Had my timing belt done at Kars 2 years ago, and it broke within 2 years, took it back to Kars told…read moreJimmy a banging noise is coming from the side of the timing belt, Jimmy check it, he said it was a rod that's broke, and I needed another engine. I told him it sound like my timing belt, he insisted it wasn't. He said it should last another 6 months or even a year. 2 weeks later going to work, yelp, it broke, my belt. Stuck on the Parkway. So NJ Parkway tow truck charge me $337.75 to get towed to Honda. I thought Honda was going to say, I needed another engine like Jimmy from Kars said I did. Nope they said it was a failed timing belt. I forgot to say I asked Jimmy should I take it to Honda, he said for what, they can't do anything either but put another engine in it. Why would he lie to me, after being a great customer too? Now I had to pay for another timing belt, oil pump cause it ruined it somehow.$ 1,586.98 later, still mad.

I was almost ready to give up and I tried Kars Automotive and they found the issue and resolved it on my first visit for a fraction of what I spent at the other places. I have learned my lesson and will only be bringing my car back here in the future for any maintenance or work that is needed. What a delight to have a mechanic that listens to you and resolves the issue and does not find other ways to get more money from you. Ten out of ten.

Finding a good, honest, and reliable mechanic is the Holy Grail for any car owner. Derrick…read moresucceeded where two other mechanics across town had failed. Not only was the diagnosis absolutely correct, but it was explained in a way that actually made sense without talking down to me. Derrick and his team have been my mechanics since I moved to West Orange in 2018, and at this point I trust them completely with my cars. They're straight shooters. If something can wait, they'll tell you. If something needs attention now, they'll show you why. No pressure, no mystery charges, no unnecessary parts swapping. From a technical standpoint, their diagnostics have been consistently spot-on. They don't just throw parts at a problem hoping something sticks; they take the time to trace the root cause, whether it's electrical, drivetrain, or something more subtle that other shops miss. The work is done right the first time, and I've never had to come back for the same issue. Pricing is fair, turnaround times are realistic, and communication is excellent. They treat you like a long-term customer, not a one-time invoice. Shops like this are rare, and if you're looking for a place you can stick with for years, this is it. I recommend them without hesitation.

Their shop is very clean and the mechanics are professional and friendly. Derrick was great to meet after reading so much about him in previous reviews. They have music playing in the three bay work area which is great, it keeps everyone in good spirits while working on your vehicle. Pricing was very reasonable and straightforward (and no games that are played like from my area in NYC where there is a cash vs credit price where merchants charge you 2-5% extra if you pay by credit card.) I made an appointment for my service on their website and highly recommend you do as well as opposed to walk-in service as they are very busy and then calling them to confirm that for your requested service that you can wait rather than drop off (BUT that depends on where you live and of course what you need done, I'm in NYC so I can't drop it off and leave and comeback when done, I need to wait; if I needed time consuming work / parts like the lower block changed on my J35Y6 engine due to the connecting rod recall, I'd need to leave it there and come back when done days later of course, but for fluid changes like oil/atf/differential/transfer case/break/coolant, I would wait.) For my service, they got to my vehicle quickly and the service was perfect and took the exact amount of time to do it right. I'll be coming back for service for both of my vehicles going forward. I'm coming from NYC and getting there is very convenient especially if you take the I95 to 280W. I have nothing but praise for Derrick and his team!

The best compliment I can give is "I Trust them" and the bonus is the cost is resonable.
