Engine repair service near Englewood, NJ

We have a 2011 Nissan that was acting funny. It wasnt shifting smoothly. We took it to a couple of local places but they told us that a dealer would be best because they had equipment to diagnose later model cars that were only available to dealers. I was really hesitant. We were new to the area and always stayed away from dealers because they usually charge more. We looked on line and found a local dealer, Baron Nissan, that had good reviews. None of those reviews were for service but what we could find said really good things about their sales department so we had the car towed there and crossed our fingers. We met Frank the service manager who was very nice. He asked what the car was doing and we told him/. We left it there overnight and he said he would call us the next day. He called about 11am on Friday and said the car was done. A little surpised that it was done so quickly I asked if they had found the problem. He said it was just a control module that had to be reset, no big deal. The way the other mechanics had made it sound we were braced for a huge repair bill. When we went to pick it up they told us that they had checked and our car was still under the Nissan powertrain warranty ( which we had no idea about) and the bill was nothing, no money at all. They told us they checked the car and we needed front brakes and an oil change ( which I knew). They gave me a fair price and we had them do the work. Frank didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need or want and they did the brakes and oil change while we waited. Has a chance to talk to Frank while we waited, he was just a nice guy who welcomed us to the neighborhood. We have bought a lot of cars in our life, definately not my first rodeo and I never,ever went back to a dealer for service as a rule they are too busy, pushy and over priced. I gotta say Frank at Baron Nissan is the exception. We are so glad we found them

Not worth the trouble. On a recommendation from our local parts store, we sent a cylinder head out as it had a slight misfire at idle. On removal and saw the seat was partially sticking out from the head. On the recommendation from Frank at the machine shop he replaced all the exhaust seat , not just the one in question.On installation after six hours worth of labor, gaskets, oil and anti freeze,, on start up the number four cylinder now misfires all the time with heavy oil consumption. After doing a leak down test,compression test and running our findings by a paid diagnostic venue,we came to the conclusion that it had a head issue that we never had before. We sent to head back down to Frank and was supposedly thoroughly check to find it there was no issue with his job so we put the head back on the car. Obviously it was the same issue , heavy oil consumption and missing number four cylinder. We double and triple checked our work along with a call to our automotive diagnostic hotline to come to the same conclusion that it was a head issue. We bought a brand new head from Mini and the problem is cured. At this point right now we are asking for just our money back , as we will eat the 16 hours in labor and parts... with no response from this company . Poor workmanship and poor customer Service !

They are amazing mechanics. I don't think anyone can ever match their experience. They hear one awkward sound from my car and they automatically know what is wrong with it without even opening it yet. And it's all done at reasonable price as well. Ask for Albert. He's the best.

L & J Motors is the only auto repair shop in Jersey that has worked on my Bimmer since bringing it over from California. I'm very picky in regards to who works on my cars, but I find this place--like another reviewer--to be reliable and honest in their services. After my experience here, I would certainly recommend this auto repair shop to other European vehicle owners.
