The ABSOLUTE WORST experience I've ever had in my 50 years of collecting cars. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THEM. Got an estimate from them to have the brake drums reground on my 1960 Dodge, around $150. The mechanic said my car also needed brake shoes and wheel cylinders. I agreed to do the work he thought was necessary. They kept my car for over three weeks and never contacted me with any updates on the service. I had to call them to get updates. The final bill? $2,500!! I thought this was a joke. I consulted other mechanics about the work and they couldn't believe this highway robbery, their pricing estimates were much more reasonable.
This does not end here. Driving home the brake pedal was so low the 3,500 pound Dodge would barely stop. It came back in much worse shape than when I had dropped it off. I am now in the process of getting my car towed to a more reputable facility, as it is VERY DANGEROUS to operate. I now have a towing bill and am expecting another bill from the new facility. Riverhead Brake will tell you they are a family business and have been open for many years, the truth however is that the business was sold some time ago, and with service like this hopefully they won't be around long to rob future customers.
DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! read more
