What we fix
Nine jobs we do every day, priced on the board and done in our own two bays. If something is outside what we do well, we will tell you who does it best.
Check-engine light on?A $129 diagnostic, credited in full if we do the repair.→From $229 an axle · about 90 min
Pads and rotors measured with a micrometer, not guessed. You get the readings and a photo by text before we order a single part.
From $69 · about 30 min
Full synthetic in the grade your manual asks for, a new filter, every fluid topped up and the tires set to spec.
$129 · about an hour
A real test, not just a code read: we find the cause, show you the data, and credit the fee if we do the repair.
Alignment $119 · about an hour
Mounting, balancing, rotations and a four-wheel alignment with a printout from before and after. Pothole season is real.
From $189 · half a day
Struts, shocks, control arms, tie rods — and every clunk the streets of Brooklyn leave behind.
$37 · about 30 min
Safety and emissions while you wait. If something fails you get a clear list and a price, with no pressure to fix it here.
Recharge from $159 · about an hour
A leak test, a recharge and a fresh cabin filter, so August on the BQE is survivable again.
Free test · from $189 installed
A load test in five minutes. Replacements carry a three-year warranty; terminals cleaned, the old one recycled.
From $289 · half a day
30k, 60k and 90k-mile services to the manufacturer’s schedule, recorded on your invoice, warranty intact.
How a visit works
The same way every time, whether it is a $37 inspection or a full brake job — and you can stop it at any step.
Book a bay online or call. Walk-ins are welcome before 10 am for oil, inspections, batteries and tires.
A tech inspects the car and texts you photos, measurements and a written price — usually within the hour.
Nothing starts until you reply. Saying no is fine, and costs nothing beyond a diagnostic you approved.
Old parts in a bag, a clear invoice, and 24 months or 24,000 miles on parts and labor.

Dana · 11:44 amEvery recommendation comes with a photo or a reading. If we cannot show it, we do not sell it.
What we take off goes in a bag on your passenger seat, unless you ask us to recycle it.
Leave the car and we will drive you to the L or your office, then fetch you when it is ready.
Booked before 1 pm? Brakes, oil, batteries and inspections are usually back that afternoon.
Prices
For most cars and light trucks, before tax. Larger engines and special parts can cost more — you will see it on the quote, never as a surprise on the bill.

They texted me a photo of my pads with a ruler next to them. $229, done by four, exactly as quoted. That is the whole review.
Two other shops wanted to replace the catalytic converter. Corner Bay found a sixty-dollar sensor. I will never go anywhere else.
In and out in thirty-five minutes for my inspection, and they told me my tires had another year in them instead of selling me new ones.
The clunk over every pothole on Metropolitan is gone. Fair price, and the old parts in a bag on my seat.
Booked at nine for a same-day slot and had cold A/C by two. Rosa even remembered my car from last summer.

How does a same-day slot work?Book before 1 pm and we keep a bay for you that afternoon. Most brake jobs, oil changes, batteries and inspections are ready by 5.
Will you call before doing extra work?Always — usually by text, with photos and a price. Nothing extra is done until you reply yes.

Will servicing here affect my factory warranty?No. Federal law lets you have your car maintained at any qualified shop. We follow the manufacturer’s schedule and record every visit.
