I had a very disappointing experience with Herbie Auto in Bayonne, NJ…read more On May 7th, I brought my car in for a wheel alignment. I spoke with a man there who quoted me $95. He asked when I needed the car back, and when I asked how long it would take, he told me it would be ready by 1:30 PM. We exchanged information, and I left the car there. Around 1:30 PM, I called to check if the car was ready, and he told me to give him another 20 minutes. I said okay and left my house shortly after to pick it up. When I arrived, he told me everything was good, I paid cash, and went home. The very next day, while driving to work on I-78, I noticed the car did not feel right. Over the next several days, it continued driving poorly. On Wednesday, May 13th, I took my car to Hudson Nissan for another wheel alignment because they use alignment sensors during inspection. I explained the recent work that had been done. During their inspection, they discovered that the front driver-side tie rod had been overheated to the point that the metal became brittle and damaged. At no point did Herbie Auto contact me to explain they were having difficulty performing the alignment or that additional repairs might be needed. After leaving Nissan, I went to my regular mechanic, who confirmed that the tie rods now need to be replaced before another alignment can even be performed. I understand that issues can happen during repairs, but the lack of communication and the damage caused to my vehicle is unacceptable. I trusted them with my car and now have to pay significantly more money to repair the damage and redo the alignment properly.

went to Herbie's Repair Shop today for a wheel alignment and tire balancing. Before the work…read morestarted, Herbie, the owner, quoted me $125 for the alignment and $10 per wheel for balancing. I thought the pricing was fair, so I agreed to the service. After waiting over 2.5 hours, I was shocked when my final bill came to $269. When I questioned the total, Herbie claimed the balancing charge was actually $30 per wheel, not the $10 per wheel he originally quoted me. When I pointed out the discrepancy, he became argumentative and insisted he never gave me the lower price. Only after I threatened to dispute the charge with my credit card company did he agree to refund the extra amount. This experience was extremely unprofessional and left me feeling like I was being taken advantage of. I strongly recommend that anyone doing business here get all quotes and pricing in writing before agreeing to any work.

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.

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..
