I am so lucky to have these guys down the street from me! They're my heroes! Tony was recommended at different times by guys working at Pep Boys, Auto Zone, as well as another mechanic before I actually found myself at his shop. When 3 car dudes recommend a mechanic, you know they have to be solid! I showed up one night after 5pm with an emergency, and the guys were incredibly kind, quick, and the repair was more than reasonably priced. I was out of there by my daughter's bedtime..and my positive experience has been repeated every time I have gone there. All the guys that work there are really awesome and conscientious, and each of them at one time or another has gone above and beyond in unexpected ways to make sure my car is at its best. When I needed to replace my beat up old vehicle, Tony took the time to look the new one over and drive it around the block so I could feel secure in making a good decision. I could seriously keep writing about their awesomeness, but i think i have made my point. If you need a reliable, honest, and reasonable mechanic, this is the place to go.

Purchased car on ebay, listed as "drive it today". had shipped 300 miles away due to covid nonsense and upon delivery battery was dead...no big deal, replaced battery and took for a drive, noticed front end shake, took to garage where they found $2500 in repairs needed. Lower control Arm, Motor mounts broken, bad axle and airbag control module. this was just the safety defects...also needs water pump, brakes, belt, tires to name a few...has bolts missing underneath and so on. long story short, STAY AWAY!!! ripoff artists and cons...they should not be allowed to sell cars. and that is being kind....

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.

Be sure to read your invoice/ service record for the whole story... although standard, Blair's does not perform all aspects of car service and do not consider it their responsibility to tell you, "It's written on the service report..." Their lack of communication about what service they conduct, and don't,although standard, just cost me the same the same $300 I spent last year for the same service...funny, their sure to tell you the price on the invoice, but not what service you need to follow up with on your own with another service station to have a complete repair.
