I called J & J Automotive for a quote on a complete brake job, and they kindly squeezed me in. I…read moredropped off my car, went for a quick bite, and returned to the shop to continue waiting. When I got back, they had just determined that I didn't need brakes after all. Instead, they fixed the sound of metal on metal that usually signals worn brakes--but my pads still had plenty of life left. This wasn't the first time Joe put honesty before profit. On a previous visit, he sent me to the dealer because my issue was likely under warranty--turning down business to save me money. Both times, he charged me next to nothing, and honestly, I felt guilty. I first met Joe because he did amazing work for my son, and now I won't go anywhere else. Twice now, he's had the opportunity to do unnecessary work, and twice he's proven his integrity. I even told him most places would have just taken my money. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and honest mechanic, J & J Automotive is the place. Joe is a blessing!

I do not like their SHADY BUSINESS PRACTICES. I called and…read moreasked for a quote on a synthetic oil change for a 2019 jeep Cherokee and they quoted 74.95 for 5qts I thought okay 74.95 plus tax isn't too bad. Ill do it. Made an appointment for a couple days out. Took about an hour for them to do it. When I went to pay it turns out they're charging an extra $9.50 because my car needed 6 qts instead of 5. I specifically asked for a quote on MY make and model car and they quoted 5 qts... Wait it gets better... They also charged me an extra $14.95 for an oil filter!! $3 for oil disposal and $1.99 for shop supplies. Never in my 20 yrs of driving and getting oil changes have I ever had to pay extra for a filter, shop supplies or to dispose of oil! THEY ONLY REVEALED ADDITIONAL CHARGES AFTER THE JOB WAS DONE WHICH WAS DONE ON PURPOSE TO DECEIVE ME CONSIDERING THE OIL AND FILTER COSTS $38 BUCKS. So the original $74.95 turned into over $100 QUOTE YOUR CUSTOMERS ACCURATELY BEFORE YOU TOUCH THEIR CARS. Would have gotten 5 stars if I paid what was quoted. It's not about the money, it's about integrity and transparency.

I live all the way in Brooklyn NY and asked a local business owner if they could refer me somewhere I could trust to get me back on the road. They referred me to Direct Drive Diagnostics and when I got there, Thomas literally stopped what he was working on to assist me. This is arguably one of the best mechanic experiences I've ever had. Lisa the office Manager was a sweetheart and Thomas and his partner were able to assess what was wrong, and get my car up in running in roughly under 40 minutes. They were honest, hospitable, all had a great sense of humor and I felt welcomed and comforted that everything was going to be resolved. I highly recommend this place and even living in Brooklyn will bring my car back there moving forward because of how great and reliable they are. Just want to say thank you so much to the entire crew there for getting me home safe and with a feeling of integrity in their work and trust. Kudos to this place, I love them! Eva M. Iadarola

He joked that he'd have it done in one hour on a Saturday -- which they close at 1:00, something he did not tell me. I left and called two hours later to check on my car. He said he wouldn't have time to work on it today and asked if I could walk there because "it should be time enough since they close in 20 minutes." I rushed over. He said I owed $80 and that it would go toward my final bill for the "diagnosis." I paid, and we made an agreement that I'd drop my car off the next week. He promised it would only take a short time. I let him know I needed the car for work and that I'd be using a family member's car in the meantime. He once again joked about how easy of a fix it would be and told me not to worry -- it would be done before the week was out (this was Thursday). I dropped the car off. Saturday came, and the car still had not been fixed. I let them know I had to come get it. When I arrived, I asked if I owe anything? They responded, "Nothing, today." They asked me to bring the car back the following week because they were waiting on a part. I never brought the car back because I was displeased with the constant joking about how fast it would be, yet no work was done besides the "diagnostic" -- which I had already supplied to them upon arrival, and paid for. I am still driving around with a check engine light on, and they continue to bill me OVER $300. FOR WHAT?? When I call, they constantly say "they're busy right now and can't talk." My family has used them for many years, and I was told to go here. They have witnessed what Jake and his team of scammers have tried to pull on me. He will not be receiving any of our business again, and I hope people take this as a warning. If you want to get scammed and still have a broken car, this is your place.
