I was in transit and about 300 miles from home when my car overheated while on the Cross Island Parkway. AAA recommended this shop and I could not be more pleased with the service provided. It turned out to be a cooling fan failure and was repaired quickly. The other parts of the system were checked and were OK. Very courteous and efficient. Labor rates were appropriate for the location according to my research. They honored the AAA discount on labor. If I lived nearby, I would use them for all services they provide. read more

Very serviceable shop with nice attitude. The staff is courteous and it's literally within a stone's throw from my house. Good for general repair and inspection. read more

I asked my wife to come by this place and get an inspection done since we live fairly close. The inspection guy told my wife that she needed to change the oil because whoever did the oil change had given us 3 quartz over what the car needs. He also mentioned to her that her front brakes and rotos were bad and went ahead a quoted her $550 for front brakes and rotors. We did the brakes and rotors on her cars last December through Nissan dealership and she e had just done a new oil change earlier this week. This place is full of scammers trying to rob people. I do not recommend this place at all do not come to this shop. read more

Aman and his staff have been taking care of several of my cars for years now. I trust them and they are honest if I need work that they may not provide then they are upfront about it. If you find Aman to take be rude, then you are the problem. He has always been nothing but gracious, kind, and respectful to me, my family, and the other customers that have walked in here. read more

Reliable honest service for inspections, or replacing brake pads and rotors, or replacing tires at a fair price. Gas is same price cash or credit and usually the best price compared to the surround stations. Station is very clean and maintained well. Small servicing garage for basic services. My car couldn't start and took it here to have it serviced after towing, and although they couldn't fix it, they were honest to recommended me to go to the official car mechanic due. They did not take any fee despite me offering for atleast trying to fix it; honest mechanics are hard to come by and any other place could've ripped you off and say some BS to get your money. This place is true to their word and stand by their business, will return any time for my auto mechanical servicing needs. read more

Nor Marathon Service Station - Auto Repair Near Me - Douglaston, New York

Beware of deceit and overcharging. Charged $31 for a plug on a flat tire. Then told me my back brakes were no good. In doubt, I went to my regular repair shop which had changed the brakes a short time ago, and they are in good condition. read more

Don't come here if you care about customer service or your car. Came in to get an annual inspection and they just ignored me. When I asked multiple times they said to wait a few hours. For an inspection? read more

Thank you Aman and team for a quick inspection and suggesting changing 2 items. Ordered for the next day and installed. Appreciate your friendly customer service and experience. read more

I needed my state inspection as I saw that mine had already expired. I called today and my car was inspected today! Aman was personable and I felt secure due to their masking policy. A potential problem was uncovered and Aman explained what I can do so that I avoid a possible costly repair. I am pleased to have this service station so close to home and will certainly continue to patronize this local business. read more

This place often cheats on certain types of customers by creating problems on the car and then way overcharged to repair. Guess the owner of this car shop makes much more money than decent car shop in NYC area. read more

I was recommended by my husband and he was so right! This place is totally recommended. Aman and his crew are all so nice and kind. Aman will tell you what u need and will work on your car ASAP.

Stopped in for an estimate on brakes and rotors; received same day service at a fair price. Aman is very professional and polite. Would definitely recommend. read more

Spoke with NOR today. Misunderstanding and all has been straightened out. I will be bringing my car there for remainder of work.

I normally dont write review but today i had enough. Ive been trying to get a inspection for the last 3 weeks. Every time i go back ive been getting one excuses after another. "Sorry dont have any inspection sticker ", " we're busy" and today was the kicker. They dont do inspection after 4pm. I explained in the pass that it shouldnt take long because their no issues with the car. I think that was a mistake on my part. It feels they dont want to perform the inspection because they couldnt make any $ off of me. I'll give you the same advice the manager gave me, after i told him hes full of it. He told me " go somewhere else " i would suggest you do the same. read more

