Service stations service near Montvale, NJ

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.

I pulled in for a NY state auto inspection around 5:30 pm. Despite looking very busy I was accommodated in a few minutes They provided the inspection quickly and efficiently. Everyone was very courteous, the task was finished then I was on my way. I would recommend this shop to anyone and will return when I be require service or repair in the future.

This is the place to go for your rover works, when no one can figure it out they will, not only is the work done right it will last.

The first-time visit on a Saturday and they treated me like a long-time customer. Very professional and they all know what they are doing. Fair pricing and fast service. A rarity especially in Hunts Point. My mechanic retired after 25 years with him and I've been looking for a place I can trust to take my car for anything I may need. I hope I found the place. I will definitely be seeing them again. Thanks to the owner Fred and the team. They do great work. Kenny R. Bronx, NY

My brand new Lincoln had just been driven over a small landslide caused by heavy rains. I had two flat tires and a ruined front wheel and was 300 miles from home. AAA sent Armonk Garage to help me and I was very pleased with the service. The truck arrived on time, picked up the car, my wife and I and then found the nearest Lincoln dealer. Although the dealer was some distance away the driver took us there, unloaded the car interfaced with the service people and did not charge us. He was helpful, courteous, and sympathetic. He made a bad situation much better. Thanks.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE IF YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR MONEY, THEY ARE THE RUDEST BEINGS I EVER DEALT WITH, OVERCHARGED ME ON A SIMPLE JOB, ESTIMATE WENT FROM 100 TO OVER 40O$, I ONLY WENT THERE BECAUSE MY REGULAR MECHANIC IN PASSAIC WAS FAR AWAY BUT WOULD HAVE COST ME MUCH LESS TO TOW CAR IF I BROKE DOWN AND STILL SAVE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED BUCKS, SIMPLE STARTER PROBLEM ON A MINIVAN ETC ETC.... ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ADDITIONAL MONEY BECAUSE I DID NOT TELL THEM I WAS PAYING BY CREDIT, WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS, MOST CONSUMERS PAY BY CREDIT, THIS IS NORMAL US BUSINESS.... BUT THEY DONT KNOW THAT, THEY WANT TO AVOID SHOWING INCOME I GUESS, PAYING TAX IS SOMETHING PLACES LIKE THESE AVOID BUT THEY DO KNOW HOW TO RIP YOU OFF ( STEAL FROM YOU) ANYWAYS, BEWARE.....
