Guys who work there gather around desk and shoot the breeze about all kinds of stuff, in view of customers who are waiting for their cars. Very unprofessional. Would definitely not recommend going here.

They asked me a couple questions and advised me that they'll be happy to take care of my vehicle. I noticed that they had my wife's favorite plant on the counter which was full of positive energy (see picture). It was reassuring to see such care and attention paid to the customer experience and a place like a tire shop. They cared so much about the customer waiting to include healthy plants, then they will most likely do the same with my vehicle. They They were able to repair the tire and recommended an alignment after completing a courtesy safety inspection. I authorized the work and was back on the road in no time flat. Thanks again to Denny, Toni and the whole crew at Mavis in Tuckerton, NJ.

I rarely leave 1-star reviews, but my experience with Lube DrX in Manahawkin was extremely…read moredisappointing. I normally change my own oil, but because I didn't have access to my tools for a few months, I brought my vehicle here for an oil change. When it came time for the next oil change and I went to remove the engine splash shield, I discovered that two holes had been cut into it--one below the oil filter and another below the drain plug. I had replaced this splash shield in 2022, and there was no reason for it to have holes cut into it. Removing the shield properly requires taking out about 15 bolts, so it appears someone may have taken a shortcut rather than removing it as designed. I emailed the Lube DrX with photos of the damage and the cost of replacing the splash shield, simply asking that they reimburse me for the damage. After five days with no response, I called and was met only with, "We would not do that." When I explained that I certainly didn't cut the holes myself and the vehicle had only been to their shop for an oil change, the response was repeated: "We would not do that." Can I prove they did it? No. But the circumstantial evidence certainly points in that direction, and I was disappointed that they wouldn't even have a conversation about it or review the photos. If the technicians were having difficulty removing the splash shield, I wish they had simply asked me first. I would have declined the work and taken the vehicle elsewhere rather than have parts of my car permanently damaged. Now I'm out the cost of another splash shield. Should have went to Valvoline but wanted to save a few bucks. Lesson learned--you often get what you pay for.

BEWARE: Parkertown Car Care…read more I brought my jeep in for an alignment and had gear lube leaking from the front axle. I was quoted $750-$800 for the job including replacing a u-joint as they recommended. After being pushed off each day, I finally got my jeep back a week later "fixed and riding well". I went to pickup and was hit with an $1,100 bill as they replaced the other u-joint as well. I walk out to my jeep and one of my hub caps is missing, Nick claims it somehow was already missing a bolt when I brought it in and it's only secured with two bolts so he left it in the cab (not sure how it would've been attached with one bolt missing when I dropped it off, but whatever it's one bolt) 2 minutes into my drive home, the steering wheel is shaking hard and I thought ok, I have to bring it back to readjust the alignment. I go out to my jeep the next morning and there's gear oil on my driveway leaking from the same spot as when I first dropped it off. At this point, I realize the shop is likely incompetent for this type of repair and I start worrying what other bolts/screws are missing that I can't see. The opposite hub cap has mismatched bolts, and the back hub was tightened too much and cracked. I go back to the shop and offer to pay for the u-joints parts + labor and any parts/oil they used to "fix" my leak but request my money back for the labor that went into a repair that is no better than when I first dropped it off. I no longer trust their competence in opening my jeep back up. Nick tells me the owner is off in the Bahamas and won't check his phone for another week, so I'm out of a car until then unless I'd like him to try and fix it again. Nick is a really nice guy, but I think he bit off more than he could chew with the repair. I wish they would've told me that from the start, or owned up to providing poor workmanship. I'm now out $1,100 and have to pay another shop for all of the same repairs. I'm sure they could handle an oil change, but anything more than that I would not advise bringing your vehicle here.

I am mechanically inclined to am extent like doing my own tune ups and oil changes even some minor hose and part replacement. But i leave the bigger jobs up to the pros. Most recently, however, my fiance and i brought our 1997 Honda civic in to have the exhaust pipe welded back onto the catalytic converter. It just so happens at the same time the alternator went. I remembered the great service i received when they fixed my jetta years prior so i figured I'd use them again rather then parkertown and i must say im sure i made the right decision. He fixed the main issues and even figured out a few electrical issues i had with my speedometer without even charging for the extra work. He didn't have an alternator on hand but was able to have one ordered and installed the very next day. All together my car only spent about 28 hours with him an came back running as good as a 97 Honda could possibly run haha. friendly honest and makes sure he takes care of your car needs without breaking your bank. I believe he strives to keep customers coming back and i value that in a mechanic. As long as i live in little egg harbor i will never use another mechanic. Very pleased.

When we picked the car up near closing time we went right home. Later, we noticed that the clear-coat had been scraped off on several places on one rim (around the edge of the rim where the tire meets the rim and around the lug nuts). Unfortunately when we discovered this, they had already closed for the day. On the next business day, my husband went there and was told that the manager/owner would call him. The call did not come that day so my husband called back the next day. He spoke with the owner Nate who told him that there was no way that the damage done was at his facility. That they do not come in contact with those areas of the rim. We didn't take the car anywhere so the damage had to be caused there. Nate then said "sorry for the misunderstanding" and hung up on my husband. We understand that accidents happen and all we wanted was for them to take responsibility. Buyer beware...everything will go well with this business unless you have a problem. Then the extremely unprofessional owner will hang up on you and not own up to an issue that clearly happened on their watch. Unfortunately, the money you may save by going here you could possibly be spending later on new rims.
