They were miracle workers with my 1991 Toyota Camry and they never made me feel lame for wanting to keep it running. And i was always pleasantly surprised by their reasonable rates. As a woman in NYC for the last 20 years, i have been taken advantage of by some shady mechanics. That's why I'm sooooo grateful to have found Grease!!! They're speedy, knowledgeable, and fair. They even helped me find my newer car - a 2008 Subaru Forester, which I love!! (It belonged to another customer that upgraded, so they were very familiar with the car and recommended it to me.) I trust them so much I even paid to have my car towed all the way from NJ rather than risk dealing with someone I don't trust or who may not be as skilled as the team at Grease. I could go on and on, but trust me, the extra effort or expense to tow or drive or whatever to get your car to Grease will save you money and a headache in the end!!

I had this intermittent issue with the acceleration on my car. The problem kept happening, but never when I would bring it into service. Today it happened again on my way from work. I wanted to drive straight to a mechanic to see what the problem was. I saw these men standing outside, and I flagged them down. Their service station was already closed but they took time to help and explain to me what could be happening. It's sometimes hard to find a mechanic you can trust. But I can say wholeheartedly I would trust all of my car repairs with Great Kills service station. The young gentleman there Geo and Roman were not only patient and kind they took the time to look at my car when the service station was not even open and gave me great advice. I am so appreciative of them. They are truly honest, good gentlemen. I recommend this service station to everyone.

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO FINALLY WRITE THIS REVIEW, BUT I HAD TO MAKE SURE I COULD GET THE POINT…read moreACROSS THAT YOUR THE BEST! I was having car issues and well to be honest every place i took it to had a different opinion (1) My alternator was done (2) There was electrical issues. All opinions but didn't want to mess around with it themselves. I was told to call a guy who specializes in electrical who comes to your house (pretty awesome) and made an appointment. I had to wait two weeks since he was on vacation but he came and everything checked out that i just needed an alternator and didn't see what everyone was making a big deal over. So within a week i went back to the place who told me to call him and gave him his diagnostics. They gave me the run around about being busy etc and never called back, which was disappointing because me and my family have used them regularly in the past for years now. Anyways i called around and got price quotes from several shops located by me on the south shore, so i decided on Sears even tho honestly i hate the work they do but the price was $200 lower then other places i made the appointment to go in. It was no picnic getting my car there since my alternator was dead id have to charge my battery fully to run it , then it would die, and id i have to repeat until i got to my destination. Finally got it to Sears to be fixed and well i got a call back because they couldn't fix it due to some bracket that i needed from Lexus etc. i called Lexus and could have the bracket it 2 days once ordered. I called Sears back told them the news etc and i received a call back from the shop manager who basically gave me the boot because they didn't want to be responsible to fix it because of some bolt that was seized to the engine and said i should take it to Lexus. Feeling defeated at this point since no one can fix my car, and losing my job since this was a dragged on procedure for about two months. I called a friend who is about an hour away in NJ who happens to be a mechanic who insisted if i got my car there he would definitely figure out how to fix it . So i was back to the drawing board and stated calling tow places to get quotes to get my car towed out to NJ. NOW FINALLY TO THE POINT OF WHERE COLONIAL AUTO REPAIR CAME INTO THE STORY! My best option was to use my Geico roadside assistance since they covered most of the fees besides the extra mileage, I explained the situation since my car was sitting in the mall parking lot by sears and where i needed it to go in NJ. I received a call back from the tow truck dispatch who put me though to who i would believe to be the owner of colonial (Tommy). I went through the whole story you all have basically read now, where he said if you don't mind ill take a look at it since he has an auto shop and see if i can fix it. He would be happy to pick up the business and well save me the money on the tow. He was very busy that day at the shop but he said he could look at it for sure the next day. He said he would let me know if he could fix it and if not he could tow it out to NJ. At the end of the conversation I of course look up reviews on Yelp and well agh i got a little nervous. However, when you read most of them they don't pertain to his business more the gas station side and what did i have to lose, I was already between a rock and a hard place. I got my car there right before they closed that night and well i must say i've never seen so many vehicles at an auto place, i couldn't even park lol. This was a definite sign that they do good business. Waiting inside as they process everything i hear who i would assume is a lady who works there saying good bye to everyone (Sir, Jr, Etc.) This was where i learn that its a family run business and i love that. The next day comes, i get a call from Tommy's son who explains to me that there is an electrical issue beyond the alternator. He explained that they had just put in a new one and it burnt it out. We spoke about an estimate on what the electrical would run me before he did the work but was confident he could find it and fix it etc. I gave him the OK and received another phone call about roughly 2 hrs later telling me it was fixed =-) He explained in detail what he had to do and why it probably happened etc. I honestly still today cant believe how much time he spent in communicating with me over my car issues, and this is coming from someone who normally you have to tell to shut up. I went to pick up my car and actually got to meet Tommy, i made sure to tell him overall how thankful i was. The people there are wonderful and i'm a GUARANTEED REPEAT CUSTOMER. It takes me about 30min without traffic to get there BUT its worth it. I'll actually be going there to get my inspection done before the month is up, i know they don't make money on it but its just to show face that i will be a future repeat customer, and ahh who knows if ill pass inspection, maybe they will have something else to fix =-)

A rare find on Staten Island these days. If you want just another station who will eat up your money you can go elsewhere.
