Tune up service near Congers, NY

I purchased a used 2005 Cadillac Deville on Friday, November 23. The vehicle broke down and died by 10:00 p.m. Saturday evening when my wife attempted to use it for work. The battery was dead and required replacement on Sunday, November 25. The cost for replacement was $175. The battery inserted and sold with the car was not the correct one, and was much too small for this vehicle according to the auto parts store. This explains why the car needed to be jumped several times before we test road it at the dealership. I was told it wouldn’t start immediately because it had been sitting for an extended period of time. That was not the issue or case at all. The car’s original battery had been removed and placed with a smaller inferior one. Despite repeated calls and e-mails to our salesman and the sales manager who handled all the paperwork to rectify the situation, it still hasn’t been addressed. I was told it would be handled within 24 hours once the service manager was contacted and questioned. The dealership won’t return any further calls or messages. The sales manager Vinny refused to come to the phone to further discuss the problem and had one of his salesmen tell me there was they nothing they could do and he was too busy. The second issue is false advertising on the same vehicle. It wasn’t until we discovered smoke and burning runoff on the engine that we were told that the engine had been replaced, and the original was blown upon receiving the vehicle. This was not mentioned or indicated in the car dealership's ad. We decided to take the chance on the replacement engine when the sales manager agreed to give us a 1-year warranty on the replaced engine. He would not, however, disclose how many miles this replacement engine had. A simple $175 check for the replaced battery would have made me a happy customer. I completely understand there's going to be problems when buying a used vehicle as is, but to have the car die 24 hours later is completely unacceptable.

I have been using Parkway for over 5 years, and have found them to be the most honest and reliable service center that I have ever used. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that Ronnie and his crew always take great care of my car and if there is a problem they will do a great job fixing it and at a fair price. I have recommended Parkway to 5 people at my job and they have all been very extremely happy with the way they have serviced.their vehicles. I highly recommend Parkway! Mitchell K.

I was very disappointed with Brownell Motors Service Dept. I have a 1997 Saab 900. I had my car towed on March 10, 2011 due to the fact it had stalled out and was having problems restarting. Once it got to Brownell Service it was running and I was told they could not find anything wrong. I brought my car home and a week later the same thing happened and the car was totally dead. Now they told me I needed a new battery. The next day my check engine light and gear box light went on with a slight stall. Still they could not find a problem. The service advisor told me they could not check out what was wrong. I was extremely frustrated and annoyed. I finally found anoher mechanic that works exclusively on Saabs and they said the ignition switch needed to be replaced. My Saab is now running fine.

Valentin provides great collision work and great service!
