I'm 64 years old. Recommended this place. They checked my check engine light and reset it for me. Very nice man. And very polite :) If I should need new tires, I'd go to this guy as he's very honest. read more

For purchase of gasoline their cash at pump prices are among the lowest in the area. I have not had my car repaired here.

The service is fantastic and Harry is so accommodating with dates and times to get you in. I take my car to his business only and have for years. read more

Hands down the best mechanic in the old bridge area, Harry is always honest and professional will not take my car to any one else. Highly recommend. read more

Hi there How are you I have Toyota camry 2001 I have problem in Evaporate emissions system. Can you fix it If yes I will come to you Thanks Beshay read more

See all

I have been using 516 car care since they started. Harry ( owner ) is like a doctor that you can trust your car's life with. My 2000 Avalon reach over 200,000 miles and the engine still runs like new. He is the only one who's been taking care since new. All my vehicles are all diagnosed and surgically repaired in his place. Very trustworthy and honest. Locally owned and very knowledgeable. Compared to surrounding areas he is the best priced and reliable. He got my business for a long long time. read more

Harry has repeatedly gone out of his way to make sure our cars are fixed quickly and efficiently. He does excellent work on the cars, we have been going to him for years! Thank you Harry for everything! read more

516 auto care has gone down. Used to be my go to spot. Lately though the service there has been awful! God awful like I'd rather go to American tire and they are the worst! Brought my mom's care there one day for an oil change. The next day I went to move my car and my driveway had a huge amount of oil on it.I went to open the hood to check the oil level and found out my hood latch release was broken. Harry stated it was already broken when I brought it in...then when I went back to get my oil checked they stated that they neglected to put a new crush washer in the drain plug. Fine mistakes happen. But they still blame me for breaking the hood latch on the car. Unheard of lack of responsibility. I pushed it aside and decided to bring my other car in for some service. I get called one day and am told that I need some extra things aside from the stuff I brought in like hoses and thermostats fine regular wear and tear items. I go to get my car when it was done two days later and try to start my car. My battery is completely dead. I ask Harry what the cause is he advises my battery is dead and he jumps it thought it was strange but pushed it aside. Went to look at my engine bay and my coolant hose that he changed is zip tied to a hardline mind you everything was completely normal before I bought the car in. I asked what the deal was and he says my rad support is rusted and he had to finagle something to make it work. And then he says he didn't change the alternator belt cause it was hard to do. Yet you have to take off the belt to do the timing. So did he do my timing belt service?? That he charged me extra for? Also I find it weird that there was no mention of a dead battery when he called originally to advise that he needed to supply some things and it would be extra charges. Did he really supply those items? I've been going to Harry for years and these last few visits are the final straw! Harry is the worst! I'd advise if you want to get any work done to go elsewhere. All you'll get is your car back in worst condition then it came in and he will take no blame for the things he's done. DO NOT GO TO 516 AUTO CARE EVER!!!! NEVER!!!! If I could leave negative stars or no stars I would! read more

I strongly recommend going here!! I have an older car, Kia Amanti and I only go to Harry for everything. His team does excellent work and they are very trustworthy. I can typically call harry for anything and he will for the most part, accommodate my needs. If your looking for quality service, go see harry!! His prices also are very reasonable, I've never had an issue in the past 2 years. read more

Leased a car for my wife a BMW 530 xdrive. Deepak Thawani was my sales rep at the used car sales in Rt 1. I bought maybe 5 or 6 cars from Deepak over the past years and he did not fail me. Deepak was right to the point. Listened to what I was looking for and worked most importantly with my trade in (which I bought from him 5 years ago) and budget. He is very patient and professional and will follow up to my concerns after buying the car. A good example is the right front tire keeps loosing air after I got the car from him. I told him about this and he followed up on it. He called me up and promised to take care of it when I have time. I give Deepak a 5 star and highly recommend him for your BMW needs Thanks Deepak!

Had a bad experience here. I Do not recommend to spend you're time and money on this business That is exactly what you will waste. Time and money. *Edited after owner's reply* Ok Harry, you're welcome for receiving my first ever Yelp review. Thank you for not even looking at my car while it sat in your garage for 3 days and not only until I called you then would you tell me "By Wednedsay itll be ready"... come Wednesday. "By Friday itll be ready." Come Friday. "I'll have it ready by Saturday." And you never call to update I have to call, and never got a straightforward answer. Then when I show up on Friday, it was just finally put on the lift and your excuse is you had to lay a guy off? Bullshit Harry. You did the same thing to my wife a year prior. Same exact thing! I should have learned then but gave you the benefit of the doubt and busniess. Your $200 refund doesn't cover the money I spent on my rental let alone the money spent on the other mechanic. The other mechanic stated that the issues with my vehicle were from your reinstallation after your service. I showed you his invoice so dont pull that bullshit reply on me. This review is because you earned it. Everything you offered is because I had to ask for it for the inconvenience. The battery you sold it and gave me issues within a year. That should be your warranty. You dont offer anything unless asked or demanded. And the $200, the transaction hasn't even reflected on my end and if it doesn't within the next couple of days, you will absolutely hear from me. read more

