I spoke with Drew on the phone and was very impressed by the level of professionalism and support. I found Bay Diagnostic online after a not so great experience with my local auto repair shop. I mentioned that I might need a new alternator. But it turned out all that was needed was a new battery. I appreciate the honesty. The battery was replaced the same day. The replacement included a two year warranty. Highly impressed ! read more

very understanding plus so Helpful.' Jordan is number 1 He is very knowledgeable about products and listen to him so you feel comfortable I trust Jordan over 35 years Thank you Jordan Stewart Gross read more

Here's a polished and professional version of your review that keeps the details and frustration while making it easier for others to read: Terrible experience this morning, and I drove all the way to Brooklyn for it. I called the day before and spoke with a gentleman who was very polite and helpful. I explained exactly what was wrong with my car, told him I already had the replacement parts, and mentioned there were several repairs I needed done. He told me it wouldn't be a problem and to come in the next morning. I arrived at 7:30 AM and met with the owner. I explained everything that was wrong with the vehicle and told him about my conversation from the previous day. He took my information, and everything seemed fine at first. Then he told me he doesn't go by what other employees say and that he would need to plug the car into a diagnostic machine to do his own assessment. I said okay, but then he started telling me that even if the repairs were needed, it might take time to get the parts. I reminded him that I already had all of the parts for my vehicle. That's when he informed me that he doesn't install customer-supplied parts. My question is: Why wasn't that explained to me yesterday when I specifically called ahead and told the employee I already had the parts? That information would have saved me a trip to Brooklyn. From that point on, the conversation became increasingly unpleasant. I explained that I've dealt with mechanics in the past who have tried to upsell unnecessary repairs, especially because many customers--particularly women--may not always know enough about cars to challenge a diagnosis. I wasn't asking him to guess what was wrong; I was telling him exactly what I wanted repaired and was prepared to pay for those specific repairs. Instead of listening, he became defensive and argumentative. When I mentioned that some mechanics take advantage of women, he responded by telling me he was married and had a wife. That had absolutely nothing to do with my point. I wasn't accusing him of anything personally--I was explaining why I wanted transparency and why I called ahead to confirm everything before making the trip. Ironically, the lack of communication from his own employee is exactly what caused this problem. If the shop doesn't install customer-supplied parts, that should have been clearly stated during my phone call. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone the day before was professional, respectful, and helpful. Unfortunately, my interaction with the owner was the complete opposite. His attitude, lack of customer service, and unwillingness to communicate professionally made this one of the worst experiences I've ever had with an auto repair shop. My advice: Call ahead and get every detail in writing. Make sure you understand their policies before driving out there. Based on my experience, proceed with caution. read more

I neverrrrrrrr ever wrote a yelp review before but who ever that man was that picked up the phone was way too rude. I called to ask a questions about tints. I am a new car owner I had no knowledge of it. It's free to be kind, even if you may think the question is "stupid". They need to get it tf together or have better customer service. That man must of been on his menstrual period today, someone buy him a pad for the heavy flow. read more

Bay Diagnostic - Auto Repair Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had a great experience at Bay Diagnostics! Drew and Jordan were honest and straightforward. They communicated well. I dropped our car off early in the morning. They took my car in and completed the service we requested more quickly and efficiently than expected. I usually dread anything involving mechanics and auto repairs. But I had such a good experience, I will return to Bay Diagnostics for routine maintenance and any other auto repair needs my family has in the future. I'm grateful. read more

Jordan and the guys took care of my BMW brakes for way cheaper than the dealership. They used factory parts and did a great job. I will be going back to them for all my service needs. read more

Everything! Great repair experts for my 2010 Audi TT They have great people and they are very courtesy and don't rush you at all!

