I have been using this shop for a little over a year for basic maintenance and other work -- oil changes, inspection, tire rotation, wheel alignment, brake replacement, timing belt ... etc. The work has always been speedy and diligent. I call the day before for a quote and to check if I can bring in my vehicle the following day. I drop off my vehicle in the morning and wait for a call or text that my car is ready for pick-up. I have nothing but good things to say. This is definitely a hidden gem. read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS SHOP WITH YOUR VEHICLE. I am Chris, the owner of a white 2012 Nissan Rogue that was serviced here in 2022. I paid for a tune-up and specifically asked the staff to check all fluids and make sure everything was in good condition. I was assured that everything, including the transmission, had been checked and was fine. Less than a week later, my transmission began slipping and struggling to go into gear. I had an independent mechanic inspect the vehicle, and he discovered that the transmission fluid was extremely low or effectively empty. We attempted to refill it and see if the transmission could be saved, but the damage had already been done. I was ultimately facing a repair estimate of roughly $5,000 and ended up junking the vehicle and purchasing another car. To this day, I cannot understand how I was told the transmission was checked and in good condition when I experienced such a catastrophic failure immediately afterward. Unfortunately, this was not the only issue I experienced. On another visit, I was told my vehicle was ready for pickup. When I arrived, I was then asked to wait because the oil service had not actually been completed. I watched the technician finish adding oil after I had already arrived to collect what I had been told was a completed vehicle. I also had to return because a plastic component was left in my back seat after service and had not been reinstalled. One mistake can happen anywhere. Multiple incidents involving quality control, communication, and attention to detail are much harder to overlook. The financial impact of these experiences was significant, and I have never felt that anyone took responsibility or provided a satisfactory explanation. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this shop and would strongly encourage customers to seek a second opinion on any major service recommendations or inspections. This review reflects my honest experience as a paying customer. Junior, Ryan, and Shanice, I am deeply disappointed in all of you. The consequences of what happened cost me thousands of dollars and left me paying for a replacement vehicle. Whether you agree with me or not, I have had to live with the results of these experiences for years. read more

I am so grateful the location is open (all day on Black Friday) and willing to accommodate me at the last minute......2 days before my inspection sticker expires. I was told to come in only if there are no lights on your dashboard. I arrived and was helped by a pleasant counter lady. The office is small and the garage can hold at most 3 cars. I was In and out. Very professional service and I couldn't be happier. read more

Mr. Francis is a true master mechanic. He treats everyone with respect and even strangers like us -- like family. He recent served as quite the independent expert when my inexperienced but very eager 19 year old son asked him to confirm during a pre-purchase inspection that a used Honda civic would be a reliable buy. Mr. Francis throughly inspected the car not once but twice. He also aggressively, but safely and expertly drove the car around many curves, bumps and local road conditions to ensure the vehicle was mechanically sound. Weeks later, my son is happily driving a mechanically sound Honda. Many thanks to Mr. Francis and JMR Auto Center for advocating for my son during his 1st ever purchase. This very skeptical Mom is very grateful for your fine expertise! read more

I called to get three cars inspected. The were very courteous and accommodated my needs. Service was prompt and professional. I have used these gentleman for more than 5 years. read more

I had my car inspected today and was very pleased that they could take me without an appointment. Service was fast and friendly. I will definitely return. read more

This place is a scam! These reviews must be from family and friends. I come and a man is sleeping and doesn't wake up. I should have left after that but I still stayed and they over price after ripping off my front part of my car. And LIE TO MY FACE! Saying a bump did it and that's why it fell off. These ppl are ridiculous and pathetic. Never again!!!! $822 for an oil change and break change. read more

These guys saved me big time!! My alternator broke on a Saturday of labor day weekend. On top of that I was moving in just a few days so I was in a huge time crunch. They were open on a SUNDAY and fixed it in about an hour. They seem very honest and helpful. Definitely recommend this place! As a woman I usually hate going to the mechanic because they often try to take advantage. I never felt that way here and they didn't try to over sell. read more

Very unprofessional place, they are charging an arm and a leg for everything. Who ever give them 5 star must be their friend and family. I'm telling you guys the truth. read more

