They're taking advantage of people, especially women. Shame on them shame on them shame on them. Do not go here. There are better places. These people are crooks.

I've been in search of a reputable auto repair shop specializing on European vehicles since August…read more After a little research, I fortunately stumbled upon L & J Motors. The establishment itself is clean, organized, and up-to-date with the latest equipment. There is little to no parking outside of their garage, but you could use QuickChek's lot if needed. As for the staff, they're accommodating, professional, and certainly knowledgeable of the vehicles they work on. My BMW needed to be towed to their garage as my battery went bad (maybe a dead cell again), so I thought I would have to setup an appointment first--not the case. The first person I spoke to said L & J would accommodate me and I could drop my car off whenever I find someone to tow it. From there, I just filled out some paperwork and the rest was left to them. I was thinking they wouldn't work on my car until Friday, but it was actually finished soon after I dropped it off. Sam, one of the employees, called me early Friday morning and told me my car was ready for pickup but also recommended I get my front brake pads replaced. After I requested an AC recharge to round it out, all three services were completed by 2pm; I dropped my car off before lunch on Thursday and picked it up past lunch time the next day. I'm impressed. If I took my car to the nearest dealer (in Bloomfield), I probably wouldn't get it back until next Wednesday. In addition, I would have paid a lot more than I did at L & J. The older gentleman who was working on my car with other mechanics was very helpful and thoroughly explained what was done. He even advised me to come back in a couple of weeks for a free follow-up appointment to determine whether there's a leak in my cooling system. L & J Motors is the only auto repair shop in Jersey that has worked on my Bimmer since bringing it over from California. I'm very picky in regards to who works on my cars, but I find this place--like another reviewer--to be reliable and honest in their services. After my experience here, I would certainly recommend this auto repair shop to other European vehicle owners.
