THEY NEARLY KILLED ME TWICE. DANGER! GOING HERE IS DANGEROUS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES. THIEVES AS WELL. In May of 2025 my girlfriend's car needed the transmission replaced. Her family had been going to them for years despite many red flags. They claimed that they could replace the transmission and in less than 5 days they had the 2018 Subaru Forrester back on the road claiming it was tested and safe, but on the drive from their shop to Bayonne I heard a metal grinding and chose to bring it back first thing in the morning. At 9am I'm driving over the bridge and the car going 45 mph dead stops in the middle of the road screeching to a stop. After calling 911 and having a fire truck come and block traffic I was towed off the bridge. They claimed the transmission must have been faulty and they spent the next 5 weeks finding a replacement to fix the Subaru and in that time never answered a single phone call, sent one text, and the owner sent 2x audio texts saying the car needed more time because he is a coward to afraid to talk to clients when he messed up. Then once the car was done he sent a voice message saying it was ready. The next morning I was driving the Subaru on the turnpike in New Jersey doing 65 at 5am and the CAR DEADSTOPS IN THE TRUCK LANE A 2ND TIME LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK. Barely survived both times because no one was driving behind me but imagine slamming on your brakes, pulling the emergency brake, and putting the car in park at the same time while going 65 mph. This happened on a Sunday so the shop was closed but no way was I trusting them a 3rd time so I had a shop in New Jersey replace the transmission again after I got towed off the turnpike, and then towed to a new mechanic. Then I had this NJ mechanic remove the transmission and I brought the broken transmission back to Tune IT Up in the back of a rental as a favor to the owner so he could get the money back on the warranty for the transmission. CAN ANYONE GUESS WHAT THEY DID WRONG BOTH TIMES??? NO DIFFERENTIAL FLUID WAS PUT IN TRANSMISSION EITHER TIME. THESE GUYS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. After bringing back the broken transmission to them Andrew said he'd return the broken transmission for the warranty money. He spent the next 6 months avoiding my texts and calls and even though he got $2500 back for the transmission and I paid him $4200 he has only refunded me $1000 and I paid him over a year ago. He has now been paid $6700 to break my transmission twice and almost kill me twice and I had to pay another $4000 to the NJ mechanic so he could do the job right. ANDREW IS A CROOK AND A COWARD AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU RUN Don't walk, RUN AWAY FROM THIS MECHANIC. If I wasn't driving and keeping a cool head while skidding I could have easily flipped or headed into oncoming traffic. Imagine if your child, wife, parents or anyone you care about was put in the situation I described do you think they will be as lucky as me? Do you think you'll dead stop when no one is behind you like I did? I'm not one to leave negative reviews but these guys are a danger to the public. If they messed up once that's one thing we are all human but they put two transmissions in our car without checking if both of the two fluids put in a transmission were in there. They cut corners and don't care about your life or the lives of the ones you care about. I attached photos of the text exchanges I had with Andrew from time I'm getting towed off the Bayonne Bridge to April 2026. Still avoiding me, still has my money. And he's waiting to get yours next. read more

See all

Absolutely amazing! Needed a new battery and after going to AutoZone and purchasing the battery. They did not have the proper gear to change it in my car ... they then recommended me here and I am so glad. They repaired my battery in the half hour. Amazing service and will definitely be back again!! Highly recommend! read more

Do not I repeat do not go here they jack up the price for everything and do not fix your vehicle properly then charge you extra money for the problem that was supposed to be initially fixed the quotes they give are outrageous and if you don't look at the receipt thoroughly you will be over charged best I can tell you save yourself a headache the work gets done fast but not correctly read more

I've gone to this place many times for inspections, but this time was different. It was apparent they were going out of their way to find an issue with the car, by doing things they have never done. They lifted the car more than once with a jack, shaking tires. visually inspecting the windshield wiper blade edge on both sides instead of just turning them on and seeing if they cleaned the window. I had to stop the person when they decided to put a jack under the front of the vehicle because there is no front jacking point and that would have caused damage. Then the driver side front jacked and flashlights out all over the front suspension. Now this was all done without any test drive to determine if anything was wrong. I'm my own mechanic so I took out the maintenance record and said what parts history is do you want to know about ? but the person was not able to understand me. They also had three People each do their own inspection. They didnt even check the things they are required to check. Like simple light bulb check. I was very confuse. They did my other car in the spring and they didnt check anything, but now they are out trying to look for business where's there is nothing wrong. Left a note for the manager - he was at lunch- you lost a customer today read more

I was nervous going to any auto shop by myself as a female since I didn't know anything about cars, but Im glad I came to Tune it Up Auto. The man that helped me didn't speak much english, and my Spanish was limited. But he was very patient with me. My car needed a wheel alignment and the wheels would shake when I drove it too fast. When the man tried to explain to me that the front lower arm was cracked, I didn't understand what he was saying so he went and found the part from a scrap pile and showed me! I was really thankful he took the extra effort to communicate with me even tho there was a language barrier. I confirmed the price with my friend who was a mechanic and was reassured that I wasn't getting ripped off. I'm glad I got an honest quote and the man was even able to fix my car the same day which was a huge plus! read more

Got a nail in my tire and needed a patch 30 minutes before closing. I'm always skeptical with new mechanics as a young girl since I've been ripped off in the past. They took my car in right away and were super nice despite my skepticism and questioning. Quick service and nice employees. read more

Top notch mechanics, I highly recommend Andrew and Alberto for all your mechanical needs..

AMAZING SERVICE, i brought my car to get exhaust work done, i cannot believe the amazing work they done on it, im a satisfied customer, the team was helpful and super friendly, will definitely go again for any other work that my car needs!!!! read more

worst place to get your car fix I got my brakes done had come back 3 times No consideration for the customers money pit

I brought my Forester in to get a second opinion (actually third) and was treated very well. I told them the diagnosis that my regular mechanic said and they verified the problem (the rear differential sticking which caused knocking when I turned). Andrew, the owner, was able to top off the trans oil (from the top plug?) and did not charge me because he was not sure it would solve the problem. The problem is still there but not as bad. The other shops were not able to help me at all. I appreciate Tune It Up work and help. This is a busy auto shop and knowing Spanish is a plus. read more

Service sucked, job wasn't complete, parts weren't changed(still had old parts on car), but I was charged, ended up in complications, long story short, save yourself, cuz i wouldn't be going back there,and ALWAYS LOOK AT DA PARTS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED, IF ITS VISIBLE read more

If you are looking for an honest mechanic especially if you are a female this is the place to go, ask for Alberto, he is respecful, honest and very down to earth, he will not ripe you off....in fact if he can help you in any way to save you money even if it means he will loose he will tell you, you dont find that many honest people around. I've been going to him since 2012 and even if its been a year I dont come around, he treats me as if he just saw me the day before, excellent cusomer service and humble and of course his fees are reasonable. read more
