I am usually very tentative about recommending mechanics but this shop is the real deal. A needle in a haystack. A seriously honest mechanic.

It used to be great when it Was Busted Knuckle and before that, Chrome Dome. Now it's Ocean Auto…read moreand Ocean Auto is not so good. We had an oil change on a Mini Cooper on Aug 25 and on the 29th, the Check Engine light came on. I looked at the dipstick and it was on minimum. When I returned to Ocean Auto, I was told that the Mini had a "closed system" which meant it didn't have a dipstick making it difficult to guess how much oil to put in. I said the way I knew it was on minimum was I checked the dipstick. I was then told not to return. "We don't work on foreign cars." The mechanic, who was nice, did add 1/2 quart, but the dipstick is still showing a quart low when I got home. Since we have a Subaru and a Mini (both "foreign cars"), we'll be finding another auto shop.

I had gone to another repair shop the previous week and left there terrified my car was about to fall apart. I pulled in to youngs river and they took a look at the issue and assured me I was in no danger of a catastrophe any time soon. The next week my check engine light came on and they were able to squeeze me in to see what the issue was. While my care will need some work and further investigation to find the issue I feel confident they will be able to find and fix the problem. Josh is amazing. He is kind, caring and does not talk down to me just because I am an old lady. His wife is also very friendly and kind. While waiting for my car the second time an older couple came in to pick up their car. They were preparing for a road trip and when Josh assured them all issues were fixed and they would have no problems they were so relieved and appreciative that they also had found this repair shop. While my little car will still need more work I feel like I can relax and not worry about being taken advantage of or told I need repairs I dont need. This is a HUGE relief, especially on a fixed income. I would highly reccoment Youngs river auto to anyone who, like me, is always skeptical and not sure who to trust. These people are awesome!
