Nice guy but charged me 240$ for a audi oil change. Claimed that the oil drain plug was stripped and he had to buy a new one, 7$ from autozone. If he did or didn't strip it the charge was ridiculous. Lost a potential good customer with 3 vehicles. read more

Very helpful and transparent mechanic. Easy to communicate with and very informative. I really appreciated his business and I will return again if I ever have a problem with my car. read more

On a recent trip to Lewes we ran over an object in the road, we pulled over and looked at the underside but could see nothing. Later going slow on uneven pavement we could hear a noise, again checked the rear wheel area, nothing. We found CJ's on a search and drove over. The woman behind the counter was pleasant and assurred us that a tech would be with us soon. After a short wait the tech came, looked under the chassis and assessed the damage, tore off a damaged part of a shield and then test drove the car with us. The noise was gone and though he indicated there was some minor damage to the underside of the carriage, there was no serious damage. He then said that there would be no charge. This guy was a very knowledgable professional, friendly and kind. I'd trust him with any repair. read more

CJ is an honest and gifted mechanic. I trust him with all of my car's services and advice on cars in general.

CJ is easily the best mechanic I've ever dealt with - and since I'm the owner of an old Saab convertible I talk from experience. Most recently he managed to take a car that was lurching and seizing up - diagnose the problem correctly (unlike others) -- it was a leaky fuel injector -- and then spent days working on it to bring the car back into action at a very reasonable cost. Had I not gone to CJ I would have undertaken a $1,000 plus repair and not have touched the car's real issue. Even if you are mostly happy with your existing mechanic and - let's face it, we are all creatures of habit - you're well served to break out of that habit and try CJ. He's far above and beyond other mechanics in my experience, as well as being a good guy to deal with on a personal level. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I've had my car serviced at C.J.'s for about a year now and will say that he's the best auto mechanic I've met! He's not only knowledgeable and skilled about his trade, he's quite thorough, detailed and honest too. He can explain the maintenance or repair work required and recommend options (no b.s. or up-selling) which will help keep your car up and running well. He is also a very insightful gentleman who loves and enjoys his work, and is always ready to work with you and answer your questions with a smile. Thank you C.J.! read more

Can't say enough about CJ. He's awesome! Honest, professional, informative and hard working. He was so helpful. I highly recommend his services. read more

I was recently visiting the Bay Area. My car completely shut off at a red light. Brought it to CJ and he inspected the car - turns out my battery was dying slowly. I was in the midst of running errands, so CJ was kind enough to loan me his car while he changed my battery (haven't been to many auto shops that do that). Awesome customer service experience. Ended up going back to him a month later for an oil change! read more

CJ Auto Repair is great and I would go back to him. CJ himself is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable in his trade. It was the most pleasent experience. My SUV overheated on Thursday night, I checked yelp on Friday and due to the great reviews I opted to go with CJ. I called him Friday AM and he told me to bring it over. Keep in mind not very many shops would take it on a Friday and during the holiday week. When I got there he looked at it and told me it was the water pump. He had my vehicle ready the next day Sat. at noon. Talk about quick service. Like I said I would recommend CJ Auto Repair he was awesome. read more

I think we found our mechanic for life! I called CJ today on Memorial Day when the shop was technically closed. Yesterday, our car made a terrible grinding sound when driving, and we are about to leave for a long trip. CJ invited me to come in on his day off, and when the sound didn't materialize, we drove around the block together to test for it. Then he checked my oil and tires for the trip, and encouraged me to up the tire pressure, all free of charge. As he said, "It's my job, I am the car doctor." What a kindhearted person. Really looking forward to coming back to CJ's for all of our auto needs! read more

I just moved around the corner from CJ's Auto Repair and could not be happier that he is my new neighbor and mechanic. I met CJ after my car wouldn't start one late Friday afternoon. I walked over to his shop and chatted with him for a minute. He offered to walk over to my house with me to do an initial check of my car. I was immediately impressed by his customer service and kindness. The next morning, he came back to help us PUSH OUR CAR into his shop so that we could avoid dealing with a tow truck. He got our car up and running again in no time. His pricing was fair and just as he explained it would be. And he's just a really cool guy. I'm so glad to know I have a mechanic that I can trust in the neighborhood. read more

