I am so pleased that you were recommended to me. Thanks for your honest and timely service! read more

Got my engine oils changed here Service was great and everyone was friendly They don't really have a good waiting area so ended up walking down to Starbucks. Will def be back if needed. I do think they might charge a little more than I'm used to but I was able to go in right away so I'm grateful for that. read more

The most sincere and honest, they do great job. Prices is very reasonable as well. I Would certainly go back again for their service

Never a worry in 15 years when Taka and crew have their magical hands on my car and its need. Great experience and got my car back ahead of time. read more

I highly recommend Saeilo Motors and they definitely live up their positive reviews on Google! I brought my car in for a brake rotor replacement and Taka was quick to asses and quote me. He even said I could drive around on it for a few more month and then bring it in! You just do not get that level of honestly at bigger chain companies. When I did drop my car off he said it should be ready in a day and a half but called me a few hours later and said it was ready to pick up! Taka's honesty, professionalism, quick turnaround, and fair prices will keep me coming back!! read more

Honest proprietor who realizes his customers aren't made of money. Not the least expensive shop but affordable. "No upselling" as cited in another review or creating "needed" repairs. Not averse to engineering a fix, appropriate to the age of the vehicle, in order to avoid exorbitant repair costs. Courteous and willing to explain as well as show you the hows, wheres, and whys of a repair and to discuss repair costs. Diagnosing complex problems can become expensive. He charges a percentage for credit card use as well as an "enviro" charge. Employs competent and friendly mechanics. Repairs are completed in a timely manner. The shop is directly across from the Edgewater Commons Mall on River Road in Edgewater so there's plenty of major stores, coffee shops, a McDonald's, etc., places to kill time while waiting. read more

Honest old school mechanics. The owner is a gentleman who doesn't overcharge or suggest work that is not needed. I just took my vintage BMW in for an oil change today and couldn't be happier. In and out quickly and I noticed the mechanic even took the time to inflate my back tires a bit, reattached one of my hood struts, and pulled an oil sample for me to send to Blackstone labs for analysis. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness. It's always a pleasant experience when I go there for service. read more

Saeilo Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Edgewater, New Jersey

= Disappointed = A friend recommended this place and he told me the owners are nice Japanese people and good what they do. My experience was really bad. They told me $65 for oil change for my car (provided year and model) on the phone yesterday . So, we went there today and after oil was changed, they charged me $81.64. That was RIP OFF. We complained and they returned me only $8.50 in cash. This place charged me $81.64 for Oil change. I wouldn't go if I knew it will cost $81.64... I will never go back or recommend this place. read more

Although it cost $20 for 10 minutes, Taka quickly ran a check on my transmission to confirm my suspicions. He strikes me as knowledgeable and professional, yet friendly. read more

I was staying in NJ for a long weekend and my starter wouldn't work. They had me back on the road in a day at a reasonable price..Super appreciative of their quick service, detailed work, and kindness read more

Called shop because I had a slow leak. Owner was closing in 20 mins waited while I was in my way. They were very courteous. Plugged up my two holes and got me back on the road headed home.... read more

Tried to scam me. I got an estimate for 250 for a ln out headlight. The actual part costs 40 dollars so they want me To pay more than triple The cost of the part for labor read more

I had an issue with my AC. Driver side was blowing out warm air while passenger side was blowing out cold air when it was set on AC mode. Brought it in without an appointment and they took in my car right away. Within few hours he called and let me know that the temperature control sensor on the driver side wasn't working and needed to be replaced. The part had to be ordered n delivered for the next day. Only good thing is I don't have to drive daily to work. So within very next day he replaced the part and got my car back in working condition. The price is very fair and definitely cheaper than bringing it in to a dealership. Overall Salieo Motors is a reliable, helpful and trust worthy place to take your car when in need. I been going there for years and haven't had any issues. I highly recommend them if you need your car fixed if you are living locally. read more

I went in for a brake fluid flush (at a very reasonable price I might add) and it was done efficiently. They also noticed one of my tires was wearing unevenly...they did a tire rotation but ask/showed me first. No upsell on anything...I will be back! read more