Quick and friendly service. First time here and they went above & beyond to help me out. Thanks JMR Auto! read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE!!! So to start this off I was ticked off because someone recommended Ryan to me and I asked specifically for him to fix my car. I called 3 times specifically for him! Second time I left a message the lady in the office said he'll give me a call. They never called!!! Anyways I went the morning to the shop, I waited for him that morning thinking he'd be the one working on my car and before I knew it he gave my car to another man to fix and left! I Brought my car in for a part replacement and got my car back with new codes on my car. Check engine light came on. (Don't get me wrong I had one code on my car that I knew about) but they act as if they didn't see the new codes they put on it! I said it to them and they did absolutely nothing about it. They just pop the hood look around then cleared the light! That's it. I left Not long after I was driving on the highway and boom! My car lost power! It wouldn't accelerate, it started to lose power. Lucky I was near a shoulder I pulled off the road and checked the car another code came up. So now they put two codes on my car. I called and the lady from the store picked up and I was explaining to her that I'm having difficulties with my car and I don't know what to do. I'm stranded on the side of the highway! This never happened before, so you know how frustrated I was, it was all new to me. I asked to speak to the mechanic (Ryan) and she told me he said he can't speak to me right now!!! At this point I'm like! what you mean he can't speak to me right now!!! Like once they get your money that's it!!! They give zero fxxks about you. First of all they took my money, fxxxked up my car, left me stranded on the highway and you gonna tell me he can't speak to me right now..all bullshxt!!! NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL!!!! I did get the car started ! Went home returned to them the next day to try to correct their fxxk up and they look at whatever they had to look at and told me they cleaned the battery terminals so it should be fine. Not long after I was left stranded again. The car lost power again!!!! At this point I was just frustrated!!!! I called them again they told me I need a map sensor like why are they telling me this now!! I asked how much to fix it they told me they would call me back. Never received that call... I then took it on myself found a 5 star mechanic all the way in Long Island and got the problem fixed. Didn't even took the man 30 minutes to correct their fxck up!!! They pull the car apart and didn't know how to put it back together so the car wasn't getting enough power. Now my car works good as new with no hesitation! I honestly Thought this place was good because it was recommended and ratings was good on google but it's a waste of time and money!!! Very disappointed Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!! Once they get your money that's it. read more

Today I brought in my 2016 Audi A4 to get the rear brakes done. I have to say the mechanics are very knowledgeable,respectful and honest. Upon removing my tires they advise me they needed replacing soon. This is something I did not notice. Overall the mechanics took care of my needs. I would recommend this shop for all your auto needs. read more

I passed my Emission and my brakes light are working and this Jamaican guy has the audacity to say I fail my inspection because one out of my four reflectors light didn't work. He put on the inspection paper wheels removed, inspected and the car never went up on the lift. This place is a rip off. Do not go there. read more

I hate to give a star , saw it on yelp nice reviews. From their family and friends . I had a car inspection, one parking light , and two plate lights , change me $75 total . That's crazy . $10 for labor for one light . read more

The guys here are awesome honest and reliable! They definitely will not try to nickel and dime you to death.

I came here for my state inspection and the service was great and quick, the inspection was conducted in a timely fashion and I had no issues. read more

Speedy service, friendly workers. No complaints at all. I will come back if I need anything else done to my car

Got my oil changed and windshield wipers replaced today. On a Saturday I was expecting a long wait. The mechanic, Ryan, started working on my car soon after I arrived. I was in and out within an hour or so. Also paid exactly what I was quoted for full synthetic oil. No extra fees. I'll definitely be bringing my car back for routine maintenance! Thanks Ryan read more

The customer service at JMR is perfect. He told me it would take a half hour for inspection. I waited around he put on hold working on on another car, and was in and out and less than 30 minutes. They should call this mechanic shop pitt stop how quick they work. read more

JMR provides excellent service--one of the best I have seen so far. Truth be told...as a female going to the mechanic it gives me high anxiety because I have been taken advantage of in the past. However, not the JMR mechanics. I met an amazing mechanic Zmichael who was very patient with me, despite my high anxiety, and he took the time to carefully explain things. Not once ever losing patience. My sensor problem was diagnosed and fixed along with another issue I was not aware of all within a few hours!!! Again, great service!!!! JMR you guys are amazing, and honest, please keep up the great work. You truly made my day and have helped me to see going to the mechanic as a female and not knowing a great deal about cars in whole new positive light. Thank You again JMR!!! read more

Came here early one morning for an oil change and inspection thankfully I didn't need an appointment. When I got there I was helped immediately, he looked at my car and gave me an estimate. All in all it took about an hour and a half to complete the everything. The service was friendly, attentive and fast. Will definitely be back! read more

Great service and they won't overcharge you. Went to sts and mobil and got quoted double what I paid here and they tell you what you need to have done and what can wait. read more

