I recently brought my 2025 Mustang Convertible to East End Auto Kicks to have smoked taillights…read moreinstalled along with interior accent lighting, and I couldn't be happier with the results. When I picked up the car, I was absolutely floored by the quality of the installation. Everything looked factory-installed, with flawless fit and finish. The smoked taillights completely transformed the rear of the car, and the interior lighting came out even better than I had imagined. The final result exceeded my expectations in every way. What really sets East End Auto Kicks apart, however, is the owner, Kurtis Kafman. He is a truly stand-up guy who takes tremendous pride in his work and goes above and beyond to ensure every customer receives white-glove service. You can tell that customer satisfaction is not just a goal for him, it's a passion. While I was there, Kurtis took the time to show me several other projects the shop was working on. Every vehicle was being treated with the same level of care and attention to detail, and the craftsmanship on each one was outstanding. One moment that really stuck with me was watching a woman become emotional when she and her husband came to pick up her car. The team had added a few surprise touches that she wasn't expecting, and seeing how happy she was spoke volumes about the kind of business Kurtis runs. It's rare to find a shop that genuinely cares about creating that kind of experience for its customers. If you're looking for top-quality automotive customization, outstanding craftsmanship, and customer service that is second to none, I highly recommend East End Auto Kicks. They've earned a customer for life.

Wanted to install a remote starter for my Jaguar F-Type R and was not a fan of the Jaguar app,…read moreespecially when the yearly fee was just as much. Plus, the Jag app only worked 60% of the time. When I contacted Kurt, he got back to me quickly. Was willing to answer my question and made me feel like this is a company I can trust. Brought the car in and it was a special order item from a company in Brooklyn. When they sent the wrong device, instead of telling me to pick the car up and bring it back, he went to get the item himself, driving a total of 3 hours so that I could get the car back the next day. Next level customer service. When I want to upgrade my sound system and wrap, I will probably come back to East End Auto Kicks.

Dropped it off, within a couple of hours I got a call back and the gentleman told me exactly what was wrong and how much it would cost. Very reasonable. He told me it would be ready the next day. Sure enough my vehicle was ready before noon. Check out was quick and easy and they went over the work done and answered my questions. What blew me away was they washed my car and did the small touches like air freshener. The next day I got a phone call from them just to make sure everything was running right. Amazing. It feels awesome because now i have a mechanic I can trust and will take care of my vehicle right. Do the right thing and make an appointment and you will be good to go.

Been taking my old beater work Honda here for years and they have been reliable, friendly and most importantly- honest. They've done all my basic maintenance, usually just brake pad, battery, inspection related. Always done in a relatively timely fashion for a fair price. Never once tried to upsell me on extra work in order to pass inspection. My most recent encounter with them, which is what really motivated me to leave this review, was especially appreciated. I don't know much about cars, but there was something a little stiff with my steering, and I thought maybe the power steering or some belt was going. Took it into East Setauket Auto and asked them to take a look at it and let me know what needed to be done. They could've told me numerous things and hit me with some multi hundred dollar charges, but instead they looked at it and honestly told me nothing was wrong with it and no work needed to be done so I picked my car up no charge. That type of honesty is priceless and will recommend this auto shop to everyone who needs one. Great people here. On top of all that the place just looks cool- convenient location in a nice area- retro, old school style office and shop, feels like going back in time in a good way.

They did a video of the work that was done on my car so I could see the work they did. They finished early and completed everything on my list. The cost was very reasonable and certainly better than I expected. My car is a 1998 model with 153,000 miles on it. They could have easily added something to the bill, but that is not the way this place does business. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I took it back and they lowered the tank slightly so the valve could open. Not long after my check engine light came on and codes P0442 and P0446 popped up. The mechanic admitted they put the gas tank on too tight, which led to the solenoid malfunction. They offered to fix it for $500! I don't recommend anyone take their vehicle here. They have a pattern of creating more problems for their customers than solving them.

He proceeded to help me put the tire back and make sure it was ok to drive on. He stayed late when he didn't have to and did not charge me for the service, he wouldn't even accept money after I tried to still pay him. He didn't have to stay late or choose to help me when he could've been on his way home. The owner chose to be kind, chose to help me and I greatly appreciate it. In a world full of too many options, pick the companies that are kind and willing to help you when you need it most.

Smitty's Garage for the win!…read more My Corvette place was jammed up with work, they couldn't squeeze me in before my trip to Carlisle. A few car guys on social media said to try Smitty's garage. I went to garage and spoke with Will. I told him this Corvette is my baby, treat it with love. I was traveling and he said leave it with us, I have a good Chevy mechanic. I came back, the valve cover gaskets were installed and I was road worthy. Mind you, his shop is busy with summer auto problems, I'm thankful he was able to get me zoomin'. The big question is, why do they get 5 stars? When they changed the valve cover gaskets, they took the time to clean off the residue oil that splattered out. It's that attention to detail that gets noticed. I need a steering part, he said he'd order it but haven't heard back. I'm typing this review from the Port Jeff ferry, we're all busy!
