Central Jersey Automotive in
Keyport (NJ)

Excellent service and pricing. I had a time sensitive issue and needed my car fixed ASAP. Steve and his staff went above and beyond to get the part I needed and installed before I had to change my plans. This is the only garage my family and I will be using from now on. I was also impressed with Rob at the front desk’s customer service and he was a super nice guy. Extra bonus points that Rob was able to quote Alice In Chains while we chatted while I was checking out! These guys are professionals, through and through. If you’re looking for an honest mechanic, stop scrolling, you already found what you need at Central Jersey Automotive.

Honest and reasonable and they do quality work

They're honest, reliable, and don't try to sell you things you don't need. That's what you want from an automotive shop, and Central Jersey Automotive outperforms. They service my mother's 2009 Toyota Camry to perfection, and the price is always fair. I would highly recommend them.

Fantastic guys. 5 stars is not enough. Steve the owner is so kind, fair and a stand up business man. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH.

The boys over at central jersey automotive are top notch! You will not find a more upfront and honest shop around. I would never go anywhere else!

I’d give 6 stars if I could! I don’t trust anyone except these guys to work on my car. They’ve rebuilt my whole motor, replaced brake pads/rotors, and plenty of other random repairs you’d expect to need on an old Ford with high mileage. Always great customer service and incredible pricing.

The best HONEST Mechanics in the area. Adam and Steve are the Best.

Adam and Steve are the best, most honest mechanics and businessmen that I have ever dealt with. I pass at least a dozen mechanics on my way to them and never think about going anywhere else!

Best shop in the area! (I've tried a few) Responsive and courteous. Prices are fair. They work by appointments (unless is an emergency I assume) but worth the wait.

My co-worker recommended this auto repair shop and I'm so glad she did. I had an amazing experience from start to finish. Steve and Adam were so friendly and knowledgeable. The job was done promptly and the cost was very reasonable. I will be going back to them for all my car repair needs.

Best service I've gotten from any mechanic in the tri county area they tell you exactly what's going on, and let you know exactly what needs to be done to your vehicle. They work with you to make sure you walk away happy, and can get back on the road safely. Every other mechanic I've been to a few other mechanic and have been told me I've needed so many different parts and services. They don't try to upsell you they just give you absolute quality service everytime.

I have two vehicles, and I get them worked on by these guys. I have been going to them since 2016, they are terrific, and very honest. It took me a long time to find a trustworthy auto mechanic shop, so I am eternally grateful For this place to exist. Thank you guys. You have my business, loyalty, and support 100%!! Brennen Cole

Super honest amazing trustworthy people. All workers very friendly and help you become more knowledgeable of your vehicle. Took their time with no rushing. I would 100 percent recommend them to anyone. They will be my forever go to on all my vehicles. Reasonable with pricing. A huge relief going to this place after hunting for the right auto ahop

Very honest and straightforward! Will help you complete your job as economically as possible. My job would've been 5 times more expensive if Chris hadn't figured out an ingenious method of accomplishing the task at hand. With most shops it's the other way around. I mostly like to do my own work but some things are better handled by the professionals like Steve and the gang at central jersey automotive. I hope I don't have to need their services again but if I do I'll be happy to work with them!

The best mechanics in jersey! Iv brought many of my cars here and they always had them back on the road within a few hours no matter how big or complex the job was! Thank you for never turning me away and always being so helpful!! Only shop I will ever go to, highly reccomend!

Multiple times Steve and Adam had the opportunity to "sell" me a job. Each time they advised me HONESTLY, stating that the jobs were not a safety issue and could be pushed back or were unnecessary. These guys are honest, knowledgeable, and dependable. They have earned my trust and business. Highly recommended!---GF

These guys are more than just mechanics, they are partners in helping maintain your vehicle for a longer life cycle. Highly trusted, reliable service at a fair price. Thank you Steve and Adam!

I love this place! Adam and Steve are great and very knowledgeable. They really look out for their customers and provide top notch service at beyond reasonable prices! They don't mind showing you the ins and outs of your vehicle and why certain things are needed. Their transparency really helped me to feel safe learning with my vehicle and sounding my money. I've recently had my brakes done here and plan to use them for all my car's (I have a 2016 Fiat) mechanical needs. I would definitely recommend!

This was my first time selecting an auto shop on my own for something other than the basic oil change. Central Jersey Auto came up as highly rated and recommended. I called them this morning for an issue and they were able to have me come in within a few hours. They fixed the issue and took care of something else while I was there, too. Rarely do you leave places like this without having spent extra money. Steve was extremely nice and did inform me of some issues that might come up soon, but I did not feel pressured to take care of them immediately (as some places do). I will definitely come back when I need an auto shop and would recommend them for sure!

These guys are the BEST. I can wholeheartedly trust them to be fair and provide great service. They even came back at the end of service once with a cost lower than their own quote! Talk about honest! They are very nice guys and well-known in the area. Seeing Central Jersey Automotive is a great way to support a local small business. You will not be disappointed.

Adam and Steve have been working on my families cars for years. They keep our cars safe and running well at a fair price and without upselling like many dealerships seem to. Good service by good people, I highly recommend them.

I have been going here for years, and they are amazing! They are always so friendly and always have smiles on their faces. No matter when I call or show up they always greet me by my first name. When it comes to fixing your car they fix it right and do an amazing job. The car is always ready when they say it’s going to be. They have my business for life!

It’s comforting to know I’m not going to get ripped off when I drop off my truck. I often feel Steve is too nice and honest for his own good. Thorough and excellent service helps as well. Referred all my family and friends to him.

Recommended by a friend who told me they’re reliable and honest. And THAT is exactly what they are. I will not take any of my cars anywhere else. They are thorough, they’ll make honest recommendations and what I appreciate most, is they never push unwanted/unnecessary repairs. My daughter’s car stalled on her way to school. Concerned, I left it with them to check it out. They phoned me, told me everything looks good, there was nothing wrong, no repairs warranted, gave an explanation as to why it may have happened & didn’t charge me for the check up! Anyone else would had found “something!” I trust them. They’re the BEST! Stay FOREVER!

Steve and Adam are the best! They have been honest, realistic and very practical for years on multiple cars - old and new(er). They have been great with everything from simple oil changes and awesome new tires to replacing an entire exhaust system and many other types of jobs in between. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here for years, since I got my first car at 17 til now (and I'm 27). The work has always been reasonable, affordable and honest. All of the people who work there are great. I've never had a bad service. The owner will tell you what you need and not try to sell you things you don't. Always gets work done quickly. My family has and will always take our cars here for service. Beat mechanic in the area.

I've been using these guys for years and they have always done right by me. They are flexible, get the work done quick, and have always done a good job. Best of all they don't try to add in extra repairs that aren't needed, in fact I've gone in a coupe times thinking I had a problem and it turned out to be a minor issue and handled for much less $ than I thought it would cost. Honest and competent is about as good as it gets for an auto mechanic!
