I have taken my VW diesel (you dont diesels to just anyone) to Chariot Auto since the dealer warranty expired a number of yeas ago. Ricky has done minor maintenance work like oil change to changing my timing belt, a major undertaking and something I would only put in the hands of a trusted and talented mechanic. To give an idea of the type of service Chariot provides: On one occasion, Ricky saw that a mud flap was missing from my car, saw it in my trunk and reinstalled it for me without being asked; and on another, I went to pick up my car and noticed it had been washed. In response to me thanking him he said he had some time after finishing my car so he washed it for me. Ricky is my go to mechanic and an asset to the community. Ricky is reasonably priced, thorough, has never recommended unnecessary work and has a quick turnaround. I just hope he doesnt get too busy to take my car after the masses catch on.

These guys saved my day at the spur of the moment! If it werent for them, I would have had to drive down the parkway for an hour in hopes of gorilla tape keeping my trunk closed. Even if there was a mere second of lost hope, they persevered and kept at it, not feeling satisfied until it was fixed. It didnt take long either; I was in and out of there in no time! As for the price, I think they deserved more than what they charged me, so hopefully they got some extra lunch. They saved me the hassle of having to buy and wait for a new part which, in turn, relieved me of a rental car bill. All in all, they will not scam you and they know what they are doing, figuring out ways to properly fix your car without the annoyance of the unnecessary. Honest, hard-working, down-to-earth, accommodating, convenient, and valuable= Chariot Auto Repair

I took my Lexus SUV to Chariot Auto Repair for an oil change and a brake job. I had just stopped by the dealer to get a quote and on my way home I noticed Chariot right away the corner from my new place, so I decided to stop in. The gentleman I spoke to was Ricky, who was very helpful, and he provided me an estimate that was well below the dealers quote. Also, the dealer mentioned a few other parts I would need soon, so I asked Ricky to check out the list the dealer provided me with, and I am glad I did, as most of the items were actually fine and had at least a few more good years left in them. I will continue to go to Chariot, as I feel its a honest place to get my car worked on, and that can be hard to find sometimes.

Ricky is a honest mechanic... one that you find far and few these days. He diagnosed my daughters VW beetle which would not start and honestly said it is a sensitive electrical issue which should taken up with VW. To my surprise Ricky did not charge for the diagnostic evaluation just stating "I feel bad that he could not fix the problem, so will not charge you for my time and effort." My daughter definitely be bringing in her VW for general car maintenance going forward ...... Only negative issue but again its no big deal is that your calls and inquires are answered by Rickys personal mobile phone icky gets right back to you! Not a deal breaker..... Good person to work with... SN

My car had a heat stroke and started spewing smoke from under the hood, and was also leaking coolant fast. Luckily, this happened while driving in downtown Jersey City (and not on the Turnpike at 5:00 pm!) I called up Ricky at the shop to give him the lowdown on the situation. He told me to bring the car over right now (though he sounded a little bit busy.) When I got to his shop, he had a couple of other cars in the garage being serviced, but he gave mine top priority. In just under 3 hours, hed replaced/reinstalled the radiator with a new one, fixed a damaged hose, run an electronic diagnosis, topped off the engine coolant, all well-below the initially quoted price!

We could not recommend Chariot more highly! Ricky is the ultimate professional in providing a positive customer experience. We had our headlights changed in a matter of a few hours from the time we first visited for a quote to the time the job was complete (didnt even need to wait for parts to arrive). The end-to-end experience was seamless and easy and came at an amazing price/value and also at unmatched convenience. Ricky even re-parked our car on the street so all I had to do was pick up the keys. We are pleased to have this business in our neighborhood.

Honest mechanics DO exist and the guys at Chariot Auto are definitely some of them. Im from Columbus, Ohio and was stranded in Jersey because my car wouldnt start. Long story short, I was able to get it to Chariot Auto where they quickly assessed my vehicle, fixed the issue, charged me a very reasonable price, and sent me on my way. Great service, highly recommend.

I went here because of the positive reviews I read here. They couldnt have been more spot on. Im glad to have found my mechanic for as long as I live in the area. Some people dont have to try and be trustworthy and dependable, they just are. Ricky is one of those people. I couldnt more highly recommend him to anybody

I called Ricky about oil change price, he said $16.99, when the job is finally done after 30 minutes delay, and I was going to pay him, he said the oil change cost is $69.99. I was shocked and refused to accept the price, eventually we settled at $30, which is not bad, but the whole experience is not that great.

Ricky is great! From a simple oil change to checking over my car before a long trip, he has always taken the time to listen to me and make me feel comfortable. He wont just recommend a bunch of expensive maintenance if your car doesnt need it. Overall, a very personal and professional experience.

If you want high quality service from a small shop that can trust, then Chariot Auto is for you. The owner, Ricky is a pleasure to deal with. He is honest and you just really feel comfortable leaving your car with him. I recommend Ricky and Chariot Auto to everyone I know in Jersey City.

Ricky is a good guy. He replaced the timing belt on my Honda Accord, and while the time frame I was told was not really honored, I still have to give him 5 stars due to his excellent judgment and fair price. Hes a straight shooter and I highly recommend him.

Nick Miller

This place is great, I highly recommend it. Ricky was incredibly professional and accommodating. The whole staff went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right and that we were satisfied. I would recommend him to anyone.

I cant recommend Ricky more highly. Hes completely upfront, prompt, honest and reliable. Works hard. I live down the block, and he tries hard to accommodate people. Really glad to have this place in the neighborhood.
