The chief mechanic Gary Demma has been taking care of my automotive maintenance SINCE 1992. HE IS…read moreHONEST AND EXPERIENCED and does a very good job for a very reasonable price. This company has one of the best reputations for fixing problems that may seem difficult, however, if you are in need of keeping your cars performance up to date, I recommend this company HIGHLY.

Definitely a place to keep as long as you can.

Pat contacted me within 10 minutes and i made an appointment for Monday 8am. I had my car towed there. They had my car done by 3pm. I was shocked.

DISHONEST SHOP!! I…read morehave brought my car to Josh (owner) back when he was working out of a backyard garage on Merrick. It was a honest shop back then. Now that he has expanded h his business to Franklin Square...seems like customer service has gone down the toilet. He is not on site anymore and won't speak to customers even if there is a disagreement. There is a young guy behind the desk that seems to be running things now. I had an unfortunate encounter with him where he lied about calling me to approve services to my vehicle that I did not approve. I just wanted my brakes and rotors changed and that was confirmed when I dropped off the vehicle...only to be forced to pay for an extra tire rotation ($50 -while tires were already taken off already for brake job!) and coolant top off ($20) that was not pre approved (I had the tires already rotated that same morning at the dealership with an oil change!!). I understand that miscommunications can happen, but don't lie and tell me you called me to approve the extra services!! I have no tolerance for dishonesty!! PLEASE AVOID THIS SHOP AT ALL COSTS!!!
