What customers said about brakes
L & B Auto RepairWe’ve taken our car here twice and they work fast. Chris is super friendly and helpful. He listens to what you have to say and explains everything simply. No upselling at all - pay in cash and he always gives you a great price Can’t recommend this place enough!
Moe’s Auto CenterI had very good experience with them whenever I need help they are always there for me.Their service is really good and knowledgeable as well. Thank you so much Moes paji
Manhattan Auto Repair Inc.I have a 2011 Lexus 450RXwith 127,000 miles on it. The guys brought the old car, which was running OK, back to life for what they tell me is the next 125,000 miles! Shocks/Struts/Breaks/Fluids/alignment etc etc.... All at a great price compared to a dealer. I want to thank Ozzy and the team for a job well done! I highly recommend
Sunnyside Auto Repair, General Au…I’ve never had a better experience with a mechanic in New York. My 2003 Corolla had been squeaking and moaning, but no other mechanics were interested. Alan, the manager here, was not only interested, he and his mechanic, William, fixed the issue — the front brakes — perfectly, and cleaned the rear brakes as well.…
Bay DiagnosticAmazing service ! I came for a break fluid flush for my 2020 BMW and they worked diligently and quick! I do Recommend making an appointment as they can become very busy very quick! Will definitely be coming back for all my routine maintenance
L & B Auto RepairThe fact that it's in Brooklyn makes it even more outstanding. You won't find a more reasonably priced, and thorough mechanic, as well as a consummate gentleman who treats your car as his own. Thank you Chris!
