I cannot believe that I haven't review this place until now. I have been a regular customer even before Jay and Steve took over this place which was over 20+ years. I've brought my fifth car to Jay and Steve. Some were used and some were new. Jay has been the most honest mechanic I ever met and he really does take care of you and your car. We bring our cars for an inspection and oil change whenever we can ( We moved so we live far from his business.) since he inspect the cars so I can fix it before it gets major issue. We tried to use someone local but they told me one thing when Jay told me what I really needed. I really value his honesty and his skill as a mechanic. Let me tell you that he might not be the most friendliest person at first but he is really nice person once you get to know him. I tried not to be biased but I guess I am since I drive an hour to bring my cars to him. I recommend him if you want a mechanic who is honest and good at what he does. read more

Steve and Jay are great! I've relied on them for years! Good, honest guys doing amazing work for reasonable prices.

I was introduced to this shop by a coworker and I've been going there ever since I love how attentive they are to the customers they meet beyond expectations and they care. They just don't want the money prices are reasonable and jay is always a pleasure work with read more

One of my biggest stressors in life is finding a good doctor and finding a good mechanic. I'm so thankful that I was able to tackle one of those problems. This place is an absolute treasure. I spoke to the owner about a sound I was concerned about coming from my car. He was able to take me in the same day! He offered to take a look at the car which took about 10 minutes. Afterwards, he explained to me that the issue doesn't affect the functionality of the car and if I want to get it fixed, I could but it's not necessary. I really appreciated the honesty and transparency as I would have trusted him even if he told me it was a major repair issue and would've paid for it anyways. It's difficult as a female to get a trustworthy mechanic that does not try to take advantage of you so I'm glad to have found this place. read more

Very knowledgeable and courteous They don't rip you off but give you honest estimates and good repairs. read more

Recently, I experienced that my vehicle was leaking oil and researched a reputable establishment to fix the problem. I consulted with Jay by phone and in person and claimed that he could do the job. After being charged $800, the leaking didn't stop. I spoke to Jay, and he tried again. Then, when he couldn't get it done the second time, he recommended going to people who specialize with problems like my car has. I'm back with what I started. read more

Jay and Steve are awesome, quick, and provide excellent customer service. My tires and rims were stolen off my Honda Accord Sport the other day and when I called them, they made me feel better considering my situation, as they provided as much guidance as they could. They kept me in the loop and updated me frequently as I had to go through insurance. These guys are great and I would highly recommend them for any auto issue. read more

I know that I can come to this place alone with my car and not fear getting ripped off because I'm a woman. The review is long overdue but I initially found this place on Yelp and I decided to check this place out. The first time I went, I brought my husband along because I never want to go to garage without a man because many years ago a garage tried to rip me off so I have learned from experience not to go alone. This was before Yelp existed and I'm so glad it exists now because I would have not known about this place. I met the owner who was there and he seems like a decent human being and my husband also thinks so and he's a good judge of character more than I'll ever be. He was straight into the point and told me what was wrong and how much it cost and he didn't try to push anything on me or try to upsell anything on me, and they had the car fixed a lot faster than I expected. Not that I was going to complain if I had to wait because it is a car, but they gave me an estimated time and they actually called me earlier then the estimated time to let me know it was done. Needless to say I returned to have my car checked up, I had to return alone this time and I was still nervous ever since that other garage tried to rip me off many years ago. But the owner was there and he was really nice about everything and also told me how I would be needing new tires. He never try to rush me or make it sound like it was the complete end of the world if I didn't buy the tires RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT. I ended up buying the tires anyway because I was going on a long trip and again the service was faster than I expected. I was also pleasantly surprised one day because before I brought the car into the shop I didn't have any more windshield wiper fluid and when I went to fill it up, it was actually full and they had secretly refilled it for me and I had no idea. I will always be coming back to this garage for any car maintenance or any car issues and I will recommend this garage to anybody who has car issues. read more

I'll be very blunt, been a long time regular customer here at this garage. From time to time due to circumstances have used other places over the years (out of state on the road etc.) and nobody beats the Pit. You don't have to be an auto hobbyist like me to gauge this, they do a great job of diagnosing the problem and fixing it. Parts they get are OEM equivalent and if you want or have to get dealer parts, they don't do a crazy mark up. Labor rates are fair and honest from these guys. I used to religiously go to the dealership back before my Pit days. Didn't think the quality of work would be worth if the non manufacturer certified guys charged a lot (had some bad ones I've run across over the years, and thankfully most of them went out of business.) Back to that point they've been around a long time and do great work. Steve is a walking Car database. Jae is super dude too. Some of the staff have turned over the years but the work has still been great results. Never made me do something I didn't need to even when they could. Integrity in your mechanic, that's something you don't find most shops. So bout time I gave them a review they deserve the recognition. Support your local mechanic! read more

Flushing...another auto repair place...as common as a soup dumpling joint right? WRONG! By far the best service garage in Flushing! SAVE thousands by NOT going to your dealership! Steve the owner goes out of his way to do whatever is necessary to help you and at great value! Got car problems, leave PIT STOP with everything fixed! Had a blown bulb in my license plate area and he fixed it with out asking and didn't charge me...topped my fluids no charge! I never asked for that but he provided! Seven stars if I could! read more