I have been to Bay Diagnostic twice and they have always resolved my car problems. They are very professional and the owner is amazing. He is also very kind and generous. I highly recommend brining your car for the best service. read more

Avoid this place at all cost. I wouldn't trust this guy with my goldfish let alone my car. Jordan, the owner, was extremely rude and disrespectful. You would think someone his age would've learned to speak to people by now. Horrendous customer service. He paid google to get my review removed. Don't trust what you read online. Take your car to someone who actually cares, its time for this guy to retire... read more

So here's the deal, if you have a bmw range rover Porsche cayenne, Mercedes, ect, their all money pits, that the reality of it especially if the warranty is up, their cheap used because the repairs typically exceed the value of the car. Repairs will be beyond expensive for labor and inferior parts. Don't wanna come here buy a lexus or a Toyota. Long story short- ive been here several times over the years, for my 750i vanos issue and oil consumption on a 41k mile car which the dealer would not fix while still under warranty, and crap they even could not diagnosis (transmission is a sealed system). My several range rovers have been here for suspension issues height sensors, wiring harness, shocks ect.. they even caught stuff a deal inspection missed leaking rear diff, and ABC body roll on the 750i. Pro's Honestly better then the dealer. Jordan was great- fair no pressure to fix anything or finding other crap mechanics are probably ex factory techs with more experience if i made the mistake of buying these cars this is where i'd bring it. Cons Not cheap maybe on par or alittle less then dealer Parts are marked up Sometimes shops busy and you gotta wait So if you own one of these cars- i feel bad for you- your gonna pay out the ass, but these dudes will fix it correctly- its just not gonna be cheap read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS THIEF!!!! Jordan replaced multiple parts of my Mercedes over the past few years, and I trusted him as he knew my husband who passed away a few years ago as well. He put a battery that was not Mercedes in my car, he put the wind shield wipers in the wrong way, the "changed" the sensors, and various other parts of my car that he swore needed to be fixed. He charged me the price that you normally would for Mercedes parts despite that fact that NONE of the parts he used on my car were Mercedes. My car kept having issues so mindlessly I kept returning and he continued to take advantage of A WIDOW!!!! Of someone who he used to be friends with none the less. I finally found an honest mechanic who pointed out all of the real issues and what it comes down to is that JORDAN TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HIS CUSTOMERS, PURPOSELY USING WRONG CAR PARTS AND CAUSING MORE ISSUES TO MAKE MONEY! STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT TO FIX YOUR VEHICLE, AND AVOID GETTING RIPPED OFF OR ANY FURTHER DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE!! THIEF!!! read more

I was a loyal customer but no longer. I went in for an oil change and they said I needed an air filter and cabin filters. I agreed. Never ever in my wildest dreams did I expect an oil change and replacing 3 filters would cost 475 dollars. A total and utter rip off and absolute disgrace. read more

Charge more money, then shops nearby. Explaining wrong information!!!!!!! OVERPRICED read more

Had suspension bar link repaired in June. Had the car over 5 years first time for this repair. In December I needed the same repair but on both sides. When Bay Diagnostics replaced the part it was replaced upside down and only lasted a few months. Good thing I didn't go back to Bay Diagnostics. The new shop told me you had this repair done before and it was replaced upside down not knowing I did indeed do the repair not too long ago. I would be very skeptical using this place. read more

I have always had my Lexus dealer service my Lexus cars for many years. Lately I haven't been so happy with their service procedures. I decided to try Bay Diagnostics. They did extensive repairs on my car ie: brakes, tires, axle shaft assembly replacement, plus other things too much to list. Everything was done with perfection. NO MORE LEXUS DEALER, ALL MY FUTURE MECHANICAL WORK WILL BE DONE BY BAY DIAGNOSTICS!!! The people there were all very pleasant to deal with no pressure, just suggestions about the repair your car might need. The person I spoke to is Keith. read more

