Central Valley Auto Repair in
North Valley Stream (NY)

I came in as first time costumer the staff was kind and friendly they quoted me a fair price for the labor as a woman it’s always nerve wrecking to go to the mechanic but they were kind honest and the work was done quickly they will be my new mechanic going forward and I’m grateful for their service would recommend to anyone who wants a honest mechanic.

This place is incredible. In two hours, everything I needed was fixed. I went to Star Toyota and they were going to charge me $2,600 for random stuff. My good friend recommended me this place and looked through the inspection report. Muhammad (the owner) looked at and said what is this? Told me what I actually needed (brakes and filters) and said the rest is unnecessary. It cost me less than half of what Star wanted AND was quicker. If I wanted to do the same thing over there, I would’ve been stuck at the shop for over FOUR hours. I’m definitely going to come back here. Honest people doing honest work

Honestly this is the best mechanic shop in the area! The prices are fair, the customer service is amazing and I always get great quality service every time I come here. I’m never disappointed!

I would highly recommend this auto repair shop. I always come back for a reason. The owner is friendly, courteous, professional and makes you feel right at home as if you were taking your car to expert family member. Had to replace my Catalytic converter and complete my inspection. They diagnosed the problem the right way and even recommended I try a hassle free solution before shelling out $$$. After a few attempts and working together to find the solution it was time to complete the work. Quick and communicated well! Honest mechanic! Your friend Black Pathfinder 2016 - Elviz M

Omg can't express how much i love this mechanic shop! They are reasonable, helpful and timely manner.. big up Mohammad,ali and Christopher there are other workers there too that are helpful..5 star all the time!

I recently found this shop and so glad I did. Excellent service by all. Clear and prompt communication on problem and fixes. Strongly recommend

My number one mechanic! My family has been going here for years. It’s hard to find a trustworthy mechanic but when you do, you don’t let go. They are always honest with me about repairs and even offering alternatives that could be within my price range. I would definitely recommend!

The worst mechanic shop I have been to. Charged me $95 to figure out why my AC may not be working.. took 20 minutes and the mechanic gave a notepad that he hid to the owner. The owner told me it was the compressor, which I suggested. I asked what specifically and the owner told me that I have an 11year old car so it’s just the compressor.. not telling me the specifics of what’s failing. He didn’t even tell me the model number for the part, he only requested I buy it from his guy and pay a total of $800. As a female I wouldn’t recommend stopping here. Edit (a response the business owners reply): I am not upset for the diagnostic fee, I’m upset at the professionalism. Charging $95 and not being able to take get the model number to considered just to paying the labor to you is outrageous. Even in your comment you can clearly see the lack of professionalism. You gave no specifics to a paying customer and tried to just tell me because it’s an 2014, what was wrong the part specifically didn’t matter.

Owner does not know the difference between 94w and 94v for the tire, charged me 135 dollar for local brand tire, with a walmart price for the same tire is 80 dollar, when asked, no satisfied answer was provided, i thought, he knows about tires, at least more than me, very unsatified with the service provided

Central Valley Auto Repair mechanics replaced my flat tire and my car (Rav4) works brand new. Thank you for your excellent service!

Brought my 2010 Escalade to Mr. Muhammad yesterday for a power steering leak. He was able to diagnose the problem quickly and was able to get me a quote of repair cost of $610 within an hour. I told him to proceed with repairs. An hour later he notified me he was able to fix the problem by replacing a small gasket. Mr. Muhammad then proceeded to explain he was not going to charge me for the fix because of how small the cost was for him, he instead just charged me for an oil change which he completed! This shop is as honest as it gets! It’s very nice to see there are still honest mechanics in this world that aren’t trying to rip people off on a daily basis. This shop was quick, efficient and most importantly HONEST!

I have to begin with I hate going to mechanics I always feel like I'm going to be cheated and robbed. Well that has all changed for me today!!! I recently found an honest and good mechanic shop Called Central Valley Auto repair. Mr. Muhammad is a very nice man and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I have been hearing and feeling a grinding noise on the right side of my Ford explorer truck for a while. I kept postponing to get it fixed due to not knowing any shops i felt i could trust. I started looking online for the best shops near me. I came across Central Valley Auto Repair. I took my car there and spoke with Mr. Muhammad, he said I would have to leave the truck and he will inspect and give me a call. He call me back shortly with a great quote for the parts and labor so told him to proceed with the repairs. A few minutes later he called me again and stated there was more issues that needed to be addressed with the repairs. The quote for the additional parts and labor was also great and fair. When I went to pick up the truck Mr. Muhammad informed me the truck was repaired and better than when I brought it in and if anything is wrong with his work to bring it back and he will fix it. As I drove the car home I kept thinking to myself this car is riding amazing feels like it was new. Before I reached home I got another call from Mr. Muhammad asking how was the car riding. Now that's what I call customer service. I told him I'm not taking my truck anywhere else for repairs. Central Valley Auto Repair has a customer for life! Mr. Muhammad is the Best!!!

Been coming here for years , by far the best car service you can get and the mechanics are really experienced and make ur car run like new again !!! 10/10 would recommend !!

