Service stations service near Howard Beach, NY

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.

Right when I thought this was a reputable shop. This is absolutely the worst shop/junkyard you can go to. Had Mazin and Pete rebuild my engine on my 2013 X5 and literally 8 days later, it goes bad and their excuse is”oil cooler”. I will get every penny back and I will make sure everyone knows about the scam operation you are running there. Mazen and Pete, Karma will bite you back and I’ll see you in court. I will not let this pass. What a scamming shop that doesn’t stand behind their work or anything they do. If you don’t believe me, look at all the reviews engine rebuild reviews. These guys don’t know what they are doing nor what they are talking about. Unfortunately for you, you messed around with he wrong guy.

I have been using Clover for many years (20) & have always received excellent work, on time, at a very reasonable price! Bob the owner is honest @ is always looking to provide the best service for less!

Billy, and the employees at Woodmax Automotive provided excellent,quality service to my vehicle. I consider Woodmax to be dependable, honest, and fair........ I will not take my vehicle anywhere else, I finally found a mechanic I trust!!

Honest mechanics that tell you what’s really going on with your car and who always get the job done right! Always go here and will continue to always go here!! Lawrence Taylor

I am fairly new to New York. You hear often the stereotypes of a dog-eat-dog world. So looking for a mechanic, and honesty, is not an easy task. However, I was in a jam and needed to find one. I came across the reviews for Hughes Motor Corp, and I was immediately impressed to make a call. Vinny answered (he's part of a duo with Kevin). He was very friendly and assuring when I told him about the problems with my Durango. I had AAA tow the car to their workshop in Yonkers. These guys are professional, efficient, and you get your car back within the time frame that is estimated. Overall, I highly recommend this workshop, they are a great team. They will take care of your problems and put you at ease. Cars are expensive toys, what you hope to get is a decent repair job at a fair price. These guys provide both, you'll be in good hands.

Until Car Doctors moved into the neighborhood, I ALWAYS regarded car mechanics with a deep sense of dread and skepticism. Dee Knight is the definition of excellent customer service, and his personable crew of employees are the direct opposite of the duplicitious car mechanic stereotype. The car repair industry in general should follow suite. Thank you Dee!!
