So we all think "If I was a mechanic, I wouldn't hose all these fools that dont know a carburetor…read morefrom a alternator like my mechanic does." But when it comes down to it most people would probably still add a little extra to repairing the cars of the totally clueless. For some reason Jake a Thoroughbreds appears to have taken some secret oath not to do this. This place is amazing. A small shop that doesn't inspire complete confidence from its humble exterior, Jake, the owner, and Mike handle almost all general car repairs. You can bring a car into him almost any time they are open and he will stop what he is doing, immediately take a look at your car and let you know what needs to be done. The idea of charging money or having to wait to find out what is wrong with the car is completely foreign to Jake. Now here comes the best part, if something doesn't need to be repaired or somewhere else will do it for cheaper, Jake will actually tell you that and charge you nothing. I just went into him to have my leaky radiator replaced and when I asked him about also getting new tires he said he would do it but "To be honest Alex, you are probably better off taking it to a place that specializes in tires, they will do it for less money." My mouth nearly hit the ground. It is not that Thoroughbreds is dirt cheap or some amazing free give away. They charge fair prices that are about average for the work they do BUT you will not find a place that has faster service or more genuine mechanics.

Feel like I'm giving away a golden goose by telling other people how good Jake is, but the guy…read moredeserves the extra business. Thoroughbred/Jake is: -very fair price wise -honest as far as telling you the work that NEEDS to be done (not the dealers dishonest version) -will give you cheaper alternatives/work-arounds if available. -has quick repair times and punctual with promised completion times

Tom's Automotive Specialists is amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough…read more I had a breakdown over the weekend and my regular shop was booked all week (Anita Tire in River Vale) On a recommendation, I gave Tom's Automotive a call. Mark was extremely helpful over the phone and made time to take a look at my car the same day. I was afraid it would be a larger repair (catalytic converter) but he called back within 2 hours to let me know it was the spark plugs and coils. He gave me an estimate and his recommendation along with a cheaper option, in case I couldn't afford the more expensive repair. Work was done within 24 hours with great attention to detail. Mark, Tom, and the entire team were friendly, professional, and honest. In the interests of cost, I have driven pre-owned cars most of my life so I'm no stranger to the inside of an auto shop. These guys are the best.

A little understanding and courtesy would have gone a long way. It's disappointing to be treated this way as a returning customer, especially when I was already stressed about my car.

They did the oil change, however the next repair also would've needed a complete oil change as well to complete the repair. Instead holding off the initial oil change for when the second job was completed, I ended up paying for two oil changes within a period of three days. It was sloppy work, to say the least... and possibly purposeful negligence. Either way, it should never have happened. Very disappointing.
