The 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!

The reviews didn’t lie. Chris is a great person and businessman. He runs an honest shop with a great crew. If you’re looking for a new go-to mechanic, this is a reliable pick.

If I could give Chris and his crew more than 5/5, I would. High quality and high value expertise that beats any dealer / shop in town.

When I got an insane quote from a certain chain on 4th Ave in order to fix an urgent issue on my older car, I got the recommendation from some neighbors to call L & B and so happy I did. On the phone, Chris quoted half of what the other place was going to charge and was able to turn it around in 24 hours. He kept me…

This is the only place we take our cars. Always helpful, very honest, great prices. We even called Chris for advice and recommendations when buying a new car.

If you’re seeing overwhelming reviews about Chris, it’s cuz it’s true! i called Chris the day before my road trip and he had my car fixed within the day, and was very mindful of my time sensitive trip. No BS, no upselling, reasonably affordable. For someone who dreads car problems, i’m excited to have found my go-to mechanic. Cannot recommend enough.

Chris (manager/owner) was a nice fellow and seemed to know what he was doing. A few years later this requires an update. He's the best mechanic I've come across in NYC in terms of price and honesty. I added an extra star 3 years after the initial contact with him.

I can’t say enough good things about L&B Auto Repair and especially the owner, Chris. I originally found this shop through Reddit recommendations, and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve made when it comes to car care in the city.

Family owned shop that I’ve been going to for years. Always honest, always fast. Really stand up mechanics and people. Chris, Kevin, and their Dad Ahmad are really the best.
