“Service was prompt and professional. Filters and the like are always good recommendations, but you really shouldn't be offering to flush brake fluid without checking the bleeders. So, with that said, they probably vacuum out the reservoir and only replace that, leaving the rest of the system still contaminated. My two cents.”
“George the owner has been servicing my vehicles for the last 30 years. He looks over your vehicle no matter what it is and shows you the issues / explains how he can resolve the issue in a fair and reasonable price. I trust in Port Jefferson Car Center, George serviced my son vehicle last week, I was anxious, right away reassured that my son’s cross country trip would be in a vehicle inspected and serviced by George, later found out new brakes and tires were needed. So happy with the fast and efficient work done by Georges crew! I am put at ease when I call, always presented with a friendly, “Port Jefferson Car care , this is Jennifer , how may I help you ?” This means to me there is care here, the introduction of his business is always friendly, helpful and happy welcome.”
“As someone who is very picky where I take my car, this place has checked off everything on my list! The staff is very personable, and you can tell that they take every car in their care seriously. They spend time on each car and don’t treat their customers as just money makers. Mike will oftentimes throw a service in for free; Which he has done with me! Mike definitely pays attention to details when it comes to fixing up your car. The pricing is slightly high, but not crazy. However, it is worth every penny since they not only carefully look at and fix the vehicle, but they also thoroughly clean it inside and out! I recommended my family to go to them since I was the first to find them, and now they all get services done at Mike’s. You can tell they care about their customers so much so that they sent me and my family a thank you card in the mail! I definitely and 110% recommend this place, especially since I have been to so many mechanics and know even more people who work on cars. I know a decent amount of people from the car community, and will recommend Mike’s to them.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Michael’s. My son goes to Stony Brook U. and was sideswiped pretty hard near the college. My son took his car to Michael’s and they fixed his Audi perfectly. Wally was super nice and kept us updated throughout the process. Car looks fantastic”
“I needed a NYS safety check for my Tesla. Paul and his team made it happen w/o an appointment, in 10 mins, and for $10. This is unheard of (after previous experiences with official dealerships and small local shops) and I will certainly coming back. Great job, guys!”
“I am always happy with the service and quick turnaround when I come through Family Automotive. It's the reason why my family and I have been customers for years.”
“DAVE is gentle and professional he took care of my tires. Honest price and he gave a full check of the truck and i didn’t even ask for. This is how service should be! Great job!”
“My mechanic of 25 years retired and the new owner was lacking in customer service skills. I decided to look for a new mechanic.
I read the online reviews about Maximum Automotive and decided to give them a try. From the moment I walked in, Steven was very polite and attentive. Their work was completed in a timely manner and they took care of my automotive needs. I will definitely use them again.”
“Joe and his staff give excellent service,prices are beyond reasonable, Joe always gives me a heads up what I'll be needing for future service, very happy to have Joe's mobile city tire in my corner”
“They are always busy, so that is usually a good sign for an automotive shop. They are knowledgeable and professional. I described my car issue with several other mechanics in the area and they were the best in troubleshooting the issue.”
“I came in from three hours away on vacation. This location took me in right away gave me the best deal possible and also alerted me to some very dangerous issues that I had with my car ! super grateful for them. They took the time out to show me exactly what was happening with my own eyes in real time. Very nice and polite 10 out of 10 would recommend this location”
“Being from out of town on vacation This establishment made my experience very pleasant. All the employees were welcoming, Helpful with positive energy every step of the way. I would give them 10 stars. You will not be disappointed when coming here for service. Thank you all for your service. *Sundays Mom*”
“Walter fixed my 2002 T-bird. Brakes, oil change and a belt. It’s raining like a dream.
I recommend them and I’ll be going back there again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Service.”
“Will is perhaps the most honest, straight-up mechanic I've ever met; and a good brake-guy, too.
I had a stuck brake caliper. He charged me about HALF of what the local MAVIS tires wanted to replace it. He also fixed an AC problem that he could have charged me an arm and a leg for; and asked for only $20. A 'lazy' servo under my dash was keeping the ports shut, except for the ones you use to defrost your windshield. Any other outfit would have charged me a $1,000 to first pull apart the dash.
I have other things needing done with my 17-year-old Chevy Avalanche, and I was really thinking of selling it. But, with guys like Will around, I think I'll keep it. I brought my son home from the hospital in it, and in a couple of years, he says he wants it.
It ain't too pretty but it's the perfect winter-beater; and that 4WD system with 'Granny Gear' and On-Demand AWD saved my life on at least one occasion, pulled a really big boat out of the water at an unimproved ramp in the Middle Keys (when guys pulling smaller boats with their F150s were barely able to get out and slinging a ton of mud in the air in the process), and regularly towed that boat to the Keys and back from Jupiter, FL; at highway speed!
