Auto repair service near Westbury, NY

My brand new Lincoln had just been driven over a small landslide caused by heavy rains. I had two flat tires and a ruined front wheel and was 300 miles from home. AAA sent Armonk Garage to help me and I was very pleased with the service. The truck arrived on time, picked up the car, my wife and I and then found the nearest Lincoln dealer. Although the dealer was some distance away the driver took us there, unloaded the car interfaced with the service people and did not charge us. He was helpful, courteous, and sympathetic. He made a bad situation much better. Thanks.

As the Manager at this facility, I would like to take this opportunity to provide some information in regards to the previous post. The above customer came into our facility with two concerns. First, check a no start condition. It was a simple diagnosis, the starter had failed. We replaced the Starter, charged standard book time and the cost of a new, not rebuilt part. We even gave the customer a lifetime warranty on the part and did not charge a diagnostic fee. The second concern was to check a no heat condition. We verified there was no heat, and there was a noise coming from the dashboard area. I explained to Tony, this would require removal of the lower part of the dash board to diagnose and there would be a charge. It could be either an acuator, a blendoor, or even debris causing this condition. Tony declined. All the information was clearly marked on the receipt, in which, Tony had signed. I would be more than happy to repair the no heat condition on his old, high mileage vehicle, but he did not want it repaired due to cost. At AAMCO, we have been in business for over 50 years, and make customer satisfaction our number one goal.

Theo's car care is a rip-off!!! I took my car there because my friend said the owner was somewhat honest to him while inspecting his car, and because it's a small local shop so I expected lower charges. However, when I need to have a part replaced on my nissan, the owner asked for the same price as a Nissan dealer is asking, and, much higher than Goodyear!! He charged me $100 for inspecting, it took them FOREVER even after I told them my suspicion because it's a common Nissan problem that surprisingly hasn't been recalled on. The inspection cost $60 for my friend who has the same car and exact same issue at Goodyear. When it comes to labor, Theo's mechanic finished taking the part out and putting the new one in in about 1 hour, BUT, he charged me for 2 hrs!! When I told him my friend had it fixed for less, he said he doesn't believe me so I called Goodyear and had him talked to Goodyear, only then did he lowered the price a bit. When I got the bill at the end, it's almost the same as Goodyear's charge but I had a terrible experience. Terrible customer service and the owner is sleazy, rude, and ignorant, I would give him a -5 stars if I could.
