Auto repair service near Great Neck Plaza, NY

My dad owns a auto body shop in queens and eastern long island. He cannot believe the kind of work this auto repair shop does. he has been using a variety of different repair shops for subleting mechanical work.. he has used a lot of different shops in the past and he always felt every body was taking him for a ride and always had to return back because either the job did not get repaired right or there was something wrong. some how he found Mike at olympos auto service : ). he has family in Mineola, he had a problem with his personal vehicle and his sister recommended him to mike from olympos auto a few years ago. ever since, religiously he has been taking all the shop cars there, on top of his personal family cars. my dad is a very hard guy to please, so i don't know what happened between mike and my dad, but my dad swears by him and recommends him to all of our friends, family and customers. mike takes out the time to explain and show my dad the issues and problems. a mechanic like mike and his crew, is very hard to come by. most important is TRUST. as far as pricing, he uses the highest quality parts he can find, and as far as his labor, he is very fair... As far as my car, the first time i went to Mike, (drove a mission to get there), thought my car was going to go straight to the junk yard. 2500 dollars later, my car felt like it was not mine. felt like a new car. still driving my car three years later and getting repaired and maintained by mike and his crew. i TRUST Mike very much and i would never change him for anything.....GO HERE IF YOU WANT AN HONEST AND GOOD JOB......PS. DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE WOULD PUT BAD REVIEWS ABOUT OLYMPOS AUTO SERVICE. GO THERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.

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 was forced to give one star to leave a review but they don't deserve 1 star! HORRIBLE!!!! I brought my car to Star Chrysler for repairs on 2/20/12 for a brake switch and a heated seat element. It took an unreasonable 2 1/2 weeks for my car to be repaired and on 3/7/12 when I arrived to pick it up, I found my car appallingly damaged. I found a dent on the passenger door, my leather seat was damaged (font and back), the back of the seat looked as if it was dragged along concrete and the molding and/or sill where the carpet ends on the driver’s side was terribly damaged as well. When I brought these damages to the attention of the service advisor Anthony, his response to my disappointment was "Things happen". I then refused to take my car in this condition and insisted on all damaged parts be replaced. As of today 3/13/12 my car is still at Star Chrysler. Anthony then informed me to speak to the service manger the following day and the service manager Steve was very arrogant, disrespectful and denied any wrong doing. I insisted all parts that were damaged by their technician be replaced he refused to do so. If I would have been aware that this company had a rating of "F" by the Better Business Bureau as well as many other online complaints regarding the damages they have done, I never would have brought my car there for service. My Chrysler Crossfire was in pristine condition inside and out when I left it at Star Chrysler (no scratches or dents on the outside and the inside looked brand new. I only have a little over 8,000 miles on my car. The service advisor also noted this on my estimate of repairs and/or claim check which I have in my possession. I remain in disbelief that they could attempt to return my car in the condition it was. I also tried to contact the owner, John and left numerous messages over a week’s time and he never returned my calls. I am very offended, displeased and saddened that they can get away with doing such hor
