I needed a NYS inspection & decided to book an appointment online with Blue Star Brothers in…read moreGlendale, Queens. The process was super easy & the team was really professional. While I was there, they pointed out that I needed an oil change & new brake pads soon. They gave me a fair price, a quick turnaround time & even checked my battery for free! I usually stick to auto repair shops closer to Williamsburg, Brooklyn but Glendale, Queens isn't far so I'm glad I gave them a try. The service was smooth & they were upfront about everything. I'll definitely consider coming back for future car maintenance! If you're looking for trustworthy auto repair or a quick inspection in Queens, I can recommend checking them out.

So here is the thing: U wait too long and your car issue is not getting better ..the opposite is…read moretrue? Yeah, right. Like with my break pads?...oh boy! Had a hard time deciding where to get it done. My usual place, pepboyz, where no good. Didn't had the parts, didnt look to confident to fix a BMW..So I yelped my issue. Metropolitan and a few other places quoted me for a price. Actually I didn't choose him at first because others had more reviews. But after some due diligence on their reviews, talking with some on the phone or reviewing their web presence...these mechanics didn't look any more confident to me either. So I gave Vinty at Metropolitan a shot. At least the reviews he had were positive and his self bio read itself nice and assuring. I text with him back and forth about the costs. I had specific parts I wanted to be used on the car. He got it all figured out and quoted me for a really fair price. I said to my self what the hek, I gotta get it done. Can't put it off any longer. So I got an appointment with him super fast, no fuss. Showed up first thing in the morning. Mechanic puts my car on the lift and starts working wheel by wheel. I had a good feeling. Little shop, no funny attitudes. Vinty comes in a little latter, we talk, great conversation about everything and nothing. Real nice. His mechanic walks in, we have a problem..I'm like: oh boy here we go. We walk to the car. Shows me the front rotor on the wheel. Bad. Needs to be replaced. Worn down break pad ruined the rotor. Guess why.. yeap u guessed right: because I waited too long and drove on bad break pads even though my car kept prompting me to change them ASAP. So of course the promised cost now all of a sudden got much higher..not the mechanics fault. Not Vinty's fault but mine. I was there when he negotiated the replacement parts with his supplier. Yes a place like this needs to have profit from its doing..yes they always try to get the max doable...buy this place, Metropolitan, Vinty was really fair. The added on labor, parts, plus what was already done..all in all it hurt me too spent that much..more than original thought, but that only was because I waited too long to attend the original issue. Let this be a lesson to you. Don't wait around too long. Go see Vinty. Fair and honest in my opinion. What needs to get done needs to get done. The price is always fair. But if ur car reveals more than anticipated..its not the mechanics fault. And with these guys here..they don't take advantage of you should when an opportunity presents itself to up-sell, like at those fancy city garages that shark you out of any penny you've got left (been there, had that). Again, what needs to get done needs to get done. Don't wait on it. At least here you can rest assured. In all honesty, I'm happy I gave this shop a shot. - Sid

I manage company with 4 trucks. After reading Vinty's good reviews I decided to try Metropolitan…read moreAuto Service. Vinty is Metropolitan's owner. He was curious, clear and so far, has been honest. I am GM for a Mike's Air Conditioning Which uses the same for service vehicles for Air Vent Medics, our other company. To say the least we need these trucks in running order all the time. Our previous mechanic was unreliable. After resolving issues expediently, professionally, and at a fair price our 2nd truck is with Metropolitan. He's not only diagnosed & resolved issues on 2nd truck. He's obtaining certain parts used that are unnecessary to be new which was logical in that case. I agreed & will get this needed, revenue-worthy vehicle ASAP; I'm confident in him. I plan to update Yelp members & others to final jobs on all 4 vehicles. I have much much automotive experience myself & so far Vinty has been more than reasonable, intelligent & quite a decent mgr of this repair shop.

I've been going here for 2 years now.Lenny,the owner and head mechanic is such a genuine guy!…read moreThey've worked on 3 of my vehicles so far and I've had zero complaints.I've brought them my GMC truck/Chevy Monte Carlo/ and my Infiniti G35 coupe so far,and they've always been honest and provided solid work. Due to my fast paced work schedule,there's been times where I needed an inspection 5 minutes before closing and Lenny has taken it or told me to come in the morning. From oil changes to sensors to exhaust work,they do a great job for fair prices.These mechanics have no time to lie to you or take you for your money.They want the job done right,or they won't do it at all. There's been times where in the process of working on my car,they've found something that could've caused a major accident.Instead of them not telling me,Lenny would call me and always explain the situation in laymen terms so I wasn't confused or surprised by the price if he did fix the problem. When my truck wouldn't pass inspection, they did a diagnosis and told me it was because it was a high mileage engine and worn down internally.I went to another shop for a second opinion, and the other shop charged me $250 to tell me the same thing Lenny told me for $50 dollars! Also there's been times where I didn't pass inspection and they didn't charge me just because they knew my car needed to complete a drive cycle.I personally like to buy the part then pay them for the labor,but I've learned the hard way to just let them buy the parts because they never get it wrong.And they even give a year warranty on their work. These guys are fair and are my go-to auto shop.Take it from me,there's a lot of lazy thieves in the mechanic industry,but this place restored my faith in auto repair.

My nephew picked up his vehicle and he was so happy with how smoothly his car drives now. Come to find put the other mechanic (Shorty) did not attach parts correctly and lied about replacing parts. Def need more mechanics like Roger.

They said they tried reaching out to me multiple times, if they did, they never left a message. I also tried calling MULTIPLE times and they would never answer. To be fair, the staff and mechanics are very nice and respectful I told them what mini said the problem probably was, and they said it was absolutely not the problem. They tried to ask me to pay over $5,000 extra to continue to "diagnose the problem" and at that point I said no. This doesn't seem right. Took the car to my aunts trustworthy mini guy, and guess what. The problem was exactly what they said it was. Just the key fob. They also checked everything that MSpec said I should get replaced, and they did it for the smallest fee. I walked out paying $500. Go to Meadowbrook Collision in Freeport for your mini. They are amazing. Mspec unfortunately lost my business, and I feel robbed. Never again.
