Top-notch service and an excellent experience! Based on a word-of-mouth recommendation and positive Yelp reviews, I booked an 11 AM appointment at Safe & Save Automotive for an oil change and brake service, and I'm so glad I did. Thanh at the front desk was friendly, professional, and thorough. He explained the recommended work and provided a detailed cost breakdown upfront. My car was in the shop from around 11 AM to 3:10 PM, and Thanh kept me informed with regular updates throughout the process. The pricing was exactly as quoted, and there was absolutely no pressure to purchase additional services. For example, they pointed out that my wiper blades needed replacing, which I already knew, but when I mentioned I could take care of it myself, they completely understood. They also readjusted a panel on the front of my car that had not been sitting flush for quite some time, securing it back into place at no extra charge. Thanh even sent me home with a few pricing options for new tires so I could compare them with other options and make an informed decision at my own pace -- again, with zero pressure. Most importantly, I could immediately feel the difference in how my car drives after the service. The brakes feel great, and the strange whooshing noise I had noticed is gone. I got the impression that Safe & Save Automotive is a small, family-owned business, and I'm happy to support a shop that genuinely values its customers through honest communication, fair pricing, and quality work. I highly recommend them and will definitely keep them in mind for future automotive needs! read more

Thanks to Save and Safe for keeping my car running strong for the last 7 years. I've been wanting to replace this 2004 MDX but the Truong brothers at Save and Safe have kept this SUV alive and well. read more

Good guys and good mechanics and fair prices. I trust them and wish I had found them sooner.

Been coming here for many years with three different cars and always have had a good experience. They are very knowledgeable and will treat you and your vehicle very well. Thanh at the front desk will take his time and explain exactly what they're doing with your vehicle, what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. I have recommended Safe and Save to friends and family and will not take my car anywhere else. read more

Through a college friend's recommendation, I gave this place a try. Since then, I've gone to them for everything. In the last year, I've had them replaced my rear brakes and rotor, change and install all 4 of my tires, patch a tire that had a nail in it, along with a synthetic oil change. Huy has done wonderful work for all of them. I've also built a nice rapport with Thanh, the front desk person. A few weeks back, when there was huge snow storm which cause many downed trees, ice felt on my car while I was driving and cracked my entire windshield. I gave Thanh a call, and even though they don't do glass repair, he gave me a price estimate on what windshield replacements usually cost, so I get the best deal when searching. Compared to the Kia dealership prices, I've saved greatly by going to these guys. read more

Honest, Reliable, Transparent, Fair Pricing! I've brought both of my vehicles to Safe and Save for various maintenance and repair work and they always do a great job. The pricing is very fair and they've never attempted to charge me for unnecessary repairs like so many other mechanics do. I love this place. I'd highly recommend their services. read more

Been going to these guys for many years. Always dependable, transparent with solid prices for repairs. Nothing's better than finding a great mechanic! read more

Friendly service and a great price for an oil change ($19.99) with no disposable fee. Brought in a Acura TL for an oil change. Free wifi. They are very knowledgeable on what needs to be fixed on the car. I was quoted for a brake change for $199.99 with new rotor and ceramic brake pads. I had the transmission fluid change for $69.99. Will be back when the car needs a tune up. read more

I had a very pleasant experience with these decent-seeming mechanics after a string of rather unpleasant experiences with other nearby, "well-regarded" sleazeball mechanics. They seem knowledgeable and friendly - explaining what is wrong with your car without being condescending and trying to make you feel like an asshole in doing so (as so many other mechanics seem to take zeal in doing), or like they're doing you a HUGE favor in working on your vehicle and stealing your money from you. Also, they keep their shop nice and tidy, rather than the shitshows I see with other garages in the vicinity. This indicates to me a well-organized and thought-out operation, rather than the chaotic situations all the others seem to be perpetually in. Lastly, they are reasonably priced and do quality work which they will stand behind, unlike some of the other local slime bags. read more

I drive a 2010 Mercedes Benz C300 and usually get it service at a local dealer by me. However, I was out of town and my check engine light came on. I was hesitant on driving home with the light on and wanted to make sure everything was fine. I brought it in to Safe & Save and they were very professional. They told me exactly what the problem was and what I needed to replace. One of the cylinder misfired and the coil came back bad on the report. They ordered OEM part and replaced it in a timely manner. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely come back again considering they are offering 10% off for their grand opening! THANK YOU! read more

Hit a mean pothole which broke my left axel, lower control arm and stabilizer bar. Had my car towed to Safe & Save Auto at 10 am. They were able to diagnose my problem, gave me a written estimate itemizing all replacement and labor costs. I felt the costs were fair, and they were very professional. My car was ready by 2pm the next day. Wow - great service. I assumed the car would be in the shop for 3 or 4 days. Thanks Safe & Save. I know who to turn to if I have car trouble again! read more

