This is my second review on Junior's - and yes I know it is the right one. Now I know it is the son who learned from the father. After multiple attempts to get my car registered - juniors flagged it (read my other review) I finally found another shop who did the repair for 400 - not 800 as Junior quoted - then told me to drive around to make sure the light wouldn't come one. Just to check out the integrity on my old friend, I went to him first. THE LIGHT HADNT COME BACK ON - and he told me I can't pass you because there's a knocking noise. I said bye and went to the other place 3 minutes away, passed my inspection and got my sticker. Junior made me pay 100 dollars to get me car released, after having done no work. He quoted me close to 900 when another shop did it for 400. He had me flagged in the system so I couldn't get my car fixed by anyone but him. I found a shop, who knew what he was up to and was able to do it. But in the meantime I got two tickets. Sooo, Junior cost me 100 straight cash for nothing and 120 in tickets. Let alone headache after headache. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP. read more

We love Junior's. Bringing our car here is like going to a doctor who actually cares about you. And who is at the top of their profession. Junior and his guys not only know what they're doing; they're friendly and conscientious and completely professional. read more

The best, most honest mechanic you'll ever find. They truly care about their customers. I won't go anywhere else now! I brought my car in because thought I needed brake pads - and they said I could wait. In my eyes they gave up an easy buck to be honest. They also discovered some shoddy work another garage did, which ruined my master cylinder. Have had great experiences since then and I always recommend to friends looking for a great mechanic. read more

Junior was the best!!!!! He was as honest as can be got my car done quick and efficient. The price for a car repair was worth being that car was not driven for almost 2 years. When he fixed I was super happy and elated so continue shining!!! read more

Stay away from this place. Had a check engine light come on, went to have it checked, was told it would take more than 12 hours to fix and $4200. I said no. He charged me $150 for the code scan, there was no actual investigation of the problem beyond the scan. He's a criminal. No one charges for code scans. Fixed my problem at another shop for under $200. Edit: I am 100% certain this is the shop. read more

I love these guys. We started out as a one-car family, a pretty old beater, which they took really good care of for us. When we made the jump to a second car for a new job with a long commute we, of course, trusted it to the folks at Juniors Auto Repair. The second car was pretty new and unfortunately got damaged when we had to drive in a tight situation and mis-judged the available space. These guys did a fabulous job fixing up the new car and making the body look as good as new. They do good work. They check all the boxes for what I want for auto care: setting reasonable expectations, giving an estimate before starting work, giving us a call when the work is done, and have been very accommodating when I went to pick up the car and was running late. (By the way, if you are looking for Juniors -- the restaurant with the "World's Best Cheesecake" --keep looking. These guys do cars, not cakes!!) read more

We have been using Junior's for regular mechanical work for our Subaru for several years and have always found them responsive, nice, efficient and very competent mechanics. Recently I started commuting by car and bought a little Fiat Abarth 2017 because it is the only car that will fit up my narrow driveway. Unfortunately, just a few weeks after I bought it, I scraped it quite badly trying to navigate past a car that was partially blocking the driveway. I called Junior's to see if they could recommend a body shop and it turns out they have a body shop around the corner. Sean asked me if I might want to drive it around for a while and get used to it before spending the money on repairing it, which was very sweet, but I use it for work so I can't really drive it around looking banged up. A few days later I picked it up and it was like new. read more

Junior's Auto Repair - Repaired rear panel and bumper - Auto Repair Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

I've taken my old car for an inspection, and my new car twice to replace radiator and get new brakes. The service has always been relatively quick, the employees are always nice, and I've always had a reasonably priced bill at the end. Definitely reccomend! read more

Like many people, I often dread going to the mechanic because of long wait times, a lack of transparency, and them always trying to upsell you. However, the folks at Junior's are kind, honest, and speedy. I had to get a tire changed out, and it was such a friendly experience. They got back to me when they said they would, presented me with all the options, and got the job done expediently. Will definitely be going back! read more

