Avoid - Payless Auto Repair Center (Staten Island) My…read more70-year-old mother brought her car here for what appeared to be a simple muffler bracket issue that was causing noise. The shop told her the entire muffler system had to be replaced and instructed her to pay cash, charging her $580. After the "repair," the car was worse than before. Strong exhaust fumes were entering the cabin, making her light-headed, and the check engine light came on, which had never happened prior to their work. When I returned with her to address the issue, the mechanic never used any diagnostic equipment but immediately blamed an O2 sensor. He also told my mother he did not charge sales tax, yet the paperwork clearly shows tax was included. This experience was deceptive, fraudulent, and like a complete rip-off, especially toward an elderly customer. Instead of fixing the problem, the shop charged a large amount of cash and left the vehicle in a dangerous condition which it did not arrive in.

Sandy hit on me immediately telling me I had to "give him a hug". So I ignored it, but then when I came to back pick up the car later he said it again!!! I said something really stupid because I was on the spot and just couldn't think fast enough and I regretted it as soon as I said it. I said, "I charge for hugs" so his response was to say well "then I'll get a massage too" EWWW!!!! and YUCK!!! On top of that he said I had an exhaust leak, which I knew I did, but it was a minor one and he charged me $190 to weld in a new pipe because he said it wouldn't pass inspection without it, which I guess is also reasonable, but I am pretty sure whatever he did is starting to go bad again already. I can hear it starting to go again... He also tried to tell me I needed struts and all kinds of other stuff that I am pretty sure I don't need and gave me exorbitant rates to fix them. Needless to say I will never be going back there again.

Nothing prepared us for this ordeal. Just to reiterate, we have been to many garages in many towns and cities in this country. This was the worst experience Ever. Simply unbelievable. Minus 10 stars. Never use this car repair garage.

We used them twice, a rear end collision on my wife's Subaru and a deer strike to the front of a…read moreToyota. Both times they were quick with the fix, the Subaru turned out better. I had to go back for a second bumper clip for the Toyota and it still was aligned slightly off. For the most part it's good enough, as it's been over a year without issues. They do a great job matching paint, I can't tell a difference between the front and back bumpers. As for parts, they go cheap when quality after market ones are unavailable, due to our insurance companies contract. More recently I needed a new front grill, which I purchased an OEM independently. They looked at the front of the car and said it needed a bumper, grill and a few other parts and paint for slightly over $1,000. Also, I would need to sign a waiver to skip calibrating collision sensor. I ended up taking it to a mechanic, and they replaced the grill for $70. Because no one disassembled the entire front, they nor I could prove the status of the inside arms of the bumper. Even if they are damaged, it's still holding, which is good enough. The plastic on the bumper was flimsy to begin with and the position looks the same as the photos taken when they finished the original repair. For now, I consider it completed and my cruise control has stopped flaking out at high speed. In this case I received a quote from the methodology that makes them respected for handling repairs, but it was not what I wanted to do.