After getting a check-engine light on my 1997 Toyota Camry, I called and spoke to a few Auto shops in the area. I called on a Thursday and he told me to bring the car in first thing Saturday. He asked me what time I could bring the car in and I told him that I could be there as early as he wants me to be. He then said that he would be there at 8 even though the shop hour for Saturday starts at 9. We basically agreed to a gentlemen's agreement over the phone that both of us would be there at 8 on Saturday. As I went about my business on Friday, I started to wonder if this guy, who I never dealt with before, would actually remember to show up at 8. There are so many flaky people in the world that I have come to expect people to "forget" or go back on their words. Well, CJ is not one of those people. As I pulled up to his garage at 7:55AM on Saturday, I could see that he has already been there for a while. We greeted each other and I could tell that CJ was a solid dude, whom you can trust. The car ended up needing new spark plugs and coils so he ended up keeping the car until about 3 but when I got the car back, the car was running as smooth as the car ever did. I think I may have found a new, go-to mechanic. read more

This guy CJ is great. I went couple of times there regarding my car problem. For miner issues he just explain what to do n most of time do it for free too. Great customer service is the main attraction of this place. If u needed any car repairing dont hesitate to stop by here. read more

Where do I start! I needed breaks on my VW Tiguan and got a few quotes from various places and then I remembered this small shop in Albany. I went ahead and called them and CJ told me to bring my car in the next morning. I dropped off my car and an hr after getting home he called to tell me my car was ready! The customer service is superb, his attention to detail and expertise is evident! I will be making him my mechanic!! I highly recommend this shop! read more

CJ went above and beyond providing service! I brought a vehicle in for a pre-purchase inspection. Not only was his rate fair and his inspection thorough (with an organized report and notes), he took the time to explain the extent of work and cost of repairs the car would need. He also gave me pointers for negotiating a lower price. Two thumbs up, CJ! read more

CJ did an oil change for me today. He is very kind, honest and helpful. I will defiantly come and see CJ for my future auto care needs. Thanks! read more

What a refreshing experience! A friendly and professional mechanic! CJ was honest, kind, and fair. We will take our vehicles to CJ's Auto Repair from now on! read more

CJ is one of a few auto mechanics that really has the training and knowledge every mechanic should possess. We went to four different mechanics with our Toyota Truck because we had a difficult problem involving the valves. Not only did he save us a lot of money as he suggested first a specific to the issue cleaning of the engine, whereas others wanted to replace the fuel injectors or replace the whole engine. CJ is friendly, takes pride in explaining his solutions and he listens. He also did a few odds and ends without charging extra. We are really glad we found him. read more

CJ deserves more than 5 stars !! My car had a rough idle and felt like it was going to cut off on me. I took my car here to be fixed. He found out exactly what was wrong and completely took care of my car !!!! He did a great job and didn't overcharge me. When he was done my car ran and sounded like a whole new car!!! I would definitely recommend CJ !!!! read more

My brakes were really grinding, and barely stopping at all. I knew they needed to be changed. So on Saturday, about 30 min after opening, without any calls ahead, I took a chance and went to CJ's based on the reviews. He was really nice and attentive when I related my issues. When I asked if he had opening to work on my car that day, he briefly mentioned he usually worked Sats by appointment, but that was never mentioned again and he never treated that as an issue! He immediately asked more questions and had me describe more of the issues and symptoms. CJ was very patient and willing to answer all my questions, which I really appreciated! He was chatting with me, telling me stories like as if we were long time friends. He took the time to show me what was wrong with my brakes after the initial inspection, and was specific about what he would need to do to fix them. Long story short, he had my brakes fixed before he closed, and even had time to change my transmission fluid. His prices were more than fair, and he even provided some extra services that he didn't charge me for. Which he absolutely didn't have to do, and I really appreciated, and he acted like it was not a big deal. If you are in the Albany area, you should bring your car to CJ. I definitely will. You will not find a friendlier guy and good mechanic. read more

CJ's auto is great. My car is always in and out in just a few hours. He is interested in explaining the problem, and that is comforting. I trust him with my car and he provides a very friendly atmosphere! read more