Excellent customer service.. The Manager Sean made sure I understood exactly what was wrong with my vehicle, and even though the shop was quite busy, He made it possible for me to pick up my car at the end of the business day. read more

This place is great!! I was driving in from Boise when my engine started shaking and the "check engine" light came on. The next day, I looked up auto repair shops, and Junior's was the only one I saw that was open on a Saturday. I called, expecting to be told I'd have to wait a long time, but he told to me to bring my car in so he could check it out. He quickly found the root cause of the problem - a melted spark plug wire causing one cylinder to misfire - and fixed it up within an hour. The price was agreeable, and he was extremely kind. Would recommend!! read more

Great service. Was recommended by a friend. This is my first time owning a car in NYC and didn't realize we had to have it inspected yearly! Oops! Dropped car off for inspection and it was completed in less than an hour. They even looked at our tire pressure at no extra cost and without asking! This will be our shop from now on. read more

My car was in need of an inspection and some work but I was at a lost of where to take it since I was tired of my previous mechanic who left me out of a lot of money and underwhelm with their service. And you heard it right...my previous mechanic because the men at Junior' auto repair will FOREVER get my business going forward. I called at about 8:30 am to see if they could help and DREW said come right in. After working, I made my way down around 10:30 and met SEAN who was an absolute gem from beginning to end. He kept me up to date with all things that my car needed and he even bought to my attention an issue I forgot to mention. My car was in and out within a few hours and after putting it on the road I feel more secure for my up coming travel. Please give these guys a try...you won't be disappointed. read more

This business was highly recommended by several people in my building. This is the best auto shop I've ever been to. They are honest and professional. I went in to get my alignment checked and they told me I didn't need it re-aligned. I also went in last month to do the yearly inspection. Multiple times at other places I have been told I failed inspection and had to pay someone to run my car to get enough miles on the odometer to pass. At Juniors they checked the odometer first, said it passed, then performed the inspection for the standard $35. read more

Last minute as per my usual annual car inspection frenzy goes. Found this place on yelp, good reviews. My mechanic was closed (they're Jewish observing their holidays). Sigh. Spoke with the owner about the needed inspection and he did advise me of an hour wait so stay rather than go. I did. Very professional and appreciated the service. Will I learn for next next, more than likely not. Will I be back, more than likely yes. read more

I took my car here for a simple inspection tag clearance. Got there on one of the hottest days of the summer of 2020. It took over an hour for someone to come look at my car, and all I came for was for my inspection tags to be updated. When the guy who came to look at my car saw it he started a ridiculous rant, he goes "your side view mirror is smashed and that's a problem", it was just cracked and is fine, then he goes "your flood lights are broken and need fixing or you're in trouble" flood lights are an extra lighting in a car that's not a necessity, not all cars have flood lights but I did and they never worked since I had bought the car pre-owned, then he kicked my tires and goes "these tires are gonna be a problem" the tires he's referring to had only been on the car 3 years and are high quality Hankook tires that I purchased brand new from auto zone, he also had the nerve to say "I didn't even start your car yet and I can tell your brakes and engine are going to be a problem" by this time I was internally furious and was just waiting for him to complete his once over before leaving that place. He then looks at my bumper and says "your bumper is cracked and needs replacing or your definitely failing inspection". He made some comments on my windshield wipers that he didn't even start, talked about my step rail being a problem as I drive an SUV, then he goes and I swear to every god, he says "you're looking at well over $4000. In repairs before this car can even be considered for inspection... I said thank you then called my cousin up who had some mechanic friends. He referred me to a buddy of his who then took me to a mechanic shop that does inspection. They plugged my car up, checked the engine, the brakes, and the exhaust, walked around it a few times, checked the electrical stuff, then gave me my sticker, I paid the $40. Fee and I was out of there headed back home.. my car has ran just fine without a problem right up to my last inspection a few weeks ago which I also passed... if I could give Junior's auto scammers less than 1 star I would.. lesson learned. read more

