She is a college student in Madison, and he was wonderful with her, explaining the problems, and even sent me pictures of the parts that need replacing from his phone, so I would know exactly why he needed to do the work. What he charged me for parts and labor was absolutely reasonable, and he was kind and considerate. I can relax knowing that my daughter has a trustworthy mechanic in New Jersey, and that is beyond measure. Thank you, Tommy!

We brought him my daughters VERY old Lexus, and he essentially brought it back from the dead. Not only did he do a thorough diagnostic, he was so patient explaining to her the issues, solutions, pricing, expectations, and timing. He was even able to fix a problem the dealership had told us was "unfixable". We also felt his pricing was very fair. I now bring my car to Tommy as well, and would recommend him highly. Tommy is a Car Wizard! Thank you, Tommy!

Lau's Auto Service is professional, courteous and talented. The owner Jorge is the one you want to…read moresee, as he will always be honest and up front. He's very knowledgeable and been in the auto business over 30 years, and his wealth of knowledge guides his staff to do their absolute best. Jorge really takes the time to get to know all of his customers, and is very respectful and professional. He will steer you in the right direction (no pun intended) on when it's time to make a repair or if it is even just time to trade-up for a new car. My car is older & discontinued by its manufacturer, and thus not easy to source parts for. I'm pleased to say that Lau's auto service always finds what I need to fix my vehicle (not the case with other repair garages I've used!) I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness that the staff puts into their work. My car hasn't run this well in *ages* and I'm really pleased with the service. I bring my car here for regular maintenance in addition to big repairs; Lau's caters to all my routine needs like diagnostics, oil changes, wheel alignment and rotation, etc. Very appreciative that Jorge and his crew will help me find the best parts for a great price, and are always up front and honest about billed services. They have got state of the art equipment, and are always improving! This business is truly a class act, and respectable name in the neighborhood. I will continue to bring my car to these guys as long as it's still with me!!! :) I have also recommended coworkers, friends and family to their service and they've been satisfied as well. Thank you Lau's Auto Service!!!

Frankly, I don't know anything about cars. I checked this place out at the recommendation of a few…read morepeople who know the neighborhood mechanics. I have an old 2002 Civic and these things need their timing belts replaced every 100,000 miles (or so I'm told), and that's about where she was when I bought it. Shouldn't cost much more than 500$ (again, so I'm told). So I checked this place out. The guy who runs the place, Danny, told me he'd have it done by the next day and he certainly did. Turns out my engine had all sorts of other problems that he fixed while he was under the hood. My gut reaction was "Here we go." but things were not what they seemed. The overall price after labor and all of the other fixes he provided was, as I was told, not much higher than 500$. I've since heard even more good things about this place and I can say I'm a believer. This will be my go-to place from now on.

My mechanic who is a family friend told me that my car's engine and transmission had been leaking…read moreoil and it was a matter of time before it was going to fail on me. It was due to old age (239000 miles). Too bad he doesnt do engine swaps. Fortunately, I have a coworker who has a husband that owns a shop and was told that he just recently swap a engine with a low mileage jdm motor. Chris called me that same night and we went over the details on the work that needed to be done on the car. He was very informative and he went step by step with me about the engine swapping process. He even told me that he would pick up the engine and transmission in NJ for a cheap fee. I decided that Chris was the right guy for the job and told him that I would give him the car in three weeks to work on. When I arrived at the shop, I told Chris that I had other issues with the car. He told me that he will look into it but his main focus was to replace the motor and transmission first. During the time he was working on my car, he kept in constant contact with me. He would let me know what he was doing and if there was something that needed to be replaced, he would call me first for permission before buying the replacement part. Chris also sent me picture and videos while my car was being worked on. One of other issues that I had address to Chris was that my heater was only give me luke warm air at best. I had thought that my heater core was clogged and that it needed to be replaced. Turns out, Chris found that it was just my heater control valve that was broken and prevented the coolant to go into my heater core. For people that dont know about heater cores, it would cost 800 to 1500 dollars for the heater core to be replaced. By finding out that it was just the heater control valve, Chris saved me a boat load of money. About a week and half later, Chris finally finished the job and he delivered my car in front of the house. He even gave my car a wash and even detailed my car. I test drove the car with Chris sitting on the passenger side and was surprised how much power I had on the new engine. Transmssion was shifting flawlessly. Chris also installed a dedicated transmission oil cooler and filter to prolong the life of the transmission. I had told Chris that day he delivered my car that I was going on a trip to upstate for the memorial day weekend. He told me that if I have any issues to call him immediately. I didn't have to call him because my car worked perfectly. In fact, Chris texted me asking how my car was doing and I forgot to text him back. (Sorry Chris). I highly recommend Chris to anyone. Not only that he does excellent work, he genuinely cares about his customers. Other than my family friend, Chris would be the only one I would trust my car with. Thank you Chris!!!

Took my Mini Cooper in yesterday to change the brakes, went to pick it up and saw one of the…read moremechanics smoking in my brand new car. So now my car smells like cigarettes! The "owner" test drove the car and said it was fine. I immediately asked him about the brake like that is still on, he said "you have to drive it and it will go away". Drove the car to Ikea and the car starts making this extremely loud howling, screeching noise. I went back to them and the "owner" tells me that it's probably the rotors or I didn't buy OEM brakes for the car. I said Jurid is specifically made for German cars. I said it's funny how all of a sudden now it's the car's fault. I told him that I have to press the brake pedal all the way down for the car to stop. My old brakes would stop on a dime. He said he can't do anything about that and I need to change the rotors. The mechanic that referred me checked the rotors and they are good for one more brake change so that's complete rubbish. So I asked him about the brake light on the dash and he had the nerve to tell me he doesn't have the computer to reset my car's computer. So my car still thinks I need to get the brakes changed as when I start it, it tells me. Which is why I changed the brakes in the first place!!!! How do you do half the work get paid, mess my damn car up and have the nerve to say you can't do anything about it. Clearly they have no idea how to fix German vehicles and now I'm scared to drive my car because the brakes don't work and the noise it's making is extremely annoying. So off the the BMW/Mini dealer I go. Horrible!!! Will be contacting the BBB.