Called a few days before and found they don't do appointments which is in my favor. I came in as soon as they opened so I was the first. I cant speak much about how crowded it gets after that. So it looks like your typical mechanic's garage. I asked the mechanic if he can check a few things out on my car. Long story short, he took his time to check everything in detail and the one thing he didn't check said it was risky to fix and would have cost $400-$500. Overall even after checking everything, I wasn't swindled into buying and or to prematurely replace anything. All I ended up getting was an oil change and he even let me used my own oil filter without complaint or extra charge. Overall, straight to the point no hand holding and most important of all HONEST auto shop. I will be coming back. read more

Second time around here and looks like this place will be my TO-GO spot for my Astro Van. First time I went, they changed my tires. Years later, I decided to go back and this time I had them swap out my old Wheels/Rims for new ones. They even went out of their way to get the proper lug nuts for safety! They didn't just slap the old improper ones back on and called it a day. I was going from STEEL RIMS to ALLOY RIMS so the lug nuts are different. They did such a great job, I highly recommend them! They informed me of everything that was needed for my vehicle and allowed me to make my decision. They respect the customer and I respect them. Ask for Jay or Steve when you go there. Will go there again and again! 5 stars!! read more

The owners are honest and friendly; always looking to help you. I've gone here a few times and I feel very comfortable with them fixing my car. I know I'll get great service for a reasonable price. They should be your new mechanic. read more

Steve is the most honest, professional, knowledgeable and definitely experienced! Highly highly recommended!!

Picking out your go-to garage is like picking out a strip club; the shadier the better. Pit Stop Garage is a shady looking shack on the corner of Murder St and Rape Ln. I've been here for general inspections, state inspections, and whatever potential problem my paranoid brain could think of. You don't need to wait long for service here, unless you come on the first weekend of the month. They are honest and to the point. Other garages were ready to tell me how imminent my doom is if I don't cough up 500 bucks to fix every scratch on my car, but the guys here will give you a humanly reasonable analysis. They could have gotten a lot of money from me poaching my paranoia but so far, it has only been a few oil changes and recommendations on future checkup times. read more

Best place for ALL your car needs. I've been going to this location for 20 years. First when it was John's Auto Body and then when John left, I felt no need to change and worked with Jay and Steve. Now honestly for the first few years, it was just inspection once a year, oil change 3000 miles and a tune up and routine maintenance. But then I got a company car (2003 PT Cruiser) with a dashboard that lights up like the Times Square on NYE with problems. Every time I drive in, Jay and Steve are courteous, nice, professional and honest. They quote you a fair and reasonable price and If the cost is ever more than what they quoted, they'll call you before they start anything. If its more cost effective to go down to Citi Field, they will advise you to do that too!! ( uh yeah I'll take that $50 rim and tire at Citi Field than $200 for a new one Thank you!!!) They know I have a company card and that I can charge whatever work I want but they have never suggested I fix anything other than what I need. I've actually heard them tell me "this car is only worth $2000. you don't want to spend $???? on the car. its just not worth it" I mean Who says that? read more

Still the best place...honest, easy and patient! I'm not very car savvy and they owners are always happy to explain the problem. I always feel better to be in the know! read more

Great guys that work here that are honest and fair with pricing. If your car is in need of work, drop by here and have them give it a look over. Jay and Steve will take care of you. Both of these guys will actually take the time to explain the problem with your car to you instead of just looking to make a buck off you. I've been coming here for many years and I send all my family and friends here as well. read more

This garage totally saved the day! I was forty weeks pregnant (due any day) when the driver's side window came off its track and wouldn't close. If we couldn't get it fixed before I went into labor, we would have to take an Uber from Queens into Manhattan, and with my history of fast labors, I was worried I would have the baby in the back of a strange car! My husband went to Pit Stop first thing next morning. They diagnosed the problem, ordered the part, and managed to get it there a couple hours later. They fixed the window same day and the price was really fair. I was one relieved momma! Thank you Pit Stop Garage! read more

Our family has been going to Pit Stop for years and they are the best! Jay and Steve are incredibly kind, helpful and trustworthy in addition to being highly skilled and knowledgeable. We stop by anytime we have questions and they'll be the first to tell you if repairs are unnecessary or not worth doing. We wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I walked in to get ask about a possible repair to my Hyundai. The manager saw me walk in (NO Greeting) and continued to walk around with the phone to his ear. After asking others who was in charge. The manager finally decided he could be bothered. Only to completely blow me off. "We don't do this type of work" But if we did. It would cost $2,500 -$3,000! I have received quotes for the same repair at other shops for between $1,000 - $1,600 i will inquire with the BBB about this business. read more

I found this business through YELP. The owner, Steve, was incredibly out of this world. Kind of hard to believe he existed. Steve was friendly, honest, and professional. You can tell that he is a fair and honest man. The prices he charges are very reasonable. Also, very important to me was that the shop was very user friendly for women. The mechanics were very respectful. I highly recommend that you use this auto shop. read more

