My truck broke down on Rt 287 near Bridgewater. I looked on NTTSbreakdown.com who the nearest tow truck company was and it was Bauer Automotive Truck Service. I asked them if they had the time to take my truck (which had empty trailers behind it) to the FedEx terminal in Edison and then 1 mile to leave my truck in the FedEx yard. The total mile from their shop to the FedEx yard was 39 miles. To make a long story short they charged me $2317 for the tow, which is obscene. I asked the owner Mike how he could possibly charge this amount to a small operator and he laughed it off. Do yourself a favor and don't ever use this company. They are a major rip off and I will be writing my next email to the BBB.

He lost my rear windows which cost me over $1000 to replace. In addition, the undercarriage had gaps that you could drop your keys through. To repair I had to remove his undercoat and patch the holes at a cost of $800. Plus there were several drips in the paint job. My biggest problem is he refuses to return my calls that help me out. I'm out over $1800 and am furious. Not a good businessman.

My mechanic who is a family friend told me that my car's engine and transmission had been leaking…read moreoil and it was a matter of time before it was going to fail on me. It was due to old age (239000 miles). Too bad he doesnt do engine swaps. Fortunately, I have a coworker who has a husband that owns a shop and was told that he just recently swap a engine with a low mileage jdm motor. Chris called me that same night and we went over the details on the work that needed to be done on the car. He was very informative and he went step by step with me about the engine swapping process. He even told me that he would pick up the engine and transmission in NJ for a cheap fee. I decided that Chris was the right guy for the job and told him that I would give him the car in three weeks to work on. When I arrived at the shop, I told Chris that I had other issues with the car. He told me that he will look into it but his main focus was to replace the motor and transmission first. During the time he was working on my car, he kept in constant contact with me. He would let me know what he was doing and if there was something that needed to be replaced, he would call me first for permission before buying the replacement part. Chris also sent me picture and videos while my car was being worked on. One of other issues that I had address to Chris was that my heater was only give me luke warm air at best. I had thought that my heater core was clogged and that it needed to be replaced. Turns out, Chris found that it was just my heater control valve that was broken and prevented the coolant to go into my heater core. For people that dont know about heater cores, it would cost 800 to 1500 dollars for the heater core to be replaced. By finding out that it was just the heater control valve, Chris saved me a boat load of money. About a week and half later, Chris finally finished the job and he delivered my car in front of the house. He even gave my car a wash and even detailed my car. I test drove the car with Chris sitting on the passenger side and was surprised how much power I had on the new engine. Transmssion was shifting flawlessly. Chris also installed a dedicated transmission oil cooler and filter to prolong the life of the transmission. I had told Chris that day he delivered my car that I was going on a trip to upstate for the memorial day weekend. He told me that if I have any issues to call him immediately. I didn't have to call him because my car worked perfectly. In fact, Chris texted me asking how my car was doing and I forgot to text him back. (Sorry Chris). I highly recommend Chris to anyone. Not only that he does excellent work, he genuinely cares about his customers. Other than my family friend, Chris would be the only one I would trust my car with. Thank you Chris!!!