This is the best place have your car serviced, hand down. Taka, Yoshie and staff are excellent, they are honest, they do first class work, they are true craftsmen and they treat my car like they would treat thier own. They did brakes and rotors and rotor on my 2010 Lexus RX350, perfect!! They worked on my honda repairing a broken strut, replaced an alternator, conrtol arms, serviced a leaky valve cover gasket, worked on a challenging brake system repair and replaced an antenna (yes it's an old car). I can't say enough!!! Thanks guys !!!!! Josh read more

Fantastic! I needed a throttle body replacement. He diagnosed the issue w/ in 10 mins of me arriving, I got the name of the part.c purchased it @ autozone, & he fixed everything in an hour and a 1/2. He also plugged my tire, which was previously pesky and & constantly deflating. The best bit is the honesty. The hourly prices are posted when you walk into the office for you to see. If you bring the parts they only charge you for the labor. The mechanics are such nice guys. I'm so glad they gave me an accurate estimate of time, a fair price for services rendered, and a phone call when my car was ready :-) Go here, you'll be pleased w the results. read more

Went there for an oil change on my 2020 Grand Cherokee and the service was excellent, got it done in about 40 minutes

I've been going to Saeilo for oil changes for over 7 years now, and with every visit, I have experienced nothing short of exceptional and efficient service. After having experiences with one too many shady mechanics in the area, I also learned the hard way to have Saeilo fix my car issues as well. They are always honest, upfront with pricing and expectations, and professionals all the way! read more

I have been going to Mr. Taka for a long time and his workmanship has always been excellent. He and his son run a professional business and everything is done right the first time so you never have to go back for corrections. Their prices are better than anyone else on the River Road strip so not only do you get a great job but you wallet does not shrink. Mr. Taka is very honest and reliable and I trust him 100%.

I used to go to Honda dealers for my 2007 Accord and the dealers always want to sell more services. I do not feel such "pressure" at Saeilo. Another thing to mention is that they do not have a cozy spot for customers to hang around during the repair work, but in some ways this is why you will not be charged too much at dealership. Saeilo fixed my Accord hard to start engine problem which a local Honda dealer cannot handle (I spent 600+ dollars to replace starter but still they problem lingers). This is why I would like to recommend Saeilo. read more

Excellent and thoughtful service every time. Professional and responsive, knowledgeable and personable. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Went here for AC gas refill. They added an additional equipment to measure leakage without consulting or asking me, and just added it to the bill. Don't seem to be very honest. read more

Saeilo has been keeping our two Prius vehicles running well for about a decade now. He does the necessary work quickly, reliably and inexpensively. read more

As always very professional and quick service (oil change). Will continue to use as long as I have my current vehicle.

Got an oil change here for a 2011 BMW e93 and the service was great. The -1 star is for leaving a dime-sized red paint mark from the power lift on the skirt. read more

Just recently moved back to NJ, and my car needed an oil change. Came here because of the high ratings and location. The owner and son gave the car a check and noticed that the right taillight wasn't working. He ordered a new OEM part, but it didn't show up. So, I suggested that a used part be used instead (it's an old car). Once it arrived, it was installed quickly. And, he gave me a couple car tips also. He answered phones when I called for status. Seemed like both owner and son pay a lot of attention to details, which is great. This is a small garage, almost hidden by a gas station. There's a mall across the street if I needed to hang out somewhere but didn't need to. Reasonable prices and easygoing experience. read more

Great service quick and reasonable! Totally recommend. Will not rip you off at all. I would definitely recommend this place read more

I've always been treated fairly here. When I go to some of the bigger chains for service (meineke, midas, etc.) its a mixed bag. Sometimes they are fair, sometimes it feels like they are trying to squeeze every dollar they can get out of you. With Taka, I feel like he goes out of his way to save me money. That's why I always prefer to go to an independently owned mechanic shop over a big chain. When you own the shop, you care more about the service you provide. read more

