Nothing could be further from the truth at Brick's Best. When I arrived at Brick's Best, I was greeted immediately by friendly faces who took my appt right on time. They invited me to have fresh coffee with cold Milk, some packaged snacks, and a sparkling clean bathroom. They diagnosed my issue in less than 10 mins and discovered another issue that I didn't expect and said they would fix that too. They promised it would be done before I left...and within an hour, it was done. They even took the initiative to replace my loose plastic engine plugs at no addl. When you go, ask for Reeves or his son, or trust anyone who works for Brick's Best. He's an old school mechanical magician with a new-school emphasized attn on customer service whether you are a motor-head or a mechanical menace like myself who relies on trusting the professionals not to rip me off!

I had an appointment and dropped my vehicle off around 1:00 PM. Around 4:20 PM, I received a call saying my car was ready. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, I discovered it had been severely damaged and was no longer drivable. Staff told me my car had been "hit while parked" in their lot. This explanation did not make sense because there was no debris or evidence of an accident, in the parking lot yet the damage was extensive. The vehicle would not accelerate, the suspension rods were broken, a tire was bent, and there were multiple mechanical issues. This level of damage is far beyond what would occur from a simple parking lot incident. Because the explanation did not add up, I contacted the police and filed a police report. I then had to use my insurance to tow the vehicle at 8:00am the next morning. Since I was far from home, my insurance arranged for the car to be towed to Caliber Collision in Bayville, NJ, and provided a rental. Caliber Collision later stated that there is no way this damage could have occurred while the vehicle was parked, which directly contradicts what I was told at Mr. Tire. Caliber Collision is extremely professional and helpful ensuring I get the help needed. There were also inconsistencies in staff statements. An employee named Nick initially said he did not test-drive my car, but later told police that he did. The manager, Mike, was disrespectful and appeared more focused on covering for staff than taking accountability. What upset me most was the lack of honesty, accountability, and basic concern. When I returned the next morning for the tow, the same employee was working as usual with no acknowledgment or apology. Along with his rude manage Mike who keeps saying my cat was hit in the parking lot and he was not even there. There was nothing wrong with my vehicle when I dropped it off. I asked for a refund from my alignment and oil changed since I never received a usable vehicle after service and was told to contact corporate. I felt humiliated, violated, and disrespected. I was devastated to know someone would do such and stand in your face and gaslight you. The lies were horrible. In addition, they stated they don't have any working cameras. Why when this is a business with many vehicles of customers. I am sharing this so other customers are aware. This experience was unacceptable, and I would not recommend this location to anyone. Integrity and professionalism should always be first when dealing with customers. And my deductible still needs to be paid for this damage. I should not have to come out of my pocket with nothing.

Greg is the head mechanic, and he is a wizard who magically diagnosed an exhaust issue by listening to my engine for a total of 10 seconds. It was amazing to witness. No computer sensors needed. Don't be intimidated by his gruff voice. He's a softy with a wry sense of humor. But, the real boss is Greg's wife, Ellen who runs the office. She keeps everybody moving, respects your time and pocketbook, and always makes sure the job gets done. Whether it is an oil change or an engine overhaul, Eagle Speed handles it all with clear communication and realistic timelines. They take walk-Ins as well. They are pet friendly and will recommend you walk a block to Dunkin' Donuts or to walk the track across the street and get some exercise while you wait. When you go, ask for Greg or Ellen or trust anyone who works for EagleSpeed. He's an old school mechanic who makes great recommendations if he can't do the job himself. He knows everyone in the business and has a stellar reputation. Whether you are a gear head or a mechanical menace like myself who relies on trusting the professionals not to rip me off, you'll be treated right at EagleSpeed Oil&Lube! I promise you that any expectations you have will be surpassed. Thank you Greg & Ellen ! Sincerely, Joe P

The end result is okay as there are window streaks, dirty wheels, mirrors always dirty or not dried etc etc. This is the first time I ever paid for the Mac daddy $32 because it was so cold out I didn't want to clean the inside myself. How can you pay $32 and not clean the mats or wipe down the door jams or move the mats and vacuum under? The manager came out after the guy washing the car alerted her and she said the mats are not included for $32 but I could pay extra $4 to have them cleaned. I guess $32 for a wash doesn't include a complete wash. I came home and basically had to wipe the entire car again and do the entire inside over. 2 stars might be generous. However if you pay for a basic outside wash only you don't feel as ripped off as you only expect so much.
