I would never recommend anyone to go here. I bought a truck from them straight off the lot two weeks before my baby was due. I did not realize that the inspection sticker was already a couple months expired. (purchased truck 8/2018 and inspection sticker: 5/2018) A WEEK LATER my engine light came on. I brought it back to them and they said they were "stored codes". All they did was turn my engine light off. I had a third party warranty that I paid for through them. They recommended Engine World in Deptford to fix my car. All the man did was tell me that they gave me a bad rim which was why my truck was shaking so bad and he also turned my engine light off and said they were stored codes as well. I paid for a new rim out of pocket btw. The codes on my truck all have to do with the transmission. (P0700 is one I can remember off the top of my head) I also found out I had a oil leak this whole time and bad control arms. A couple months later with a newborn I am still trying to balance my money to come up with enough to get this truck fixed on my own and pass inspection. I have been riding around with a rejection sticker because of them. (Supposedly they are now saying I worked the heads on the motor which caused vehicle failure because of no oil and anti freeze in the car...which is a lie) They sold me a horrible car at the end of the day. Thank you so much New Diamond Auto Sales for wasting my time.

I took my Volvo here because they said they were Volvo certified - they are not. Although the car was running perfectly fine, we wanted them to check out a "Check transmission next service" message. Three thousand dollars later, the message is still there and the car is stone cold dead in my driveway. They said there is nothing more they can do - and they were RUDE about it. Also, a Volvo mechanic told me that they charge at least 1 1/2 times what others charge. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE.

This place is reliable, honest, neither slow nor fast, and is economical. It is best to call them during working hours, describe the issue(s), and set an appointment for drop off. They allow you to drop the keys through a mail slot and leave your car if dropping off before they open. They call you if there are issues and when the auto is ready for pick up. They offer great services, at good prices, give decent estimates, and communicate any issues during the process. The only drawback is that Tom is kind of a curmudgeon. He is a very honest and trustworthy person, but is grumpy nine times out of ten. My wife and I have been going to Stephanou's for about seven years or so. They are awesome.
