Closter Auto Repair

To all previous reviewers - thanks for your inputs. Whether positive or negative, I think user inputs are really important - especially since individual experiences can be very different.

With that said, this is a small shop, operated solo. Prices, as Mike said, will be higher, and turnaround may also be longer if multiple cars roll in. The guy's English is not good.
SO - if you are looking for cheap prices, fast turnaround times, and more than simple communication in English, go elsewhere. It is a consumer's market after all. I am surprised you guys even gave him a chance.

I visit this place because it is close to home, and unlike some others' inputs here, his prices are fair. I work on my car mostly, and when I can't figure something out, or I mess something up, he is very helpful and gladly assists. The shop is also usually empty, so simple things like rotating tires, oil changes with my own oil/filter, etc. are completed very quickly.

Again, it's a consumer's market. If you want a one-stop shop where they are very professional, organized, has expertise, and goes by the book (repair manual), visit a dealership and spend the extra cash. For the little things here and there, stop by and see if he can help. Don't like his English or prices? It's ok - go somewhere else :)

@Justin Park - $50 labor for oil change, air filter, and cabin filter is not a bad price. Most shops charge $60+ an hour for labor, and they all round up, never down. Should've saved yourself time and money by doing them yourself ;)

since the reviews above are hatinnn' im thinking we should just get all the guidos and pinoys to wash trucks at this spot~

Bs price. had my oil, oil filter air filter and in cabin filter. dude wanted 50 for labor. lol asked him to lower price a little. did not do it because his attitude was arrogant as well. do not go here.

@Mike Jones - I do not think I could have got a great job even if I did pay that money. The owner was eating and chewing food when talking to me, that itself shows enough for me to not get service there. I don't care what experience you had, don't relate your experience with mine, I'm just stating what I went through and just wanted to let people aware.-Justin Park

If you want the el cheapo car maintenance then don't go here, go to Jiffy Lube or the gas station on the corner. If you want quality work done at an above average price, go here or the auto dealership. You cant expect a small business location to compete with the national chains who employ inexperienced ITT Tech grads. And by saying this is a Korean scam shop just makes you ignorant. The work is done with quality and that may cost a little but more, but in the long run your car will run better.

Terrible experience. Korean Scam shop that can barely speak English. STAY AWAY!

Owner/mechanic and I agreed on a set price after i told him what i needed done. He decides on his own that I don't need my brakes bled (i.e. fluid changed), but he proceeds to demand the same previously agreed price. Brake fluid is a service that costs about $40-90 depending on the shop. His logic and excuses were extremely inane. He refused to listen to any reason.

After some arguing, he eventually told me to pay now and that he would do it for me NEXT time i came in for an oil change. Why would i want to come back??

Then he starting yelling about how he needs to finish another car now. What does that car have to do with me or my car? Not like the work to be done was a surprise.

Extremely unprofessional and he eventually starting cursing at me, saying he would do it right now then. I did not want this angry cursing a-hole touching my car or even be near it. I paid the guy to not mess up my car or brakes. my wallet got burned and i felt super scammed driving out of there. I felt like calling the police, but too much hassle for something I doubt they can do anything about. You've been warned!
