SCAM BEWARE !!! CON ARTISTS !!! SCAM BEWARE !!! CON ARTISTS !!!…read more I brought in my 2023 Hyundai Tuscon to Lee Myles when the check engine light went on (30,000+ miles). Two days later, Steve categorically informed me that it needed a new Catilitic (sp?) converter and would cost over $3,000 plus labor, which he was adding up for me before letting me respond in anyway. I did a simple online search to find that C-converters on a 2023 Tuscon do not typically need to be changed until well over 100,000 miles, and in the event the check engine light does go on before then, having it merely cleaned (putting $13 liquid in the gas tank) solves the issue 85% of the time. Steve failed to mention any of that, express any surprise whatsoever that the converter was failing so early, or offer any of the other remedies that are available and far less costly that replacement. Also, please note - if you read the positive reviews here on Yelp! the similarities are glaring and undoubtably fabricated by Steve or the owner to balance out the honest negative reviews. These guys are straight up con-artists - avoid at all costs !!!!!!

Two places in LIC couldn't do it- ok fine. But the actual Mitsubishi dealership/ repair shop in woodside couldn't - had us leave the car there for two weeks and still didn't do it! Finally, we came here because of some post we found on Reddit, and it was so easy, they had it done in an hour or so- all they had to do was contact the DMV- they had the direct number to the correct department and show the guy a picture that the car passed and bam, I had my inspection sticker. Plus I went back another time to have them actually work on some things like the brakes and they were great- they gave me an accurate estimate and adhered to it, and I got my car back in a few days. Highly recommend this place.

This business deserves no stars. I am only forced to select one star in order to leave this review,…read morewhich I strongly disagree with. I am posting this review regarding an engine replacement performed by G & A Auto Diagnostic Wheel Alignment Center Inc. that has resulted in ongoing mechanical problems, safety concerns, and unresolved financial issues. On January 24, 2026, I paid $7,067.15 for an engine replacement. Immediately after leaving the shop (within approximately 2,000 feet), the engine began backfiring and the check engine light came on. When I contacted the mechanic, I was told to "break the engine in" and informed the engine came from a junkyard with an unknown history. The next day, I discovered a significant oil leak. I reported it and was told to return the following week despite the severity of the issue. Since then, I have had to return multiple times due to persistent problems that remain unresolved. I am currently unable to drive normally without repeatedly clearing the check engine light, raising ongoing safety concerns. I was later told the engine had not been tested prior to installation, which in my view is a major deviation from standard repair practice. After all these months, the mechanic (JR Cisneros) has now presented three options: 1. Remove the engine, issue reimbursement, and allow me to source another engine for him to install, while still charging labor costs 2. Wait for the one junkyard supplier this business uses to locate a replacement engine 3. Keep the defective engine and have him rebuild it for a separate labor fee Additional issues include: * Disconnected wires hanging beneath the transmission * Incorrect battery terminal installed, creating safety risks * Flywheel sold as new but appearing old and rusted * Charges for parts that may not have been necessary, as original components were reportedly reusable * A recently purchased alternator found to be damaged after the repair Communication has been inconsistent, with limited meaningful updates despite multiple attempts to follow up. I was eventually given options not disclosed at the time of service, including engine removal with conditional reimbursement dependent on a third party, an indefinite wait for a replacement, or paying additional costs for a rebuild. As a result, I have incurred additional transportation costs and lost income opportunities due to the lack of a functioning vehicle. My request for a full refund and reimbursement remains unresolved. Based on my experience, I would advise caution when considering major engine work from this shop due to unresolved mechanical issues, lack of transparency, and ongoing safety concerns.
