    Cracked windshield courtesy of prospect auto repair in Brooklyn.

    LIARS! BROKE MY WINDSHIELD!! I left my car with them today for inspection. They called to tell me I needed new wipers, which I agreed to, and when i picked my car up there was a 9" crack in the windshield right OVER THE INSPECTION STICKER! They claimed it was already there. I CLEARLY would not have passed inspection if the crack was there! Then they claimed the crack would have had to be obstructing the windshield wipers to fail inspection....WHICH IT IS!! Then changed his story to "it needs to be 11" to fail." Which is a blatant LIE! It needs to be 6". Don't you think when you call someone to tell them they need wipers you say "hey by the way you have a crack in your windshield." I obviously looked at the inspection sticker prior to bringing it in and there're was no crack. Lying scammers!! ..Just like half of these reviews confirm. DO NOT GO HERE!!

    BEWARE!!!! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!! The mechanic EDDIE buys busted cars, uses his little tool to turn off check engine lights, puts little to no work into them, then sells them thinking the seller won't notice! Well I did! And I will never deal with this business ever again! I am so disgusted with this place. I found Eddie, one of the mechanics here on Craigslist when I was looking to purchase a car. At first, he was very professional and friendly. We agreed on the price, and he even gave me $100 off after my attempt of negotiating. We did a test drive, in which he wouldn't personally let me drive (RED FLAG) but we drove around and I mentioned to him the grinding noise and the steering issue I noticed. He said he would fix it immediately. He even offered to wash the car for me after I asked him to. You know, I wanted to post my new baby on Facebook and IG so she had to be clean! I asked what else was wrong with the car and his exact words were "nothing! It's in perfect condition. The only thing you need is a new spare tire." I laughed and said, "you know you're my mechanic forever now right?" So I left my deposit and was told to come back Monday. It was a Saturday. So Monday, I came into him, paid the balance and went t the DMV and took care of the registration, etc. This was MARCH 2, 2015. I get back to get my car and the car wasn't washed. Not a real big deal but if you promise something, I expect you to follow through but I didn't complain. I asked him to just do the inspection right then but he said I still had until April to do the inspection and to come back another day. (RED FLAG!) March 5th, I text Eddie about the check engine light being on and when I go to him, he puts something in the car and the light goes off and he tells me to let him know when it comes back on. It came back on 20 miles later. He says come in anytime and he will take care of it. So 3 weeks later, I come in. I am needing an oil change, the inspection renewed, and to check the power steering fluid or see if I need a wheel alignment thing because that initial issue he said was fixed, was obviously not fixed. EDDIE calls me an hour later telling me he can't pass my car because it needs O2 sensors. That's why the light is on and that it costs $400. I said, but I bought it from you like this. This light came on 3 days after purchase. How do you sell me a car that you know wouldn't pass? He says, I sold you the car 3 months ago. What?! It's been 1 month exactly! (Thinking to myself) Why didn't you do the inspection when I first asked? Because you knew it wouldn't pass then and you were trying to get over on me! He says, fine no problem, I can do it for $350 but don't even worry abt the oil change. I'll do that free. So I get back to the shop and I decided I don't want him dealing with the car anymore. I can't trust him. He didn't fix the initial problem, he knew there was a sensor problem and knew it wouldn't pass when he sold it to me. I tell him this and he gets irate and starts brushing me off, not listening to anything I'm saying and yells at me to give him his $30 for the oil change. I refused! You just said the oil change would be complimentary, and now that you're being rude, I'm not paying for anything else! He threatens not to give me my car and I had to call the police! Once he hears me talking to the police dispatcher, he then pulls my car out and asks me not to come back, AS IF I DID SOMETHING WRONG for calling him out on his bull crap! Disgusting practice! And I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau! If I could give 0 stars, that's exactly what this place would have gotten!!!

    They were fast,reasonable and honest. I will definitely…read moregoing back to them. Thank you. J.

    I know nothing about cars & seldom need to use a mechanic / repair shop, so I was looking for a…read moreplace close to Bed Stuy to take my 2007 Lexus that wasn't starting. 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!

    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.
