Engine repair service near Lyndhurst, NJ

Clearly, these people are doing a variety of work outside mechanical work. The shop is closed most of the times I walked by. Nick’s partner son took a “side job” of refinishing a beautiful, but with a scratch, Georgian style antique dining table. The job did not measure up to my expectations! The table came back in the wrong color (much darker than the original, somewhat purple) with scratches. When I canceled payment, and asked for rework, the son filed a lawsuit in the civil court and filed a criminal complaint. What a way to do business! I won in criminal court, but in small claims court, helped by Nick and cousin witnesses, he convinced the court I had actually accepted that “ridiculous” color and the multiple scratches. Now, after losing $540 plus shipping cost, I have to send the table to a capable professional to do the job right! A total waste of money and time! On the scales of 1-10 for quality and customer experience, my rating for this shop is 1. If you need to deal with Nick’s Machine do background checks, put everything in writing and monitor each step of the way. For bigger projects, get a lawyer.

AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEIR HEAD MECHANIC, WE HAD OUR ROLLS ROYCE DELIVERED TO CARRIAGE HOUSE ON APRIL 4, 2013. HE INFORMED US HE WAS AN “EXPERT” AND THAT OUR MECHANICAL ISSUE (THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING) WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. HE WANTED $1,000 UP FRONT FOR A “DIAGNOSIS”. WE GAVE HIM THE MONEY. IN MID-MAY HE SAID HE NEEDED MORE TIME AND MONEY. WHEN WE WERE HESITANT, HE TOLD US THAT THE DIAGNOSIS HAD NOW BECOME A MATTER OF “PRIDE” TO HIM AND THAT HE WOULD NOT CHARGE US ANYMORE MONEY. HE WENT SO FAR AS TO TELL US THAT HE HAD A GROUP OF HIS MECHANICS WORKING ON THEIR “OWN TIME” TO ASSIST HIM IN FINDING OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE HELD THE CAR UNTIL JULY 9, 2013 AND WHEN WE ARRIVED TO PICK UP THE CAR (ANOTHER FLAT BED RIDE!), WE HAD TO SIGN A RELEASE. TO THIS DAY HE STILL HAS NOT GIVEN US A DIAGNOSIS AS TO WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, WE SHOULD NOTE THAT WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, IT HAD BEEN FRESHLY WASHED. WE SENT THE CAR TO PATRICK’S IN SIMSBURY, CT. AFTER TWO DAYS IN HIS SHOP, OUR CAR WAS REPAIRED AND IN FANTASTIC WORKING ORDER. IN THE FUTURE, IF WE WANT THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE CAR WASH, WE WILL SEND OUR CAR TO CARRIAGE HOUSE.
