Finding a trustworthy mechanic is not an easy thing. The Stoms family, father Tony and Son Mike are the best. And I've been in this business before so I know a thing or two. They have moved up the road to 550 Bound Brook Rd They have been servicing our families cars for the last 5 years. Fair pricing, efficient diagnosis and quality work are what we always receive when we come to Stoms. We have taken our German cars, Cadillac, Lexus, Trucks and SUVs to Mike and Tony and always been happy with the work performed and the pricing. I see other negative reviews regarding issues with car shield and the amount of time it took. Having been in the business before I do know that aftermarket warranty companies can be difficult to work with and they do like to deny coverage whenever they can. Check out Stoms and see for yourself. Having a good mechanic you can trust is a necessity and I definitely recommend Stoms Auto. They do just accept everything except for tires and alignments. They do offer tire repair service just not tires. read more

Tony Stoms has proven himself to be negligent, deceptive, and fraudulent; here's why: Summary: I brought my car to Stoms Automotive on February 6th, 2023, due to my car stalling. He never fixed the initial issue. He broke and removed parts that were previously working. Then he told me the car was ready, he charged $1,452, all the while knowing my car was not fixed and actually worse off that when I brought it to him.  Details: After Stoms initially inspected my car on Feb 6th, he said the car needed a tune-up. He also said the car needed a bearing on one rear tire; and eventually, I would need the other rear bearing done later down the road. I decided to have both rear bearings done.  On February 7th, Stoms called and said the car was ready for pickup. The bill was $1452.30 for the tune-up and rear bearings. I paid. When I attempted to start the car, the car would not start. I went back in and told Stoms the car wouldn't start. Stoms then jump the battery. Then, when when I pulled away, I heard a loud rattling noise under the car. I immediately took the car back to Stoms. He said he would have to put it up on the lift and see what's going on. The next day, he told me the car was ready (again). I asked Stoms what the rattling noise was, but he would not tell me what it was, only that he fixed it. When I was driving the car out of the shop, I noticed the emergency brake flopping up and down. I then called Stoms and asked what happened to the emergency brake? He said to bring the car back and we will look at it. At this point, I no longer trusted that the car would be repaired correctly.  On February 8th, I brought the car to another mechanic. The mechanic informed me that the rear bearing was not done correctly (bolt not attached), and all the parts for my emergency brake were gone. After getting this information, I called Stoms and asked what happened to the emergency brake and the bearing? Stoms said "we were overwhelmed, had a bad day and we broke it (all the parts for my emergency brake were thrown away), give me the new mechanic's bill and I will pay for it." Stoms also stated that I don't really need an emergency brake. I recorded this call.  The new mechanic ordered the replacement parts. When the parts arrived, he replaced my emergency brake and the bearing.  Stoms not only failed to fix the issues with the car, but he caused more problems. Stoms was never going to tell me he removed parts from my car. It was only when I discovered the issue that he admitted his negligence. I depend on my car for my livelihood, and I also depend on my emergency brake to work on my steep driveway. Reliability and safety are all I am looking for with my car. Likewise, the original issue of stalling was not resolved at Stoms, and I ended up taking my car to Honest Auto, who fixed the stalling issue for $232.  I called Stoms several times, leaving voicemails regarding his promise to reimburse me for the additional charges that were incurred by the second mechanic. Stoms never returned my calls. I then emailed and mailed him the invoice showing the work was completed, that I paid the invoice in full, and requested reimbursement. Stoms did not reply to the request. Additionally, I indicated that if I did not receive the reimbursement, I would go to the next step of small claims court and additionally request to be reimbursed for his initial bill and my lost wages at work as well. I started this process back in March. Stoms did not show up for the court date, and I won the judgment by default. I took the next steps in the legal process to request information. However, Stoms did not reply to the legal request. Is this the first time I brought my car to Stoms? No, I brought my car to Stoms several times in the past. Stoms replaced my brakes, no problem. Stoms replaced one of my headlight bulbs, no problem. Stoms did an oil change on my car, no problem. I am not sure why I was treated differently this time. In the past, I believed Stoms was a trustworthy mechanic. He was my 'go-to' mechanic. Not anymore.  At this point, the only honorable thing Tony Stoms, as a pillar of the Middlesex community, could do is reimburse me for the damage he did to my car. read more

Excellent service. Tony is a nice guy. The work on your car can't be beat. He recently had a fire but he is temporarily operating out of a place on William Street in Piscataway. Good value. I wish more auto repair shops were as good. read more

We found Stoms after a bad experience at another auto repair facility. Now, this is the only place I take our cars to get work done. Tony and his staff are very good at what they do. He doesn't push things that aren't needed. Reasonable, reliable, stands by his work, and honest. I recommend them highly! read more

Stoms Automotive is most definitely the best place I've ever taken my car for repairs. Tony is honest and his prices are reasonable. Plus he's generally a nice person who makes you feel comfortable and ultimately confident that you're getting the best service possible. I highly recommend Stoms to anyone looking for a reliable & experienced mechanic. read more

Must have driven by this place a hundred times over the years. Stopped in because my brakes were making noise. The owner, Tony looked at my car personally. He could have easily sold me brakes but instead told me that because the car had been sitting for a while the rotors were just a little rusty and since I had more than half the life on my brake pads it was not necessary to change it at this time. The owner Tony not only knows what he's talking about but is very honest. Honest mechanic, what a great find. read more

I have been bringing my car to STS for years. Never had a major issue with them, but i always felt I was paying too much. Well this past weekend I noticed quit a bit of antifreeze on the ground and decided to try Stoms Auto as it is close to my job. I had made an appointment to drop my car off and was greeted by a mechanic with dirty hands and a dirty shirt...and a smile! He obviously loves what he does which is awesome! Anyway I dropped my car off. I got a phone call from Tony the owner around noon that my car needed a new radiator and a battery. Just as I thought. The part that's hard to believe for me, is that his "lower than everyone else" estimate didn't change! That never happens at a chain repair shop! I picked up my car when I was told it would be finished, there were no extra charges, and again as I listened to the owner and employees talk, I could tell that they just love what they do! When you love what you do, you take pride in your work! It was the first time I ever left a repair shop feeling like I wasn't ripped off or overcharged! This group of guys are great and I actually feel like I finally found a great, honest mechanic with fare prices! I will definitely bring my other vehicles here from now on! read more
