After written estimate, deposit, and completion of work Mike Bauer added $800 in labor to my final invoice w/o approval nor a valid reason. Ultimately tried to explain the $800 charge as for 'extra test drives' to check for issues with the same $2,800 repair I declined because it was not needed. Bauer was extremely rude, demeaning, and angry bc he was called out for these multiple attempts at padding my invoice. He got away with the bulk of it by refusing to allow me to pay what was agreed and wouldn't return my vehicle though i'd driven 4 hours to pick it up on Christmas Eve. YOU are much better off taking your equipment to the dealer for repairs.

Not only was the diagnosis absolutely correct, but it was explained in a way that actually made sense without talking down to me. Derrick and his team have been my mechanics since I moved to West Orange in 2018, and at this point I trust them completely with my cars. They're straight shooters. If something can wait, they'll tell you. If something needs attention now, they'll show you why. No pressure, no mystery charges, no unnecessary parts swapping. From a technical standpoint, their diagnostics have been consistently spot-on. They don't just throw parts at a problem hoping something sticks; they take the time to trace the root cause, whether it's electrical, drivetrain, or something more subtle that other shops miss. The work is done right the first time, and I've never had to come back for the same issue. Pricing is fair, turnaround times are realistic, and communication is excellent. They treat you like a long-term customer, not a one-time invoice. Shops like this are rare, and if you're looking for a place you can stick with for years, this is it. I recommend them without hesitation.

They're honest, fair, and prioritize customer care above all else. Unlike the big-chain shops that often exaggerate problems and overcharge, this team focuses on what really matters and ensures you're only paying for necessary repairs or services. I'm beyond thrilled to have found this gem of a company. Their dedication to customers is unmatched, and their service speaks for itself. I'll be bringing all my vehicles here from now on and will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and family.

Went to the dealership (the one next town over) for a simple oil change. Within an hour I get text with a video from the dealership recommending $7000 worth of work. I of course declined and told them to just finish the oil change but when I picked up the car, you bet I drove straight to Montclair Motorwerks from there. Ken and his team took a look at the vehicle and while some of the repairs recommended by the dealership were legitimate, others weren't really needed. The honesty was refreshing. Turned out the vehicle did need some extensive work (thanks Dad). The car was ready within a few days and the price (which was still in the four figures to reflect the scope of the work done) was a fraction of what the dealership would have charged. Additionally I was very careless in leaving something extremely valuable in the vehicle. One of the technicians found it and turned it over to Frankie for safe keeping. Anybody with questionable morals could have taken it and I wouldn't have known. When I picked up the car, it was there for me and while I was of course embarrassed, I was grateful. I'm under no impression that BMWs are cheap vehicles to own and maintain. They aren't. But the high degree of trust I gained from my first encounter with Ken, Frankie an their team made Montclair Motorwerks my go-to since then.

Even after moving away, we would often make the trip back just to have them inspect our car because we knew they would give us honest advice. A while back, a chain oil change shop told us we needed new brake pads. We came here for a second opinion, and they explained that the rust we were seeing was normal and would wear off with regular local driving. They were right. A year later, another shop again tried to sell us brake pads during an oil change. We immediately brought the car here, and after a thorough inspection, they told us the brakes still had about 2,000 miles left. That level of honesty is rare. Instead of recommending unnecessary repairs, they only suggest work that actually needs to be done. Their prices are fair, their workmanship is excellent, and most importantly, they genuinely care about their customers. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic, you can bring your car here with confidence. In an industry where it's hard to know who to trust, this shop has consistently proven that honesty still exists：）

Pretty sure this is the first time I've ever reviewed a gas station, but my most recent experience…read morehere compels me. The typical service station attendant either greets you with a grunt (if at all) or makes you feel like you've just inconvenienced him by forcing him to put his phone down (heaven forbid!) for a minute in order to open the fuel tank and punch the right buttons on the pump. Not here. There's a cat who works at this Sunoco. He's got long gray hair and Navy-style tattoos on his arms. I'm guessing from the other reviews that his name is Joe. This guy is the Bruce Springsteen/James Brown of gas station attendants. In an era of decreasing professionalization, he BRINGS IT - 100 percent of the time. I pulled in this morning and he greeted me with an ebullient, "Hey, brother! How ya doin'? What can I get for ya?" I said, "Can I get it filled regular, please?", and he responded with a, "No problem!" Then he took my card, went over to the pump, and launched into a very convincing cover of The Fortunes' "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" - a song that I always turn off when I hear it on the radio but that somehow sounded fresh and groovy coming from his pipes. This is a man who truly enjoys his work and thrives on brightening up his customers' days. As soon as I was filled up, he closed the cap, printed out my receipt, brought it over to me, and with a big smile said, "You have yourself a great day now." This is how every professional - whether at the bank, the post office, the electrician, etc. - should treat his or her customers. If you're anywhere in the West Orange/Montclair/Livingston area and you need gas, do yourself a favor and drive the extra distance to fill up here.
