I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD 6 Cylinders G 3.6L. I haven't had it serviced since 2018. I needed to get an oil change since I just hit 80k miles. I told Mark I needed to get it serviced as well, he took the time to go over the entire vehicle, which needed new brakes (front & back), tune up & some smaller items done. Mark was honest with me, extremely fair priced, got all of the work done for me in a day. I would highly recommend him and his shop. I will be going here for any car maintenance items going forward. It's hard to find true mechanics like this nowadays who aren't out there to rip you off.

Mark was amazing to work with, I recently bought a car and brought it to this shop for an inspection. When they had it in the air using the car lift he let me take a look with him, explaining what he was looking at and why. I will definitely come back for routine maintenance and any car troubles I may have in the future, this is an honest shop!

Highly recommended. ?????. I've been a client for the last 3 years. I came here after being quoted $12,000 to replace a transmission at a Jeep dealership, catastrophic transmission failure according to them. I brought my Jeep to Mark, who told me he could get me a used transmission for a little over $3k. One day later I got a call from Mark telling me that there were no problems with my transmission and that my issue was an electrical quirk that went away just by resetting the TCM. There is no price for this type of honesty. I've been a client ever since and have sent all of my friends to him, who end up with similar stories about his honesty.

Mark is a pleasure to work with and cares about his customers. Also saved real $$ by ditching the dealer and working with him. Repairs were made well and on timeline promised. Will go back , no question for all my repair needs going forward.Services: General repairs & maintenance

These guys were able to get my truck running again when the dealer wanted to charge nearly double. Despite extreme back orders on a long list of parts, Mark communicated with me regularly to keep me informed as to the status of the truck and to suggest various avenues along with cost benefit analysis of each option. Highly recommend this shop since they WILL get the job done.

Came here after a dealer tried to quote me $1200 to replace my radiator for a coolant issue, brought it here and had a full system check, he fixed the coolant issue for $200 and my car is running perfectly. Awesome mechanic and very genuine guy, you can tell he’s not going to B.S. you and prefers to keep customers rather than rip people off! Would highly recommend!Service: Vehicle Inspection

I have had Why Go To The Dealer take care of several issues with my 2004 BMW since I discovered them in the past year. One issue in particular where I was told it would cost 2K$ bu another shop to fix and WGTTD made the repairs for under 1K$. I have seen several cars in their shop where the results were the same. They are relentless and not satisfied till they have found the the problem and have resolved it. From my personal experience and seeing other cars in their shop, it appears that no job is too big for them to take on and when you consider the increase in costs of repairs over the past few years and that the dealers have continually raised their hourly rate, WGTTD is still very reasonable. WGTTD is a very busy shop, but don't let that stop you from calling them, that's what you want. Busy means they are satisfying their customers and getting more business because of it. And don't be surprised if they make the time to look at your vehicle even if they are booked two weeks out. They do their best to accommodate everyone who walks through their doors. Another thing I had the privilege to discover is that Mark, the owner of WGTTD is a devoted father, and that says a lot about a man these days. This shop is aptly named and ready to repair your vehicle. So...Why Go TO The Dealer?

I got an estimate for body work on our 2020 Honda CRV which was very reasonable but the day I was supposed to bring it in I had an issue with my Kia Sorento so now I needed mechanical work on the Kia before I could bring in the Honda. I brought in the Kia, and they fixed it and several other items that day. I then brought I'm the Honda for body work and got it back 3 days later looking like brand new. Mark was very good to work with, and I would very much recommend him to others who need mechanical and body work as they did both and I am very happy with the work performed.

This review for a service in Dec 2021: Brought the car there because of all the positive reviews claiming how he owner is a reliable, trustworthy mechanic. But they are all fake. Do not trust these reviews. Especially if you are a woman, Do not bring your car here ! They would swallow you alive!!! Brought the car in since the plastic shield under the car was broken and making noise. Mark- the owner took my car out for a drive claiming the wheel was vibrating. It was not. And even if was it wasn't my concern as my car is old. Yet, I was naive enough to go ahead with whatever he claimed it needed. While I was waiting for the car, he proceeded with some awkward flirting. He asked me to guess how old he looked. I told him he was in his early 50s. He wasn't pleased that I was right claiming people told him he looked 40s and told me he would double-charge me twice. I was so surprised but though it was just a joke. -- Turned out it wasn't a joke , as I looked it service he told me on the Internet and it was about $350s and he told me he would charge me $700s... He then tried to rush me to pay for it so he could go home early, even though it was only about 4:30 on a weekday --Not even close time yet! Unfortunately, his mechanic broke my knuckle. Thus, it caused me the inconvenience having to take Uber while waiting days later to pick up my car. His sole mechanic I later found he was a boat mechanic from D.R. I later found out on the receipt that I had to pay for the knuckle as parts, and some other things supposed to be for a tuneup, which I didn't need. Overall, these positive reviews are fake. Do not bring your car here!!!

First time there. Needed a new power steering pump on my 20+ year old jeep. Repair was done well at a fair price. He seems to be an honest guy and will be back for future repairs

This company has rock star status. Without becoming a customer yet they explained that my issue should be covered under warranty. Who does that?!? Amazing and honest. They have my business for my lifetime. Highly recommend them for any auto repair and service needs. Truly, why go to the dealer when you can have honest service right here.Services: Electrical repair

So I went to the Morse Honda dealer around the corner, which I've been to many times before for oil, changes and significant problems. 6 hours later the estimate for the AC VASTLY EXCEEDED MY BUDGET. Looking for an alternative I spotted WHY GO TO THE DEALER just around the corner.MARK BRODSKY listened ,then looked at my 14 ACCORD HYBRID . Considering the complexity of the procedure,WHY GO TO THE DEALER delivered an estimate vastly less than the Honda dealer,and even less than his estimate. - Thanks Mark !

Great Service - Timely, Efficient & Knowledgeable. Had my 1985 Lincoln Continental classic car repaired at Why go to the dealer mechanic shop. No one in town wanted to work on my car because of certain liabilities with older vehicles. Mark and Roberto took on the challenge and repaired what was needed at a great price and were super helpful with teaching me how to up keep it the near future.Thanks Mark and Roberto for your outstanding auto mechanic workServices: Brakes
