Brake repair service near Randalls Island, NY

I will never return to this store. They made a mistake that led to damage to my car, and when I approached the manager about it, they denied any fault, tried to charge me to fix it, and had very poor customer service (and apparently mechanical skills). I visited this shop at the end of July for an oil change. That's it. That's the last time anyone has opened my hood and accessed my engine, and I keep my car locked so if anyone had tried I would have known. Fast forward to about 4 weeks later when my battery light came on. I drove it to the nearest auto shop, popped the hood to get my battery checked, and discovered that my oil cap to my engine was missing, and that I had no oil in my engine at all. The engine itself was covered in oil, and the top front of my hood was warped, likely from how hot the engine had gotten without oil in it. My battery and alternator had both been destroyed, likely from the oil being spilled on it, but of course I can't absolutely prove that. I approached the store about how they had forgotten to put my oil cap on and the manager said "no we didn't. There's no way your car would have lasted a month without an oil cap, at most 2 days. Any mechanic would agree with me." I told him that the mechanic last night had said it was entirely possible for it to have lasted a month, as had the other three mechanics I had called, and his response was "well they just want to bad mouth us." He refused to even consider this may have been their fault, and that they may have made a mistake, he refused to consider rectifying it, and said they would be more than happy to look at the car and fix the current problem, even though they didn't cause it, but I would be charged for it. Why would I bring my car back to a place that had messed up once already and refused to admit fault or make it right? I had to purchase new oil, a new oil cap, and pay to uber to work for a couple of days while it was fixed, not to mention the $500 for a new alternator and battery, and the cost to tow my car home when it died on the side of the road and to tow it to a mechanic. I can't prove that the missing oil cap caused the damage, but they were the last people to touch my car, and the oil cap was present before that. It's a gross negligence of their jobs, which could have been forgiven if they had been apologetic and tried to make it right, but they had no interest in doing that. The manager I spoke to had no people skills and poor customer service, and clearly aren't attentive to details.

I went there in my 2012 camry because they were rated #1 oil change in south bay paper, and they told me the same ($35 more for synthetic). When I called toyota, Toyota said it is 5w20 synthetic. So i had it done and seemed very fair, quick service. I read this review first, and was hesitant, but my engine still runs and I saw they used the correct oil and changed filter. Seemed legit. would go back. Very fast service.

Purchased a vehicle, or I should say LEMON from Sunrise Used Cars in Lindenhurst last month, and was informed by the owner Joe at Sunrise, that he sold the car for Elite Motorsports. I have had problems with this vehicle within 2 days after picking it up. I called Joe at Sunrise and requested a refund, he refused and stated he sold the car for Elite Motorsports and to take it up with them. Can you believe the audacity? I paid Sunrise Used Cars and he is passing responsibility onto Elite Motorsports and then they denied Joe's claim. I found Elite Motorsports to be dishonest when I insisted something was terribly wrong with my vehicle, they told me to bring it to their location, and was promised a full diagnostic. I requested the diagnostic report, but they refused it, I asked for their Technician notes, and while Frank, their service manager was looking for them on his computer, he conveniently tells me he accidentally deleted them. I'm told the car was brought there for the inspection, yet how does a vehicle with extremely bad brakes, and other issues pass inspection? My vehicle goes back a second time, and this time I give them a diagnostic report from Audi and Elite Motorsports stated their diagnostic was inaccurate, Audi are thieves and they do not know what they're doing. Diagnostic Reports are inaccurate? REALLY? My vehicle has now been sitting for two days because it has a bad leak. Kai from Elite Motorsports promised me he would pick up my car, but the day my car was suppose to be picked up he calls and states, his truck is down. TRUCK IS DOWN? You fix cars, why is your truck down for two days now? Just more lies. Then he has the audacity to tell me to pay for a tow to his shop. My car vibrates terribly, car is leaking oil (I believe transmission oil) that ruined my driveway. AC doesn't work, and I could go on and on. PLEASE HEED MY WARNING AND STAY FAR AWAY FROM SUNRISE USED CARS AND ELITE MOTORSPORTS. They are dishonest, and they are liars! The ONLY thing that brings me comfort is... G*d above sees everything, and people like this will eventually get what is coming to them. YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!
