    Very friendly and small family business with a great crew! Went there for an inspection and will definitively be back! Thanks a lot Charlie!

    They're greatest gentlemen I've ever met :)

    See all

    The best and most honest auto repair place I've ever been too. I don't get my car repaired anywhere else (if I can help it).

    I go here for my annual car inspections. They are always good and prompt. Would recommend.read more

    I normally don't leave reviews -- good or bad. I've always felt they don't truly reflect a…read morebusiness, and honestly, if a place is great, it speaks for itself. If it's not, maybe they're just having an off day. But today, I feel it's necessary to share my experience with Carlos Automotive Repair Shop, both as a fair warning to others and in the hope that the shop addresses some serious issues. I chose this place because it's only six minutes from my home and I like to support local businesses. I'm new to the neighborhood and found them through a quick Google search. First Visit: My first experience was with rear axle work. I was told it would be done by a specific date. I understand things don't always go as planned -- and I'm okay with that. The job was eventually completed, but they forgot to tighten my lug nuts, and I ended up losing two while driving. Their tech had to remove two from another wheel just to keep me going until I could get to AutoZone. I let it slide -- mistakes happen. Second & Third Visits: The last two visits, however, happened within 24 hours and were unacceptable. I stopped in for a simple annual inspection. As I walked into the office, the woman at the desk was polite and helpful. But before I could even speak, the only mechanic on duty shouted from the garage, "Ayo, is that your car? I need you to move out the way." It was loud, rude, and unprofessional. I stepped out to move my car and returned to ask about the inspection. The front desk lady said it would take a few hours because they only had one tech and inspections were first come, first served. Fair enough. She suggested I come back early the next morning. So, I did -- I came back and double-parked near the shop while waiting to check in. And again, the same mechanic came out and yelled, "Ayo!" while pointing, demanding I move because he was backing up. At that point, I realized this guy must think he's a traffic enforcement agent. He was more focused on shouting at customers than doing actual repairs. I drove by and looked into the shop -- just as I suspected, only one person working. Bottom Line: This business clearly does not need or want new customers. One mechanic, poor communication, and a complete lack of professionalism in dealing with people. The work ethic here is like flipping a coin -- maybe you'll get lucky, maybe you won't. I will never return to this shop. And if you value your time, money, and safety -- I suggest you think twice before doing business here.

Plenty of places in Brooklyn have lots of bad reviews, so I went with Malibu due to their lack of abundantly bad reviews. Diagnosed as a rat-chewed wiring harness. Estimated at $390 to fix, which is exactly what I paid. Bit skeptical around how much work/time was actually involved (e.g., I'm a dude who knows nothing about cars & it could have just been a loose ECM wiring plug or a single chewed wire), but at the end of the day, my car is now running perfectly & I didn't have to spend $1k+, so I don't really care how much time actually went into it. Full wiring harness replacements can be thousands of dollars. Also got a tire patched and swapped out for $20, which is cheaper than what a tire repair shop would have charged. Great communication & updates... called in the AM for drop off via tow truck & they promptly kept me updated on progress throughout the day and notified me immediately when my car was ready. Also worth noting (which is pretty reasonable) -- they charge a daily car storage fee once work is done after 24 hours. My dream of not having to deal with street sweeping for a week was unfortunately shattered pretty quickly because they were so quick. Another reason I went with Malibu is because they have a spacious workspace that can hold a lot of cars -- lots of other repair shops have 1-2 lifts in what's effectively a residential sized two car garage. Malibu has a massively sized car warehouse that can hold multiple cars being worked on, and has space for other cars around still. Entire staff is eastern euro (not sure the specific flavor), but they were friendly. I picked my car up right at closing, and got blasted with cig smoke in the garage, which felt appropriate for a car shop closing up for the day. 5/5, would come back!

When I told him I didn't want to spend $200 on a new Volvo headlight lens, he made it work. He always prioritizes the repairs. What I mean is this: he tells me everything he finds wrong and lets me know which problems can wait. He never tries to scare me the way a lot of mechanics do. Also, I never seem to have to pay for the same job twice. On the rare occasion that I have to come back, he makes it right. Lastly, I want to mention how he bends over backward to work within my schedule. I have lost count of the number of times I have shown up and said that I need my car back the next day, and Ami saved the day.

    Terrible experience -- avoid this place at all costs…read more I brought my car in because it was shaking slightly. Ami confidently told me it was the engine mount and quoted a price to fix it. After a few days, I picked up the car and saw the issue wasn't fixed. He then said it might be the gear mount and charged me again. Still no fix. He blamed defective parts and asked me to come back. When I did, he was on vacation and left it to a worker who clearly had no clue what was going on -- and I got another bill. After promising a refund if he couldn't fix it, I gave him one last chance. I waited three hours and he never touched the car. Then he gave me a $1700 bill and refused to return my car unless I paid. He held my car hostage. Ami is full of smooth talk and zero results. This shop is a scam. Don't make the same mistake I did.
