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

Been doing business with Charlie for many years now and would not take my vehicles anywhere else. If you got a time problem, Charlie will try to fit you in, and when the job is done, you know it is done right. You can rest assured you will not get messed with someone changing parts. Prices are good too. He does everything on myt P/U truck and my Hybrid.

i went for subwoofer and amp installation ... first they told me they will charge 69.99 + tax and when they analyze my car they made a total of 148. i asked them and they said you car needs adapter .., need more wiring etc .. alrite as i already buy the sub and amp i need to installl it ....then i was ready to pay for it as i have no other choice ... alrite now they hooked up everything and told me stereo is not working ..i said how it is possible .... when i dropped the car it was working before .... they told me radio is not working ... i fight with them ...i said you guys made my stereo is damage as it was working before... i talked to manager ... and he was even more horrible .. he was always in favor of mehanic he was not even listening to me.... and i said you know what i dont want the system and you take it.... they were ready to take it ... but still charging for the labor they spent on working which was 148 .... i got really boiled i saild if its not working why should i have to pay for it...... they said you have to pay for it otherwise i will call cop..... i was sooo boiled up and i paid for the labor .... while going out the mehcanic came to me and said ill fixed for you....... i said how..... he went back and turned my radio back on...... the all story came to here that they purposefully turn the sound off .. so i can buy a new stereo which i have to pay extra for it ......i am sure everything was done my manager... he told mechanic to make the stereo off so he can sell his stereo too........ THIS IS THE WORST PLACE NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PLACE

NEVER AGAIN - GO ELSEWHERE. 1st- Tried charging me $2500 over price on the windshield for * Lot Storage and Licensing fees*. 2nd- Needed tires - salesman (Danny) said.. it passed NJ inspection, he was not replacing them but take 500$ off the total price. I thought that was fair.. until FIRST oil change @ 4k Miles. Tried to get new tires and alignment , and shop had to do 900$ in suspension work to fix front suspension just to align it. THIS WAS ON THE FIRST OIL CHANGE!! 3rd- Not to mention the cheapest tires i could find were 200$ each- even online. This dealership is a trap. Go somewhere else. This review shows publicly- hit me up if u have any questions.. I would be happy to show you the repair bills.