Jordan the owner verbally acosted me stating, "if you don't tell me the truth it's going to cost you more." Yelling at me, insulting and ridiculing me from start to finish. I took two days off work, both unplanned because they told me to tow it in and then refused to accept the car even though I explained the tumbler had been removed. Then another day to have it towed to another shop. As I explained to Jordan the car belongs to my MOM and has some sentimental attachment because it was my FATHERS who recently passed away. I apologise if I don't know the exact history of who initially tried repairing the car but it was someone who took $200 from my elderly MOM, unlike Jordan who took around $275 plus removed the back seat and didn't put it back in. FYI the battery is in the trunk not under the back seat! I personally covered the cost of Jordans"labor", which I guess he claimed was to call Mercedes-Benz to get the cost of the ignition. Thanks for charging $275 to destroy the back seat. In addition, I covered the cost to have it repaired for my MOM of $750 at another shop, plus Jordan's ridiculous charge of $275 and the my MOM paying $200 to a locksmith. So all in $1,225 for an ignition. Man, I am in the wrong business! $475 basically stolen from an elderly woman! The tow truck driver let Jordan know how he was speaking and treating me was unacceptable. The tow truck driver had to get involved because Jordon wouldn't release the car because he was "on lunch". The tow truck couldn't wait an hour for Jordan to finish lunch, which would require me paying for another tow. When I went in to ask Jordan to please release the car he cursed at me and slammed the door, literally hitting my leg with the door. The tow truck driver couldn't believe it! Literally slammed the door on my leg. Jordan's estimate of $2,300 to repair an ignition was fixed same day at another shop for only $750. I am sure he is going to respond to this post with a distorted version of the truth but the reality is he was terrible from the beginning to end. Even his own employees apologized for his behavior and bad manners. If you believe this shop has a 4 star review and mine is the only negative one, take a look at the reviewers, these are all fake accounts. Finally, Jordan claimed as part of the charges "$149 for a computer diagnosis" but never gave me the report, which as the mechanic who actually fixed the car explained is required.

Scam - promises original parts not original. Argues & a huge dishonest business. Buyer beware. read more

Scam artists. Came in for new tires and a wheel alignment and was told they couldn't perform the alignment and was quoted ~$2k for unnecessary work. Found Brooklyn Tire Warehouse who sold me two brand new tires and performed the alignment with no issues AND ended up spending 1/4 of the price. Don't trust the Google reviews... read more

Rude, condescending and obnoxious is what I'm reading in many other reviews about this shop. So true! Surprised they still in business.

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. I brought my Land Rover LR4 for in a coolant flush, brake fluid flush, and full synthetic oil change. Bay Diagnostic gave me all three services within about 4 hours, exactly what I asked for. Cost was a fraction of what the Manhattan dealership service center quoted me a few weeks ago. Team was very friendly - great customer service. I'll go back. read more

Went in for an oil change and heat shield rattle plus brake squeal. Came out with an estimate for over $1500. I was told the following: 1) The brake pads are worn and you need new rotors (To which I explained the rotors were changed a little over one year ago, surely they can't be warped or cracked? His only reply was "but you have slotted and drilled rotors and this isn't a race car. We'll use oem quality rotors") I replaced the pads elsewhere and they showed me there's nothing wrong with my "race car" rotors. The squeal was only a wear indicator with no damage to the rotors 2) this is where their tech earned them a couple stars. The outer tie rod end was loose. This was a good, honest catch on their tech's behalf 3) oil change was reasonable 4) they hand me my bill. I ask "what about the heat shield?".. They say "we can't reach that, it would cost at least an hour of labor to be able to reach that" read more

Terrible service. Overpriced. Rude. Opened up my engine bay for some work the next week and found bolts wrong/missing, incorrectly torqued. Guess they put it together any way they could because I picked it up right before closing. read more

Rude, obnoxious. If you bring your car in here , be sure you will walk out with a large bill, complete rip-off . Oh , and they throw in a typical shady Swindling mechanic trick by saying " we replaced this and that for free" ... wow thanks , something that cost $10 ... that I could have done myself ... but yet charged me an obscene amount for the issue I came in with which they did not fix , just did crappy patch work... $400 plus!! The rudeness and the constant BS the owner gives is baffling. They sense you're desperate , or really need help ... good luck , this place kicks you when you're down. Avoid this place!! . Check the below comments, there's a common problem. read more

This car repair shop is amazing!!!! I had to bring my car in last minute due to the fender of my car being loose and hanging. We called to see if they can repair it and they said to bring it in. We get there and they take my car in right away. The repair was less than 30 minutes and was fixed! Normally I would bring it to Toyota, which is where I lease my car, make an appointment, leave the car for the day, and pick up the next day. Bay Diagnostic was really professional, friendly, courteous, and warm. Not only that..but this was my first time at Bay Diagnostic and they repaired my car for free!!! A special shoutout to Keith who personally helped us today! You guys are awesome! I would highly recommend Bay Diagnostic. read more

