I dropped my wife off to get 'her' car after the work was done and within seconds of driving it away from the station the car started bucking like crazy. She went back and the mechanic refused to test drive it. The owner was called in and said it wasn't their fault! He got nasty, saying I needed a shrink!? The car was no longer drivable. Suddenly I needed a new or rebuilt transmission. I had to get rid of it. I've never left a bad review for any business, but after denying culpability and losing thousands of dollars for a temporary rental and needing to go get another car, well, there it is. I plan on taking them to small claims court. DON'T TRUST THESE GUYS.

Devin is the owner and right now he's working alone since he had to lay off all his employees. He's lost 95% of his business due to the coronavirus. I've always felt Devin was an honest man, very important in auto repair. There were several times he could have made an unnecessary repair but didn't. He also has free air for cars and bikes at the side of his shop. Anyway, I got my oil changed and some brake work done while he was at it. The brake work could have held off but I thought I'd help him out over these trying times. His honesty was once again evident when I asked him to check the battery because it failed this week and I had to get a jump due to inactivity, I had the battery a good while. He said it held a charge fine, no need. The guy stays honest even though he's trying hard to keep his business open. So, if you have an inspection coming up or nearing an oil change maybe you can get the latter done early to help him out. He's Long Beach local so it would help us all to keep him going if we can. If you feel you can use his service his number is 516 432 6581 or 516 432 6587. Can get work done quickly now, of course, no waiting. Be well, Lee

It can feel like you're back in kindergarten sometimes, walking into new places with new people where you don't really know where to start - 'hello, I'm new here, can you help me?' It can be intimidating as a newcomer to a neighborhood when you're trying to set up all your new connections. You're not sure where to go, who to trust, or whether it will be worth spending your hard earned money somewhere. I am a first time car owner, and needed to set up a mechanic - starting with my NY State inspection. I'll make this very clear - I know nothing, absolutely nothing about cars or inspections and I had no idea what to expect. So, naturally, when I saw five star review after five star review for Ralph and his team, I knew this place had to at least be a good place to start. Ralph is just as affable, warm, and down to earth as his reviews describe. While I was waiting for my inspection to finish, a regular customer came in. He wasn't quite sure about something on his statement, and I overheard Ralph helping him break down his 'balance owed' with the patience and kindness that only a seasoned professional (or parent) could display. Howie went to fetch my car in the freezing cold - even though I'd parked it a little ways away because I couldn't figure out the street parking - and had me on my way in fifteen minutes. You're a champ, Howie, sorry about the walk! I always always try to buy local, and support local business owners. They are the fabric that make up our communities, and to be quite honest, it's just nicer to deal with someone who talks to you like a human, rather than just another customer in a multi million dollar corporation. These guys are a shining example of what it is to be a really great local business in a bustling community. I will be delighted to return to this shop. Thank you Ralph and team.

The part cost $20-30(Crankshaft position sensor) and was a 5 minute job when I did it today. 1 Bolt, two clips, right on the front of the engine, easily accessible. I will never recommend this place. They also told my sister that the brake dust on her rims was from rusted brakes and that they were a safety hazard. LIE.

They provide special $7 exterior only car washes everyday 8am-10am, and 5pm to close ("close" is…read moresubjective I guess. I'm not sure what time their usual closing is). Anyways, they also sell discounted gift cards if you want. (See pictures). E.g. If you purchase $150 gift card, you get $50 bonus. (Aka $200 gift card for 25% off). You can purchase small values, you just get a smaller discount. The $7 exterior only car washes work out to about $5.25 per car wash... they have workers wiping your vehicle dry after the machine wash and they are efficient. The car washes do the job for me (as I apply my own quick spray wax after I get home). Best value in town. The boss and their staff are friendly enough and they sell a bunch of other items in their store if you need them. Can't complain for such great value and convenience!
