Auto inspection service near Basking Ridge, NJ

Brought my car in for service, it was in the shop for two days to replace front struts and some other work. When I drove the car home, I noticed the wheel alignment was off. The alignment wasn't included in the final estimate. I called the shop and they said I could come back in first thing in the morning. Went back the next day and they put the car right up on the lift, did the wheel alignment, and didn't charge me! I was ok with paying for it, and was just happy they took me right in with no wait. But they insisted no charge Refreshing to find a business that is honest and customer-centric. I'm telling all my friends and neighbors Tony C Piscataway Township, NJ

A year ago, I was in an accident and called Livingston Collision to tow it for me. They not only assisted with the tow, but they also helped me through the entire insurance negotiation. They were able to negotiate with my insurance adjuster and ultimately helped in proving the car was totaled and making sure I got back the fair market value for the car. Brad, Val, and Allie were my advocates from start to finish and I'd highly recommend their shop to anyone. They've been in business for over 50 years, so it's obvious they take their reputation seriously. Quality body work (I've gotten previous body work done here and have always been impressed with the attention to detail) and exceptional customer service are what you'll get at this shop, no question.

STAY AWAY. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE unless you want poor quality. I paid for an oil change and they didn't put the oil cap back on afterwards. My car made rattling sounds and smelled of fumes and knowing they were the last to touch my car I lifted the hood and the oil fill cap was bouncing around rather than screwed back into place. Oil was everywhere under my hood. I went back to inform them, they checked the oil level, didn't offer to clean up any of the oil, and made no apologies. I gave them another chance and asked for a quote to replace front tires and brake pads. They wrote my info down and three weeks later I still haven't heard from them. They seem like nice people, just incompetent and clueless about simple sensible customer service. They get an F from me. I don't recommend them for any type of car service.

I moved into the area recently and am looking for a local shop whom I can trust and not worry about being taken for a "ride", I am happy to say that I found one in Carracino's. Family owned/operated business, very friendly people makes you feel at home, they don't try to push stuff on you will give the recommended work, good pricing, will drop and pick you up if you live close by which I think is really nice of them. They are very knowledgeable of the work they do. totally recommend them.
