This place is a bit shady. I went for an oil change and was told it would be $90. When I received my receipt it was $135. I was charged $4.50 for windshield wiper fluid that I had just topped off myself recently and $10 for coolant. I was not asked if I wanted this. Most places do this for free. I would have rather topped off my own windshield wiper fluid and coolant than pay $15 for this. Additionally, a screw from my engine splash guard was missing. I know because I took it off myself. When I pulled up, the mechanic stated "oh, your cover is broken. I'll fix that for you". I said, "great thanks!" I truly thought he was just being kind. It's literally just placing a screw back on that I had lost. The value of this job is really no more than $2. He charged me $25. I was quite shocked.I definitely won't be coming back. This is such sleazy and dishonest behavior. I'd go somewhere more honest.

They did poor rust repair work on a frame for a car I bought, now I’m out $10000 because it can’t be repaired. They should have been able to identify that the frame was too far gone before spraying it down. They made a disingenuous offer to repair it, but 2 other shops told me it was entirely unsafe to do that. Don’t trust them. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

Hmm...Just went there after a long while and now am being called ma'am. It's weird because I've been going there for years so it's not really as polite as it may sound. Ironically the guy who works there aged himself. Maybe it's due to the pandemic or me seeing the light. On a positive, they are open at various hours so you are able to pick up an odd ball item at a moment's notice. I got toilet paper during the pandemic when other stores were out and went there New Year's Day when the hardware store was closed. So it can be a good experience if you hit it right.

The mechanics here have no idea what they are doing and will waste your time and money.I started having a problem with the AC not working in my car in May of 2021. I read positive reviews on Yelp and brought my car in to get it serviced since it was so close to where I live. Abu told me the freon was out and refilled it, saying he fixed the problem. We also seemed to have the fan speeds not working which he told us was just the way the car is. A few weeks later, the AC stopped working again. Brought it back and was told I waited to long to bring it back so I needed to refill the freon again so they could find the leak - first red flag.Refilled the freon, identified a leak, patched it up and went on my way. 3 weeks later, again, AC went out. This time, I was told the radiator and compressor both had leaks and had to replace it. I had already spent several hundred dollars at this point and this was going to be costly. They cut me a "deal" but I had still spend now over $1k on fixing the "problem" which spanned from May - September 2021.You can imagine my disappointment when the first hot day in April 2022 I turn on the AC to find it is again, not working. At this point, I knew I needed to get a second opinion. I ended up dropping my car at the mechanic in my hometown for assessment which my family has used for 20+ years. They found that my freon was filled entirely with AIR. Not freon - AIR - which was why there was no cold air coming back. They also immediately fixed the fan speed problem which I was told in May 2021 was just the way the car was. The mechanic also suspected that the compressor and radiator replacement had nothing to do with the AC and was unnecessary.I'm honestly not sure what to think - either the staff at Lambros are incompetent mechanics and don't know what they are doing or they have extremely shady business practices. Regardless, avoid at all costs.Service: A/C installation & repair

Abu is absolutely the most amazing, honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable mechanic I have ever came across. He and his staff are very professional and wonderful people, everything is always clearly explained. I recommend Lambros services their integrity speaks volumes!! ??Service: Steering & suspension repair

**DO NOT TRUST****QUOTES UNNECESSARY WORK**I brought my car in for a routine inspection. I had no issues with my car, no lights on, and not expecting any problems.I am quoted several items of work needed. Parts and Labor of $1500. And a very worrisome warning that if I drove my car more than a few miles that it will go on fire (seriously he said it a few time that it could catch fire!)Skeptical, I took my car to another trustworthy Shop down Broadway. I had explained I had first brought my car for an inspection elsewhere and told them what was quoted for work. I didn't mention the name of the shop and they knew right away that it was Lambros because several other customers had the same issue. Anyway, they passed the inspection without any work needed. NONE. That weekend, I drove the car over 400 miles to Vermont and back without any problem. Needless to say, my car did not go on fire.I explained this to a local friend, and he had the exact same experience. He brought his car for a routine inspection to Lambros, they quoted $2000 of work, he went to another shop down broadway for a 2nd opinion, NO WORK NEEDED. He proceeded to drive the car cross country without any issue.They are crooks looking to take advantage of people. Casting doubt on their customers and suggesting that they are in danger if they don't spend thousands of dollars to fix the (completely made up) issue. These are the worst of the worst.I tried to call them back politely to make the manager aware of this problem, but they hung up on me. I hope he calls me, but until then, I hope any prospective customer reads this before bringing your car to them.

Went there a few times for an oil change. And they were good. I used a Groupon for a full synthetic change and free tire rotation. Groupon says up to 5 quarts of oil. I have a 2010 Ford Explorer XLT, that I have personally changed the oil on. I know it's only 5 quarts. The 3rd or 4th time, my wife goes in. They charge her for an extra quart. I call them, and they try to tell me that my car takes 6 quarts. After arguing, they agree to give me the 11 dollars back that they only allowed my wife to pay cash for. Will never go back to these dishonest mechanics again. And such a shame because I thought they were trustworthy and quick and flexible before. Glad I found out otherwise on an oil change, and not something more serious.Service: Oil change

I'm in Irvington resident. Ran out of gas about two blocks from here. I asked to borrow a gas can but instead was told I would have to buy one from them. I think they could've lent a gas can especially considering I have used the gas station, convenience store as well as service area. If you want to be a local service station, you have to cut people a break sometimes and I try to squeeze every dollar out of them. They will lose a lot more than the $20 I spent on lost future car service and gas
