Always fair, professional staff, friendly and kind, priced well, always told what repair needs immediate attention and what can wait. I have been going to John for decades and have never had a problem, so much so, that I always refer my family and friends to him. read more

John and his team have been reliable every time I call. They get me in quick and the repairs, sometimes quite extensive are done right away. They have earned my trust with repeated good service. I highly recommend this garage! read more

I can not express how great it is to deal with everyone at Car Kings. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable and pleasure to deal with. The work is impeccable and the prices are reasonable (especially in today's climate). I've had all my cars (up to 5 now) worked on there - from a transmission change (still going), to a royal pain in the...tow hitch installed. The turnaround time is insanely quick and I simply refuse to head in over to the dealer (unless they tell me to)(even if under warranty). With that, don't be a fool and go anywhere else. read more

I'm editing my review, these guys are scammers and charge way above the customary rate. My TPMS was never on they replaced it for they found it was cracked, now 2 months later its on. Went back today and the service I received was disgusting. John, was so unprofessional and his demeanor was beyond disgusting. Please do your self a favor don't come here. Mind you, they had my car and were asking for a good review practically before they released my car. I did give them the review because I was scared for what they would do to my car while in their posession. I'm so regretful I came back, its just disgustung and my tpms still on and they wash their hands its not their issue. read more

I would not recommend. First of all, the parking is a nightmare. If you have just started driving like myself, the lot is difficult to navigate. I tried to bring in my car for an inspection, and I did not have a chance to put in the new plates yet. The person told me it would immediately fail inspection, and when asked if they could put the plates on the vehicle, told me they cannot do it. Now, I'm sure there was a legal reason as to why this is, but I wouldn't know because the employee did not give me any explanation on this issue or provide any helpful/constructive suggestions or advice on the issue. Maybe the employee was angry because I couldn't move my car out of the way fast enough when he asked. The interaction was unprofessional. read more

My husband purchased an older Mercedes from a dealer with a few issues that car kings was able to take care of for us on two separate occasions. Their service has been fast and very professional both times. John, the owner, is great and very personable. He explains everything that needs to be done in terms that can be easily understood to someone who knows nothing about cars. The pricing is definitely fair and upfront! Would highly recommend! read more

I have been to Car Kings twice now and they are definitely my new go-to for VW service. The first time I went to get my battery replaced and did not get the usual scamming attempts I've gotten from dealerships and other service providers. They did not, for example, lie and tell me I needed a new alternator or other major electrical work as other places have. They checked those things and said I did *not* have any other issues. They also did a lot of free minor maintenance and showed me a potentially dangerous tire issue they had noted. They explained everything carefully. The prices weren't low, but they were reasonable and matched their up front estimate and there were no unexpected charges. So I went back to get the tire issue addressed and an oil change and again got excellent service. They fixed a long-standing issue I'd had with the tire pressure monitor, which my dealer had been unable to fix, at no charge! Both times I asked to wait for the car as I am a good distance away and they worked on my car immediately. Overall, i have been highly impressed and will be using them going forward. read more

Came here for a car inspection, and the service was fast and courteous. They also have a large lot, which means it's easy to drop your car off. Some of the mechanics near the city (and in the city) have tiny lots so it can get tricky dropping your car off. Car Kings also has a large interior with plenty of seating. I found myself a new mechanic! read more

I have a had a few bad experiences with mechanics over the years but this takes the cake! I took my car to to Car Kings because my Jaguar was leaking oil after hitting a speed bump. I know a good bit about cars from my racing days but I don't have a lift so I brought it to them. After keeping my car for hours they finally called and I went to get my car. Here is what they told me... they said that when I hit the speed bump I did a lot of damage. They said I bent the oil filter, bent the oil cooler and the unit that holds the filter. They said it needed to be fixed immediately and that I shouldn't drive it. The price they gave me to repair... $1,800.00!!! They said I needed to replace everything including the hoses! I told them I couldn't afford to pay that and they said well, that's up to you, we put some oil in it, cleaned it up, and tightened the filter. They charged me $165.00 for that and said good luck! The problem is, that seemed like BS to me so I took it to another mechanic. The second mechanic's diagnosis; you bent the oil filter and knocked it loose. He re-tightened it, double checked the oil and said there's nothing else wrong with your car! His fee... $25.00! It's been two months since then and my car hasn't lost a drop of oil. The moral of this story, if I didn't question Car Kings I would have been ripped off for $1,800.00! Did they purposely try to rip me off? I don't know, but either way, they either dishonest or negligent and I don't deal with either You've been warned! Don't take the first estimate, EVER! Also, if you drive an expensive car, you are a target. So a quick response to your absurd explanation. I waited three months just be sure there would be no issues with my car! I was unhappy the moment you misdiagnosed and over charged to tighten the filter and add some oil. I'm just glad I found an honest, not greedy mechanic who obviously knows cars better than you, or maybe more honest. Either way, I notice any time you get a bad review it's NEVER your fault, always the "bad" or "fake" customer no big deal, all good on my end now. Just letting people know "caveat emptor" read more

SEPT 2020 - Had a great experience with these guys. Needed a thorough second opinion-- first shop said my '97 E250 was good to go after a quick once-over. The Jasper transmission kept on with a slow leak and Jasper suggested Car Kings. John picked up the call and had me in first thing next morning. He was careful not to over-diagnose and take each problem one step at a time so that I could stay in budget and come back as necessary. Really pleasant staff. I'll be happy to call them FIRST for the rest of the van's life. read more