The muffler on my friend's car started acting up, which means you can hear the car engine for about a three block radius. Since the car was under my care, I offered to take it in, and the nearest place that popped up for a VW with good reviews was Junior's. The good: - Problem solved! The muffler stopped being so noisy and the engine ran more smoothly. - Excellent service including topping off the transmission fluid and turning off all the various check engine lights (which all came back on in a couple of days), clear explanation of the work at hand, and the guys were super friendly. +1 Star The not so good: Insane overcharging! A spark plug replacement, was $200+, and when my friend found out, he asked me to confirm that nothing else was done. So I asked and a very thorough explanation was given about the spark plug being cracked. It turns out that a spark plug job typically runs $60-80 max, and it's something a novice can do with parts running at most $20. The muffler work was apparently also overpriced as the total was $600+. I guess I got the girl rate? Perhaps this place is best reserved for more savvy car service shoppers. read more

Junior was helpful but above all, honest. He told me exactly what needed to be done on it and did not try and replace parts that did not require replacement. His friendliness and willingness to help me has definitely earned my trust and loyalty. My S500 will be maintained by them exclusively from now onwards. Thanks Junior! read more

Great professional service. Friendly owners. They pay attention to details and their prices are more than fair. I went to have my muffler fixed and ended up changing my rusting bull bar I've been wanting to change for a year, and they went the extra step of removing rust marks left on the bumper. They give you all the details you need to make informed decisions. I will be going here from now on. read more

Great service and very clear about pricing. I took my wife's beetle in today for service and I got everything I needed plus the information of what I'll need to take care of in the near future. Sean took care of us and helped by explaining what was going on with the car and letting us know up front how much it will cost. I highly recommend Juniors, this is our go-to place now. read more

It's always hard to find a great shop, one that is fast, smart, and has reasonable rates. What a lucky find! Go Team Junior! I own a couple of aging vehicles, and Sean and the guys really took care, explained clearly what was needed, gave me a reasonable estimate, and next day, I drove away. This is one of two shops I would trust this side of Brooklyn, and is my #1 go to fix-it. Highly Recommend! read more

I stumbled upon this place 20 minutes after purchasing a used car from a shady dealer. The engine light and TCS warning light had just come on. Since Junior's isn't located anywhere near my neighborhood, I told the mechanic that I just wanted to check if the car was safe to drive home, considering the warning light. The mechanic checked the error code and explained exactly what was wrong. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that he knew exactly what he was talking about and explained it very well. I got the impression that he was very honest, and he didn't charge me anything for the service. read more

I found Junior's on Yelp and went there when my F150 needed service because of a mysterious issue. Junior was super friendly and took my truck right away. The crew investigated the problem and had solved it within a couple hours and I got right back on the road. This is a friendly, family-run shop and I would gladly bring my truck here again. They really connect with their customers and take the extra time to explain things and help you understand your vehicle. read more

Paid about $2,000 for a few things on my car to be fixed. Unfortunately, things were not fixed and basically put my life and others at a risk for having my car on the road. read more

I've had an excellent experience with Junior's all around. I needed a whole new wiper system on my Pontiac Montana, and when the first replacement part I tried turned out to be problematic, they installed the higher-grade replacement I should have gone with in the first place and didn't charge for labor. Straight-up, down to earth, and good vibes. Would recommend. read more

