Chris ridge auto service… Buyer BEWARE! (This is a shorter edited copy) I recently spent $2282.00 on my 2003 Voyager van that, when they gave it back to me, did not start and then they wanted $900.00 more to get it running again.? On January 1st my engine light went on . I brought the van to Chris Ridge Service . Less than an hour later I got a call from their mechanic who said I need a leak detector pump , front brakes and radiator and rear shocks , cost would be $1498.00… I said . ? I went back to pick up the van I had a hard time starting it, and it overheated .I drove right back to them and they and said it was a vapor problem.? Then the next day ,van would not start. It was towed back to Chris Ridge Service who calls me and says the van needs a tune-up for 684.00 ... That day, they called said it’s all ready” . . IT WOULD NOT START..?A mechanic had to come out and start it for me...He told me I now have to pump the gas to start it, it started and white smoke was blowing out .I said to him “is this is right”...he told me to drive it and see what happens. ?After couple days of getting stuck with the van because it would not start I called back Chris Ridge Service and their mechanic said he the problem is the Catalytic Converter and muffler is stuffed . I asked how much more and he said $900 extra. ? At this point I've had it. I picked up the van.?I went to other mechanics for help . Their advise was to junk the van..?One of the members of my band has a 1980 Toyota with over 400,000 miles...Ugly car but it runs like a clock. His mechanics is Tommy (Tom's Automotive Specialists Inc) I managed to get the van up there and get everything fixed very easily. While my van was running great, I drove the van to Chris Ridge Service to show them that is how it was running to prove their diagnosis was not the problem. The owner Chris was very sarcastic as to what Tommy said the problem was and wanted to see his receipt of the work done...I could only think they wanted to learn what they didn’t do right. Conclusion… Chris Ridge Service is not qualified to be fixing cars, it’s a gas station. Their skills are amateur and dishonest . I want to warn anyone who needs auto repair to avoid Chris Ridge Service on park ave. in Rutherford NJ. and Find another mechanic.
