Spar Auto Services in
South Plainfield (NJ)

Whenever I have to take in my vehicles for service we receive the upmost professionalism and reasonable pricing. They never overrecharge for services and tell you exactly what needs to be done. Nothing added that" we discovered " after the car is on the lift. I highly recommend this shop.

Spar Auto service with front liners Al and Ryan having been servicing my car for a couple of years now and they have been doing such a great job. Staff members are friendly, professional and they absolutely know what they are doing. If you need a mechanic with experience and knows what they’re doing, look no further. Thank you for your service!

This is the go-to auto shop you can really trust. I've been bringing my cars and truck here for years, whether it’s just routine maintenance or bigger issues. They even helped me out when two of my cars had transmission problems by recommending a great place for replacements. The staff knows their stuff, they're professional, and they always treat customers right.

I was recommended Spar Auto by the Auto Glass Co next door. Prior to taking my car to Spar, my car was serviced by Toyota. I must say that AL and his staff are extremely honest. Toyota informed me 2 years prior that I needed a rear sway bar. After Spar checked, Al informed me the sway bar was still in good condition. Today I took my wife's Toyota to Spar for 4 service lights on the dashboard. Spar serviced the car in a timely manner and I picked the car up the same day. Al and his staff always treat me as a valued customer when the Toyota needs service. They are also professional, courteous and knowledgeable.

Picked up my 95 Dodge Dakota that I am currently restoring. The Spar Auto team members, particularly Al and Ryan have been great with this process! They not only handled my mechanicals, i.e. front and rear shock replacement, total front disc brakes, calibers and rotors, also the rear brakes and drums, oil, filter & lubrication. They have also completed some custom Mopar color painting on select engine parts and my underbody. Spar Auto has a pretty good team of technicians! Last, but not least, I've been a customer of Spar Auto for 15 plus years. Al and his team have supported and kept up various makes and models of my and my family's vehicles. Thanks, Al

I have SPAR auto since the last century. They are great about working with you when you need to get your car serviced. They always communicate the estimated cost of service along with the time it will take to complete the service.

The first time I brought my car to Spar Auto, I couldn't get an appointment with my regular mechanic and I needed my brakes checked. They got me in checked my brakes and found they were fine. They didn't try to sell me a brake job. Since then, I've been bringing my car to them for service. These guys have been great every time. They're honest and professional. Also nice guys.

I've been using SPAR auto services for years, they provide great service. They are honest and open about the service needed. Al is great to deal with, he always has the customers best interest at hear. I will continue to get my cars repaired/services by SPAR auto.

This is my go to mechanic now! They always have great customer service and are accommodating for different schedules to bring your car in. I have only good things to say about this place. The owner is warm and welcoming and makes the whole process easy.

I’ve been taking both, my personal vehicles and my company fleet vehicles, to SPAR for ages. They’re the most trusted, dependable, and knowledgeable crew I know of. Al, Ryan, and the rest of ‘em are pros, but what I value the most is the fact that they’re happy to educate - adding an extra layer of consumer confidence. Recommend for sure.

Dealing with Spar Auto for nearly 20 years. Always excellent service and care. Never had an issue, I’m always confident that Al & his team are honest and reliable.

Definitely recommend Spar Auto Service for your vehicles. Al and Ryan are very honest and care about their customers. Had an oil leak due to a dealership overtighting my oil filter. They took me with no appointment and fixed in 1 hour. All my worries were gone.

I had to get my car towed from my house. The malfunction indicator lamp was lit on dashboard. I was not sure what the problem was; called AAA services which towed my car to Spar. First, Wayne with AAA is fantastic. Just a recommendation if you ever need towing (DeFalco Towing). Now to Spar. Received call from Ryan re diagnostics and process. Intricate skills required to remove engine and replace bad sensor. I was able to pick up car after 2 days. Al called me to pick up car. Such a personable business man. Told me they drove car for about 10 miles (no issues); he noticed windshield wipers needed replacement. New windshield wipers and sensor in engine - mucho $$$ later but totally wowed by the service I received first time around. Will definitely consider using their services again. Keep up the amazing customer satisfaction SPAR and thank you so very much. Abundance in blessings

My family has been using Spar auto since we came to New Jersey almost 20 years ago. We have gone through several cars since that time and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. They have integrity, no up charges or surprises and repair your car in a timely manner. They will let you know what is or isn’t urgent and what can wait until later. They have also checked all used cars that were buying prospects and gave me honest feedback. If you want a mechanic that you can trust, this is your place.

Customer service at its best!!!! Purchased brand new tires from them which they also installed. They said it might take a little longer then expected so they were so generous to offer me a car for a couple of hours so I can run my errands. They take care of the locals very well. They were amazing!! Great job to the staff!! We appreciate you all!

Really reliable service. Al and Ryan are honest and trustworthy. They've been taking care of my cars for the past two years. Al has integrity and holds his business to a high standard of care towards his customers and their vehicles. Interactions are excellent and communication is clear. Highly recommend!

