In 2020 I bought an original 1965 1 owner Mustang. Had it towed to their previous location. Communication was ok but not great. Service...I initially brought in a running car that had a transmission that needed a rebuilt due to leaks. Car had been sitting in a garage for a long time. It was started fairly regularly but not driven recently due to transmission leak. I asked for the owner to go over the car and let me know what it needed. We started with the transmission. Its a C4, easy rebuild. Overcharged me and sent out to a transmission builder. 3,200 dollars later. Next was gas tank, needed to be replaced. This I understood due to the car sitting so long. Then the Water Pump, then the Carburetor, then the radiator and the belts and hoses. I was told that the engine was bullet proof so I was not concerned. I wanted to replace the brakes with power ones. I was then told that the rear end was not original to the car due to a tag code they gave to the "brake expert" who told them it was a 7 3/4 rear not an 8 inch. Since ford only used two and one 7 3/4 inch rear end has a four lug wheel set and the 8" has a five lug plus the rear end has a front facing plate to distinguish between the two, I started to get concerned that these guys didn't know what they were doing. How right I was. When they called me to tell me that there was something wrong with the Engine....I was concerned. They had told me a year earlier that the engine was fine, bulletproof was the word they used. Now, it needed to be rebuilt AND they wanted to send the engine to Florida to rebuild it!!! This is when I started to really panic and look elsewhere to get the work done. So, after paying them over 12 grand, I got the car back due to their move to the new location and now a year later I have an update on their work......Water pump had to be replaced again, the one they installed was faulty. Carburetor needs to be rebuilt again. The brakes were never completely installed. I had the engine rebuilt locally, in Paterson and the rebuild shop informed me that my original 289 block.....was cracked. Heartbroken. An original Matching numbers 1 owner car is ruined. I trusted them and their work and I was wrong. I had to buy another block, another water pump, and have to pay to get the Carburetor rebuilt again. One more note, I bought new Rims and tires through them because I had planned on doing that anyway and two of the tires will not fit on the car because they are too big for the front. Another flag that they really do not know what they are doing. Do not not make the same mistakes. Go elsewhere. Expensive lesson learned.SteveServices: Auto brake replacement

I've brought my car here for 3 years and even though I don't live nearby anymore I still bring it to Log Cabin if I can. It's not easy to find a trustworthy shop, but these guys are honest, hardworking and FAST. They've helped me out in a pinch a few times and I'll always vouch for them solely for the reason that they will always at least try to accommodate the customer's wishes to the best of their abilities.They're honest when they say why they can't fix something and what needs to be done. If it's something substantial they'll give you a heads up beforehand, so that you won't have any surprises in the bill.

This is the place you're looking for. Fantastic service. Nice people. Very good communication. They spent a little more time than they'd estimated doing the job and insisted on not charging me any extra. I'll be going here from now on.

When I purchased my classic car (a '77 Monte Carlo) and researched a local shop that could service it, I landed on Log Cabin. Tony, Joe and team consistently perform A+ work. I take my car in seasonally for regular maintenance or the occasional old car repair, and the work is always done right, with a level a completeness that is not short of caring for one of their own cars. Car is clean in and out, and they always go above and beyond to ensure all older systems that are prone to failure, (trans seals, valve cover gaskets, hoses, etc.) are checked and replaced as necessary. For anyone that owns a classic vehicle, you can have the confidence that when you take it out of winter storage it will be ready for the road. I will be taking ALL of my vehicles there from now on.

Had a hitch and wiring installed. They did a good job. When I asked for something to be redone, the owner and another tech were a little gruff but not too bad. The tech who did my installation was super friendly. I'd definitely come back for future installations and repairs.

Installed a EcoHitch on my 2013 Tesla Model S. Excellent work, perfect installation. Would recommend to anyone with a Tesla needing a hitch installed.
