I've been a long-time customer of this Farmingdale location of Mavis, but over the past few years…read moremy experience has changed significantly and not for the better. I keep detailed service records, and a clear pattern has emerged of recommendations that don't align with normal wear and tear: **Wiper blades flagged at every inspection: ** I was told my wiper blades needed to be replaced to pass NYS inspection in 2024, 2025, and 2026... three years in a row. While wipers do wear out, failing inspection for the same item every single year is questionable. **Tires labeled "dry rotted" far too early: ** -On my Honda Civic, tires purchased in 2022 with only ~11,000 miles were deemed "dry rotted" and replaced in 2026. -On a second vehicle (Honda CR-V), tires were again described as "dry rotted" at replacement time, despite being regularly driven. While those had higher mileage and may have been due for replacement, the repeated use of "dry rot" as the explanation is concerning. **Major suspension work recommended but contradicted by another shop: ** During my most recent visit, I was advised that my vehicle needed struts and additional suspension work. I declined and took the car to a separate, reputable repair shop for a second opinion. After a full inspection, they found no issues requiring replacement and confirmed everything was in normal condition with no safety concerns. **Repeated or questionable services: ** I've also had rear shocks replaced twice (2020 and 2025) with relatively low mileage between, along with multiple flush services and add-ons that seem to be recommended frequently. Before around 2022, my visits here were straightforward and I trusted the guidance I received. Since then, nearly every inspection has come with multiple recommended repairs that feel inconsistent with the vehicle's condition and usage. To be clear, I understand that maintenance is necessary and I'm willing to pay for legitimate repairs. The concern is the consistency and accuracy of what's being recommended. When multiple items--from wipers to tires to suspension are repeatedly flagged in ways that don't align with typical wear, it becomes difficult to trust the advice being given. I would strongly encourage anyone visiting this location to seek a second opinion before approving repairs, especially for higher-cost items. Unfortunately, what was once a reliable shop now feels focused more on maximizing sales than providing trustworthy, needs-based service.

Marie, who runs the shop, was incredibly professional and kind. She kept me informed every step of the way and acted as the intermediary with the insurance company, which made everything so much easier for me and my family. What truly sets Marie apart is her determination and advocacy; she won't let insurance companies bully the customer. She made it clear that insurance companies are there to serve the customer, not the other way around. Her expertise in navigating the complexities of New York and New Jersey insurance was invaluable. I truly can't recommend them enough; they're the best I've ever worked with!

I've recently taken my car for an inspection, a tire rotation even a battery change elsewhere and no one else noticed anything. They did the job I asked to do, no more no less. Needless to say I changed my oil, bought new tires and will be back to change the fan belt. It's better to be safe than sorry. Thanks Goodyear of Farmingdale!
