Took my car here in the summer because my air conditioner wasn't blowing cold air. They said I needed a recharge and my system was dirty. I said my vehicle uses a special coolent are you sure you have the correct coolent. They said of course come back in an hour. I came back an hour later and they said all done. The ac appeared to be blowing cold so I thought OK great. I asked for a receipt and they said the receipt machine was broken to come back tomorrow. I didn't think much of it. It wasn't an expensive service. A few weeks later the ac stopped working again. I figured this must be a deeper problem so I brought it to the dealer service location where I have a family member as a master ford mechanic. After hooking it up to their machine every warning light about dangerous incorrect and flammible coolent was installed. This required an entire purge of my entire ac system and now being inspected for damage. Had I not a had a family member working for the dealership this would have voided my extended warranty and cost me 1000s. I feel so disgusted that they would be so dishonest about having the correct coolent and then going ahead and using it when it could have been 1. Dangerous 2.totally damaging to the vehicle. I try to give business to local mechanics for things like oil changes and small things that can be done quick where as at a dealership they may need to keep your car all day or several days but stay away from here. They will throw whatever they have at your car to make a buck.

Had a great experience here with Ralph. I brought in an old car with a broken air conditioner compressor, and he cleaned the engine and diagnosed the issue, then ordered the parts and made the fix within a few days. A month later and everything is working great. He was friendly and I felt he charged fairly for his services, and he made me feel very reassured about the car.

Went here to get a State Inspection and Oil Change. I have legal aftermarket tints on my car (they meet state requirements). Ralph did the inspection questionably fast and started scratching off my previous inspection sticker without notice. I wanted to take care of the sticker myself and had planned on asking him. He butchered the tint on my front windshield. He left a ton of residue with scratch marks and pieces of the tint were hanging off the window (pic attached). Then he slapped the inspection sticker on top of the mess he made. I was calm and only said: "I was going to ask you not to do that". He replied: "Too bad". He couldn't have cared less and had a strange air of entitlement about it. What a Jerk! Then he told me to call in about getting an oil change on another day.... Not sure why he treated me like garbage. I'll be sure to think of him everything I sit in my car and see the disaster he made. Beware if you have tints!

I’ve been going here for years with my old Subaru and my new car. The service is always excellent. I Just had my state inspection and It was quick and easy. There is always plenty of good advice that comes along with the service.

My inspection sticker was expiring in one day, so I called and they said bring it right in. Drove over, pulled up, and they did it in the time it took me to go across the street to get cash from an ATM. 👍🏽

Had an accident while in Brooklyn (primary residence is upstate) and I was glad we found them: Jason was there with his tow truck in 15 minutes, and after numerous supply issues the car was repaired in time for me to be home for Christmas. During the whole process, Rafi kept me informed of the process and was exceedingly kind while dealing with this grumpy old man. Best auto repair experience I've ever had. Very highly recommended.
