I have been to Larkin many times. Make this your second estimate and watch the price drop for better quality work. The place puts a premium on fair prices for excellent work. Probably now my first and final estimate ;) read more

Quick turn around, flexible and easy to work with, and friendly staff. I will be using them in the future for my auto repair and maintenance needs. read more

After a stressful 2months of Toyota, DMV, and Allstate messing up my NJ registration, I FINALLY got my plates today. I found Larkin's listed as a certified NJ Motor Vehicle Inspection site and they had excellent reviews on Google and Yelp. I called a 9:50AM and they squeezed me in immediately on a Saturday! The service I received was efficient, courteous, and excellent. The staff was friendly enough and knew what they were doing. All the employees there were always hard at work, hustling about and fixing/inspecting cars. I overheard another customer's issue and they treated him well and were upfront with work and costs when explaining. I was in and out within 10-15 minutes for my Corolla's inspection. $50 even. I will definitely come back here if Toyota warranties expire or if I have an emergency repair issue!! read more

Could not be happier. I live in Philadelphia, PA and was in Ewing to look at a used Toyota Camry Hybrid I was considering buying. I had heard great things about Larkins online and dropped by there without an appointment on a Friday afternoon to see if they could look over the car for me. The owner squeezed me in and took about 30 minutes to look over the vehicle and tell me a bit about it as it was my first hybrid. He did not charge me as he did not have time to put it up on the rack, but the time he took to discuss the vehicle and look over the major areas was invaluable. I purchased the car and wish I lived in NJ so he could service the vehicle in the future! Thanks so much for your time! read more

A friend recommended them to me as being reasonable and honest. They are both. I took my car to them after suspicion that my dealer's mechanic shop was overstating the need for some work. These guys confirmed it. They also did my rear brakes (rotors and pads) and an inner tie rod replacement for $300 total - probably half of what the dealer would have charged. Big thumbs up! EDIT: I took my other car here recently. The dealer had recommended that the power steering return hose be replaced. Their price, $232. Larkin's price, $40! Yup, 40 bucks. Love these guys. read more

This is the kind of place that looks run down, with and old sign, that you might pass by and not think twice. However, if you're looking for a good mechanic, I highly recommend you give Larkin a second look. We aren't from the area, but were buying a used car down the road and I had read good things about Larkin. I wanted to get an inspection done on the used car after negotiating a final price but before signing anything. I called in advance, talked to Steve, and made a (loose) appointment. Steve was skeptical of the car (which I prefer someone inspecting a used car to be!) and did a very thorough check. He clearly knew his stuff. He was incredibly nice and helpful, and charged what I considered to be a low, more-than-fair price for the inspection. We felt much more comfortable after the inspection making our used car purchase. I wish we lived in the area because I would absolutely be taking our cars back to Steve if we could. I haven't come across a mechanic that was so clearly knowledgeable, appeared to be honest, and charged such fair prices in many years. Recommend! read more

My wife says get rid of the old 1993 Toyota Corolla isn't worth fixing. The Corolla survives because of places like Larkins auto repair. The brake lines rusted through and lost the rear brakes. Took it to Larkins and Steve no only replaced all metal brake lines but also all the fuel lines, then asked me if $80 was too much to charge for the repair. What, are you kidding? A steal. Also had the power steering pump changed. I couldn't buy one for less than $120 he did the entire job for $140. The body may rust out before the mechanical parts ware out. read more

What a wonderful service center! My daughter is a student at TCNJ and had some trouble with her car last night. As we live an hour and a half away we did not know of any service stations in the Ewing area. I took a shot at looking on the yelp site for guidance. First thing this morning I called Larkin Service Center and explained the situation and they told me to send her right in. My husband had an idea of what was wrong with the car and sure enough Stevie the owner confirmed it! While sitting in a cozy lobby complete with fireplace our daughter did some of her class reading while her car was being repaired. Within an hour she was on the road safe and sound! Thanks so much to Stevie and his father for making this such a great experience at a very reasonable price! read more

I had them change front brake pad/rotor/sensor, and batteries for my Mercedes. Honest, transparent, efficient job. The prices were good too. Could not ask for more. read more

I actually found this shop on Yelp. My 05 accord had a spark plug shoot out of the top of my engine due to stripped threads in the cylinder. Dropped the car and keys off with a note for a heli coil repair on Tuesday night, called Wednesday morning... Received a call that the car was ready to go 2 hours later. The staff was personable and the price was very fair. The quick service was an unbelievable bonus. I'll definitely consider them in the future. read more

Got a flat tire, and this was the nearest auto mechanic. Service was fast, professional, and reasonably priced. These folks really helped save the day, and I highly recommend them. read more

Our car, Mercedes Benz, failed inspection in June 2016 because the inspection station's computer could not communicate with our car's computer. This is apparently an uncommon problem faced by other car owners as we found out on the internet. We went to the dealer who referred us to Larkin Service Center in Ewing, NJ. The manager at Larkin said he would try to do the inspection but if his computer is not able to communicate with our car's computer, then we'd have to bring our car back to the dealer. He put our car through inspection right away, and our car passed the inspection. Nothing wrong with our car's computer. The service at Larkin is friendly and in our case super fast. The manager in charge was very helpful in every respect and took the time to explain to us how the car inspection works and how the inspection station's computer communicates with a car's computer so we could understand the process. Highly recommend Larkin if your car needs service. read more

My family has been going to Steve for years. He is a great guy that really looks out for you, and he helps you make decisions about your vehicle that work for you. He's a skilled mechanic and an honest man. I owe him a lot for the work he's done for me. read more

Steve Larkin has been taking care of my entire family's cars over the past 14 years and always did a great job of figuring out what needed repaired and fixed it. We followed his advice on doing regular maintenance on our vehicles and it kept our cars going strong for many years (well over 200,000 miles on an Infiniti i30). We can't recommend a better mechanic in this area - Steve is just the best out there. His father Len has a lot to be proud of in Steve and the long term employees that work there. His quotes are accurate on work and they call you when your car is ready for pick up. Give them a try and you won't regret it! read more

I've been going to Larkin since I bought my car 3 years ago, for oil changes and repairs. Steve is knowledgable and fair. I highly recommend. read more

Had an alternator replaced at this shop. Prices were fair, work was fast, and service was excellent. I would go here again!