I had a major emergency repair 10 years ago. Saeilo was the closest shop. He got no me back on the road in 24 hours. I have been returning to his shop again and again, everything from scheduled maintenance to tires to major mystery problems. He is a great diagnostic ian. He is fast and thorough. He doesn't invent nonexistent problems. He is very reasonable. I won't go anywhere else. I have 3 cars by different manufacturers. He handles all of them. read more

Hallelujah finally an honest mechanic. A code scanner I bought told me what codes were coming up to cause the check engine light to come on. I shared code info with the owner of Saeilo Motors. Less honest mechanics have already overcharged me to fix this check engine warning. Saeilo Motors actually found the real problem and fixed it for under $100. I will be using them from now on. read more

I have never been happy to write a check for car repair before I started to take my 166,000 mile Pontiac to Mr. Taka at Saeilo Motors. You see, I'm a senior citizen on a fixed income and I own my car and it is important to me. The thought of having to spend $10,000 or more on another used car sends me into a panic. Mr. Taka always gets me back on the road in the most economical way and I appreciate that. I also trust him completely and that gives me peace of mind knowing I will not be ripped off. I've been using Saeilo Motors since I moved to Edgewater and have never been disappointed. Not only is he wise and prudent, he is friendly and kind. An absolute gem. And don't be put off by the sorta sketchy look of the exterior. As in most things in life, it's what's inside that counts. read more

I would love to recommend this shop to everyone that lives in Northern NJ. This place basically have everything you want for a mechanic shop,they are professional, honest, efficient and offers VERY REASONABLE price. I recently dropped my car in for a timing belt service and is able to get my car back in just one day.Mr. Teka thoroughly went through everything about the job and his price is very reasonable. Again this is the best auto mechanic in this area and I would recommend it to everybody. read more

Always a pleasure to work with. I've been there twice so far and everything went smooth and they are honest and trustworthy. It's hard to find a dependable shop that doesn't try and inflate prices and charge for things that don't need fixing. I will recommend this place to everyone. read more

Mr. Taka is a gentleman and runs a first class repair shop. I drive from Rockland County as I do not trust anyone else to touch my car. He was highly recommended, and now I know why. The place is cluttered and a bit funky, don't be put off. This is a rare gem of a place. Edgewater Commons Shopping mall is across the street if you need to kill a few hours waiting. read more

Do not be suspicious of the great reviews - Mr Taka runs a honest, respectable shop and does great work. I came in for routine maintainence and inspection. It took a few hours but upon coming back, Mr Taka said everything looked good and gave me his recommendations. In the end, I left highly satisfied; no feelings of being suckered in to get work I didn't need. He will be my goto mechanic for now on! read more

Me and my husband are clients of Saelo service for more than 10 yrs. the service they provided is absolutely the best you can get. You can trust your loved baby car to there hands and have no worries after. Highly recommended! read more

I noticed my car was making noise and could not figure it out, but they found the cause (exhaustion) and fixed nicely.

The service was excellent, honest, and efficient. We were a little reluctant seeing the place from outside, as it looks a bit rundown. But so glad for Yelpers showing us the sparkle of such diamonds in the rough. We got synthetic oil change, which was reasonably priced. And since we recently moved from out of state, we needed the new plates fixed and old plates removed. They did that for us for free. At the end, Mr. Taka also presented us with a unique pen with a small flashlight, just as a token of appreciating us as new customer! I have to agree with other Yelpers, he seems like a very hardworking, honest and reliable business owner. read more

Efficient. Courteous. Honest. What more can you ask for? My transmission shifting stopped going into reverse late this afternoon (Saturday). But for Saeilo Motors, my weekend would have been shot. I was stranded at the Edgewater post office, I called Saeilo minutes before he was ready to close for the weekend - and Taka came to push me out of the parking spot I was trapped in - and then he efficiently fixed the electrical problem and got me back on the road. Fixed fast - charged me very fairly - and was totally nice about the whole thing. All professional services should be this good. read more