It's a great system and can only be bought on new trucks and SUVs to the tune of $70 large. I think I'll keep it.
Besides, in 2 more years it'll cost $0 to register.
Will - thank you, man...you made me realize in only a few words the value of the thing.
UPDATE: Under new ownership and the new owner (Raul) is clearly capable and willing to do the jobs other, more 'established' shops (read: 'in' the mob) are unwilling to do. Thanks for getting my truck back on the road, Raul. You'll be getting my business for the 3 vehicles my company owns.”

“I've been taking my cars to Brakes Inc since they were by Uncle Guiseppe. They work on cars and trucks. I've had basic diagnostic work, catalytic and muffler work, head gaskets, and I shouldn't forget to mention brakes. They are reliable and honest. Highly recommend.”
“George is wonderful and my family and I only bring our cars to him. He's a truly skilled mechanic, very friendly, honest, professional, and an effective multitasker. Always gets my car done same day. Very affordable and fair pricing. I'm never disappointed!Services: Oil change”
“I've been going here for years. Jerry is an amazing mechanic and very honest. I drive all the way from Manorville if i need work done because i know im getting quality and honest service. I have never once had any issues going here and i would recommend this shop to anyone.”
“1st time here & the service was excellent Lexi and ken I believe were their names worked so well together. Great communication and trusting when offering service update for my car. I love when I have these type of experiences, I will make this my go to for oil changes moving forward.”
“I'm from out of town and had an issue with the car and they were kind enough to get me in right when they opened the next day to look. They really helped me out and it was a quick and painless visit so to speak. I would highly recommend going there excellent service.”
“So I recently bought a lightly used Mercedes, shortly after, some very loud and concerning sounds from under the car and from my wheel came about. Long story short I brought the car to several places as well as a “street mechanic” or 2 and also the Benz dealership. All said they heard the sound well but had no idea what it was and could not find the issue. I brought it in to calleja for my last stitch effort, desperate to find the issue. Tony and his crew knowing that I was a car guy and had some past experiences working as a mechanic invited me into the shop briefly to show and explain what they did and found. Very friendly and informative. Turns out it was a simple embarrassing issue that I was mad at myself for not finding and even more mad at all the shops that didn’t find the problem. A bad broken clip on my new brake pad. Charged me a reasonable price for labor and time and sent me on my way making sure all my very sensitive parts and bolts on my car were tightened to spec. I especially love how tony himself got in the car with me and went for a very specific test drive to diagnose the sound best we could. All around a great and honest crew. Definitely recommend there service”
“If you’re going to buy a Ford, see Bryce O’Brien! From the moment I entered, he was warm and friendly. He listened to my needs and spent time explaining the different Broncos, lease vs financing and what would be the best fit for my daughter. I didn’t feel pressured but knew I wanted to buy a car from Bryce. He is smart, authentic and works hard to make his customers happy. I will be coming back in the Spring to get my other daughter a car with Bryce!”

“Peteybuilt automotive have amazing employees that are honest and knowledgeable in all areas ! Always have a great experience when going to them ! Highly recommend 10 out of 10 !!”
“Used this place for 20+ years before we moved away. Sent my mother in law who has zero knowledge of tires. They set her up with a good replacement set for her Jeep Cherokee and she’s very happy.
Thank you”
“Brought two cars back to back for oil changes and tire rotations. Everything went smoothly and professionally. I give Alex the store manager at the Port Jefferson location all the credit. He is well organized and is great with customers as observed by not just how he treated me, but how he treated other customers as well. Overall excellent experience”
“I had just popped my tire outside of city tire and was lucky enough to find Tom who was able to get me back on the road within a few hours! I have a specific wheel so he actually had to order it and get it delivered. Very grateful thank you guys! Fair prices”
“I had the pleasure of working with Jeffrey Bell this past weekend. He was absolutely amazing to work with and we are so happy with our new lease on the 2025 Grand Cherokee L. He was very informative on the knowledge of the vehicle and made sure we picked the right one for our growing family. 10/10 recommend purchasing with him!”
“Excellent!!! Went here for a set of 4 new tires for my wife’s car and the store manager Joe was friendly , knowledgeable and explained everything. Joe recommended the Goodyear comfort tires and the car now rides smooth and my wife loves the ride. Joe never tried to sell me anything I didn’t need like so many places try and get you to spend more than you need. The staff were friendly and location is great. They even had great coffee and TV while we waited in the waiting room. I will recommend to all my family and friends.”