Last week we drove 8 hours down from Montreal Canada our 2001 BMW front left axel loosened & broke apart just as we arrived at our destination at 10pm! Stressed out & exhausted with a car full of luggage we called my sister who immediately told us to have the car towed to her Mechanics at Nor Marathon. The BP gas station that was part of Nor Marathon took us in that evening and ensured our car would be safe in their lot till the garage opened the next day. Promtly at 7am the next morning we met the manager Aman and he was quick to address our breakdown. They were able to assess exactly the condition, the parts needed (very fair prices) and cost to get us safely back on the road. Upon inspecting further they also found a leak in our oil filter housing and replaced our radiator hoses. We were aware that these issues were outstanding but figured we would address when we returned back to Canada. Because of this we know that Aman very honest, exact, and completely fair! He and his team worked quickly to get us back on the road within that day! By 6pm we were ready to go! We are certain the amount of work he did for us would have taken longer and cost more in our city. Aman mission statement is true to his words. They know how costly it is to maintain a car. We owe a debt of gratitude Aman and his mechanics! ----------- One week since the repair: This is a update to the last review. After our car was repaired we drove to Long Island City to park our car for the balance of our vacation. We left our car parked for a few days in the feeling cold weather and upon leaving for our 8 hour return to Montreal we discovered the our 2 year old car battery had died due to a faulty light on the display screen. We call AAA and they boosted our car and thought it would be best to drive it to restore the battery. While driving we called back Nor Marathon to tell them of what happened as we were headed towards Douglaston. Aman the manager was not in but Mohammed answered and remembered us and told us to come in to have them take a look at the car. They took us without appointment (On Super Bowl Sunday!) and after checking our battery said that we may need a new one but before we we make this additional investment Mohammed said let super charge the battery for 20 minutes to be sure. After the 20 minutes he told us the battery was keeping the charge and we would not need to purchase the new battery! WHAT??? We didn't even need to pay for the boost! We cannot say enough good things about how honest and professional this garage is! They could have sold us a new Battery but instead Mohammed told us we should be okay and when we return to Montreal to take the battery back to the place we bought it for their guarantee. We made it back to Montreal Canada and we really have Aman & Mohammed from Nor Marathon to thank for this! We wish we had this garage in Montreal! read more

I went to this shop a couple of times for emergencies while on my way to work but I think I am going to use their services for all my car needs. These guys take are of you in no time, do a great job with your car and the price you pay is very affordable. I went there with the punctured tire this morning. They took care of it in minutes, they treat my car like it's their own so I don't have to worry about that problem again. The people running the business are very friendly, the shop is spotless clean and there are a handful of convenience stores across the street to grab a nice cup of coffee or a bite while you wait. Above that, I know car is in good hands and will be taken care of promptly. For me, a mechanic is like a doctor. You hope you don't need them outside of routine checkups, but when you do need them, they better be good and trustworthy. Nor Marathon looks like that place for me. read more

I first went to this service station when I moved to the area in 2001 due to the convenience of being able to drop off my car and walk home, not to mention they're open 7DAYS A WEEK 7AM-7PM! Not only were they fast, honest and gave me more than generous discounts, their work was always on point! I moved to Hicksville for a year, came back for another 12 then left again in 2016, all the while choosing them exclusively to service my vehicles because another mechanic this awesome would be hard to find, if not impossible, especially one open until 7PM 7 DAYS A WEEK! A couple examples of them going above and beyond to help me: - When my transmission crapped out, instead of accepting a nice chunk of change for the repair, they said it wasn't work saving and I should get a new car instead. - My car has an issue with its computer resetting that causes it to fail inspections sometimes. Knowing it is an ongoing issue, they are totally cool about it and won't charge me to get it reinspected. A few years ago they even drove it around for me to reset the computer because it failed the second attempt. I'll actually be going there today for my oil change, and stumbled upon their yelp after googling them. I never review anything, so believe me, they must be good if I actually posted one. lol. Edit: Oh Snap it says now they close at 6pm according to their yelp. Boo! Still great availability though. lol. read more

I live nearby and used to come here all the time. New management changed the culture and every time I bring my car nowadays they make it more complicated than it should be. And I'm not a novice I ran a repair shop in my youth. If you go there for more than something simple, I wish you luck. read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE! This is an HONEST group with a first-class manager and staff. I have used their services many times and have always received excellent quality service and very fair pricing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this establishment!!! Arthur F. read more

They always take very good care of my car and never try to push any service that isn't needed. Aman and his service crew are very courteous and honest. Two things I feel are very important when looking for a place to service your car. read more
