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.

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.

great people - I have an 03 Jeep Wrangler, I made my piece knowing its always gonna have something going on with it - but L&B is great at letting me know what should be fixed and what I can live with not fixing. They know owning this thing is a labor of love and do their best to keep it running smoothly without making me go broke.
