I have been involved with car repairs since I was a kid. I have seen dishonest mechanics charge…read moreowners for hvac fans when it was a blown fuse/bad plug, terrible R&Rs destroy a car, exaggeration of a job's difficulty, serious overcharging 8 hours of work for a 1.5 hour job and slam bang mechanics destroy stuff and incompetent work. For the most part auto mechanics are not trustworthy. Then comes their attitudes, egos and chip on their shoulders were they think the customer is an idiot. I have rebuilt engines, transmissions, worked as a mechanic at SunShipbuilding and Drydock where we built the Howard Hughes Glomar Explorer and LNG tankers. I am a moderator of a Cadillac forum and help owners around the world diagnose problems on their Cadillacs. Finding competency and honesty in the auto repair segment is very difficult. However, Augie is the FIRST mechanic I have met that listens to the customer, is honest and he knows his stuff. He is a rare find and you won't make a mistake trusting him with your car. He has no ego, he is approachable and is committed to making sure you are happy with the result. Sometimes it takes more than one attempt to remedy a problem, that is not the mechanics fault all the time. Give Augie the chance to help you out, you won't be sorry.

I would like to extend a thank you to Fred and his whole staff.

He charges a flat-fee for everything, and prices are advertised on a flat screen monitor. Prices are affordable, and the technicians do quality work. I take my vehicle here for routine maintenance that does not require OEM parts, such as tire rotations, wheel alignments, fuel system cleaning and annual NYS inspections. Fred says that he uses vehicle-specific parts, which are delivered from nearby warehouses. The shop gives you the old parts back, such as burnt out headlights and worn windshield wipers. I only go to the dealership for brakes, batteries, warranty work and recalls. Most jobs at Lakeview Car Care are done in less than two hours. While you wait, there is no transportation to take you to and from home or work, so you have to call an Uber or Lyft. The waiting room is relatively clean and has comfortable chairs. It also has a coffee/tea bar with a Nespresso machine and its pods; and some tea bags, Carnation dry milk, and sweeteners. Service is personalized because Fred has regular customers, whom he instantly recognizes and engages in chit chat with. I highly recommend his auto repair shop but only for minor services that do not necessitate a warranty.

Not being familiar with any local transmission shops in Suffolk county, I called a few local shops…read moreand got a big range of prices on a full rebuild for my 2005 F150 pick up. I called Centereach Transmission. The manager was very helpful and informative, he gave me a quote over the phone and when I brought truck in for trans inspection, the quote remained the same. In fact there were a few unrelated brackets next to the trans that needed replacement and they replaced them and only charged for parts and no extra labor cost, Their price was very fair, timing of repair was exactly what they told me, they are friendly and very knowledgeable. If you are in need of transmission Repair, I would suggest giving Centereach Transmission A call, they did the right thing for me and I would definitely use them again if I had trans issues in the future with my other vehicles. Thank you Marc& John Mickey K

I have had many bad experiences with mechanics in the past. Either they will do the repairs I…read morerequested, then something else would magically "break", or they only do enough to "make the car safe", not necessarily fixing the issue. With Hondaman, every visit has been incredible. If you need something fixed, they'll make it almost new. They're very honest with their work and will confirm with you before doing anything additional, whereas other places I've been to will do what they think is "important", then charged me for it after the fact. Hondaman will advise you of anything that needs to be done after they finish what you went to them for. Plus, their prices are reasonable and affordable. I've never felt like I had to break the bank during my visits. In short, they are my wife's and my go-to mechanic and I absolutely recommend them.

Don't trust these mechanics with ur car they're just leeching from you since they're all brain-dead and incompetent regardless of their "22 years of experience"

A truly honest auto repair shop that did a great job on my Jeep…read more I discovered this place by accident. I brought my Jeep to Mavis for an oil change & NYS inspection. They told me my car passed but there is a loose transmission hose that is leaking fluid. Mavis doesn't work on transmissions but there is a Lee Myles down the road, great bunch of guys I'm told. I bring my Jeep in and speak with Mario. I told him there is a cracked transmission hose. I tell him I need this Jeep to be rock solid for the winter so please order the hose. The next day I received a call from Richie. He tells me the hose is in but he recommends a tranny filter service. They also noticed the lift kit I had installed has too much lift and there are driveshaft spacers needed that will correct the problem, they'll take care of it as well. The next day I get a call, they found something else that needs attention. I live close so I swung by the shop. I now have a comfort level with Richie, he shows me the valve cover gasket is starting to leak and since this Jeep is mission critical it should be replaced while the car is in the shop. Then he show me the tailpipe is also on the cusp. I tell Richie make this car rock solid, take your time and get this Jeep running like a top. I paid the bill, jumped in the Jeep and drove off. To all the mechanics that worked on my Jeep, it is running and driving amazing. Thank you