Go here only if you dont have any self respect!!! No one had mask on. 199 County Rd 516, Old Bridge, NJ 08857 I went here to inquire about price to fix my crv lower engine replacement. Even though this is small money for them they shouldn't treat customer like that. First of all no one had mask at all, no trace of wearing it. There were 3 folks in small room and no one care of safety. When I asked about estimate of the part and labor, sonny owner didn't even bother to reply back to me. Instead he called someone on phone and let them know about car which wasn't ready. Later one more customer came for major problem and he didnt even reply to me as courtesy to try different place as this cheap work for him. I felt so bad and end up leaving spot. Go here only if you dont have self respect. I will use honda service where you pay more but you get your self repect!!!! read more

Been going to this place for about 5 years now and Harry, his family and workers all have been amazing. Excellent customer service, fair prices and Harry will go out of his way for you. I have never had a bad or poor experience. If I could add 95 more stars I would. :) Thanks Route 516 auto care. read more

Skilled mechanics, same day service, professional and patiently explained my car issues and solution and best of all very affordably priced. Thanks so much!! read more

I was referred to Harry @ 516 Car Care after a bad experience at another service station. I had been once again taken advantage of and overcharged. Harry is honest, upfront and fair. I always know I'm getting great service at the best and honest price. What is it with other mechanics? They see a single woman come in with a car problem and they read "sucker" across our forehead. At least that happened to me. Not so with Harry! I trust my car's needs for over 2 years to 516 Car Care only. I get great service at the best fair price and know I was not taken advantage of. read more

This place is ran well. Guys are fair and honest with pricing and service recommendations. Took my BMW X5 here for new brakes and oil change. read more

Our whole family and friends go to this shop because of Harry. It's hard nowadays to find somebody whom you can trust. Keep on keeping Harry! read more

I have been bringing my Honda accord here for the past 6 months. An old coworker recommended me this place. I always get great quality work done on my car. They are honest and professional. Every time i get work done on the car it's always as promised. The only downside is that they can take a long time to get the job done. But that doesn't bother. They can keep my car overnight because at the end of the day i know I'm getting top quality work done on my car. I can always trust their work and they always get top quality parts for the car. I 100% recommended this place to anyone. Even when I don't call to make an appointment they get the job done by the end of the day. Awesome place, very honest and professional people, something you don't see often nowadays. I'll keep coming back here for as long as i live in NJ and for as long as i have a car! read more

Came for my BMW service. Mechanics are very knowledgeable over here. Took whole examine of the car. Genuine price and experienced mechanics. They know what they are doing, I will recommend this place to anyone without any doubt. read more

The owner Harry is the nicest guy to deal with and is the most knowledgeable person in the area when it comes to troubleshooting and diagnostic work read more

I always take my car to this place for Maintanance. Reasonable price and great service.

Too many stories with this business. Long stories short: 1. They do what they can to get paid, so don't expect at least a decent car job 2. If they think you don't know how to check cars, they won't do the job and charge you anyways 3. They mess up, not their fault 4. I wouldn't even come here for last minute jobs They are the typical car shop that rips people off. How do you think they can afford to upgrade their shop. Take your business somewhere else. The saying is true, You Get What You Paid For. In this case you're basically paying for a very expensive parking spot. Some times you'll even get the car back, not what you asked for. Moral of story: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP read more

They did a fantastic job with my broken bumper. Cheap fix too. Took it in at 8:30 and they said an hour. Took about 40 minutes and it looks good as knew. Very knowledgeable mechanics over there and the experience is good. Will definitely go again and would recommend to friends. read more

Uneventful good price for synthetic blend oil change. Will not hesitate to return. Friendly and a fair time frame

Harry and his team of mechanics are amazing! They keep my 2003 Dodge Durango with over 180k miles on it running like a CHAMPION! I will never have another reason to go to another mechanic. Harry and his team are hard working always getting projects I give to them done in a quick amount of time. Prices are always good and fair. Most importantly Harry and his team are honest. By far the best team of mechanics I ever seen in my life. No reason to go anywhere else they do it ALL! 516 Car Care is top notch service. Thank you Harry and your team of hard working mechanics. They are the BEST! read more

Dropped off vehicle at 830am for a problem with heat. Called back at 130pm to check status and was told that mechanic went to lunch. Don't waste your time and money. 5 hours wait time and still no service. read more

Terrible repair shop, stay away... He did wrong diagnose for my car engine light and tried to get $150 from me read more
