I'm sorry, but with the somewhat rude staff on top of ripping me off, you were asking for this. I've heard a lot of people say this place rips you off. I guess it was true. As a small business owner myself, I stride to provide great service. But if you can't do that, then you lose a costumer, for life.

EDIT: In response to Jin, the owner…read more His response is a lie and his receipts show the lies. When we told him the part was broken, he forwarded us a receipt that showed he bought a USED EBAY part for $80, and ridiculously told us to get money back from eBay which is why we have the receipt he sent us and refused to refund us. We have multiple witnesses and recordings to prove he's lying. Do not get SCAMMED. Madison Ave Coach Works owner, Jin Han, is a con artist and does dangerous and horrible work. We were advised to file a lawsuit against them and also file a report with the NJ MVC, & NJ Attorney General's office. Jin scammed and threatened my 70-year-old mother with physical violence, saying that he would break her car mirror. Please read the other reviews that talk about their terrible work and con - they say "New parts" but buy cheap used & incorrect parts instead. My mom needed a passenger side mirror replaced and they installed a USED cracked eBay mirror that they knew did NOT FUNCTION. Mr. Han forced her to pay cash before he gave her the key to see the car. The mirror was the wrong part, it would not move and was so blurry you couldn't see. When we mentioned this, he threatened to rip off the mirror. Since she already paid and was scared, she had no choice and was forced to drive home dangerously with a mirror we couldn't see out of. Later we told him we would report this and he said he would give us a full refund. When we were on our way for the refund, Jin threatened my mom on the phone and said he was going to smash the mirror in front of her if she showed up and would never give back her money. Attached is the receipt from Madison Ave Coach Works, which falsely shows Genuine Lexus Parts quoted for $1,100. We ended up having to get the car fixed elsewhere and they confirmed Madison Ave Coach Works did a hack job, and that it was obvious Jin knew the part was faulty. I don't wish this on anyone, do NOT bring your car here. If you had similar problems like the other negative reviews, know you have rights, report them, and don't let these con artists bully you.

UDO is the best! My first car with UDO'S AUTOMOTIVE, in 1988, was a 1967 Mercedes 250 SEL my parents bought in 1967 IN GERMANY and brought back. He got it really running well for me and I was able to sell it at a good price. In 2016,I bought a 1970 Red MGB you may have seen in his lot, as he started an excellent job restoring it for me, literally Top to Bottom. New Top, New Tan Seats, Carpet, Dashboard, Console you see right away. Re-did all the wiring and every bulb, fan, motor, radio, and antenna. Up front, Udo replaced the Brake System from Reservoir, copper lines, fittings, and the Brakes themselves. He rebuilt the Engine, new Rings, Cam Shaft, Fuel Filter and countless other parts, including Choke Cable, Hoses, even the Radiator Cap. Car runs like a top and Udo put his best into it for me. I cannot recommend Udo more highly as he has been excellent and did a terrific job. Go see Udo and let him give you an estimate. read more

Can't state enough how well I was treated by Udo and everyone that works there. I had never been there before and just purchased my first Jaguar, not knowing exactly how much care they require. Anyway - honest about every stitch of work, what had to be done, what could be done and what they recommended, friendly and very patient, I would recommend Udo's to anyone that has a car they love that requires TLC. It hs been over a month from my visit, and I came here specifically to make this recommendation - and I very rarely do. read more

I was tired of dealer prices so I took a chance on Udo. High quality at a great price. So thorough. For example, my older porsche had an annoying rattle going over bumps, and he adjusted the heat shield, removed trapped pebbles, tightened the license plate, anything that could make noise.. Worth the trip from Jersey City. Good guy. I'm glad I met him. read more
