Kenty and the crew are smart, kind, helpful, and efficient. I think their price is fair and they are very knowledgeable, especially Kenty. He is very patient and understanding. He walks you through all the steps, issues, and possible resolutions. I will come back here again. I already had my car serviced here twice. read more

My brother, who loves his cars like his baby, has been taking his car and my dad's three cars for almost a decade to this shop. Usually, they're easy and fast to schedule, park, and pay for any service, ranging from oil changes to repairs. I'm usually in and out within an hour because my parents are waiting in the lobby and get restless if they're seated too long. What's key for me is their expertise to inspect annually for any maintenance issues and troubleshoot the root causes that cause our car alarm to turn on randomly at night, a faulty transmission, etc. We've tried Honda dealers, but they usually upsell us or charge higher rates where the returns on investment don't support their surcharges. I realized that the staff here is likely too candid to know how to sweet talk customers and sugar coat any recommendations. They tried several times to dissuade my dad from fixing a 2001 Odyssey van because it wasn't worth the value of the car from two decades of depreciation with issues, ranging from air conditioning to a stolen catalytic converter when parked on the street in New York City. However, my dad insisted on repairing it because it was useful for transporting larger items, ranging from equipment to furniture. It's truly hard to find mechanics and a body shop you trust to bring your car and those of your loved ones. It helps that their crew (e.g., Ricky) can speak Chinese slowly and clearly to relate to my dad with his hearing impairments. Nobody's perfect in this imperfect world, so sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and find someone willing to work with you and relay all the info that you need to decide how to move forward or not with fixing your car. For me, it's better to hear the good, bad, and ugly truth than to not know the inside scoop for making a more informed decision, especially the tough ones. read more

Got recommended this spot for my alignment. Spoke over Instagram, got me a spot in the morning right away. I didn't have to wait or anything drove right in. They were very knowledgeable and I am no dummy. I know when the work is good. Wheel Alignments range from 100$ onwards but they are on the higher side but they do everything don't do a quick job. I was satisfied with the job and will be going back for all my auto needs. I just felt the vibe was right , you weren't getting ripped off and Ricky seems truly an honest person. read more

If you're looking for a honest and reliable mechanic, I highly recommend Tri Auto. Ricky will provide you with options that fit your needs. After many years with Ricky fixing my cars, I realize your safety is his main concern. His work is fairly priced and if you make an appointment he will do his best to accommodate your schedule. Kanty, the manager, is very friendly and will discuss the parts you need for your car. Great guys and professionals at their jobs. read more

best work i've had done, fair pricing for quality of work. Always responds fast. Also one of the only shops i know of that works on Teslas and aftermarket accessories. read more

8/28 came by to bring my Honda CR-V 2016 for an oil change, this is the first time i change the oil, as this car was purchased Jan 2020 with 29,000 miles. I am currently at 34888 miles, so i had the oil changed from regular oil to synthetic. Car is running very smooth, no complaints as I know I can trust Ricky & KC to take care of business with cars. The next time I come in will to bring my 2011 Acura MDX for an oil change as well as a thorough check up as that car is near 89k miles and If i am keeping it, there is a whole lotta maintenance that i will need to do to make sure it can go another 100k with no issues. read more

Awesome and honest staff here at Tri. Had new tires mounted along with new rotors and pads installed and alignment done to finish it off. The whole process was nice and smooth. No headaches. Their body work is also top notch. Had them also put on an aftermarket spoiler and they got it done in no time. Highly recommend this shop! It's hard to find a trustworthy shop/mechanic these days. You won't be disappointed here! read more

Last summer (i meant to post this review a while back...didn't realize it was in draft!), my car got scraped on the side by a sanitation truck on the road. Minor damages that doesn't affect functionality but definitely not pretty looking. My husband's cousin referred me to Tri Auto, highly recommended the body shop. Off I went, to get them check out the work. I spoke with Ricky (did not know he was the owner at the time) who was honest with me from the start, and told me exactly what needed to be done and straight up about the cost. I was particularly concerned about the mirror due to the sideview camera but he assured me that the damage should only be on the frame (which thankfully was). Because the accident involved the DOS, I needed to file a claim with NYC, which required multiple quotes from different shops, I ended up getting quotes from other shops too. Some of the shops were very very aggressive and quoted me much higher prices (I'm sure it has something to do with me being a woman AND pregnant), all the time promising that my mirror needed total replacement and any other place offering a lower price will do a shitty job. Well, I went with my instinct and trusted the recommendation. Happy to report that Tri Auto did an AMAZING job, ended up charging me less than the quote, and even happier to report that almost a year later, car still looks brand new! Thanks Ricky! You're one in a million! read more

