I've never had to get my own car serviced and repaired before so I wanted to know that I was in good hands. I went on facebook and asked the harbor point group what people recommended for auto repair and the great reviews of scottys caught my eye. I called up scottys and they let me know they were booked for the next 2 days (it was the first) but they said to drop it off and that they would do their best to look at it beforehand. sure enough I got a call the next day with a breakdown of what needed to be done. They gave me an estimate which was HALF WHAT THE JEEP DEALER QUOTED US, plus it didnt include some of the nonsensical stuff they suggested to fix that scottys said did not need to be done. ultimately they were able to get everything done before we headed out for vacation. when I went to go pick it up, they had admitted there was a communication error and that it wasnt ready just yet and that it would be another hour or so. I mentioned that I had just took an uber and had a lot of other things to try to work on and to see if they could try to give me an accurate time estimate. the guy there (isaac i think) just handed me a set of keys and said heres a loaner ill call you! that alone made this a 6 star experience! talk about admitting to a mistake and making up for it with phenomenal service. anywho, i know where ill be getting my oil changed moving forward! thank you guys!

This is my first negative review on any business on yelp. So, here's my experience: My car wont…read morestart this past December and I got it towed to this nearby service shop. Spent a ton of time, energy and money to get the fuel pump replaced. Couple of days later, stopped at a gas station and noticed gas gushing out from the rear of the car. Took the car to the same shop next day and they won't troubleshoot the issue for me. Told me the fuel neck is probably rusty and just don't fill the tank to the top. Well, I never had any issues with the fuel neck/seal or filling gas prior to this fuel pump replacement job. A few days later my check engine light came on for the same reason as the fuel evaps leak detected. They didn't help me with any of these issues despite charging a hefty amount for fuel pump replacement. Zero customer service. I won't be back for any of my car service needs at this location and do not recommend this service shop to anyone.

A big ripoff. When I got the car back, I brought it down to my mechanic Chris to have a new radiator installed. He checked the repair work that was done by Shell gas station and he told me that the mechanic didn't install a new gasket with the thermostat. This is really basic stuff. My mechanic charges $50.00 dollars for the same repair. I was in a hurry and never should have come here. I read some of the other reviews and they seem to have no credibility. I personally would never recommend them to anyone. STAY AWAY!

I have been bringing my foreign and domestic cars to Joe and Mario D'Agostino's place for 30+ years…read moreand only have great things to say about them. As stated in another review Joe is extremely well-trained and skilled at diagnostics and auto repair. Although they are foremost BMW and Audi experts, they can easily handle any make/model. They love working on Italian cars, btw. Agree that they are a hidden gem for auto repair! They are very, very trustworthy; repair estimates and costs are always very fair, if not under the market. I love these guys and recommend them highly. We own 5 cars and they service all of them (Toyota, Honda (2), Fiat, Subaru...Volvo and Ford in the past). You will not be disappointed. I would give them 6 stars if it were possible!
