Seems very shady and bad business practices. As you can see by the owners reply below, he is now covering for his nasty attitude and lack of communication. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but that doesn't make up for the fact that the "Customer is King" - the "I'm doing you a favor and take my price or leave it attitude" and defensive nature against the pricing discussion is not a good way to run any service business. I certainly will not come back, as suggested by the owner below. As he said on the phone with me, he's too busy and has enough business already.

I'm agreeing with Gabriel, the review from 3 days ago just below mine. Purchased brand rear new…read moretires and bought my car had to have them mount and balance them which they did. Soon after I bought the front tires, again brand-new , to have them Mount and balance them, as well as do the alignment. After getting the car back the car had a vibration and the alignment is still off. They told me the reason alignment is off is because the rim is bent, I asked him how come they didn't see that when they balanced them the first time , I was answered with" well we see it now". Not to mention the alignment was $140... Then the second time I bring it back they check it out and then proceeded to tell me all the issues that they notice with the car.. Oh now all of a sudden you so observant?? but when you was balancing the rim you couldn't tell that the shit was bent tho? This place is an overprice Daddy's hand me down with no integrity or customer service. They only get business because their location. They will never get a dollar of my money and I suggest anyone reading to stay away from them

I have only recently started working with this shop and I cannot be more impressed. My cars are…read morevery important to me and are also an investment. I have been searching for a shop that knows how important it is to get quality work done within a time frame that makes sense, and also makes sense financially. I do not mind paying more for more, and with this company I feel I have found exactly that. I will definitely be coming back to them anytime I have need and will certainly not hesitate to recommend a friend.

My family and I have been taking our cars to Herbier for years. He always does a great job, gets…read morethe work done quickly, and his prices are very reasonable.

I had a very disappointing experience with Herbie Auto in Bayonne, NJ…read more On May 7th, I brought my car in for a wheel alignment. I spoke with a man there who quoted me $95. He asked when I needed the car back, and when I asked how long it would take, he told me it would be ready by 1:30 PM. We exchanged information, and I left the car there. Around 1:30 PM, I called to check if the car was ready, and he told me to give him another 20 minutes. I said okay and left my house shortly after to pick it up. When I arrived, he told me everything was good, I paid cash, and went home. The very next day, while driving to work on I-78, I noticed the car did not feel right. Over the next several days, it continued driving poorly. On Wednesday, May 13th, I took my car to Hudson Nissan for another wheel alignment because they use alignment sensors during inspection. I explained the recent work that had been done. During their inspection, they discovered that the front driver-side tie rod had been overheated to the point that the metal became brittle and damaged. At no point did Herbie Auto contact me to explain they were having difficulty performing the alignment or that additional repairs might be needed. After leaving Nissan, I went to my regular mechanic, who confirmed that the tie rods now need to be replaced before another alignment can even be performed. I understand that issues can happen during repairs, but the lack of communication and the damage caused to my vehicle is unacceptable. I trusted them with my car and now have to pay significantly more money to repair the damage and redo the alignment properly.

They have always been great at not only fixing what the obvious problem/service that I bring them, but they also check things out and let me know if there is something I may need immediately or to keep an eye on for the future.

Welp, all I can say is by the time I picked up my car and didn't even make it around the corner, the engine light was back on in ADDITION to my airbag light and no AC! I argued with them and the pizza face girl at the front desk started getting nasty saying something like IF WE TOUCHED IT we will fix it. I'm like you DID touch it. I gave them another change to fix it. I left my car for another 2 days while they worked on it trying to get it together. When I called to see if it was ready (they didn't call me) I was basically told it was a big job to tear everything down and try to pin point the problem. Needless to say I took my car and got the hell outta there. There was no way I was giving them anymore money after paying a whooping $1700. They tried to charge me an additional $500 for a tune up! They charge dealer prices and the work is subpar. They must have their friends writing fake reviews because this place is horrible.
