So we all think "If I was a mechanic, I wouldn't hose all these fools that dont know a carburetor…read morefrom a alternator like my mechanic does." But when it comes down to it most people would probably still add a little extra to repairing the cars of the totally clueless. For some reason Jake a Thoroughbreds appears to have taken some secret oath not to do this. This place is amazing. A small shop that doesn't inspire complete confidence from its humble exterior, Jake, the owner, and Mike handle almost all general car repairs. You can bring a car into him almost any time they are open and he will stop what he is doing, immediately take a look at your car and let you know what needs to be done. The idea of charging money or having to wait to find out what is wrong with the car is completely foreign to Jake. Now here comes the best part, if something doesn't need to be repaired or somewhere else will do it for cheaper, Jake will actually tell you that and charge you nothing. I just went into him to have my leaky radiator replaced and when I asked him about also getting new tires he said he would do it but "To be honest Alex, you are probably better off taking it to a place that specializes in tires, they will do it for less money." My mouth nearly hit the ground. It is not that Thoroughbreds is dirt cheap or some amazing free give away. They charge fair prices that are about average for the work they do BUT you will not find a place that has faster service or more genuine mechanics.

Feel like I'm giving away a golden goose by telling other people how good Jake is, but the guy…read moredeserves the extra business. Thoroughbred/Jake is: -very fair price wise -honest as far as telling you the work that NEEDS to be done (not the dealers dishonest version) -will give you cheaper alternatives/work-arounds if available. -has quick repair times and punctual with promised completion times

Tom's Automotive Specialists is amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough…read more I had a breakdown over the weekend and my regular shop was booked all week (Anita Tire in River Vale) On a recommendation, I gave Tom's Automotive a call. Mark was extremely helpful over the phone and made time to take a look at my car the same day. I was afraid it would be a larger repair (catalytic converter) but he called back within 2 hours to let me know it was the spark plugs and coils. He gave me an estimate and his recommendation along with a cheaper option, in case I couldn't afford the more expensive repair. Work was done within 24 hours with great attention to detail. Mark, Tom, and the entire team were friendly, professional, and honest. In the interests of cost, I have driven pre-owned cars most of my life so I'm no stranger to the inside of an auto shop. These guys are the best.

I found Hughes Motors Auto Repair as I was scrolling through hoping to find a good and possibly my…read morepermanent mechanic going forward as going through mechanics is a struggle I own an Alfa Romeo Stelvio so was hoping that at Hughes, they will service my car and which they did I got an oil change and a brake flush bringing in my own parts, now this was the first mechanic that required me to bring in an OEM oil filter which I found interesting to say the least but I had a good feeling so the next morning, went to get a OEM oil filter and went to Hughes. I have gotten lower estimates but I think I rather pay a little more knowing I'm in good hands and I think everyone can agree with that. Now, the staff was very welcoming and very nice so I was talking to the staff about lowering my car and doing other repairs in the future and they basically told me that I shouldn't and that a lot of mechanics will turn away modified cars due to their geometry and needing a special lift.. but I am still going to haha, I'm a little stubborn so hopefully they will still service my car in the future and be my permanent mechanic going forward! Extra things to note, they do have a waiting room and they offer things to eat and drink!

I guess if you're not doing big money jobs, you're low priority. Came in here to do a simple…read morebattery replacement. Let me just say that I've been coming here for YEARS and have spent thousands since I had another car that I serviced. It's been convenient and most of the mechanics are friendly and knowledgeable. Today, I had a different experience. First off, the guy at the front (I won't say any names) is rude. It takes nothing to say hello back to someone who came in and said hello. Anyway, came in to do a battery replacement. Everything was done and as I was walking to the office, I see my car....left UNATTENDED WITH THE HOOD UP and my car still running for several minutes. He just left it there like that. I walked to the office (hood was still up). Stood there waiting to get my bill and keys (hood still up) Mind you...it's a rainy day. This kid was negligent with my property. I don't know if me being a woman alone made that acceptable but it's not. Big or small job, it's business and you treat everyone's property and them with respect. Then after seeing my car left on with the hood up, I make them aware of it and then I paid and left. As I was driving, my USB/anti theft system was not working. Screen blank. Not only was he negligent with my property....he didn't finish the job. You have to reboot the anti theft system for that and the USB/screen controls to work. I was more than willing to tip the guy since I know they don't make much on batteries but after that experience, no. You don't just put a battery in...you need to reboot the system. Today was EXTREMELY disappointing and needless to say, I will go elsewhere from now on. Maybe give JJ a bit more training.

After my trusted mechanic closed shop I was roaming the area finding mechanics that I just didn't feel comfortable with. I drive past Norwood car care every day and on the way to work. One day a few years back I hit the annoying RR Crossing on Old Hook and my exhaust just gave out. I limped into their shop and was in and out quickly and for way less than I assumed after internet pricing the exhaust parts. Since then they have been my go to for oil changes, repairs, etc. My latest used car purchase needed tons of suspension work which they did very well and for a fair price. I recently dropped the car off for a major repair, I was out of town and approved the estimated cost to repair the worst case scenario before they even looked at the car. Once the car was apart they called me to let me know it was not as bad and gave me the actual estimate. They had the opportunity and my OK to bill me for much more, but didn't take advantage of me. I feel comfortable leaving my cars there, and happy to have found a new shop I can finally trust.