Hours are INCORRECT! We drove all the way from Manhattan to find this spot with shut gates. (Sunday @5pm) Any good business should make sure this information is up to date. FRUSTRATED! read more

I can't believe that in all the time I've been coming here I've never done a review for them. Since I've been introduced to Ricky and the team, I've been really happy with them. They're up - close and personal, great people. Last time I was here, I was here for hours. One of the guys actually shared his lunch with me! Today I'm back and Ricky tells me that I need to replace my front brake pads, but he reminds me that they're still on warranty. I don't like to pay a lot of money, but I'm not very good about keeping track of sales and deals and what's on warranty and what's not. This kind of thing goes a long way with me. The default is HONESTY. If you've got a faulty part, Ricky will be volunteer to bring you inside the shop and walk you under your car to show you what's wrong. This is the shop for me! read more

Good guys, good prices and they seem like honest dudes! Was looking for a new mechanic and saw all the good reviews. Called all the auto shops around the neighborhood for prices on oil changes where I can bring my own synthetic oil and filter, they had the best price! $15! Can't argue with that! Wife went in to get an inspection and replace a tail light, she said they were kind to her too. I guess I found my new go to mechanic! read more

Quick and helpful! I was in need of assistance for an oil change. My first time doing this by myself; aka, adulting. I didn't know the difference or which is better with synthetic or the other one so I just followed their call and did synthetic. Within 15 min done! They take card as well thank goodness. Thanks so much! read more

Came here for the first time today. I found them on yelp and went b/c of their rating. Definitely a great experience. Here you can trust you'll be dealing with only honest and reliable people. The owners are there themselves so you know everything will be done properly. Had the rear rotors and brake pads changed today. It was quick and very reasonable price. They're very knowledgeable and go above and beyond for their customers. In conclusion, highly recommended. Will be coming back and recommending to friends and family. Thanks again! Also they get busy here! make sure to call ahead to schedule an appointment read more

The only reason I am writing this review is to help community !!! This shop is deceptive, I stopped by at this shop very first time, the owner Ricky Tsui was standing outside, I had no idea if he is the owner which I came to know later, I asked Ricky if he can give me "Rough Estimation" for my car accident. Ricky Said : "I can give you estimation but I am going to charge you as every other body shop charge for estimation!!!" ( Straight Lie ) After I told Ricky I have been to other body shop and they did not charge me then why you want to charge for rough estimation ? Ricky said : "I am charging because I am giving you my time!!! He made disrespectful face and walked away without saying a word" ( YES, that's how exactly he treated new customer!!! ) Ricky were you kidding me ? No respectable auto body shop charge for rough estimation, even if some body shop charge for paper estimation they first give option to customer if you want rough estimation or paper estimation, they don't right away try to fool new customer to pay for rough estimation, they talk with respect, value customer time and they don't walk away without saying a word like you walked away from me by making disrespectful face without saying a word. ( Seriously it was unbelievable act !!! ) You did not even care a new customer with car accident drove to your shop very first time, these are basic manners which you are lacking big time, you did not respect my time, on the top of it you tried to cheat and lied to me and never give me option between "rough estimation" and "paper estimation" but right away tried to fool me by charging for estimation with a lie. Ricky you should learn to respect your customer and respect their time first !!! and learn to apologize when you are exposed, if you don't know how to respect a customer time then you don't deserve a customer!!! Dear readers I only written this comment to help you, I would not recommend you to go to this shop after terrible experience. Think about it if the owner of shop is deceptive, dishonest and fill with lies, don't respect your time then do you really want to hit such shop ? Try others nearby body shop in Woodside with better reviews and ranking, I tried another nearby body shop and the owner given me "Free Paper Estimation" and spend tens of minutes with me to understand my issue and give me every possible option with respect, I have been to other body shops for estimation as well and no one ever charge me a penny for estimation. Keep in mind no respectable body shop charge for rough estimation and offers rough estimation to customer as default method of estimation ( Its basically standard way of giving estimation among any respectable body repair shop, don't get fooled! ) If you are expecting respect for your valuable time, good manners, want to save $$$ and deserve professional job then go somewhere else!!! Owner of this shop is deceptive and will try to cheat you with lies for sake of few $$, be careful !! I hope you are not going to be fooled by owner of this shop! "Its simple, on google look for body repair shop in your area which are in business for long time, call them before you go and confirm if they can do your job" Keep in mind, rough estimation is the default method of estimation offered by every respectable shop as default choice to customer !!! I hope my review would help someone and save people time and money! Good luck! read more