Great service to my vehicle. They use all top of the line parts, and are very thorough with service and inspection of the car. Honest guys. Good customer service, you get an emailed invoice prior to the service with itemized costs. Cleaned my car interior and exterior after service. read more

Special attention to customer service. Never experienced any dealership or car service/repair center putting your needs ahead of their business. They will provide honest assessment of situation with accurate pricing. John is very straight forward with issue and quote. I had a major issue with my car and he diagnosed it accurately and fixed it in no time which resolved the issue completely. Anthony ensures you are well informed on a timely basis and works towards delivery of the committed timeline. All in all, they take pride in their work, treat you well, very friendly, trustworthy and most importantly it was a drama free experience read more

Such a terrible experience! I was severely over charged for parts & labor.. & on top of that, the problem I went there for, was not fixed, at all!! SMDH.. I WISH I HAD NEVER WENT THERE!!!!!! read more

john the owner is great he explains and also shows you everything i just brought a 73 xke jaguar and the right front brake was making a noise he went over it with me and showed me the brakes were almost new and that that noise was maybe dust and it would go away and yes it did. he also fixed my exhaust which was hanging loose and making a noise. this was the first time going to car kings and now i know i made a wise choice. joe lomuscio read more

I'm about to sell my car cause the inexperienced mechanics at Car Kings ruined it, the front right hightlight which they took weeks to try to fix (not qualified) is still not working, in fact much of what they did on my car only made things worse. The battery that he sold me not long ago went bad and he said he replaced it with a new just a couple months ago. i really doubt it since the battery has needed to be jumped and i've even tried to recharge it but it wont hold a charge bottom line is this he didnt replace the battery or the batteries they are using are junk either way stay away from this place if you have a car you care about. The young KIDS he hired are not properly trained to work on cars like a BMW read more

Anthony and his team not only service the car wonderfully but he also had hands on customer service. He constantly kept me informed on the progress with my car. There was an exceedingly fast turnaround. All-around a great experience I would recommend Car King to anyone. The staff was also amazing. Anthony even offered to wait with me for my Uber to arrive even after the shop had closed. read more

For all your car needs I recommend this family caring place. They tell it how it is and do the right thing no reading in between the lines. This place will definitely become your family auto body place after one visit. Anthony and the staff was great in helping me and making sure my car is safe and taken care of the right way at only a fair price. read more

I started coming here when Nissan was screwing me royally with prices and incorrect services. John and his team were great. Extremely reasonable prices, quick service and very helpful with tips to keep my car in tip top shape. I'm actually due for service and bringing it here again. I have recommended them to others who have been very happy with their services. read more

Reliable, fast, and around the corner!! After a BMW Dealership NIGHTMARE I went through, these guys were able to help me and give me a second opinion on a diagnosis for my car. Thank God I found them. Will be coming back for sure!! read more

I go to Car Kings for my personal as well as my business vehicles. They maintain my fleet with fast efficient service and fair prices. They guarantee their work for one year which most places won't do. I still haven't had to take them up on that offer as none of the repairs have broken. If you want honest mechanics with fair prices you should come to this place. It's important to note they also do wheel alignments which lots of places don't do. Thanks guys for my new tranny its still working great! read more

It was our first time at Car Kings and we needed to get the car repaired that day. We called John at Car Kings based on a recommendation from the Triple A man who serviced our car. We had a few things we needed repaired. John is fair and honest. He repaired exactly what we needed to have fixed a reasonable price. He did not push any other repairs that would have been unnecessary. This is an owner who I have a pleasure doing business with. He treats his customers fairly and professionally. I would certainly recommend this place to family and friends, as well as strangers stranded on the road! read more

Impressive customer service with top notch work. Anthony kept me informed throughout the repair process. Never did I feel hassled to make additional repairs actually they helped me decide what repairs take prioritiy and what could wait. The itemized bill was great with an extra section noting repairs I still need and why. Overall a fantastic experience and all my car repair/inspection business is now going to Car Kings! read more

Started my car in the morning to the dreaded check engine light being on! After some online research came across Car Kings in my home town of Wallington. Briefly explained the issues I was having with my car to the service manager Anthony. He was extremely professional over the phone and explained the process of how they will diagnose the problem. Took my car at 1 in the afternoon and by 2:45 they gave me a full report on what was causing the problem. Outside of what was causing the check engine light to turn on they also advised of some minor issues they noticed. However there was absolutely no pressure to perform all services they noticed. The owner John was the one who actually called me to go over the report they ran through the diagnostic scan. They could not have been more helpful and make you feel at ease knowing your car is in good hands. By 6pm I was back in my car and it was running like new!! To top it all of the prices are right in line with what I would expect to spend for my repairs. Excellent service, fair pricing, and mechanics who talk to you like a normal person what more can you ask for from a mechanic. I HIGHLY recommend this mechanic to any friends and family or anyone in general looking for a reliable and friendly shop. Thank you Anthony & John from a very happy customer. read more

In preparation for the possible purchase of a used car on craigslist, my husband and I called up Car Kings to inquire about their inspections. Though we didn't end up buying the car (and therefore didn't need the inspection this time around), I feel inspired to write this review because of how friendly, informed and genuinely helpful Anthony was over the phone, thoroughly filling us in on the process (including where we could grab a bite nearby while we waited) and advising us from his first-hand experience on the models we were considering. To top it all off, he told us to call him with any questions we had about cars in the future, even if they don't end up inspecting/servicing them (!). Though we live in Brooklyn and might not have the chance to bring whatever car we do end up purchasing to Car Kings in NJ, I wanted to share the above and beyond customer service experience we had with Anthony, so that those of you who are fortunate to live close by will know what good hands you'll be in. read more