I have been using Spar Auto for over 5 years and have been consistently happy with them. They do great work, on schedule and efficiently. On the rare occurrences that there was a remaining issue they take responsibility for it, sometimes with no extra charge. Their rates are reasonable and they provide good explanations, so i never feel that I have been taken advantage of. The customer waiting area is clean and actually pleasant, and staff members Ryan, Al and all the rest are really nice people. I have had tires, brakes, oil changes, exhaust work done over the years. My 11 year old Toyota is running better and smoother than ever now, and I have Spar to thank for it!

Best and most honest shop I've ever been to. The owner and Ryan (the best) take their time to explain exactly what the car needs as well future maintenance needed. I have been coming to this shop for about 6 months now and they literally do magic. They are fully responsible for both of my cars being on the road. Great customer service . No other shop will touch my cars as long as I'm in the area. Recommend 1000% for anyone in the Middlesex area.

My 2012 Chevy Traverse overheated. After towing from one auto repair shop to another, I finally brought it to SPAR. Although at that point I knew exactly what I needed (recommended by Chevy Service), SPAR ran their own diagnostic and did the necessary repairs step by step, ensuring after each part replacement if the matter was resolved before replacing all parts at once. To note, I needed a whole cooling system replace; thermostat ( replaced at Chevy), radiator, water pump and heater core. SPAR only had to replace Radiator & water pump and made the executive decision to change the serpentine belt. Needless to say, SPAR saved me over $1K in repair compare to Chevy Service quote. The communicate was exceptional (Al was very thorough) the service was FAST! In just 3 days my car was ready and running better than before! Feels like a new car ride. Most definitely recommend SPAR and will for sure be back if needed. Lastly, Al even called to follow up and make sure that all was good. Cant beat that! Thank you Al and your team! Great job.

I've been taking my cars to the same Mechanic for over 15 years, but recently relocated to another area and a friend recommended that I try Spar Auto. Glad I took him up on his recommendation. The staff was very professional. The prices were very reasonable and as promised the work was done in a timely manner. I too will continue to use and recommend Spar Auto.

I have been going to Spar Auto for about 12 years now. The reason I began going is because they had a sign outside noting that they were VW certified (and I had a Passat at the time), so I was trying to avoid going to a dealer and getting ripped off as I'd read really bad reviews about a few of them. What I didn't know is that they service all kinds of vehicles that you might typically think that have to take to a dealer. Al, the head mechanic there is ridiculously HONEST and always gives you a thorough and frank assessment of your vehicle's issues. Ryan and Victor are very competent and professional and always provide exceptional and thorough service. An honest mechanic? Isn't that an oxymoron? Can't even begin to tell you how many times I've felt a mechanic was over diagnosing my car issues just so I could spend more money. I actually live about 35 miles away and I'm still a customer as I can't imagine taking my family's vehicles anyplace else. Trust them wholeheartedly. Try them. You'll love them too. (:

I recently took my 2008 BMW to Spar Auto Services for a quick ground strap replacement. The gentleman behind the counter, Al, was very professional, explaining the repair process and providing me with a quote for the job. I was happy to hear the quote as the dealership was going to charge me 3x that...so I went ahead and told Al to do the job. I was in and out of the place within an hour. During the time, Al was also friendly and we chatted about different auto repair jobs and I told tell he had a vast knowledge for car repairs as he has been in the business for about 30 years. I will take my car to his shop every time now going forward, he is honest and straight forward with you. Thank you Al for the great service!

Great service from this place. Al was incredibly helpful in servicing my A4 and diagnosing the underlying issues I have been having. He made sure to call me with updates and explain exactly what the cause of the problems were. I had already known that I had quite a few things that needed to be fixed - oil gasket replacement, sensor replacements, etc. - and it was all done in a timely manner. Al is very experienced, and also with German cars. Ryan was incredibly helpful and friendly as well. Will definitely be returning for future servicing.

I always receive excellent service from Spar Auto. Al, the manager, is an honest guy, and he definitely goes the extra mile to take care of your car. The work there is quick, dependable and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

I've been using Spar for over 7 years now. Al and his team always take good care of my vehicles. He is truly a honest mechanic and has great deal of knowledge of many different makes and models. He also is reasonably priced (which is great!). Thanks Al!

Al and the guys are always available to help out as best as they can! I feel they're honest and work hard to keep their customers happy. I haven't been sold services I didn't need and Al has personally looked for deals and better prices on parts. I've recommended Spar Auto to others and will continue to do so whenever I have the chance :)

I love the service the Spar Auto provides. They are very trustful & likable people and they treat with utmost respect to their customers. I have already recommended couple of my friends & family to go over there whenever they have any problem with their cars. The owner is friendly and won't charge much for the work. You can trust them and they aren't like the other mechanic guys who charge more and tell us to replace parts which are not even in a bad condition.
