Fuel injection repair service near Locust Valley, 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.

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! ;)

Scott is a fantastic auto mechanic! So thankful i found this shop. Scott diagnosed my honda element and isolated the transmission problem. He backed me up and got honda to install a new transmission for free. I am forever a THE GARAGE customer and tell all my friends and family.

Purchased an S550 used. Had a couple of issues with the head rest ($550.00) and the seat kept breaking. Brought it in several times and finally got it fixed. Took the car in for a routine service and ended up with a $2,000 in July and then a $3,000 bill in November for brakes and tires. The rubber around the door is falling off and they told me that's common with these cars! (What!?) It's now December and my radio wasn't working so I brought it in again. They said I have two leaks and quoted me $135.00 to diagnose the problem and then charged me over $200 to diagnose it. They have had the car for 5 days now and they are telling me it is $2500.00 to fix the radio because it is on the same circuit as something else. UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! To say I am disappointed would be an understatement! The car is beautiful to look at and I love driving it! But, if the car needs a couple of thousand dollars in service every couple of months, what good is it?! My opinion: Buy a Lexus!

Excellent shop! I was having electrical issues with my 1996 Jeep and it proved very tricky to diagnose. The folks here were able to figure it out, fix the problems and do it for a very reasonable price! I have already recommended them to a few friends. If and when I need a mechanic again, I'll be back.