I had my father's 2014 pathfinder worked on. Had both front struts and front control arms done here. Both Ryan and Junior worked on the vehicle late night. Both men worked very professionally, diligently, on the spot. Both men are very fair and willing to negotiate on the price. Most importantly they made me feel like I was working with two honest good men. Another thing is if you ever get a chance to get work done at their shop feel free to donate a few bux to their school supplies fund raising. These two men along with their auto shop ; help to raise money to provide supplies for school children all over Jamaica who are in need. JMR auto is truly making a difference. Thank you. read more

See all

After reading the great reviews I decided to take my car to JMR for an inspection, The mechanic was very honest, friendly and welcoming.. he took my car in right away , had me sit in an Air conditioned waiting room and even put the cable TV on for me. The service was very fast despite the shop being full of cars... I highly recommend this place! read more

Bad service. Brought my car here for a simple inspection. I was told it would be 30 minutes I waited for over an hour for them to tell me they won't pass me unless I pay $400 for new break pads. My car is a 3 year lease and goes back just next month So I highly doubt this was accurate. Don't go here. All they care about is getting your money. read more

This place is amazing. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are incredibly kind, professional and prompt. They took me right away to do my inspection and replaced my tail light bulb for only $15. My mom took my car in today to have the bumper replaced and they took her (personally drove her) to a place nearby that can do it quickly and reasonably. Great people, great prices and outstanding service. This is the only place I trust to take my car where I won't be overcharged and I won't have to wait a lifetime. So happy I came here and will gladly return in the future! read more

Quick (within a day) fix to my alternator. JMR even drove my car around the block to make sure car was working. car is working great now! good, fair price. seemed like honest guys. read more

This place and its staff are amazing. They are professional, trustworthy and kind. I came across JMR while looking for a mechanic, after several stressful and unpleasant experiences with other auto shops. I was told and shown exactly what was wrong with my car. I am extremely satisfied to now have an auto shop where I can go to without being talked to in a condescending manner or trying to be ripped off for unnecessary and nonexistent repairs. Would give more than five stars if it was possible. I highly recommend this place. Thanks Ryan, much appreciated! read more

Came in today to get my headlights and fog lights repaired. Went into the shop at 3 pm, was back in class by 4pm. Great clean and respectable service as well as great prices. They also have a lot of room to sit and sell refreshments. You might miss the shop on your left hand off of Merrick blvd. so watch for it! read more

I brought my 2011 Toyota for oil change, inspection, & general maintenance. They were professional & informative. We used to go to the Toyota dealer but JMR does it better. Thanks to our new mechanics Ryan & Junior. read more

I have never written a review praising a business before, but after my two experiences at JMR Auto Repair I felt the need to take the time to do so. This is a great place to get your car diagnosed and repaired. Many people, especially women with limited knowledge of cars, dread going to a mechanic because so many are either rude, condescending and just plain dishonest - and expensive. I didn't have a regular mechanic and found JMR completely by chance, when looking for a place to get my front brakes done. I appreciated the fact that everyone was very professional and actually showed me the work that needed to be done that day, they also gave me a list of other work that needed to be done, in what priority, and the approximate costs of each. I also appreciated the fact that I wasn't pressured and that they didn't use " scare tactics" to make me get more work done. Also, I was told that some work I thought I needed did not need to be done- how often does a mechanic ever tell you that you don't need work done?? I was very grateful and impressed and returned several weeks later to get my rear brakes and struts done. The shop kept their word on the prices they quoted me weeks earlier, I dropped my car off that morning, and although I was running late they waited for me so that I could pick up my car that evening. I am extremely grateful to have found JMR Auto repair, and very impressed with all aspects of their business, especially as a woman who has had other mechanics either attempt to talk down to me or outright lie in order to get me to pay for expensive ( and sometimes unnecessary repairs- which is why I didn't have a regular mechanic before). I now have a car that rides incredibly well, and a regular auto shop for all my repairs. I can't thank Ryan & Junior enough and highly recommend them!! read more

come here almost every other month to change parts, oils and check my mazda 3 2005. i live nearby too, Ryan is very helpful as well as honest guy. he'll give you fair price and go extra mile to satisfy your need. will continue business like every time. read more

Excellent mechanic skills!! Was given the diagnosis that my car needed a new transmission by a major auto company and brought it to JMR to get a quote and to maybe fix it. Found out I didn't need a new transmission and they got my car driving like new again!! It's been months and I have no issues with my car. I was impressed by the INTEGRITY of the mechanic, the SKILLS, the COST. I brought my car back to get brand new tires!! JMR is my new auto shop!! read more

great and quick service, they were not pushy like most places that try to tell you everything is wrong with your vehicle so you need to get everything repaired by them. read more
