It has been a very long time that I rode a commuter rail, but nevertheless after ten (10) years of…read moretrekking from Queens, NYC to Long Island to visit my former love I am no stranger to commuter rail daily trips. Unfortunately I have not been able to wanderlust in years which I am profoundly trapped in my locality with extreme cabin fever, and COVID-19 pandemic hindered travelling further, but I found a way out of NYC through MTA Metro North as a drifter in wanderlust. This MTA Metro-North Beacon Station is indeed clean. It is situated on the MTR Metro-North Hudson Line via the Henry Hudson River with scenic views of salt marshes, luxurious yacht boats, but no jet ski, kayak or paddle boats. It was a nice ride without any boisterous ruckus or rude disruption by fellow passengers. My ride was actually a very phlegmatic disposition. I usually sit alone for COVID-19 compliance of six feet distancing and usually silently cry due to my profound grief. It is a direct ride without the need for a transfer. The Hudson Line train passes the Broadway Bridge in the Bronx, and the New Tappan Zee Bridge. Unfortunately by night fall the view of the Hudson River during the entire train ride emits absolute no visibility as it is complete utter darkness. A one-way off peak ticket from Grand Central Terminal to Beacon for one adult is a whooping $17.50 (2021 era price) which is blamed on 2021 national inflation rate accelerated to 5.4%. Whoa! The underground passage is dingy very prone to flooding with inadequate drains as the underground passage is filled with pondering water on the ground with minimal lighting to provide pedestrian visibly for safety and less appealing similar to the NYC subway stations. There is a paid parking lot which appears to contain large amount of spaces. This station is ADA accessible with a ramp and elevator. There is a nice welcome signage of "Welcome to Beacon, NY" with a hand drawn area map. The train arrivals/departures at scheduled intervals of half hour or one hour for peak and off peak times. There is a small indoor, standing only, enclosure on the platform for passengers to seek temporary shelter from the elements of rain, snow, or extreme artic cold.

When I think of other Metro North stations (and I have seen a lot lately) I usually smile. When I…read morethink of this one, I grimace. It is functional, I will give it that. But it lacks the charm of some of the stations on the Harlem Line. Heck, it isn't even as charming as Peekskill, just a few towns south. It wasn't that clean and the sign wasn't well maintained. Plus, it kind of smelled like urine. I do not think there was any correlation between that detail and the fact that my friends and I had just spent 8 hours drinking beer before waiting for the return train to NYC, but I could be wrong about that. In any case, it was unpleasant. But don't let that stop you from visiting Beacon, it is a lovely town, pee notwithstanding.

Best place in Beacon!!! Friendly, considerate and informative staff. They did an amazing job on our…read moreson's car after a mold issue had arisen after he had a stroke. He was unable to tell us there was a water leak. They literally took everything apart, dried and removed all the mold. It took a long time but he now has a healthy, clean and sanitized car waiting for him as he recovers. I would highly recommend them!

This is definitely a place to take your car to. They are worth the price. We had just brought a…read moreused white Toyota. I had taken it to many places around who wanted to charge me thousands of dollars to clean the inside and fix chipping paint. They could have charged me just like everyone else ( by the time I went to them, I was willing to pay whatever). They told me a price and then he told me he would not touch my car until I called Toyota because he felt that the paint on the car they would fix ( he was right!!!) They are honest people who do very good work. I took the car back for them to do the inside. Best place ever. Your car is in good hands when you take your car here. Worth every penny.

When I went the day of my appointment, they said they didn't have my appointment on file. They were able to "fit me in" and I saw my truck go right in. For a tire rotation and an oil change, I was there for TWO HOURS. I watched as three mechanics stood underneath my truck staring at the belly pan scratching their heads. I asked the lady what the hell was going on and one of the mechanics came in and told me that I should be proud that I stumped the entire garage, claiming they had to watch YouTube videos, because they couldn't find the oil filter inside of my Toyota 4Runner, a very common vehicle. I wanted my truck off the lift and I felt very uncomfortable that they had to continue working on my truck because they already drained the oil. They had to get the "master mechanic" to complete an oil change.... Also, while waiting in the lobby, another customer came in for their appointment, and they didn't have their appointment on file either. I would not recommend them to anyone. I will not be returning. My buddy rotated all four tires and changed the oil in the driveway faster than these people with a lift. I'm going to have him check their work because I don't want the oil filter or tires falling off. I'm not very confident in their incompetent work. 2 oil changes, wow. Update: They removed my review from their Google reviews. How transparent.

The last time, he told me I could pick up my car at 5 p.m. When I arrived at 5:30, I was informed the door was still apart, and I would need to wait another 20 minutes. At that point, the owner was already becoming aggressive and swore loudly when he saw me. I asked if the window was fixed, and he responded impatiently, saying he had already told me on the phone that he took the door apart, put it back, and it was now working. I asked if the issue would happen again, and he said it likely would. I pointed out that it wasn't fair to charge me since the problem wasn't fully resolved, and I had been told I would receive a call before any charges were made. The owner then walked up close to my face and said, "I'll let you go this time, but don't ever come back here again. I think you're a bitch." He then quickly reassembled the door in three minutes, dropped my keys at me while looking down on me, went back into the store, and shut the door behind him.
