Auto repair service near Locust Valley, 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

COWBOY has returned from out of state to "5 Star Auto" on 40 Munson Street in Port Washington (just before the Willowdale Bridge), across from the extra train lot by Davis Ave and the carwash. He's been my favorite car guy for DECADES. I can't believe that he's back!!! He also took great care of my Dad's Lexus' cars and my Mom's numerous Mercedes vehicles. He is THE ABSOLUTE BEST THERE IS. An honest and awesome professional mechanic - and I know plenty (surprisingly). Honest to a fault, unbelievable as it might seem in this town. When I had a very bad flu a few years ago (not COVID) and was living alone, he sent two staff members over to pickup my car in my driveway at Sands Point, do the annual NYS inspection, and drop it back off at my house a day later. He only charged me the price for the NYS inspection. He is a MENSCH! Without question. I was a great personal friend of his partner, who moved away to work only for BMW. Anyway, I'm sure there's tons of suggestions for auto body work in this group, but this is MY GUY. He's back in town and if you need an incredible auto mechanic that's a stand-up guy with very reasonable rates, go to him. You can mention my name, but it isn't necessary. Love COWBOY! ? I absolutely GUARANTEE that you'll be satisfied and not taken advantage of at all. They replaced a side door for me, practically at cost only, many years ago. GOOD PEOPLE. If anyone experiences different, tell me please. I just called to get a new inspection and still can't believe that he's back. So psyched! ???? 5 Star Auto (516) 767-2245 40 Munson Street

I wanted to write a review , because I had a very hard time finding the owner of this company .Thats why I gave him a 4 rating . I asked around on a guy to do a yanmar survey on a boat I was purchasing , a 40 mainship . Over and over again the same name came up superior , was told if your selling a boat with diesels you don’t want to see this guy show up ..I tired calling him and tracking him down online to fine some of his old numbers don’t work ..I finally emailed him after taking to one of of his old customers He called me in 15 minutes , I talked to him set up a date , and he came to do the survey as planned I did not purchase this boat , because of his findings ..I later purchased another one with Cummins As he gave that boat a clean survey . He’s not a guy that likes to talk , but He knows diesel boats well I would recommend him ..if you can get him it’s worth it ..what I understand there only a hand full of guys that have been around for years , Superior , wesco , Steve’s marine . Now I store my boat at his marina for the winter .Rob has been doing this all of his life , I trust him .