Great service, timely, fairly priced. I've been Going to Bay Diagnostic for years. So far i have no complaints. read more

I'd wouldn't even give them a star. The man with the skin condition was very rude as I asked for a price on some parts. Asking me what's wrong with my car, so I told him. Then he tells me, how I know? I have a BMW scanner. Immediately he tells me, my scanner is irrelevant and his scanner is worth over $5000 like I give a damn. By him saying that, It lost my interest of doing any business with them. I bought mines for $200 and it never steered me wrong. I'm also a licensed auto mechanic and know how to do my own repairs on my vehicle. I just don't have the time and thought to bring it to a shop. Then he says, as he's looking for parts and prices, "I'm probably doing all this for nothing". Yes, you did do it for nothing because of your rude behavior. I also realized, I had to wash my hands after shaking his. read more

I went to Bay Diagnostic today to do the following service items: 1. Replace 6 spark plugs. 2. Install 6 Ign Coil Boots. 3. Replace Wiper Blades. 4. Flushed Transmission Fluids. 5. Inspection. 6. Replace Dome Light. 7. Replaced Engine Air Filter Set. Total come out to be 1217.30. This is quite a fair price. MB Brooklyn quoted me 3800 plus tax for the same service items. Before the service, engine idle speed is around 800 rpm and engine is pretty loud. After the service, engine idle speed dropped to around 550 rpm and engine became much quieter. read more

Went in for a check up on the speedometer on my Mini Cooper 2008. I was the 3rd or 4th person in there Waited almost 1:30 to hear back from them. I was told the car had two bad pieces. Can't remember the exact name of the pieces but it was connected to the front steering. When they gave me the price of what it would cost to fix it was absurd. They were asking 2300 dollars for two pieces. I understand that it's a BMW but that price was just crazy. While I waited at the office with other people the managers or owners continually talked bad about some of the customers who dropped of their cars. Took my mini to another shop certified by mini. They said the only thing missing in the car was a small clip on the brakes. Total cost of that was 10 dollars compared to their absurd 2300. read more

So to start off, this place was a life saver. I basically grew up in this area and walked by this place at least a thousand times and never thought to go in. I moved to Florida and actually drove all the way back to New York in my Mercedes C300. The day before I was supposed to go back, my car kept overheating. Apparently my engine fan was broken. I brought it to Mercedes originally and they wouldn't even touch my car, told me to bring it in, and when I did, they said I would need to leave my car there for at least a week before they would even look at it. So I said screw it and brought it to Bay Diagnostics. I believe the front desk was named James, VERY HELPFUL BTW, looked at it within the 10 minutes I was there and told me that I was looking at $2000+ because they said I might need to also change the thermostat since that might have been what was causing the issue. He ordered the parts right in front of me and told me that worse case scenario that it would be done by tomorrow instead of today. Honestly to me that was ALOT better than the alternative. Ended up only paying $1650 since he said it wasn't even the thermostat issue, only the fan. The price also included the oil change that I really needed. So no, I don't think this place is a scam, they are honest people. They could've definitely lied to me and not even do the thermostat and I wouldn't even have noticed lol. I would definitely come back. 10 out of 10 recommend. Another huge plus is that they look a lot cleaner and tidier than most car shops. read more

Your response clearly demonstrates your inability to take responsibility and throw blame on the customer. I sat with Allen regarding the sprayer issue and he clearly showed me what needed to be done to fix the washer problem on my car. Do not make this something that I miss understood or something that you were stating about another vehicle. Allen ran the parts and price for my car to fix this problem and he told me it was minimally $1,200 if the technicians didn't run into any problems. Shame on you for trying to throw cover on yourself by putting the blame on me. Also, don't make it sound as though I did not respond to u. You text me and I responded. We don't need to speak because I'm clear on these issues. I know exactly what took place, I'm an honest, decent and loyal person. Spin this any way you want but at the end of the day you have to live with yourself. read more