I had an issue that didn't need to be driven to diagnose. Regardless, the asian mechanic here took my car out for a drive. I honestly didn't know why we went for a car ride. Within a minute, he told me that my car also had another problem/safety issue. He pulled over in a remote area and said I have to give him a tip -- which I did to get my car back. There goes $10 just to get my car back. Anyway, I brought my car to my regular mechanic who put the car up on a lift to check on that "safety issue" -- there was NO problem with what the mechanic here indicated. NONE whatsoever. I wouldn't trust this mechanic with my car again. He also told me that his name wasn't the one on his shirt. I felt that he took me my car for a ride so that he could get a "tip" without being seen by the other mechanic. Also, the office itself had no one in it, and the mess there let me feel that the place was disorganized. Mechanic also said the owner charges DIFFERENT amounts for diagnoses/etc. Just got a bad feeling about the place. I'm not going back. I went because of the good reviews but was glad that I didn't get involved with them. read more

I have been going here for years. They have what I seek in a mechanic, they are very trustworthy. Never doubted them on price or services needed. They never said I must do this, I must do that. I highly recommend Tri Auto . read more

My side view mirror was broken off mysteriously and I needed a new one. Nothing major. First off, A&K is definitely not a chain auto shop like Meineke. But nothing wrong with that. They tried calling a bunch of places to get an after-market side view mirror which would be cheaper but unfortunately could not find one for my car. It ended up costing over $100 for the mirror plus $35 labor. Price was a little steep for a little mirror but they had it shipped to the shop the next day. I came in and they installed it within 30 minutes. I'd try them again but next time I'll do some research on the price of parts and maybe try to get it myself. They can speak Thai and I believe Chinese as well. read more

This shop is deceptive and tries to sell you parts you don't need to fix a problem you never had. As soon as I smelled something funny, I went to pick up my car. The owner, Ricky told me that my car was idling high and that I needed an idle air control valve... I just turned the idle down using the screw. The original problem I brought the car in for (a check engine light for EGR) wasn't fixed. In fact, there were several loose vacuum lines hanging in my engine bay. They just disconnected the battery to reset the light and told me it was fixed. After driving 11 miles, it came back on. They were stubborn about installing the parts that I wanted to install and charged me $127 to do absolutely nothing beyond a new inspection sticker. I don't trust this place at all. You shouldn't either. read more

This is a very honest shop as they aren't looking for a quick buck. They will work with you and make sure you're satisfied with all the work they completed. They tell you if they're using genuine dealer parts or an aftermarket part and will give you the reason why for their decision. They'll even show you the prices! I highly recommend them if you're looking for an honest mechanic (hard to come by these days) read more

I rarely write reviews but I had to after coming here. Despite all the auto body shops around the area, these guys really know what they are doing and do a great job at it. Everyone is extremely professional, respectful, and reasonable. The prices they have are even lower compared to what the other shops are estimating. You definitely won't be disappointed by Tri Body Auto. read more

I went in for a synthetic oil change and busted headlight in January 2016. Luckily, only a couple of cars in front of me. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Ricky and team did a solid job, and pointed out that I might need to do suspension work soon on my 2005 Subaru Forester. Very trustworthy! I'm going back this week. read more

Let Ricky Take care of you, Honest guy, very knowledgeable on many cars. Carries a lot of oil and filters in house already. Mobil-1, Castrol, and Liqui Moly. Does some great body work and paint jobs on a few friends cars. read more

