Auto repair service near Mine Hill, NJ

BUYER BEWARE, WORST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! and this would be my 7th car. They are very deceptive, make sure what ever comes out of their mouths ends up on paper!! I had the unfortunate experience of purchasing my death trap of a vehicle from Baladi. At the time of purchase I was told that the agreed upon cash price would include sales tax and a 1 year warranty, was given the brochure for the warranty company and told to expect something in the mail in the next two weeks. However, in the midst of sealing the deal my child threw a major tantrum so I handed over the cash and left my partner to sign off on everything. They made sure not to show a breakdown on the receipt of the sales tax being included in the price, refused to re-write it and on the title itself wrote 0 for taxes. As if that was not enough, right after I pulled out the lot and made a right turn my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I immediately went back and was given some lame excuse but was also told not to worry because I had the extended warranty. After driving for a little while the car would jerk, slow down and it would feel like something fell out from under the car but it would then recover and drive like normal. I took the car to my mechanic who told me there was a problem with the ABS system (the car randomly brakes on its own – EXTREMELY DANGEROUS). After waiting for two weeks to hear from the warranty company so I could take the vehicle in for repair I called Baladi and the sales guy claimed they never made such promise and of course all they did was give me the brochure and not put that in writing either. They took complete advantage of me being pulled away to calm my child and reneged on the major points of why I chose to make the purchase (the agreed upon price INCLUDING sales tax and the extended warranty) instead of going back to a previous dealer who had the same exact car minus the color of the interior leather for a couple hundred dollars cheaper but did not i

I moved to NJ after living in WI for 34 years leaving behind my go-to mechanic (since I was legal on the road) that I could trust with any car/truck problem. It took about 3+ years to find a guy like John and the group of guys that I can trust at Car Kings. It's convenient that I work in Clifton so he is a few minutes away. I have been there about a 1/2 dozen times and he always finds a way to sneak me in. Work always get's done in a timely and professional manner. Just watch out for Teddy the office dog! ;)

What an outstanding, ideal, model mechanic and business! After much research and speaking with several mechanics and repair techs, I found Walko Automotive to be the best solution to my bad hybrid battery. Walko Automotive helped replace my 2007 Toyota Prius battery in less than 2 hrs for THE MOST reasonable price. They offered a two year warranty and with their already outstanding business history, Master Tech certifications with hybrid vehicles (and any vehicle really), and a positive, family-oriented atmosphere, they were sure to deliver in every way you would expect the best and most trustworthy mechanic should. Thanks to Andy, Kyle, Diana and the rest of your team involved in helping solve this issue. You all have my business for life! :D :D :D -Julian Jenkins
