“This place was fantastic! I blew a tire on my travel trailer on the Thruway And I was towed to Mahwah To a tire place that was supposed to have what I needed. When we got there, they didn’t and I called at least a dozen local tire places with zero success. I called this place and the guy was so helpful although he did not have the exact tire I needed. He was able to sell me another one that was very similar. I ended up buying two which meant I needed to drive back to my trailer. Install the one tire bring the trailer back to him to install the second tire. The place stayed open an hour later for a complete stranger and saved my family vacation!!!! Had it not been for them my travel Trailer would have been sitting in the middle of a grocery store parking lot certainly overnight. My food would have spoiled and we never would have been able to get back on the road the same evening. Good people still exist! Luckily I live pretty local and will be using them from here on out!”
“The shop is run by Serge — hands down one of the most technically gifted mechanics I’ve met.
I first met him back in the early Audi tuning days, when he was one of the first guys to both turbocharge and supercharge a B6/B7 A4. This was before off-the-shelf everything. Back then, he was building cars properly — custom hardware, custom calibration, tuning on Maestro when the Audi scene still required actual understanding of ME7 logic, load modeling, fueling strategies, and knock control instead of flashing files and hoping for the best.
From there it escalated quickly.
Tesla drivetrain swaps into Audi chassis (including an S5) — full custom wiring, CAN integration, and making it all communicate cleanly with Audi MMI, cluster logic, and factory controls. That alone weeds out 99% of shops.
On the ICE side, he’s built performance engines from the block up, handled motor swaps, full rebuilds, and bespoke turbo systems, and fabricated his own solutions when parts didn’t exist. His TIG welding work on custom turbo manifolds and exhaust setups is the kind of stuff you normally only see in high-end motorsport or boutique race shops.
What really separates Serge, though, is diagnostics.
He has an almost unfair ability to trace electrical faults, drivability issues, and intermittent problems that other shops miss entirely. If ten mechanics couldn’t find it, he usually does — methodically, logically, without guessing. It’s not magic; it’s deep systems-level understanding.
I’ve trusted him with six Audis over more than 12 years — everything from routine maintenance to engine swaps, rebuilds, suspension work, and custom performance setups. Every job was done clean, properly torqued, correctly routed, no shortcuts, no “that’s good enough” mentality.
On top of all that:
Work is clean and documented
Attention to small details most people overlook
Pricing is fair for the level of work
And he’s genuinely enjoyable to deal with — no ego, no bullshit
At this point he’s deep into the supercar world, but the mindset hasn’t changed. Same precision, same standards.
Top-tier mechanic.
Top-tier owner.
The kind of shop you don’t replace once you find it.
P.S. last car he worked on (4.0t twin turbo S6) made 923whp on e40 on a mustang dyno.”
“Courteous and professional service.. I have been a customer for several years and have always appreciated the honest, problem solving advice I get from Bob Crevaux’s Wayne Auto Works. I am a very satisfied customer!”
“I Strongly recommend Gil’s. Expert in diagnosing Lexus problem, then repairing the issue at a fair rate Also, They were very prompt in their response to my need, as I was in Ridgewood visiting from out of town, and their communication was top-notch. You will be glad you chose Gil’s!”
“Highly Recommend, it gives me great pleasure to submit this review. The people in the office are awesome. I could not hardly find nobody to fix my Dodge Van. The owner Dave looked me in my face and said, "We are going to fix it!" My automobile is running amazing now and I am proud to recommend Ultimate Car Care of Fair lawn NJ. Great Job! Thanks”
“Deo is the best. He can fix almost anything on the car, even If it’s not under the hood. He is very trustworthy, efficient and very fair with his prices. I wouldn’t go any place else in this area. I have known Deo over 25 years.”
“Hamza is such a humble and friendly owner and his employees are top-tier. Never had a bad experience with them and they’ve helped me out a lot. Highly recommend. Very transparent and honest business. 10/10!!”
“Went for headlight and even though they were full of cars with limited time they listened to me and found a way to service me even though my car required time removing the front fender and I also got my oil change done with full synthetic oil and was able to negotiate a great deal to top it off. I had a mechanic I was loyal to but they motivated me to switch today. I’ll be setvicing all my family’s cars here going forward.”
“Jonathan and team are so helpful, so accommodating, and very informative. They explain things really well, their prices are reasonable, and they do great work. When my tire pressure light came on right after the services, Jonathan was happy to check and fill my tires for me. I’ve recommended them to a neighbor as well who was also very pleased with their services. Thanks guys!”
“Chris and Maria and the team, are Awesome. He fixed my truck when no one else would and she funs great again!!! I will tell everyone about this shop. Prices are reasonable. Luv u guys!!!”
“The work done on my car at AAMCO Transmissions & Total Car Care of Hackensack was absolutely phenomenal! My car needed a bunch of things done and stopped running, needing a new engine and suspension among many other projects. The work that was done is flawless, and the entire car looks brand new. Not only was the quality top-notch, but the customer service was outstanding, keeping me informed throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing auto body repairs.They went above and beyond to ensure my car was restored to its best condition. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. I was very impressed with the attention to detail and the quality of workmanship. I couldn't be happier with the results - my car looks better than new! I highly recommend using them! Thank you!!”
“Great place. Explained everything in simple terms that I could understand. They are great with communication. Very kind. Would definitely return for future help with the car. Highly recommend.”

