My experience with auto gadgets was amazing! They came in and got the job done in such a fast time that I was able to drive off to work and had time to spare. I would highly recommend that if ya Benz needs any work done they are a one stop shop!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lewis for some specialized electrical auto repairs on my BMW. He cloned the DME and flashed new maps for me, all outside of regular business hours. Lewis is highly skilled and professional—he completed the job quickly and efficiently, and my car is running better than ever. I appreciate his flexibility and dedication to getting the job done right, even on a tight schedule. I highly recommend Lewis for anyone in need of expert electrical auto repairs.

Do not trust this guy! He will take your parts saying he will fix them and never come back with them!! He wanted me to pay him before finishing the job. He will say he doesn’t know me or never had business with me but I have a video and pictures of him carrying my parts into his car. So don’t try me! I will post your face every where I can to prevent you from doing the same thing to other people!…. There you go sir, the picture you kindly ask for. Thanks for not been professional while replying my review. That’s exactly what I wanted so people can see the kind of person your are. If you want the video I can definitely send it to you.

First And foremost I want to say big thank you to LOU From Auto gadget, he was very well, precise, knowledgeable, and definitely on point. I received a emulator to bypass my electronic switch lock ESL of my Mercedes C 300 as soon as I Plug and play The car started right up with no hesitation, and it only took him 20 minutes to receive my emulator once gave him my Ignition switch. I highly highly highly recommend anyone to this man he’s definitely on point with pretty much anything electronically.

I have a w212 with an eis malfunction that’ll cause the car to throw itself into park at low speeds. I bought a good used eis with key and needed someone to program it, transferring the data from the previous one onto the new one in order for it to work with my vehicle. I wasn’t able to find anyone in Brooklyn who was knowledgeable enough to do the job without charging a ridiculous amount. Fortunately I was able to find Lewis on Facebook marketplace and he assured me he can do the job. I made the trip all the way to Mount Vernon from Brooklyn with both eis and he was able to program it for me right then and there in his car. He even showed me proof after it was done and pulled up the data with the new eis plug in and showed me that the data reflected the same vin as my vehicle. This man is knowledgeable, friendly and very affordable! A honorable man of the people for the people! Don’t hesitate. Call Lewis!

Been skeptical to come for some years and decided to give them a shot. Lewis fixed my head unit with car-play and he knows his stuff with euro cars. Highly recommend him, his prices are very reasonable and he s honest

April 9, 2023

This was hands down the worst service I have ever had. This guy does not answer his phone when you call him and then proceeded to tell my I am annoying him by phoning to find out what was going on. I took my car for electrical help. He was unable to find parts he needed so I had to find the parts myself and when I dropped the parts off it took 3 days for it to be installed after my car still wasn t fixed. I went to pick up my can and waited 4 hours for them to fix a problem with the brakes that wasn t even a problem when I dropped the car off. Be wise with who you let work on your car this guy took me for a ride.

April 9, 2023

Dont trust this guy. He kept my car for over a year and let inspection sticker expire. I paid hundreds in parking tickets. He never answers his phone. I went there a year later and couldnt find my car on any of the streets he claimed he parked it on. Garage that he claims to work in wont even acknowledge that they know him. I am filing a police report soon. I think he sold my car or stripped it for parts. Beware of this con artist

April 9, 2023

WARNING WARNING WARNING Please people dont have this guy work on your vehicle. He is a big con artist. Look at all the bad reviews of unsatisfied and angry customers. They cant all be wrong. I noticed he always reply to defend himself but they are all lies. Funny how he doesnt pickup his phone but he can come on google to reply to negative reviews. I personally have had horrible experiences with him. He doesnt work for the garage. He parked my vehicle on the street. He cant be found when he holds your vehicle for months. Save yourself the head and find a real mechanic with a legit garage

This place is absolutely amazing. Lewis (the owner) is so helpful and knowledgeable! He programmed my first key for the car when the old one got lost. Almost 2 years later I came back to him because the Mercedes dealership sold me a non working brand new key. He quickly figured out all the problems and got the key to work with the intended keyless go features! Dealership took no responsibility for their mistake and quoted me 1500$ for a new EIS system for the car while Lewis solved all of my problems for a fraction of the cost! Pleasure doing business with you!

★★★★★

I was furious that the dealer charged me over 800 dollars for a replacement cluster that you would think spending that much money they would have it preprogrammed but that wasn t the case so I searched around after taking my part & came across autogadgets nyc who actually answered my phone during after hours I spoke with Luis & literally the next day I meet up with him & he fixed all my electrical problems in an hour. Extremely helpful & professional.

I originally called Lewis for 2 cars, one no start, the other rough.. he did his diagnostic tests and within a short time he fixed the first one.. started right up, but he was not happy with the way it ran, so he made it perfect.. long story short, I collect mercedes and he fixed the ones I had even the most minor issue with!! Highly recommend if you want a quality service and a reasonable price! Showed up and communicated throughout the entire process.. I look forward to having an issue with a car I get just so I can get him back again!

Lewis was a great help. He got me a functioning key quickly and even showed me a video so there was no doubt that the item worked.

Thank you!

He fixed my cluster, helped get me a tune, and gave me a whole bunch of knowledge that is only benefitting me right now. I couldn t be happier. I ll definitely be coming back for the radio upgrade, and most likely more than that. If you need work done on your audi, bmw or benz. Then this should definitely be your guy.

I needed to add Bluetooth functionality to a 2007 Audi A8L that I bought on eBay because despite the awesomeness of the car, it was severely lacking in entertainment. A thorough search yielded not many people handle this car because of its complicated electrical and electronic engineering. Luckily I found Lewis on a YouTube video of a demo he installed in a similar car online. I called him up, setup an appointment, and deposited the car in his care to perform the installation. During the course of the installation he uncovered several problems with the electricals of the car and some cosmetic which he graciously fixed pro Bono. He was able to give me money saving tips and I can assure you that an independent mechanic would have charged me at least 5k or more for the outstanding work Lewis did for a fraction of the cost. He has a good standing with the dealerships which he can leverage to get you a lower price and is very patient with your questions. He restored nearly 95% of the former glory of the car and all because he loves the Audis. Now this is a genuine mechanic and as the old adage goes - good mechanics and doctors are keepers. Needless to say, hes got a customer in me as long as I own an Audi.

I took a chance on pursuing service from this company and I have to admit that prior to receiving the service I was skeptical, but when I arrived and met the staff, I could tell he was very knowlegible about what he does. Also the customer service he provided me was stellar. Not only did he worked overtime until the job was done, but he also assisted me with transportation. He was very patient with me and he made me feel comfortable because he had everything under control. If I had to sum it up, the owner of this company is Good People and I plan on recommending him to everyone I know thats interested in the kind of work he does. Hes fair and on point. On a side note, be sure to leave snacks in your car accessible to him while hes working long hours on your car. He like reeses candy bars and rice crispy treats. LOL