Steve and Jay are very professional mechanics. My wife's car had damaged swaybar end links and they replaced both for $170. I came on a Monday, jay diagnosed the problem and ordered the parts. I came back the day after for the labor. Everything was on time and proficient. Highly recommended. 2010 Nissan Altima. read more

I have used this garage a couple of times now, and I'd say the other reviewers are right. This is a legit place that won't try to scam you. My car inspection was done super fast and with no shake downs. Love that! Oil changes are also done pretty quickly and they always check your tires at the same time. Mine needed air and was taken care of without an extra charge. I will be back here whenever my cars need service. read more

After another garage in the Island tried to rip me off, I drove all the way out to Pit Stop Garage to get a second opinion. Truth be told Steve gave me his honest & professional opinion on what's not, and what my vehicle really need. Not only was the work done in timely manner, but with very reasonable pricing for top notch job. I regard not going to Pit Stop in the first place, and if not for Pit Stop I would have been lied to and cheated off by some local place around my block. Lesson learned, once you find a good and honest place like Pit Stop Garage, don't go else where just because it is closer. I could have saved myself un-necessary wasted time & agony if I just went to Pit Stop in the first place....Once again THANK YOU STEVE for being honest & doing such great job! read more

Probably my favorite auto shop. Steve is one of the workers that are very knowledgeable, honest, and committed when it comes to cars. Even when I take my car to a different shop I end up giving Steve a call just to double check with him about my car issues. Great service, good price, and unlike most places they don't rip you off! read more

Came here through a friend's recommendation. Honest mechanics, fixes and maintenance are taken care of quickly, and they are accommodating of my schedule. They will confirm all pricing before they purchase parts and start work on your car so you know what to expect. read more

solid, honest shop - what more can you want from a mechanic? prices are fair, the guys are nice, the service is what you would expect from a shop who put their customers first - a rarity at mechanic shops their work is solid and good - not sloppy like some shops where you can totally tell they did a rush job they also do inspections and credit cards are accepted here as well read more

Honest, Knowledgable, Integrious, Auto Mechanics. We were able to afford repairs on a vehicle donated to us for minimal cost for our child's medical appointments, Pit Stop did an amazing job repairing the vehicle within our budget. Thank You Steve & Jay. read more

My daughter was driving our newly service Acura from Maine to Montreal when the transmission light went on. Zaven kindly took her in at the end of the business day right before the New Year's holiday (when other garages were closed). Communicating almost daily by phone and figuring out the problem (excess, bad transmission fluid), he had my daughter and car back on the road for a flawless return drive. I'm grateful to the smart, professional, kind guys who run this terrific garage! read more

Since I found these guys thru Yelp, it's only fair I add to their reviews. Came in for the annual NY inspection and oil change. They found an issue with my brakes and explained several possibilities and options - the worse of which would have required a return trip to replace the entire caliper. Nonetheless, they took the time to inspect the various parts (I was watching them and they had no issues showing me what they were doing) and eventually concluded that a simple brake pad replacement should fix it. From chatting with Steve, they are a very honest business and mainly rely on word-of-mouth for their customers, so I'm pretty certain they're not out to gouge anyone. Very reasonable rates with knowledgeable mechanics. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends / families for future car issues. read more

I took my Pontiac Vibe to Steve for an oil change and asked him to also check some vibrations in the car. He diagnosed the vibration as engine mounts and then recommended no action. Definitely a shop I've grown to trust over the past year and always know I'll also get a fair price. I'll be taking my car back to them for any future work. read more

Changed a starter there, pretty good service, not bad at all, will go there next time. Price is reasonable in NYC(Way too high compared to Indiana)...Haha. read more

I went looking for a mechanic I could trust. Reviews don't lie, this place is amazing. Great and honest customer service. They serviced my Acura tsx and in the end gave me a fair price. Would have paid triple at Paragon Acura and not have gotten the excellent Customer service. Thank you Jay!! read more

Honest and efficient! Mechanics are professional and knowledgeable. I've been going there for years. Thanks for saving me in many ways!

Talk about honest good people...Hard to find especially in the auto body industry. I've been coming to this auto body shop for over 9yrs (starting from the previous owner) and I won't go anywhere else. Love the service, love the people...5 stars all the way!! read more

I have taken all my cars here since they started doing business. I never trusted any mechanic prior to them. They are honest and fair. They are courteous and extremely pleasant to all their customers. Highly recommended. read more

I've been coming to this place for a few years now, and they always do an incredible job. Steve and Jay are super friendly , accommodating, and professional. I've always left very satisfied with the work done. The prices are also very fair. I'd recommend this place to anybody, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. read more

Awesome guys. Fast, friendly and super efficient. Bring your vehicle for anything you need. You will not be disappointed.

This is an excellent garage. The owners are super honest and will not try to sell you services you don't need. I started to bring my 10 year old Camry there upon recommendation of a friend and have not been disappointed. I had been bringing my Camry to the dealership for inspections once every six months. It always cost at least $75 and sometime as much as $550 for the major service. Last visit Pit Stop for an inspection and oil change was $30. Should have started going there a long time ago. Probably would have been able to afford a nicer car with all the saved money. read more