“These guys helped me with a check engine light issue that the dealer would charge an arm and leg for but this shop was knowledgable and did the job in less than 1 hour after we had parts ordered and was amazing work. Thank you!!!”
“Rich & crew replaced the 46RE trans in my 1999 Dakota RT. Previous shop: was Gold Seal, closed, in Upper Saddle River. Big trans, 5.9 engine and a tight fit. A Perfect job, + reversed flowed the trans cooler.
4 years later, it runs perfect, driven 366 days a year, towing, and loaded with tools or heavy Home Depot items.
Repeat customer, I travel from Long Island for this shop and I'm frequently stuck in traffic for hours on the GW Bridge. Trans: never over-heats, and shifts perfect.”

“I've been bringing my old 08 Nissan here since 2022. I can't recommend them enough. They do great work, don't take advantage of any lack of car knowledge, won't nickel and dime you, and they are overall everything needed in a mechanic.”
“My 2020 GLS 450 had no heat. The dealership told me they wanted over $8000 to basically replace the entire heating system. Not to mention they had replaced all these parts about a year and one day ago and would not honor their warranty.
Hans was able to get it fixed for under $1000
He completed the work in one day.
They used good parts and were clean and courteous when servicing in my vehicle.
The place is a bit tight, don’t let that scare you. I highly recommend them.”
“I have been bringing my cars to Rich at 3 J's for many years and have never been anything less than fully satisfied. He knows his stuff, provides honest assessments with no pressure, and he's an all around good person to work with. 5 stars all around.”
“Victor has worked on my family’s cars for years, and he’s someone we trust completely. He’s always honest, which matters more than anything, and he never tries to upsell or push unnecessary work. He’s also the person we can count on in emergencies — he always makes time to help. We do not want to forget Tito...He is a great mechanic. He is always ready to help us..My entire family uses this service..
His prices are fair, his work is solid, and he’s consistently reliable. If you want a mechanic who tells you the truth and stands by his work, Cheo One Auto is it.”
“Always grateful to Jim, Virgil and staff for working with me on a tight schedule to repair my old Baby Benz. Runs fantastic. Sometimes you need the most experienced mechanics, even if it costs a little more. Thanks for keeping the dream alive!”
“I brought them my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee to K&K, It was burning oil and misfiring like crazy. I talked to the owner Noah who told me I needed to rebuild the engine and gave me the best local price after quoting a couple other shops. I also purchased the extended warranty for the 3 years. So far after 18 months my truck runs better then new, no more burning oil or misfires. Thank Goodness I didnt trade it in and buy a different truck.”
“Just walked in here to get the auto insurance inspection and the owner (Mr. Bounty) went above and beyond to help me. Will definitely recommend this place for auto repairs and inspection.”

“Great and cheap gas station. All is good, but the pump furthest away from the office does not take credit or debit cards, so if that's what you use, don't pull up there.”
“Excellent customer service very professional and most of all very punctual! I’ve been going to Steve for 4 years due to quality and consistency would highly recommend if in the Garfield area.”
“Thorough, experienced and excellent service. They performed 30,000 miles service on my Cadillac. Very pleased with the service, I highly recommend. Thank you Tony.”
“They are People of their Word. The price they tell you is the price you pay. THEY ARE VERY HONEST.

“Great service and great staff. We refer many of our customers to Frank for installation of engines and transmissions. They are always satisfied with the work that has been performed. We highly recommend this shop for anyone in the local Paterson NJ area.”
“Let's face it, we all live a very busy life whether it is with work, kids, school, etc. and when something goes wrong with your vehicle especially with transmissions the first thing that crosses your mind is, time & money. Not only was Lorenzo very professional and very thorough when explaining what the issue was, but also he was done fixing my truck's transmission in only three days and to top it off the price was very reasonable. When it comes to transmissions, I highly recommend this place to all my Northern New Jersey folks, because of how effective and reliable they are and for the fast turn around. My truck runs very smoothly now and I'm back to my everyday routine. Thanks Lorenzo ??”
“I had my 2008 Ford F-250 brought in after some shop screwed up my front end at a place in Ny state. Total Performance is the best shop in the AREA hands down , the guys fixed my front end, rebuilt my rear due to it was howling, starter replaced , and now I’m bringing my truck back for more work to be done cause Ford sucks when it comes to rotting. My truck is lifted with 37x12.50r17 2 door supercab with an 8 foot bed. I couldn’t be more happy with the work they have done all the times replacing those parts that I listed, and the staff are amazing and I can’t forget the owner and his lovely wife that helped me with my quotes. If your looking for a Professional 4x4 Specialist’s either Diesel or Gas or even a car I would highly recommend Total Performance In Mahwah. Thanks Total Performance for saving my truck !!”
“Vehicle would reverse at idle, but would not accelerate in reverse. If vehicle was parked nose down on a slope, would not back-up due to slippage in transmission. Took it in to R&J.
Todd is a straight-shooter, honest guy, very thorough and collaborative. Transmission is fixed and
I would recommend R&J to anyone with transmission issues.”
