I have been involved with car repairs since I was a kid. I have seen dishonest mechanics charge…read moreowners for hvac fans when it was a blown fuse/bad plug, terrible R&Rs destroy a car, exaggeration of a job's difficulty, serious overcharging 8 hours of work for a 1.5 hour job and slam bang mechanics destroy stuff and incompetent work. For the most part auto mechanics are not trustworthy. Then comes their attitudes, egos and chip on their shoulders were they think the customer is an idiot. I have rebuilt engines, transmissions, worked as a mechanic at SunShipbuilding and Drydock where we built the Howard Hughes Glomar Explorer and LNG tankers. I am a moderator of a Cadillac forum and help owners around the world diagnose problems on their Cadillacs. Finding competency and honesty in the auto repair segment is very difficult. However, Augie is the FIRST mechanic I have met that listens to the customer, is honest and he knows his stuff. He is a rare find and you won't make a mistake trusting him with your car. He has no ego, he is approachable and is committed to making sure you are happy with the result. Sometimes it takes more than one attempt to remedy a problem, that is not the mechanics fault all the time. Give Augie the chance to help you out, you won't be sorry.

So I used to go to this guy named Ralph back when he had his own shop on Portion Road in…read moreRonkonkoma. Long story short Ralph has been a good guy to my mom and I in a pinch and always been straight up with whatever needed to be done. Unfortunately or fortunately I haven't needed much of Ralph's services since leasing a car since 2012. So I always took my car yearly for the inspection. That was the least I could do since he ALWAYS took care of me and my cars before I started leasing. His guys were always nice too. One time I had picked up a nail or screw in my tire in my '12 Jetta while working in Garden City. Called the shop up and they waited for me to get to the shop same day to plug and patch. Ralph has now since retired but my mom and I both are in touch with him via social media. So in a pinch last Saturday I sent him a message in desperation. I told him that Smithtown VW just told me I needed to spend $200 plus tax on a new tire and balancing and who should I go to look at it? I wasn't exactly ready to throw down the $200 plus since my '15 Passat is about to be turned in. He ever so graciously told me to get in touch with his old shop manager/friendly face JR over here at All American. So I did. JR told me that he was closing up for the night but he'll be back in on Monday and to come by and his guys will take a look. Unfortunately I was under the weather on Monday and didn't wind up going to work. After calling JR on Tuesday telling him I didn't forget about him we arranged I'd see him before work on Wednesday. So off I went on Wednesday morning. Nervous since Smithtown VW didn't tell me where this alleged nail was I was afraid I was going to be sucked into buying a new tire. Thankfully JR took me right away pretty much after we bs'ed a little and had one of the guys check it out. Well low and behold I didn't need to throw away $200 plus to a tire because it was patched in no time. So thanks to Ralph for putting me in touch with JR. I know where to go now in a pinch for little issues and for my inspections now. Thank you JR for taking care of my tire. I promise if I get my Jeep I'm coming back so you can oogle it.

He took the time to look at my car, figured out the problem in minutes, and gave me an estimate for labor and parts. I had no choice because I couldn't drive my car in that condition so I went for it. He called me a few hours later to explain what was going on and told me car would be ready the next day. JR was honest, polite, and completely knowledgeable- he explained what was happening and what caused the problem- and before doing anything else, called to make sure I wanted it done. He even did the inspection on my car :) JR is the manager at the shop and has only been there a few months. The other reviews are from awhile ago- please check this place out if you need honest and reliable work done!
