I've been using Vanderveer's for over 15 years. I started back when Jim and Bob ran the place, and…read moreI continue to use them now that Pete is in charge. They have *always* been fair and trustworthy. Before using Vanderveer, I had used various garages up and down Route 9. I'm sure that in those days I sometimes (often?) ended up paying for service that wasn't needed. But at Vanderveer Pete explains my options, and always tries to save me money. The expertise of Pete and his mechanics is unequaled. Here's one example, of many: Recently I had a check engine code on my 2002 Honda which said the problem was caused by a faulty distributor. But Pete described an experience he had many years ago where similar symptoms were caused by the alternator. He offered me the choice of replacing the distributor or the alternator. Having been impressed with Pete's expertise in the past, I went with his suggestion of replacing the alternator. That did the trick. The car ran great after that. The fact that the car had the original 18 yo alternator helped to make it a pretty easy choice - I had been thinking of replacing it just out of caution. But the fact remains that Pete was right in his diagnosis. You don't get that level of experience or expertise at just any garage.

I can't believe it was so quick and painless and everyone was so friendly! 10/10 I recommend to anyone

Helen was busy so said she'd call with breakdown since couldn't print out. When she called I Said would only able to do one job at time cose$199 . I said I wouldn't be getting other work since didn't seem necessary at time. When I picked up car was charged over $600. The manager kept giving all sorts of excuses and Helen was nowhere to be found. He said he didn't have to honor price because I didn't have printed price and he couldn't find any paperwork stating $199. Having my car hostage I payed figuring I could settle with Helen later . All of a sudden he found the papers but wouldn't reimburse me and whenever I called Helen wasn't available. I report them to BBB, they ignored them. Insult to injury I was told the work wasn't necessary.

A little over a year ago I bought a Camry second-hand from a friend and have usually taken it to…read morethe AAA in Eatontown for general maintenance work. The last time I had an oil change they ran the codes and told me that I would have to get my entire catalytic converter and leaky radiator replaced or I would fail my next inspection, and quoted me $2300. So when the check engine light popped at EXACTLY the right time to cause my inspection to fail, I panicked and assumed that I would have to throw a ton of money at my poor little car to keep it street legal... ...enter Bradley's Auto Service, who diagnosed it as a simple exhaust leak. For less than the price of what AAA quoted me for the radiator alone they repaired the leak, replaced the radiator, and re-inspected the car (it passed this time, wooohooo!) in one afternoon. Now I don't have to worry about being pulled over, having poor commuters get stuck behind me while merging on the parkway because it takes fifteen minutes to get up enough inertia to go the speed limit, or waking up the whole neighborhood while driving down the street. And the whole thing has stopped shaking like it's about to explode which is a nice perk too I guess. Thank you Bradley's Auto! I am eternally grateful for your honesty and efficiency. Everyone always tells me that I can potentially get another 100k miles out of this car if I have it cared for properly and I was incredibly skeptical until today. What a huge relief.