First time taking my 328xi here for broken front right suspension and front left fender repair. I went to several other shops prior, and Ricky gave me the best price for both repairs. Dropped my car off on a Thursday, got it back on the following Monday. Ricky was nice and accommodating, and his work turned out phenomenal! The fender looks so good that you can't tell it was ever repaired! Color matches beautifully which I am very happy about. For my suspension issues, I needed a new strut, knuckle, and rim because I hit a huge pothole. After replacing those parts and getting an alignment, my car drives way smoother and better than before! I will definitely come back to Ricky for my non warranty repairs. Highly recommended! read more

I've been coming here since it was operated under AK Auto, and have always been a happy customer. Ricky and his team are an honest and knowledgable bunch. They've never stiffed me on costs, and stand behind their work. They would take great care of my '94 Integra every time I came in, and still show the same amount of diligence/care with my newer car. Always try to get here early on weekends, otherwise be prepared to wait as their shop gets full fast. read more

Another great experience, one month later. My car suddenly wouldn't start. It wasn't the battery. I tested it out. Then we went here, by foot, and Art sent his mechanic, Jimmy, out with us. He checked out the car, made sure it wasn't the battery, and then he had an idea of what it could be, but we had to get the car to the shop! So far it had been stuck in the back driveway, behind a row of houses, and fairly tight quarters in terms of entering and exiting. I had no idea how I was going to get a tow truck out there. We went back together and discussed it with Art. He got on the phone almost immediately and called us a tow truck. We waited for 15 minutes, and I saw a small tow truck come in, not one of those huge ones with a huge flat bed, and I had the hope that it would fit in the back driveway. I rode with him, while my husband rode with Jimmy, and another mechanic, since they figured all of the men together would push the car out of the parking space. Five minutes later we get to the back driveway. The tow truck driver, Todd, reverses in; it's tight, but he decides he can make it. He manages to make the corner turn, and when we get to my car, he doesn't even bother to wait for anyone else. He pops it in neutral, starts pushing it out, back first, and then attaches it to the tow truck! I'm basically amazed as I watch this. By the time my husband and the mechanics come by, there's nothing left for them to do, but follow us back to AK Auto! Even with my Integra attached to it, he drove right out. Once back at the shop, we paid the guy while my Integra was moved into the garage and the guys were all clustered there having a look. One thing about this place is their customer service. There are no secrets. They invite you to come into the garage so they can explain exactly what they are doing, seeing it up front means we understand the process and don't feel as if there will be short cuts or tricks to get more money. Angel explained stuff to us, then Art explained again, and he wrote out in detail what he was going to do, including the price he would charge us. He even gave us two price options-- one for a quicker fix if we weren't planning on keeping the car too long, and another long term fix, which was more money. We agreed on the price. He estimated two hours. We called back in that time frame and it was ready. Walked back, and had our car all ready and waiting. Everyone is friendly, nice, smiles at you, talks to you, makes you feel as a person/customer, not someone that will just be "business". This is truly a "ma and pa" establishment. We tried tipping Art, but he refused and said he did nothing but order the parts. He told us to give it to Jimmy, who actually did the work! Now that's definitely a fair guy....and that action alone says a lot about how Art runs his business. Definitely go here. You won't regret it. read more

We just popped in to get an oil change without an appointment. They took our car in quick and finished the job within 15 mins. Awesome experience! So glad there's a good place close to my house. read more

I've gone to Tri Auto & Body to get my oil changed twice and to get four new tires. They're always quick and efficient, and I'm in and out in about 15-20 minutes for an oil change. They take the time to give honest opinions about what my car needs and they offer great to very reasonable prices. Since I began coming here, I recommended this shop to my brother, and will also tell my other friends about this place as well. read more

This is my go to auto shop from your routine maintenance or any specific repairs. I drive an older Acura MDX and these guys are definitely knowledgeable in terms of everything within the Honda family of vehicles/parts. They charge very reasonable rates and even in my last visit I had a power steering hose (which I purchased online) replaced without issue. Love that this shop allows customers to BYOP (bring your own parts) Wouldn't go to any other shop so long as I live in the Queens area! read more
