Came in on NYE & still GREAT customer service. I came in not having any clue what was wrong apart from hearing a noise. They searched & then fully explained the problem to me and even showed me it. They didn't try to negotiate anything more and completed the job in 2 hours for an unbeatable price. I would definitely come back here again read more

I went here today for car inspection and tire rotation. Price was fair and everything went quick & smooth. Thank you Monkey Wrench!

So I've been here one time to bring my car in for an emergency job. He was recommended by a friend. the owner was really helpful I went and had lunch and waited for the car to be repaired it took about 2 1/2 hours. a few days later I called about another issue and spoke to the owner and unfortunately he was really rude and condescending to me and because of that I don't feel comfortable going back to him. Three stars for the good service I got the first time. And taking off two stars for the follow up call. read more

Great service, professional, highly recommend. A young man in 30's went above and beyond in rectifying my auto issue.

A no frills shop but the guys seem quite good and I get a vibe of honesty from them. Lenny who could be the owner seems quite conscientious and apologized profusely at one of his workers allowing a friend to get in ahead of me when I was there before him for service. I let it go because they were forthcoming in the explanation. I went for an Oil change which was done right in front of me and took all of 15 mins or so. The price might be a bit on the high side for some but I will gladly pay 60 - 70 dollars knowing folks are doing legit work. Plus, I am all about supporting our local business. Auto mechanic is a business rife with chicanery and outright deceit by many shops who would lie and cheat automobile owners out of their money. When you find a place that seems to be doing good, honest business, you spread the word. Although this was a simple Oil change. The vibe was solid and therefore I am giving this place 5 stars. read more

Feel like the owner "Tesh" makes up prices on the spot. Always asking to come back after business hours "because busy" even though the shop is half empty... I was overcharged for a spot weld on an exhaust and asked to pay $100 for inspection because he claims my back window is tinted...it was not. Went down the block and passed, paid the standard $39. I witnessed a customer come in for exhaust repair only for Tesh to ask him "who did such a bad job on the repair?" The customer replied "you did"....and that said all I needed to know about that business. read more

Shout out to Lenny and the guys at Monkey Wrench Auto Repair in Ozone Park, NY for always taking such good care of all our vehicles ensuring we always travel safely. They are courteous, reliable, and fairly priced. THANKS GUYS read more

Had a wonderful experience, from the moment I called until I drove off, they were so nice and so helpful. Fixed my car fast and for a very good price. Will continue to use these guys from now on. read more

Tried to rip me off to get extra work done to pass my inspection when a quick search showed its not necessary to pass inspection. He lives up to the stereotype grimey mechanics that charge extra for work you dont need. Pass on this one. Hard to develop trust with mechanics these days when they lie to you. read more

Shop is in the cut so you have to look out for it. They offer great service and good advice on what you need to get done. I am happy that they take cards as well. Very convenient. I came and got my coil overs adjusted and knew exactly what was wrong. Definitely would come and get service again. read more

I've been bringing my car here for a many years now, from my hooptie 2000 Honda Civic to my 2016 Civic EX-T. Any little alert I get on my car, I bring it right away and the guys look it over, make recommendations and explain it clearly, and have very fair prices. I never feel like I'm being talked down to or ripped off, these guys are the real deal with honesty and integrity. I once had an inspection issue where I wasn't passing due to changing the battery and brought it in three times and they only charged me once and on the third try, I passed without getting charged extra, not sure if that's what they do for everyone or for loyal customers, but I was very happy with that help! If it's something they cannot do (very rare!) or best served elsewhere, they will recommend somewhere to go instead of trying to do it themselves for more money and I absolutely trust their recommendations. My best recommendation is getting to the shop early to get in and out, especially for simple things like inspections and oil changes. read more

Went in for a small issue. Mechanic checked my car. Told me that I can buy a small piece at autozone and its easy to install. I tried giving him money and he wouldnt take it. Such nice people and any other mechanic would have charged at least 30 bucks. read more

This is the most honest mechanic I've been to. He took two days to fix my son' Jeep and just could not. After two days he called me in and returned my deposit. Asked me to take the care to the dealer because he felt the problem was not the parts but the operating system of the vehicle. He could have just charged me and replaced parts but he didn't. I will be sure to use them going forward for all our vehicles. read more

I been here 3 times and 3 times they couldn't do what I needed on my truck. Basic work, exhaust work, brake lines and I forgot the first thing. Nice guys, that's why I give 2 stars but if you need your car fixed, look elsewhere. read more

We use Monkey Wrench for our mechanical and maintenance work with no issues. They are always fair, reliable and flexible.

