Wow this place is terrible. Let me explain: I had several brake rotors and pads replaced here in Dec 14. Soon after I noticed that the steering wheel would vibrate when I applied the brakes, but didnt think too much of it. By summer I could hear a scraping sound when I applied the brakes and thought that was a bigger issue. I took the car back in Oct 15 and they said they would need to change the rotors and brake pads again. I said no thanks, I would take it to the dealership. Heres where it gets crazy. I drove my car away from the shop, having left it there overnight, and the brakes became increasingly spongy. Within 10 minutes I could push the brakes to the floor and the car would only slow slightly. It was like that nightmare where your brakes stop working. I drove back immediately, going very slowly, with my hand on the e-brake, trying to use the brakes as little as possible. "Top Notch" said they needed to replace the brake fluid line, as it had rusted and the fluid leaked out. Not sure why they didnt notice this when they checked out the brakes, since they showed me where the leak later was and it was very obvious. Ok lets recap so far: I noticed a scraping sound when I applied the brakes so I took the car in. They told me the problem was the part they had themselves had replaced less then a year before. I said I would take the car elsewhere. However, when I left the shop, the brakes stopped working within 10 minutes. What?! Meanwhile, when I finally got the car to the dealership in Manhattan I was told that there were all kinds of other problems that they had missed, including extensive corrosion in multiple areas, a broken front axle, a broken O2 sensor, and more. They said the car was totaled. So I was about to pay "Top Notch" to repair the brakes on a totaled car. Top Notch! I will never go here again, and I suggest you do the same.

Horrible service.i bet some people writing these.reviews are fake or his people trying.to make it look good. Take it from me my whole.family used.to go there he always claimed it was.something else wrong with the cars. Inspection with this man cost us 100 each time he supposedly said it failed. Dont believe me see for yourself. He even said it himself he takes when he needs to. Months after i stopped going i work for a car part delivery center and had to deliver a car part to him this guy cheated a man and.fought and had cops come and stop it. Recently today he.scammed my neighbor now hes in court and his inspection machine is at jeopardy of being lost. So stop posting positive comments that are fake. Yeah i said it. There are.better.honest mechanics in brooklyn look em up

Amazing service and a very respectable shop. I have brought my Jeep Cherokee & Honda Odyssey here many times and every time, he has done a great job in doing what is necessary and NEVER overcharging me. Recently, the gearbox and chassis broke and my car was in shambles. After deciding it was better to sell for parts than repair, he was willing to help me find someone to buy it. I would recommend Top Notch Auto Repair to anyone looking to have work done on their car. They run a tight ship and will not screw you over. I imagine the other reviews are from people who simply do not take care of their cars to begin with and whenever another problem appears, they blame it on the shop. Thanks so much for everything Muhammad!!!

I was a tourist in Brooklyn and had a car problem. My daughter found this place on google with 4.5 stars. All I could do is hope that I could get the car fixed and be taken advantage of. Mohammed fixed my car and well within range of a price that my mechanic had said was what he would charge. This mechanic fixed the car of a customer he would likely never see again and did that repair at a very fair and reasonable price. This is the kind of business I would frequent if I lived here. On top of that, Im a Red Sox fan, and still he helped me.

They didnt bother alert us to the fact that our car was so rusted that it only had a few more months of life; instead, they charged us a lot for some poor quality rotors and brake pads that we wouldnt have spent money on if wed known the car was toast. Also, when we went, they only took cash because "the boss wasnt there"...what? This place is sketchy, and did poor quality work. Stay away.

A great example of a guy who doesnt take advantage of people. Ive come here several times, never felt cheated. Hes straight up about costs and time, clear about what things need to be repaired and how necessary the repairs are. Im about to trust him going over my car before a 4000+ mile drive - hows that for a vote of confidence?

Mohammed has been working on my 1991 manual transmission Honda for at least five years. It runs like a dream. Hes always prompt, kind, and reasonable. No one works harder. Hes the best! Ive moved to Staten Island but still wouldnt have anyone else work on my car. I feel like hes part of my extended family.

Ive been going to Top Notch for years. Muhammad is a great guy-- knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. Sometimes when I pass by I wave to him or even stop and say hello. I trust Mohammad; and to my mind, that is the ultimate compliment to an auto service place.

Mohammed has always been fair with me and done a good job fixing my car. 15 years Ive been going to him and Ive never felt cheated. Much cheaper than places in Manhattan where I live now. Thats why I always go back to him in Brooklyn to get my car serviced.

Ive taken my car here and will continue to do so as long as I have it. Mohammad is a great guy who is willing to work with his customers. He actually understands that happy customers means repeat business. I would recommend his shop to anyone.

This has to be the best auto shop in Brooklyn. The head mechanic/ owner Muhammad is the best and he will give you great work at a great price.
