Called them after few minutes their tow truck came and took our car. Happened afternoon so they are almost closing. Next day, Billy called and said whats the problem with our car. It was transmission and a whooping $$$$! The level of communication that the people from Chris was impeccable, they call almost daily to give updates. Fast forward, parts was delayed and we received our car a few days before it turned a month. (Can you imagine how much we paid for rental?!) Anyway, they gave us a very good discount. I can't even put words how everything went. So you imagine the crazy stress we had experienced?! Thankfully Chris Automotive was very reasonable with their prices, staffs were great and our car is back! Will definitely recommend this place!

These people are crooks! My son went there for an inspection. Simple, right? They attempted to…read morebill him $504.00. They claimed he needed a new battery and a brake fluid flush in order to pass the inspection. Huh?? Well, the battery was nearly new, so we certainly did not need a new battery, but my son is new at this and didn't get a hold of me in time, so before I was able to chime in, they put in a new battery for about $225. But get this---they charged him an additional $80.00 for labor to install the battery that they sold him!!! I have been around the block six or seven times, and I have NEVER heard of this. Outright rip-off. I told him to tell them to take out the battery and forget the whole thing. As you may have guessed, yep, they told him it would be another $80.00 in labor to remove it. Are you F*&^ing kidding me??? As for the brake fluid, well, we had just had that done, too, along with new pads and rotors. So . . . we were able to get our car out of there before they go to that. Bottom line: our mandatory $20 inspection sticker cost us $350. Nice. Bastards. NEVER USE THIS PLACE. IT'S A CLIP JOINT. I have written letters to the BBB, The New York State Consumer Protection Bureau, and the Bureau of Consumer and Facility Services and the Department of Motor Vehicles. I have also filed a dispute with my credit card company. I see that Mavis responded. So, here's my response to them: Let's see . . . you ruined a day with, and for, my son. You taught him that auto repair shops are not to be trusted nor respected. You took complete advantage of him, because you knew the car was not his, and he's only 18, so an easy mark, right? And, we're now out of pocket $230 for a battery we didn't need and $80 for labor that shouldn't have been charged. Not to mention that at $110 an hour you charged me for 45 minutes for a job that took ten minutes. Nice. You should be ashamed of yourselves. So, you ask what you can do to fix this? Write a letter of apology to my son, and refund the amount charged for labor. Then, issue an RMA and we will return the battery. That's what you can do to help. And, if you do all of that, I will edit my review so that it reflects your good business sense.
