I had a very disappointing experience at Glen Oaks Automotive. I was charged $175 for a diagnostic fee that was never disclosed upfront before they took my keys. I was also told it would take two days just to check the issue, even though I had already explained the problem when I arrived. After that, I was given an estimate of $2,800, which felt extremely excessive. The lack of transparency and high pricing were very concerning. I recommend confirming all fees and estimates in writing before leaving your vehicle here.
Took my 2015 Accord in for a valve cover gasket replacement. The mechanic was very nice, and answered all my questions. The work was done quickly, correctly, and for a fair price. I will be coming here going forward. I highly recommend you do the same.
Was helped here before and was satisfied, however, over time I'm noticing a lack of desire to help with a small repair like plug a tire. I was just litelarly told "nah not today" without any sort of "I can help you tomorrow or you can leave your truck here" etc. As he's more established, the desire to pick and choose has certainly taken over.
Super nice staff, was riding home on my Longtail bike when I blew a chain, forgot the chain breaker at home and needed to pop a pin out of my chain to put it back together again(aka emergency repair, not an easy bike to transport so riding it is the best option). There was a kind lad still there only to assume was a bit after closing time or exactly on. But I ask him if he could help and did just that, removed the pin perfectly and because of that I was able to get back on the road home in about 10 mins. Fr I can't say much about car related things, but judging by kindness and workmanship if I had a car I'd go here definitely. Thanks again for helping me, you sir are a legend!!!
Finding Tim and his auto shop was the biggest blessing for my husband and I. My car needed an emission inspection and most of the surrounding places were giving me crazy quotes and asking me to make an appt 2-4 weeks down the line. Tim got me in the next day and almost at half the price. It was such a painless experience!
My husband has been having battery issues with his car forever and we always thought it was the battery. To the point that he was arguing with the autozone employees as to why his car kept dying every 2-3 days. We finally took it in to Tim and not only did he detect the issue but the car was fixed in 3 days. The ultimate test was when the car was sitting for a whole week without being driven. We were nervous it wouldn’t start up but thanks to Tim’s skills, the car started up with no trouble at all. It was such a relief!
Tim is our go-to guy now! Super professional, efficient, and reasonable.
Tim is the best mechanic that I have ever been to. He is the only mechanic that I trust that will find exactly what is wrong with the vehicle and fix it. I always take my cars to Tim and a plus is that he works on Hybrids since I have a Prius. Trust Tim, the honest mechanic.
we started going to tim about a little over a year ago after pep boy tried to screw us over we went to tim for a second opinion he has been our go to mechanic ever since he a very knowledgeable honest and courteous person 😁
I took my 2002 Civic to Tim on a Friday afternoon at 2:30. He was able to meet with me, put my car on a lift right away, and quote me a price to fix my muffler, which had broken off of my exhaust. By 4 p.m. the car was done and ready to go. I will absolutely be coming back here for any work I might need in the future!
This automotive repair shop is under new ownership as of January 2015. The new owner is Tim Amoroso. I brought my 2008 Toyota Tacoma in for a whirling sound from the right rear. Tim diagnosed it as a bad right rear wheel bearing. I then scheduled the repair at a convenient time for me and it was done in two days. Tim is very honest and thorough. He is also very knowledgeable about automotive repair. My tacoma has been problem free since the repair. I would highly recommend this repair shop for all your automotive repair needs. I will be back for any of my future automotive repair.
