let the DMV guy know I was on the way. I was able to get the registration and plates in a matter of minutes and we drove our new car home that afternoon! We received the title in the mail 2-3 weeks later and knew then the deal was 100% legit. We are so glad we took the leap of faith and can't thank Azeem and Southside enough! We LOVE our car which is absolutely perfect and have already taken it on several long road trips (one of which we had the aforementioned ex check it out to confirm it was a sweet deal and in excellent condition). As it turns out, there was no ulterior motivation other than Azeem being a kind and helpful person. He and his uncle really did us a solid and we are extremely grateful! I can't say this about other dealers I've encountered over the years and about very few mechanics, but I trust Azeem and WOULD SEND MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY to him WITHOUT HESITATION for mechanical assistance or help purchasing a used car. If you're looking for a specific vehicle they don't already have for sale, they'll check the auctions for you.

The guys at the front seemed nice and friendly, but started to ask me a lot of questions about the car -- probably to size up whether they could take me for a ride. A few minutes later, they came back and claimed that my brakes needed to be fully replaced because the brake pads had "completely worn away" -- in their words, "metal on metal." I knew that our brake pads were due for a change in the next month or two, but because our car gets serviced every six months, I told them there was no way the pads were so worn down they couldn't pass the inspection. They claimed they couldn't pass the inspection, but that they "wouldn't fail" the car, "as a courtesy." Red flags everywhere. Before packing up to go, I asked them to show me. They brought me over and flashed a flashlight on the front wheels. When I pointed out that the brakes and brake pads aren't visible unless the tires are off, they said they'd remove the tires to show me (which they apparently hadn't done yet). I told them no way and headed out of there. Went straight to our car dealer's service center, who confirmed -- on video -- that our car had 2mm of brake pads on both front brakes and should have passed any inspection.

If I could give a ZERO star review I would! Car went in for a transmission rebuild. A week later…read morethe transmission crapped out and the car was brought back to the shop. The owner refused to tow our car and made us get a private tow. After telling us the car was under warranty, the owner requested money from us stating that the issue wasn't what crapped out, and blamed the car breaking down on some other "problem". After reluctantly paying we got our car back. Fast forward a month later and the car completely breaks down a second time. The owner once again refused to pick up the car causing us to pay for another private tow. We were reluctant to return the car to them but the transmission should be under warranty right? WRONG! We get told the car has a "problem". The car has been in the shop for almost a month now with no progress or work being done. Every time you call they are unable to give updates and the answer is call back later and speak to the owner. Over and over again. Call back later and speak to the owner. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE!!! Car still has a "problem" but no one will tell you what the problem is. Workers are rude and nasty on the phone and hang up on you. Everyday it's another story, your cars not ready...call back tomorrow. To make matters worse they are REQUESTING MORE MONEY FROM US EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. This business is trying to rip off the customers and has the worst customer service. We will never go back or recommend this business to anyone! STAY AWAY!!!! OR ELSE YOUR CAR MIGHT HAVE A "PROBLEM"!!!
