They're honest, straightforward, and even though they're not close to where I live, I'd rather drive the extra distance than risk being overcharged somewhere else. Highly recommended!

They take their time to repair. Reasonable prices and honest opinions, when it comes to your car.

Top Notch Auto is the BEST Mechanic in the Area!…read more I recently had an emergency situation with my car battery dying on Thanksgiving Day, and I couldn't be more grateful to have found Top Notch Auto. After doing some research, I learned that they were the only shop open, and I was lucky to have come across them, even if by accident. The customer service was outstanding from the start. The staff was extremely friendly and understanding, and they didn't try to upsell me on unnecessary services like I've experienced at other places. After getting the battery replaced, they also diagnosed a bad alternator, and the repair was done quickly and affordably. They even fixed a loose gasket on my muffler and replaced my oil pan, which made a huge difference in how my car runs. I've been to Pep Boys in the past, but their prices are sky-high, and I never felt like the service was up to par. Top Notch Auto, on the other hand, was not only way more reasonable in pricing but the quality of work was impeccable. My car now drives like it's brand new--even with 110k miles on it. Mohammed and the team at Top Notch Auto are hands down the best mechanics I've found since moving from Manhattan to Park Slope. I'll be coming back for all my future car needs without a doubt. They really went above and beyond, and I can't recommend them enough!

He may be a good mechanic according to other reviews, BUT…read more..... Very poor management skills. I had an appointment to bring my car in, when I arrived he said he is two busy, bring it back in a couple days. NOT HAPPENING.... Now I lost my parking spot and rearranged other appointments for nothing. Forums another mechanic same day after this happened and he said give him 45 minutes and he will take care of it. Now that's great customer service.

Service requested: front + rear struts replacement, alternator replacement. My service in 03/2026,…read moreand 05/2026. Quality: good, reasonable cost in NYC. Their team: Marcello, Ivan, 2-3 mechanics are good. They did excellent jobs and know what they are doing. Sometimes, Marcello explained in detailed issues from my car, and truly helps my car. I am happy and feel safe, reliable. I've been with his shop for a long time and know well the process. That is a reason I always think about them to come when my car has issues, even though I have many mechanics closeby my house, just 1-2 minutes of walking. There is also something that I feel uncomfortable sometimes. 1/ They don't have a seat or customer room, so I have to back and forth my house and their shop during repaired time. I usually walk 30-45 mins to get their shop. 2/ Sometimes, I want to pay card, but they told me, the card machine is not working. It makes me tired to go to the bank and withdraw money, especially after working hours, and being rush to their shop to pick up my car because they are closed at 5:30 pm 3/ I am not sure their parts or my old car issues. It seems that the parts (CarQuest) that they put into my car does not last long time, it failed few months follow-up. Even though, they had warranty policy for 2 years including labors and parts for safe, however that makes me feel uncomfortable to bring my car back and forth multiple times in a shot time, claim for repaired with free cost. That is a reason I decided to bring my own parts after few times, so I can enjoy picking up what I love to my car, though sometimes I felt stress with doing this. And I can say my car is so picky. 4/ The receipt: sometimes the internet was down, I cannot have my receipt. Later on the next time of repairs, I requested them. Marcello sent my email and phone all of my receipt links. I can access them at this time with the link. After that, I couldn't access them if I did not download all my receipts. I truly don't know that until I have checked my receipts to look for the date of I changed the axles with them, I am so surprised that I couldn't access any of my receipts from the links. Previously I believe, all my receipts were still there. But it told the file was no longer available, if I want to have it, I have to request owners to resend the links of my receipts again. 5/ Recently, I called customer service by their phone giving to ask about the price of fixing, car issues, or what's going on with my car during repaired time ( I believe it was quicker than walking to their shop) but it told that it could not get through. It made me call phone or text messages to Ivan privately. It made me a little bit uncomfortable. 6/ Sometimes there is minor jobs or maintenance jobs like changing brake oil, it seems that they did not do. I am not sure. Because there was one time I asked mechanics to change brake oil for my car while he's changing new brake pads, rotors. He said he did not do this job. He ignored it. It seems he likes to do the big things. 7/ Their shop seems to have less lighting. I think they need more lights to make their working areas become brighter. 8/ Marcello, the owner of the shop, he looks full of energy, reliable outlooks, but sometimes he did not dedicate to his shop much. I am not sure ( that is my personal thinking) sometimes he looked tired, or ignored the car issues that I told him, even though he keeps talking. There was one time I told him that my left axle's boot was leaking. He needed to replace it to me in warranty policy ( because it's still 8 months). He was talking, while I thought he understood what he will do to my car. And I already told Ivan again on text message. Later on, when I picked up my car, I checked again, the old axel with boot wearing was still there, they did not touch it. When I complained it to them, they agreed to change it with no more money to pay, however, I suspected the parts from CarQuest did not match to my car. I decided to buy my own side, let them fix it again with free labor as they said. Overall, I feel happy with their service. But I hope that they will improve more , and dedicated more to become the best shop in NYC. I just have some personal concerns when I did repair my old car in their shop and I would like to share. And The rest of things, they did good jobs if they dedicated to their jobs, not picky jobs. I hope they love all things they are doing daily to help many customers who need them. It's not just MONEY, it's a JOBs

Third, always get a second estimate before you engage them. My experience is that their pricing is crazy. They overcharge because there are so few repair shops in the area. I've gotten so many lower estimates from other shops that I don't waste my time with them anymore. Finally, the owner's son who basically runs the Nevins shop is rude and ignorant. Never going back.

*** FAILED INSPECTION ON PURPOSE FOR MONEY GRAB****…read more My elderly father took his car to this shop for an inspection. The shop claims he needed brake pads, ball joints and a plethora of other stuff, and ended up failing the inspection charging him the full $37. They then told him to replace the parts and ensure he passes the inspection the next time would cost around $1,000 for them to do. Shady business for sure since I am the one that personally works on my dads car & brakes were changed 2 months ago. STAY AWAY!!!
