    What was meant to be an exciting day -- finally returning my rental and purchasing my own vehicle…read moreafter a car accident left me without one -- quickly turned into a maddening, infuriating experience at the Port Jefferson Enterprise. The moment I stepped inside, I was hit with an overwhelming stench of cat feces and litter. The office was filthy and unprofessional, Especially the Manager Filomena Innocente-- not at all what you'd expect from a national company. It immediately set the tone for what would become a nightmare interaction. Instead of a quick, routine return, I was blindsided by ridiculous claims of "significant damage" to a car that had normal wear and tear when I picked it up and when I dropped it off. It was obvious they were trying to use my no-fault insurance claim as an excuse to squeeze money out of my policy -- a total scam. I've been through enough after my accident, and this was the last thing I needed. Pictures will be posted of the significant damage. To make matters worse, I received no confirmation email, no explanation, and no accountability from the staff. Every attempt to get clarity was met with rudeness, defensiveness, and complete lack of professionalism. When asking a question I was met with an attitude. "For the fifteenth time! ..." I am not a trained car rental professional. I've rented with Enterprise at the Smithtown location and returned in Port Jefferson due to the location of my new vehicle. Port Jefferson's way of conducting business is beyond unacceptable as proven by many other recent reviews. The staff, the facility, and their business practices are all a disgrace to the Enterprise name. Corporate seriously needs to investigate this branch -- it's giving the entire company a bad name.

    Many cars are dirty and dented. Had to take cars back a few times for one thing or another…read more Staff is hit or miss. It's local so we try to give local businesses our business. The staff will try to make things right, but I feel they need to ensure cars are clean, not dented or scratched and improve inventory.

    It's difficult to find an auto shop that you can trust and that won't try to rip you off. East…read moreSetauket Auto is different than the rest. 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 recently moved to 616 Main Street in Port Jefferson, I am happy to say that the same great…read moreservice is being provided at the new location behind the USA gas station. No matter the model or type of car, they have always done a great job for me at a reasonable price! Wish this family owned business the best at their new location!

    Terrible service. Prepaid 170$ for the full-sized sedan in Port Jefferson, NY, Long island area…read more When I got there only old SUV was available; on top of that it needed oil change. Tried to be as polite as possible, as I was really counting on the car because of friend's wedding. He then told me "There are no penalties or fines for another renting another car". I was really happy to hear that I won't be fined for being f*cked over. Do not recommend. Use relayrides or zipcar, or any other peer rental network. Unless you really want to waste your time, and spend 4 days trying to reach customer representative "Bob" with thick Indian accent.

    I called to set up an appointment at the mount Sinai ny location and was transferred to another…read moredepartment to set up an appointment, I set the appointment up from Sunday -Sunday I made the representative aware the earliest I can get there was 4:30pm he told me as long as it was back by 7:00pm I was fine, I went to return the car at 4:30pm and the location was closed I left the car but had no drop box so I called the number again and got a representative she then told me I can leave the car and drop keys off Monday first thing in the am and would not get charged, so I did so and of course they are trying to charge me for the wrong information that Avis's representatives gave me, now I'm charged a extra day for a car I do not even have so they are just making money and prob rented it out and got double .I am very unhappy with the services and information that I have received and waiting for a supervisor to call me back because they told me in the contract said the time but when I picked car up they did not point that out or tell me this is when it has to be back they told me about the gas though and that was it even in booklet they gave return time wasn't filled out so I was going off the information the first representative gave me . Very unhappy and probably will never rent from Avis again.