I’ve bought my car to Mohammed for years. Never have i had an issue once my car repairs where completed. He’s honest, friendly, and his prices are reasonably fair. The best mechanic in Valley Stream my BMW X5 runs like brand new. Great customer service and workmanship! Thanks Mo

Best mechanic shop in Valley Stream. Fair price and fast service.

It's been a fare deal with this shop I haven't been disappointed in over 3yrs from work done by these guys. So I believe you won't check em out. I also recommended them several times and no complaints so why look for any. Atleast check em out will not hurt get a estimate you'll decide. Peace

This shop is a scam. Spent 1600 dollars on my 2010 Honda (I don’t know how either) for it to still have the same problems a month later. Even worse problems. The pricing is outrageous . You guys scammed me in a way where I can’t really do anything about it. DO NOT GO HERE PLEASE LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS !! If you don’t know anything about cars they WILL SCAM YOU!! I have asked many other mechanics and they cannot understand how I was charged anywhere close to 1600 for the “repairs”. You guys are really doing dirty work here.

I took my car for oil change and air suspension pump replacement. The next day after leaving the shop something told me to check the oil dip stick and the oil was black and low they claimed they changed it but never did so I took my car to another shop and they said it was not serviced for oil change . They also charge me $975 for a part that cost $550 from the dealership they claimed they was robbed from where they order it and also on my receipt they had “ repair air suspension pump “ they claimed they made a error and it was replacement but I got it checked out somewhere else to find out it was a lie

My car was not starting and it was late around 5 the owner Muhammad got me a tow to his car shop and fixed my problem I was able to drive to work in the morning no problem. He got me out of a last minute emergency and is fair on pricing and is honest. Earned my business permanently.

Exceptional shop, recommended by my friend who've worked with these guys for years. Owner and mechanics were super friendly and were able to fit me in same day on short notice. They work on all vehicles. Will stop by for my next work. Highly recommended.

Took my Mercedes Gl450 2013 to like five mechanics and none of them knew what they were doing (air suspension) Tony and the other mechanics fixed the problem. I was very grateful, they prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend this place!

I was in need of a last minute check of my front suspension as I kept hearing a clicking noise when I would turn the wheel at low speeds (pulling into a driveway, or a parking spot, etc.). I asked the guys in my car club, NEDC (Northeast Drivers Club) if they could recommend a trustworthy shop that could take a quick look at my suspension, on short notice as I'm planning on taking a road trip in a couple of days and my schedule is packed until then. Central Valley Auto Repair was recommended to me, as it's a fellow member's family business (Maaz). I called up the shop in the morning, and spoke with Tony, who was really nice and he said to just give him a call 30 minutes ahead of time to let him know I'd be on my way. I called and showed up later that afternoon. They had a ton of great cars in their lot/shop. Looks like they do everything from the basic Oil Changes and Inspections, to full on repairs/installs. One of the guys, Chris put my car on the lift, and him and Tony gave it a thorough look and ended up tightening a few parts and added some lubrication where it was needed. Problem solved. These guys were a lifesaver, especially on such short notice. We've all heard of the nightmare stories of going to a shop to get something checked out, and they end up telling you that you need all types of stuff fixed/replaced and that it'll cost $$$. Not here. Everyone was really honest, and kept me in the loop every step of the way to show what they were looking at and what they found to be potential issues. Work was quick and honest, and they weren't trying to cheat me with the bill. Huge thanks to Muhammad, Maaz, Tony and Chris!! All great guys and will definitely recommend them to anyone that needs anything done to their car. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks again to the whole team at Central Valley Auto Repair!!

Honest Auto Repair! The name should be Honest Auto Repair, I have been going to Mohammad and Tony for years for all my cars. Discovered them by chance when the axle locked up on my new SUV all of the sudden, the tow truck suggested Central Valley because they were the closest shop, they could have said the axle needed to be replaced or sent me to the dealer, instead they figured out that the brake shoe had broken and jammed into the axle shaft, $100 bucks for a new set of brakes. Have never done wrong by me or any one that I sent to them. There's a reason you'll see 50 cars in their parking lot, they have a very loyal following. The only shop that will touch one of my cars

Owner is extremely kind and humble. They took me in on short notice and did an excellent job. The rest of the staff were helpful as well. They work on all types of vehicles. Highly recommend getting work done here. Thanks for all your support!!!

Central always takes care of me and my business van at a fair price and with speedy service. Always explain the job and are trustworthy people. Hard to find in a mechanic. So glad to have found my new shop for my go to mechanic needs.

I was recommended by a friend to Central Valley a few years ago. I was really looking for one shop that I can trust. Like really really trust. And this was the one. The owner is super friendly. The mechanics are very knowledgeable. And they work with you to get you exactly what you need and beyond. Never had any issues coming out of the shop and I have taken several cars in for all types of repair. Never fails. Highly recommended

I have been going to Tony auto repair shop since I moved to Valley Stream 20 years ago. Tony is a gentleman he is very attentive to you mechanical needs. He explains everything to you and gives you a price before he starts the job. He warranties his job an goes above beyond to get the job done. He gives you a time to pickup the car and calls to discuss further details of the work that may be further needed.. Thank you Tony.!!!
