Auto repair service near Bronx, NY

We have a 2011 Nissan that was acting funny. It wasnt shifting smoothly. We took it to a couple of local places but they told us that a dealer would be best because they had equipment to diagnose later model cars that were only available to dealers. I was really hesitant. We were new to the area and always stayed away from dealers because they usually charge more. We looked on line and found a local dealer, Baron Nissan, that had good reviews. None of those reviews were for service but what we could find said really good things about their sales department so we had the car towed there and crossed our fingers. We met Frank the service manager who was very nice. He asked what the car was doing and we told him/. We left it there overnight and he said he would call us the next day. He called about 11am on Friday and said the car was done. A little surpised that it was done so quickly I asked if they had found the problem. He said it was just a control module that had to be reset, no big deal. The way the other mechanics had made it sound we were braced for a huge repair bill. When we went to pick it up they told us that they had checked and our car was still under the Nissan powertrain warranty ( which we had no idea about) and the bill was nothing, no money at all. They told us they checked the car and we needed front brakes and an oil change ( which I knew). They gave me a fair price and we had them do the work. Frank didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need or want and they did the brakes and oil change while we waited. Has a chance to talk to Frank while we waited, he was just a nice guy who welcomed us to the neighborhood. We have bought a lot of cars in our life, definately not my first rodeo and I never,ever went back to a dealer for service as a rule they are too busy, pushy and over priced. I gotta say Frank at Baron Nissan is the exception. We are so glad we found them

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! ;)

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
