It was a complex and frustrating issue, but Steve walked me through the entire diagnosis process in real time. In constant contact, responsive, and completely transparent, Steve sent photos and videos of the engine, explaining what was wrong and how it had to be fixed, step by step. Completely transparent with pricing and progress of the repair-- clear, fair, honest. Steve is the man, he will do you right.

A big ripoff. When I got the car back, I brought it down to my mechanic Chris to have a new radiator installed. He checked the repair work that was done by Shell gas station and he told me that the mechanic didn't install a new gasket with the thermostat. This is really basic stuff. My mechanic charges $50.00 dollars for the same repair. I was in a hurry and never should have come here. I read some of the other reviews and they seem to have no credibility. I personally would never recommend them to anyone. STAY AWAY!

I've never had to get my own car serviced and repaired before so I wanted to know that I was in good hands. I went on facebook and asked the harbor point group what people recommended for auto repair and the great reviews of scottys caught my eye. I called up scottys and they let me know they were booked for the next 2 days (it was the first) but they said to drop it off and that they would do their best to look at it beforehand. sure enough I got a call the next day with a breakdown of what needed to be done. They gave me an estimate which was HALF WHAT THE JEEP DEALER QUOTED US, plus it didnt include some of the nonsensical stuff they suggested to fix that scottys said did not need to be done. ultimately they were able to get everything done before we headed out for vacation. when I went to go pick it up, they had admitted there was a communication error and that it wasnt ready just yet and that it would be another hour or so. I mentioned that I had just took an uber and had a lot of other things to try to work on and to see if they could try to give me an accurate time estimate. the guy there (isaac i think) just handed me a set of keys and said heres a loaner ill call you! that alone made this a 6 star experience! talk about admitting to a mistake and making up for it with phenomenal service. anywho, i know where ill be getting my oil changed moving forward! thank you guys!

Is 0 stars possible?…read more I went to this place by accident after confusing it with universal auto body (who does a solid job by the way), to get my brakes inspected. After telling me they were going to waive the diagnosis fee, they took three hours to diagnose the problem and falsely told me I needed to get multiple different things replaced, costing over $2800. After telling them I was going to try and get a 2nd opinion, they charged me $180+ just for the diagnosis. I am now getting it fixed at another place for less than $1000. These guys are thieves!

This service station may not always give you a FULL diagnostic report…read more My most recent visit I was told my car needed one repair and upon receiving my vehicle I was told it was also going to need another repair that cost more than the first repair! This "new problem" of course happened after I paid for the first repair. The head mechanic does not have a strong grasp of the English language and was rude, impatient, and has no compassion towards his customers. I had spoken with the owner about my bad experience with his mechanic and an apology never came. Lesson Learned. Always get a second opinion because when I took my vehicle to another service station, they couldn't understand how the Gulf could have "missed" the other repairs needed. Don't make the same mistake I did and waste DAYS of your time. Disclaimer: The repair that the Gulf completed on my vehicle was done correctly.

The mechanic and owner John Lehaney both admitted to breaking two of our very expensive exhaust catalytic converter flex pipes, while repairing our initial problem but would not take responsibility for the damage they caused... Dealer cost to repair $3900.00!!!! The problem they caused also made us fail our emission test. This was for sure the biggest headache we ever experienced with an independent garage. STAY AWAY!!!!

This is without a doubt the most significant review I've ever left for a local business. After a…read morecar accident, my insurance referred me to Lobalbo's business for repairs. As a first time customer I was reliant on the advice of my insurer to lead me into the trusting hands of the seldom found honest auto repair specialist. Well, I finally found one: Lobalbo Brothers in Stamford. I walked in with a humble vehicle that needed a little attention and walked out with a million dollar roadster (or at least I think so) at no extra cost to me. These gentlemen went out of their way numerous times, during the one week stay that my car was in their care, to assure that I would be wowed. And I was!!! I asked for absolutely nothing and they gave me everything!! Lobalbo Brothers deserve your attention and your car deserves theirs. I am extremely happy for their thoughtful and kind services and for their generosity towards my car. This company is a family-owned treasure trove and we have got to support them so they never go away. And please know that I left this review because I wanted to and not because anyone asked or paid me to. If you take your car elsewhere and they do you wrong, bring it to Lobalbo's and you'll be happy you did. Thank u again B. Roman

Has anyone mentioned to you lately that Nico is a crook? If not, just remember that. If so, spread…read morethe word. He is a crook. Read my previous review and make sure you never let anyone you care about trust him with their vehicle. He will lie to you, take your money and knowingly leave your car unsafe because you'll need to keep coming back for more service... and act like he's helping you out by scamming you and putting your life in danger. He cares about money before he cares about you. All dealerships do too... but at least it is in their best interest to solve your problems. Nico's business is more about perpetuating them or simply creating new ones. DON'T BE FOOLED.

As stated in another review Joe is extremely well-trained and skilled at diagnostics and auto repair. Although they are foremost BMW and Audi experts, they can easily handle any make/model. They love working on Italian cars, btw. Agree that they are a hidden gem for auto repair! They are very, very trustworthy; repair estimates and costs are always very fair, if not under the market. I love these guys and recommend them highly. We own 5 cars and they service all of them (Toyota, Honda (2), Fiat, Subaru...Volvo and Ford in the past). You will not be disappointed. I would give them 6 stars if it were possible!