Professional and highly experienced. I recently purchased a relatively new Volkswagen diesel car, and I knew that due to their rarity, I will have to make some sacrifices in terms of keeping the car in good condition. After about two weeks of owning the car I noticed that it was a bit sluggish so naturally I was a little upset, especially after a short period of ownership. I didn't want to go to a VW dealer due to higher costs so I found Sean and Junior; finding a diesel mechanic in Brooklyn is difficult enough so finding them was a true treasure. I stopped by the shop, had a small test drive with Sean and he immediately understood that the car's turbo was in fine shape (my concern) and he had some ideas of what the problem could be. I left my car in the shop and Sean said that he'll scan the car to see what's wrong. On my way back home I remembered that the car was covered under the VW emissions warranty and shortly after Sean called me and said that he quickly figured out the problem after scanning the car. I told Sean that the car was under warranty, and he replied that I could pick up the car the next day and he wouldn't charge me anything for quickly figuring out the problem. This auto shop is full of seasons professionals who specialize not only in gas but diesel engines; for anybody owning older diesel cars in NYC, I can't emphasize how knowledgeable these guys are in regards to newer and older diesel engines. A true pleasure just to engage with the guys at the shop. Thank you Sean and Junior. read more

Best honest mechanic period! "Very good, does a great job... would recommend"

When i first conducted business with this auto shop, it was a great experience. But my overall experience changed when i got into an minor accident in January, the person that hit my car and i went to the auto shop and i asked to have them assess if there are any damages to my car bumper. Junior coworker failed to tell us that there was damages to the bumper and what they decided to do is add screw our brand new bumber for it to be able align. Five months later, i decided to have my head lights replaced, after the front bumper was removed i notice that they added screws to my bumper without my consent or tell me so the person that hit my car would replace my bumper. I will never go back to this shop... In response to Sean: Sean when I came in to see you about the bumper, I asked you was there any damages to the bumper? You said "no." When my husband came to the Saturday to see the car and he asked if the absorber was also installed? You said "yes" which it wasn't. So you lied to us about the condition of the bumper and you wasn't there to determine if it was a tap to my car... the holes on the bumper are torn. Also, Sean was not the one that installed the bumper, it was another mechanic and he added screws for the bumper to be secured..How can it be fraud and it brand new bumper that was on the car (obviously that's why the bumper is black because it was going to be painted.) Junior's auto repair needs to take responsibility of their mistakes.... read more

My VW Jetta is 12 years old - still running just fine, but she requires more a little more attention than she used to. Over the last two years, Junior has become my go-to for all repairs big and small. He is honest and fair, and his team gets the job done in the time they tell you to. You can tell they really enjoy and take pride in their work and they treat their customers very well. read more

Junior's is far and away the top auto repair shop I have ever visited. After two disappointing diagnostic visits in Staten Island to repair my 2007 VW Rabbit, I turned to Junior, Sean (his son) and his crew for help. They delivered in a big way. Across the board - service, honesty, price, communication, customer service, quality - you will find first-class service at this shop. The moment I arrived, Junior hopped into the car to diagnose the issues I was having on the road. The wealth of knowledge between him and his crew is unbelievable - he identified each issue just by listening to the sounds the car made on the road. In terms of transparency, Junior will invite you INTO the garage and under the lift to show you EXACTLY what he did, how he did it and why he did it. I brought my car in for repairs 3 days before Christmas. My front end axles were shot, and two of my four rims were bent beyond repair. Despite the holidays and limited access to parts, Junior exhausted his resources and connections to locate everything needed for the repairs. I think the main thing that sets this shop apart from the rest is, they love what they do. It doesn't seem like just a job to them, but rather a passion. Keep it up Junior, Sean and the crew. read more

I have taken my car to Junior's on numerous occasions and I have always been pleased with the service. They are very honest and I feel comfortable as a woman taking my car and knowing I will recieve a fair deal. I have even recommended my father who lives out of state who needed work done to his car while in New York to bring it to "The Shop" and he is very particular with his car and was also pleased with the service. read more

A gem find based off of a Google Search and Yelp. This shop has been nothing but fantastic to me. Junior's will give you a one year warranty on their work. They got my hoopty running again (even after a return visit no charge). 100 % honest, speedy, and good advice, and I greatly appreciated it. read more

