I would only Recommend coming here for basic needs Oil change Tires That’s all No real mechanic work can be done here and if they say they can do something that seems very expensive I would just go to a real mechanic because that way you know the job is done right

We blew a tire (couldn’t avoid a large piece of metal laying on 787) while traveling through the area on a Saturday evening. After we were turned away from a Firestone (it was very close to closing) these guys got a new tire on our car and saved our vacation. They assessed the damage to our rim and were honest about needed repairs. While the tire was being changed out, they showed me the condition of my rear pads and rotors and gave me options for repair (instead of telling me I needed the most expensive, time consuming thing done to the car). In addition to the new tire, I got new pads on the back brakes. All of this was done inside an hour of their scheduled closing on a Saturday night. I know their guys were wanting to go home, but they took care of us and dealt with us with integrity and honesty that is so hard to come by with mechanics. I’d trust them again with my car in a heartbeat.

Khan Intentionally overcharged and took advantage of my willingness to pay for something that he knew cost less than $ 20 dollars. I ended up paying $130. Go to someone who won’t take advantage of your pockets. It was my first time there I won’t be going back.

Mr. Khan is an honest, straight shooter with outstanding customer service. I went in for the replacement of 1 tire but was so impressed that I've come back for more service on my other cars. Definitely recommend.

Most-stop-shop Auto Service. They buy and sell vehicle too. I have confidence in their service and repair. All basic services can be taken care of here. Intermediate repairs such as mufflers also. The price is mid range. Customer service is great and most staff are active, knowledgeable and on point with service. Pros: Great customer service, skilled technicians, median price range, multilingual [English, Urdu, Pashto, Dari, Spanish] Cons: For sale cars not always available, as-come serve basis. [Put your bid in early] Recommendation: None at the moment, Keep up the good work!

I would not recommend. I bought a car for $2500 and the engine needed a tune up as well as it having a seized caliper, in which I had to pay $554 for new brakes rotors and calipers. The guys will tell you anything to sell, he told me nothing was wrong with the car. Only to find out that I needed to pay for other things. Disappointed.

Bought a used Kia Rio 2009 from this dealer after researching dozens of vehicles for sale across NY. Checked TSBs, Recalls, and common issues for engine, tranny, front/rear differentials, electronic, body, etc, before settling on this gem from Khan's auto service. If you don't want a lemon, do your auto research and you won't get a lemon. Shahbaz was happy to take the Kia to Smith's Auto, where it was inspected and 3 things were taken care of the next morning before I went in and bought it! Shahbaz delivered it to my home after he got off work the same day, and the day after I had plates on the car. Shahbaz does his work professionally and ensures the paperwork is all set so you don't miss anything when going to the DMV. This makes two auto businesses in NY I've found to be professional quality and thorough. During the test drive before buying and driving after purchase, I noticed the gas pedal was grindy/sticking. I took the car to Smith's where they confirmed the accelerator cable had chewed through the plastic bushing and was grinding against it's metal housing. Upon calling Khan's auto, I was assured it would be taken care of under warranty, after the part was ordered I would be notified. Fantastic service!

This shop worked on my 13 yo hand me down and abused car. They kept it going for reasonable prices until I could get a newer car. They let me know ahead of time the problems I should anticipate. The owner and his brother are kind, courteous and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this shop.

They con you to believe things are wrong with you car! Had lights on in my car. Con told me I needed a sensor for my brakes changed in order for the lights to go off. Gave me the code and everything! Paid $50.00 for it at Pep Boys. Con says they would put it in for $80.00. I get a 2nd opinion somewhere else..all I needed was brake fluid

Brought a car here...and it thus far the worst experience ive had buying a car. They lied about the true condition of the car, costing me more money and valueable time in fixing the vehicle three days after the purchase. I took the car to a different shop and they inspected my vehicle, and told me whoever sold me the vehicle shouldnt have never passed the inspection. Im still working on repairs to drive the vehicle while i save money to repair the vehicle to driveable and safe condition. These guys will rip you out of your hard earned money and time. I urge anybody trying to get service here or buy a car to please go somewhere where you will be treated and respected for who you are. If i had the time and money to legally fight these people, i would. You will win the case!

Its good besides I was told the van I bought needed nothing, less than a week its in the shop because it wouldnt start. I am hoping its the recall of the ignition, so it doesnt cost me any more money.

Google says people typically spend 20 mins here, that s not because fast service, that because they re deceiving people and it s takes about 20 mins for people to realize it, then they go elsewhere. Don t give them business they don t deserve it.

Run !!! Do not come here they will raise the prices after doing the service !

March 19, 2019

Highly overpriced for simple work. A change of rotors and brake pads can run you over $400. They a sign that say $85 an hour for labor but they still ended up charging more than that even tho they can get the job done in 30-40 mins. STAY AWAY from this place.

All my friends had bad experiences at this shop. Especially this little short mean spanish mechanic that did my mufler messed it up bad, and had the nerve to scream at me!. My cousins tire fell off, and they also poked wholes in my radiator to get work done, as I came early and caught the tech. they also have a garage in Albany on 409 broadway which is just as WORST. UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT WHICH IS WORST THAN THE OLD OWNERS..BAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDD SPOT