Their okay. Even though I think some of the guys there overprice at times. I went in for a simple change of a car part and they said over 500 dollars. I took it to another shop, the guys changed it for 200 and my car has been working perfect. It's an ok shop. Look around before anything read more

Update... A few months ago we had to bring my Dad's car to Monkey Wrench because the check engine light came on. Lenny put it up on the lift, and easily spent about 30 minutes testing it and diagnosing it. Turned out my Dad put duct tape on the gas cap (silly, old man). He thought it would make a better seal. This allowed oxygen into the tank, and set off the light. We absolutely wasted 30 minutes of Lenny's time, and he still refused to take any money. I mean really. What mechanic does that? These guys are golden. Original Review from 2013: HONEST SERVICE AT A FAIR PRICE!!!! Had a 2002 Nissan Sentra that was making a strange noise and having difficulty starting. Decided to give Monkey Wrench a try after reading the other 2 reviews on here, and they were spot on. They immediately diagnosed the starting problem as a battery issue, and said the rattling/ grinding when driving was probably the exhaust system shield. When I asked when I should come pick the car up, they told me I could wait, that it would be 15 minutes. Could NOT believe that. Elsewhere, I usually have to leave my car for an hour for an oil change. They welded the shield back on right there. Charged me $152 for a new battery and the shield repair. That was a fair price. NOW FOR THE HONEST PART.... While driving away the car continued to make some awful noise, and so I made a U-turn and brought it back. The techs heard it as I drove it, and said it might be the brakes. So I'm thinking great... Here we go... $$$$$ They put my car back on the lift and all the techs gathered, staring intently at inner edges of my wheels. They came back and told me it was some metal grinding against the rotor of one of the wheels. A wrench and 2 minutes and it was fixed. They could have easily told me I needed new brakes and I'd have been none the wiser. But they were 100% HONEST. I have already recommended them to two friends! read more

Took my 2010 maxima to Monkey Wrench, i kid you not these guys did a two day job in the space of 2hrs unbelievable! Chris pin pointed the many issues that contributed to my on going problems, he gave me a fare estimate ordered the parts in 2days my night mare was over. The car felt brand new, I literally cried while driving. The staff is polite and hard working i will NEVER go any where else. Monkey Wrench is the best hands down I highly recommend them! read more

I had a custom cat back exhaust system shipped from California and I needed to find a shop to install it. I was referred to Monkey Wrench. It's a small shop but don't let that fool you. Lenny was super helpful and professional and got the job done at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. read more

Very good people and fare prices, When there with a break line leak and the guys Where very friendly and professionals. read more

Lenny and the rest of the crew were quick polite and thorough in doing my NYS Inspection. It's a small place, maybe only fits 2 cars inside, and it's very popular so there may be a wait, but it seems to be for good reason. Will try them again for other things and review again accordingly. read more

Very helpful staff. My son's stroller broke on our way home and guys working at Monkey Wrench fix it for me free of charge.

Went to monkey wrench for an oil change and they did a stupendous job for half the price of other mechanics. They also informed me of other issues with the car which I also entrusted them to fix. Convenient location with great people and great service. read more

Just went to Monkey Wrench and noticed why it has 5 star reviews. They are straight forward with you with no bs. A week ago I had pep boys check my breaks and gave me an estimate of 350 dollars, telling me brakes used over a year must be changed no matter what (didn't sound right).....I decided to take it to Monkey wrench and Bruce walked me through each break pad and surely the breaks still were good....he did show me the pads installed were cheap quality (pep boys previously installed) , and that's the reason for noise when I brake. He was honest, reliable and fair. Checked the rest of my car without any charge. I will surely recommend anyone with car issues to come here. read more

These guys are honest and know their stuff. They got me out of a jam from a previous mechanic's work and have earned a new customer's trust.

These guys are jerks. I called to see if I could get an inspection, they said to come in 45 minutes. I show up and am asked to wait an additional 40 minutes, after which they tell me their inspection machine is broken. No apology, no consideration for the fact that it's now too late in the day to go to anyone else. Unless you're personal friends with these people, you'll get treated like crap. read more

The place looks like a dive, off the beaten path, but it has really honest mechanics who seek the best solution and price. It took a long time for me to find a good mechanic, and I won't go to anyone else now. read more

This place is really good, they are honest and fast, I didn't feel as I was ripped off.

These guys are very trustworthy, I had the silliest thing wrong with my car and they fixed it, no charge. They are my new mechanics.

I have been going to monkey wrench for years and I would NEVER go anywhere else!! First of all its so hard to find an honest mechanic Especially for a woman, but these guys are as honest as they come!! Second, they Really know their work and they are Great at what they do! Lenny and Chris are truly good guys and will not "steer" you wrong. I have recommended them plenty them plenty of times and will continue to do so. They have a customer for life with me!! You will NOT be sorry if you go here! His prices are very reasonable too. read more

Called ahead asking to get my car inspected and they were very kind and told me ahead of time that they could inspect my car but not guarantee a time frame. I was off today so I was very flexible and I live near by so was not worried about timing. From the time I drove over and had my car inspected I would say it took 10 minutes max. Also couldn't beat the fair price!!! The mechanics were great and I'm so happy I took a chance on trying a new place out. So very appreciative for their professionalism and service to my car!!! read more

Very professional workshop. Recommended anyone to chris. Best mechanic you can count on.

I went to the Monkey Wrench for the first time today and had a NYS inspection done. They lived up to their reviews. It took 15 mins and they passed us. We paid cash, and it was done. Very quick and clean. Greatly appreciated. read more
