This place was an absolute nightmare I went there for a tune up and for my rear brakes to get fixed…read morebecause of the horrible noise they were making when backing up due to my rear brakes hitting the rotor's. When I brought my vehicle in on Thursday I was told it would not be ready until Monday the next day I received a phone call from Javier stating it will be ready the following day and I found this sketchy so I went on to pick up my vehicle and paid for their services thinking everything was fine only to find out that my vehicle later on that night continued to make the same noise that I brought it in for so I waited to see if it would stop and it did not then as night fell I went to turn on my lights and they did not work after I just installed new bulbs a week prior to bringing my vehicle to this nightmare of a place and when my father went to check the lights only to find out my bulbs were taken and replaced with non functional ones without my authority and I still had the package box of the ones my father had installed to prove this and when I called to question Javier he was very rude and hung up the phone on me . I am writing this to warn people to stay away from this place .... horrible experience

My VW is well past the warranty, but I have been so far lucky with the dealership, skirting by with…read morebasic maintenance. This time was no joke, and the VW dealer wanted around $6K because the fuel system is shot. For whatever great fortune bestowed upon me, I was lucky enough to find J G Auto Repair. Joe and the team were able to fix my VW for a small fraction of what the dealer wanted. They got me original parts and did the job in no time. J G are communicative, extremely courteous and kind. I am so happy to have found someone local who can help me keep my nice VW going, hopefully, for many miles more. Thank you, Joe.

Price varies because it depends on the work that needs to be done, and how quick you need it, but I can tell you this he will get the job done right.

The guys there were warm, friendly and efficient. They ordered the part we needed, gave a fair estimate, and stayed late to fix our car. It's running better than ever now. We love this place!!!

Have been going here for years. Al is honest (let's me test drive and even come back next day to…read morepay to ensure all is OK...who does that?)! Only down sides: - prices have gone up a LOT as time goes by, but that is all over for garages in the metro area, thus an honest mechanic trumps prices IMO. - depending on the complexity of the repair, most times my car wasn't done on the day promised (he seems to take on a lot of jobs at once, and faced with street parking challenges), so I always assume to leave my car for a few days more and on a week I do not need the car as much. Al once said he respects all customers' cars - no matter how old, he wants you to drive home in a safe vehicle. However, do allow for more time to have the jobs completed.

Get a call Friday afternoon from him saying he won't do the work for $285 and claims it's too much having to remove the engine and everything to get to the steering shaft. complete bullshit. all one has to do is remove a front wheel and you can access it. talks out of his ass and wasted an entire day of my time on friday. Then turns around and wants $465 to do the work, instead of $285. Do not go here. They are lazy, bait and switch you, and are dishonest people.

Went for an oil change and ask to have the tires rotated as well. Oil change price was a little…read moreexpensive and I get it with the rents in our neighborhood, but I was charged an additional $70 for the tire rotation. That is ridiculous overcharge for what takes less than 10 minutes. Mavis charges less for the oil change and includes the tire rotation with the price of the oil change. All in all comparison it's $100 cheaper at Mavis. I'll never return to chariot

I brought my car to Chariot after they identified what they said was a transmission oil leak. They…read morediagnosed the issue as a faulty oil pan, and I paid to have it replaced. Unfortunately, that was not the actual source of the leak. Because the real issue went unaddressed, my car lost transmission oil again shortly afterward, leading to repeated breakdowns and ultimately a complete transmission failure. I now need a full transmission replacement costing several thousand dollars, and Chariot has offered no meaningful help or accountability. I'm extremely disappointed with the misdiagnosis and the financial impact it caused. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop.

Then another worker came out from nowhere, a manager I believe, who would not provide his name and told me they couldn't plug my tire. I told him I've been here before and had the same tires done here but he refused me service. I had no issue with anyone. Very bizarre experience to turn away business and for no reason other than he didn't feel like doing the work? I would love to just be able to pass up money-making opportunities like that. The manager must be doing very well for himself. I asked him to not insult my intelligence and instead of lying saying he can't fix the type of tire l've had done here before to just be honest and say he doesn't feel like doing it. I have a call in to the owner, Lupita. Hopefully she can resolve this weird and unpleasant experience. For now, a place I used to like and think was reliable I would now say don't waste your time coming here. Go elsewhere..

I brought in my BMW with a power steering rack issue as well as the part and he immediately nodded no and said along the lines "I don't wanna go near a BMW". What's the point of advertising that you handle imports if you're going to cherry-pick which ones you'll even look at? Wasted my time and gas. Go somewhere that actually stands by their claims. Lazy.

My old 2007 VW GTI failed the state inspection, and…read moreI was pretty worried as everybody told me to get a new car unless I spent $$$$ on repairs and that it would never pass. A couple of local friends recommended this place, and boy, am I glad they did! Vinny, the owner, totally got that I needed the bare minimum to pass. He fixed only what was necessary and didn't try to upsell me on a bunch of extra stuff. He did point out some "weaknesses" he spotted, which was helpful to know for future reference. The service was super quick, honest, and exactly what I needed. They really know their stuff. They've been in business for 26 years - that says a lot! The staff was super friendly and professional too. If you've got an older car or just need honest, reliable service, I highly recommend Midtown Auto Repair. PROTIP: If you're worried about passing inspection, these are definitely the guys to see. They'll get you sorted without breaking the bank.