This is one of the best auto repair shops in Brooklyn. I needed a new battery. I went in and they replaced it in 15 minutes at a good price. They checked my fluids and cleaned off my engine without my even asking. And then they backed my car out of the garage and onto the street. The mechanics were friendly and knowledgeable and willing to explain what they were doing. As a car owner for over 20 years, I've never had a better experience with a mechanic in Brooklyn. I will definitely come back. read more

Sean took very good care of me. I own a VW TDI and any other TDI owner will understand my hesitancy in taking my car to a new mechanic, especially a shop that doesn't advertise themselves as TDI specialists. After troubleshooting a coolant leak on my own with little success, I brought the car into Junior's on a Saturday. Sean was able to run a pressure test and find the leak(s) before the day ended. Sean was very TDI knowledgable and even pointed out a few common problems (verified by another shop and tdiforums.com) with my model. He was also able to get VW specific parts right away and get me back on the word quickly. Throughout the entire process Sean was timely and communicative; he even noticed that my NY state inspection had just expired and offered to renew the inspection. Great guy, will be back. read more

I can relate to you SY. Today was the worst experience I had at this shop it was all about making money and they made their money. Thank God for his grace and mercy they didn't have a piece for my car that made me run. But it all started as soon as my car entered the garage they fail my inspection than told me what needed to be done and even after fixing what they needed to do they were still telling me of a possibility of it still failing. Can you believe one lightbulb brake light $20 overpriced. The life of a BMW owner. Repair shops like these love when desperate innocent women come around to make their money, read more

A good repair shop is hard to find. Junior's is honest, timely and didn't make me feel pressured or uncomfortable as many shops do when a woman walks in the door. I got my inspection renewed and an oil change. I'd come back for any repairs needed. read more

My car broke down right near Junior's and they were super helpful. They knew right away that the alternator was acting up and Sean the manager walked me through all my options. Turns out I was covered under warranty and had to take it to the dealer, but everyone who worked there was great company while I waited to get my car towed by AAA for 2 hours. read more

I dread taking my car to a mechanic because I always walk away feeling like the mechanic over diagnoses me, overcharges me or treats me like an idiot. Junior's was the opposite. Very friendly and interested in my car. They took the time to explain each issue with my car and the priority for it. They fixed my car same day and both of us (my car and myself) are happy. If you're looking for a VW repair place, go to Juniors and skip MINHS. read more

I would give them 10 stars but I'm only allowed 5. These guys are amazing at what they do. Before shipping my car (Volkswagen) up to NY I got it "fixed" by a local auto repair I spent over $1k to fix everything. however 3 weeks later I had the same exact problem (coolant leaking causing the car to over heat). After research via Yelp I gave this business a shot. Shawn updated me everyday and even kept my car an extra day to get to the root of the problem and retest it countless times without charging me for extra labor. My front bumper was loose and they even fixed that without me asking or charging me. They treated me like family. It's safe to say I've found my go to mechanic in Brooklyn. I highly recommend that you trust them with your business read more

After reading recent reviews of Junior's Auto Repair, I thought I'd chime in just a little. After all, Yelp is here to help everyday people help each other not to make the wrong choices. I won't get into details, but what's making me put this review up now is that after reading some recent reviews, these guys have not gotten any better than all the wrong things they were doing a few years ago when I was basically tricked into thinking these guys were good mechanics. At first, they seemed very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. It was only after taking my car there a few times for repairs that everything started to go wrong. Charging full price for repairs that, only to find out too late, was mended with zip ties, and certain parts not even replaced with new ones like they said it would be. There was a point when I wanted to go back to complain to them and demand my money back. But I didn't do this because I thought I had wasted enough time and money with these guys and didn't want to waste any more. There are plenty of auto repair shops in Brooklyn who are way more honest and better at what they do than Junior's. Don't make the mistake I made and don't waste your money and time with these guys. All the good reviews on here about them, only time will tell, and double, triple check everything they said they did. Go get it the work done looked at by another mechanic. That was one of the first ways I found out that the work being done to my car was bogus. read more