I found this place on yelp! They had the best reviews in the area. Came here for an oil change and was pleased.. even with the price. They didn't take too long and as a women I don't know much about cars so I heard some squeaky noise and the Machanic was nice enough to drive it around to figure out what was wrong. I asked for a couple of quotes and it was emailed to me the next business day! My 2nd visit was on a Saturday, I figured they would be business but I really needed a wheel alignment because I just got four tires... they had a couple of cars they were working on but took mine right away. I will continue to come to this place. It's right on 22 next to an auto glass place.. there's parking and seating inside. Nice professional quiet establishment that will get the job done for a reasonable price! read more

Saw the shop reviews on yelp and was shopping for new shocks for my rdx acura . 1 st call for a price and end up going to the shop . The shop was clean and neat and the employee Damian was pleasant to deal with . He quote a price and we stuck a deal for 720 dollars a little later he informed me that he miss Quote the price and which now was 960 . I had my father in law regular mechanic quote me approx the 1 st price Damian quote me so I end up canceling and take my car to my father in law mechanic in ny . I gave them three stars based that they seem very honest when it came to diagnosing your vehicle. To bad this time things didn't work out I will try to uses them again and will update according at that time read more

We take all three family cars here and the brothers at Safe & Save always do a great job from oil changes to brake replacements. One thing that stands out from other shops is their attention to detail and their willingness to explain what is going on beneath the exterior of your car. Had an issue recently where a brake pistol was stuck and wasn't firing correctly so my car made a rumbling noise every time I pressed on it. Safe & Save diagnosed it with a test drive and 10 minute examination. Explained the concept of rotors, calipers, and pistols to me before they gave a price estimate and proceeded to fix it. I was in and out in an hour and half. Just two honest brothers looking out for everyone on the road! read more

These guys are great! I always come here and every time they provide me with great customer service. I highly recommend everyone to come here for oil changes and rotations! Also they install hids and all kinds of other stuff read more

When I am in NJ there is only once place to go. From A/C, brakes, oil changes, tune-up, alignments. I wouldn't take my cars to any other repair shop. Staff here is friendly, Honest/Fair, knowledgeable and always treat you well. I am almost afraid to give them to good a review, in fear they may get too popular!!! read more

Used to be Great and honest, but this time! I was charged over $100. for a new gas cap! And he had called me saying I could pick up car and cost was just $12. for a gas cap, they were not going to charge for anything else, but that changed when I got there. I had check engine light come on, went to 2 places to get the codes. One was evap emission very small leak, told them that the gas station attendant had, just days before codes came on, dropped my gas cap on the ground, but I did not see any noticeable crack in it. Explained to them some issues car had been having pertaining to front left speed sensor code, but they completely ignored that, said was not presently throwing the code so they could do nothing to check it???? I asked if they did the smoke test to find evap emisson leak, but was told no, they just used computer that said gas cap was only problem. So mechanic cannot manually check anything? I could have brought a gas cap on my own for ~$20., but instead out over $100! I'd been going to this place for years and had even referred people to them. No MORE! read more

They're one of the best all around mechanics I've ever used. They know not only the mechanics of a car, but electronics as well. They're very flexible as far as scheduling repairs & oil changes as well. Great customer service & pros at automobile repair. Highly recommended! read more

Great auto shop with Friendly and honest mechanics. I took my car here for a full tune up and oil change here at a great price! This will be my go to place. read more

I've brought two different vehicles here for just oil changes about 3 months apart and both times the next day and two days later I had a flat tire. Take them to a different shop and they tell me the tire valves are not seated correctly. Very sneaky and dishonest shop. read more

I brought my Mazda 6 in for a clutch and flywheel install. Everything was done very professionally and my car drives like a dream now!

I brought my Car there for brakes and AC check. They fixed both within 2 hours. I have been going there for about 2 years. They are very honest and reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

The customer service here is great. Todd was very thorough about their service offerings. They are honest mechanics with very affordable pricing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a service to any new and older vehicles. read more

Honest, great price and advice that I actually needed. I called multiple other locations for an oil change and was immediately pitched multiple additional services including multi-point inspections I didn't want for ~$80. Having read the positive reviews on Yelp, I decided to call Safe & Save and got a great quote. After the work was done, they stuck to the quote and I was out of there very quickly. I rarely write Yelp reviews but in this case, this honest family-owned business deserves it. Will be back for any future car-work and will recommend to friends/family. read more

They are very professional and honest and they always do a great job. They give you an itemized bill and explain everything to you and their prices are very reasonable. The first time I took my car here I had a check engine light and my regular mechanic couldn't figure out what was wrong. So I took my car here instead, and the mechanic figured out that one of the parts probably shrank a little because of the cold weather and was giving a false check engine light, and he was right; when the weather was warm the light went away. The second time I came here, an oil change guy from another place said my brakes needed to be changed. I brought my car here and they said that actually I had a lot of brakes left and it didn't need to be changed and they test drove it to make sure. So, even though it is a bit far for me, I think it is worth coming here for the peace of mind that you are not going to be cheated. read more

I took my son's 2007 BMW to Safe and Save for spark plugs, ignition coil replacement and oil change.

This is a good find and I am sticking to them for all my auto repairs. read more

Friendly and professional people. Their attention to detail when simply changing my oil is amazing! They made sure their hands were spotless before touching my car double checked everything. Awesome place! read more
