Our ONLY auto repair center for over 35yrs now. Josh is the most trustworthy of people to do business with. He is above and beyond qualified and ensures his staff is as well. 260 Auto IS the benchmark for auto repair in Rockland County.

My loyalty says it all. Josh has been my mechanic when he was an employee of the business he now owns. That's an awfully long time. I have the utmost trust in his decisions on repairs and never had a reason to doubt him. The vehicle gets fixed right the first time. A++++ customer experience

I went to Josh after my previous mechanic told me I needed to replace my entire instrument cluster. All the lights on my dashboard were flashing like a haunted house.

Josh tweaks and thinks and fiddles until he is 200% happy with his work on your car before he'll let you take it home.

Josh the Owner of 260 Auto is Terrific. My Family and I have known him for Over a Decade. He's knowledgeable, Friendly, and is Always Willing to Give back to the People within the Community. At 260 They work on All Types of Cars. But their Nitch in the Market is Lifted Trucks. Including Anything, and Everything when it Comes to JEEP Which is how we Met So Many Years Ago. We Trust them with All of Our Vehicles, and You Should feel Confident Too.

I went to Josh after my previous mechanic told me I needed to replace my entire instrument cluster. All the lights on my dashboard were flashing like a haunted house. Josh found that "weird" and decided to take a closer look. He quickly identified the actual part causing the issue—don’t ask me the name, I’m not a car girl!—and replaced it. Now my dash works perfectly. If I had gone with the original advice, I would have spent thousands on a new cluster and still had the same problem. Josh saved me a ton of money and fixed the real issue. Highly recommend!

Only place I trust to bring my Jeep, been bringing my Jeep here for years and can honestly say this is the only place to go. Josh always keeps it 100% honest with what needs to be done, recommendations, and what can wait. If you're looking for the right shop to build your vehicle the right way, 260 is the only option. Pay for it once, have it be done right, and be happy!