Bay Diagnostic is THE BEST. Old school service. Fast communication. Returned phone calls. Returned texts. Returned emails. Follow-up calls. Everything that Mercedes Benz chose to NOT do. Local, reliable, and good humor. Prices are fair and correct. MB thinks you're doing them a favor by driving an hour to midtown for three-day, unnecessary car repair. Bay Diagnostic, on the other hand, thanked me for choosing them and engaged in conversation, the way things should be. We're people, not just names and $'s. 2013 Smart ForTwo. Recent repairs include front brakes, muffler, accelerator pedal. I'll definitely go back for all of my Smart Car needs. One block from the Q train. Couldn't be easier. read more

I went to these guys a few years ago and their work was great. However since they got the service manager Keith, this place has turned into another rip-off garage. I do a lot of my own work on my BMW and know what's going on. Keith always has a BS story, tries to screw you on parts -he quoted me $1800 on the same parts that cost me $630 - and this has happened before as well. He always acts surprised when you call BS. I dont mind paying a premium for quality work, I mind getting getting cheated and lied to. If Jordan cares about his shop he should can Keith and get someone honest behind the desk read more

I never had their services but just from walking in and asking questions about my car. The owner was very condescending and argumentative and kept shooting me down saying i don't know my stuff and says over 35 yesrs of experience i know everything.

Bay Diagnostic recommended to me by my indy BMW shop in Boston when I moved to NY. I have been to their shop three times and I regret to say I won't go back. After my first trip to the shop for an annual oil change, I noticed the red oil warning light flashing on the dash. The light would usually come up after the car had been in traffic for a while and the engine was idling. I called them and they said it's probably nothing (to a red oil light nonetheless!). After a couple of weeks I went back for an unrelated issue (a bolt coming loose), which they fixed and again told me the oil light was probably nothing. Long story short, I took the car back to my Boston shop and had another oil change, which fixed the issue. My guess is they either use the wrong oil that would lose pressure at high temperature, or left a cap or something loose. Besides that experience, they were professional and courteous, and as others have mentioned very friendly. However, I can't really trust a shop that botches something as routine as an oil change. read more

after years of going to "the volvo specialists" i have decided that enough is enough. every time i take my car in one of two things happens...1.) i take my car in to fix one problem and end up fixing two or three others that i did not know i had. Having this happen to me every single time I took my car in made me a little suspicious to say the least. 2.) i have to take my car back because there is a problem with the way the repairs were done. its a pattern that has repeated too many times over too many years. so I am done... sorry Al. read more

We're giving Bay Diagnostic 4 stars, for now -- only, because we are on a wait and see. We haven't had any service or service quotes, just had a car inspected and service was GREAT! Check out our full review entitled Sheepshead Bites Diagnoses Bay Diagnostics at our website, but here's a little excerpt... The owners are professionals and have developed their business with an internet presence and printable coupons. Feel free to check their links to a video interview that one of the owners, Jordan Lee, did for The Auto Channel Aftermarket Business Magazine, as well as a cable TV advertisement. read more

I would like to make sure that people who are searching on Yelp see this review that I wrote on Google, just in case they don't see it. Review: I had high expectations about this company because of how many positive reviews I seen. However, after Speaking with Jordan, I understand that: 1- He has no patience for customers because he literally speaks over you. Not to mention how many times he spoke over me because even once is ill-mannered and completely insolent. 2- He is not as knowledgeable as he may seem to be due to the reputation that his company reviews hold. What happened was: I called to get a quote for Carbon Cleaning using Walnut Blaster. Carbon cleaning removes carbon from the intake valves, which can be found at the cylinder's head -- knowing that it makes complete logical sense to identify your car by providing the basic specifications such as: Make, Model, Year. Technically that's enough because Jordan can go the extra mile for the customer and look up what kind of chassis and engine belongs to that Make, Model, Year. But instead, I told Jordan the chassis and engine anyway, along with the Make Model and Year, which means he has everything he needs to know to get Carbon Cleaning done. Instead, Jordan insisted he needs a VIN and did not want to deal with me if I did not give him a VIN. VINs are unique identifiers for cars. **He has no reason to look at the VIN. And he could not provide me with one over the phone.** So he, therefore, hung up. I wish I had a recording of this call so that everyone may see his childish behavior, maybe his company has it saved, and he can post it here. I give permission from my end. read more
