I agree with the last review...These guys are a bunch of crooks. I think they may have changed ownership or management as I used to take my car here for inspection. I took my car in yesterday and did not recognize any of the people working there. They took my car in, immediately put it on the lift and said my differential was leaking and that I needed new brake pads and rotors. Well first of all, I just had the brakes done 2 months ago, so I knew he was full of it. Then he showed me where there was some moistness by the axle. Could have been grease etc...But he said that he would not pass me on test based on the above things. Not for nothing, I know a bit about cars, but even if differential was leaking a bit, that is no reason to fail a car for inspection. Moreover, the whole thing with the brakes was a criminal. Does the State of New York ever check on these inspection stations? At the end of the so called "inspection", he told me to get an estimate and bring back to his shop and he would do the job cheaper...What a bunch of scammers. I will never go back here.

Basically straight crooks. I pulled in for an inspection. They put my car up on the lift and five minutes later told me I needed $1200 in repairs before Id pass inspection. I had them print their estimate up and took it to another station (Auto Care East). My car passed inspection there with NO work. The reputable station couldnt even read the print out - it indicated I needed over $500 in parts. Especially if youre naive avoid this place - they made a big show of bringing me under the car and showing me who knows what - all fake. Bring your car to Anthony Zacharias at Auto Care East a few blocks away instead (243 East 94th). I discovered them the same day - they are honest and l felt I could trust them within the first few minutes and Ive never felt that way in Manhattan before - (I usually get my car serviced in Vermont and I live on 90th Street)!

DO NOT GO HERE. As the other two reviews say, THEY ARE CROOKS. Same exact experience here in taking my car in for an inspection. They put it up on the lift and gave me some BS about the entire rack and pinion steering mechanism being shot and leaking and also needing to replace right and left tie rods. About $2,000 worth of work. The same number as the woman reports. I guess that is there go to number. After I said no, it went to $1,500. To add insult to injury, as I was walking out, they gave me a lecture on how they are concerned with my safety. Good grief. Subsequently, I took it to my car dealing and he told me that in his 20+ years he has never had to replace anything like that on this model car. It was fine and they did not recommend any work. Does NYS DMV inspections inspect these shops?

Engine trouble at 4pm. Called them and they said they could look at the car but not work on it because they were closing soon. The gentleman who assisted me not only looked at the car but, upon seeing I had toddler twins in the car, proceeded to go ahead and fix my car regardless of the time!!!

i had my tires rotated there today and although i often get gas at the station attached to the shop, i was able to see the mechanics work on the car. they explained every step of the process and did a great job. very friendly and patient people!
