East Side Auto Service

I don't ever write reviews, but I think people should know about my experience. I didn't have a problem with them a year ago. It seemed like completely different people owned this place. Passed my inspection, and even fixed some tiny things for me like the reading lamp for free. A few months months ago, I went in to this auto shop to get my car inspected. They told me my tires were cracked and my right headlight was out. They told me a ridiculous price for their used parts and labor, and I said no. I fixed it myself for more than half the price with new parts. A month later, I returned. My car may be 21 years old, and I may be two years older than her, but I know and take care of my car. There is nothing wrong with my car and if there is, I fixed it myself. These people told me, I didn't drive it enough which is a lie. So I needed to drive it 100 more miles, BUT TO THE DMV, told them I had no brakes! How could you drive with no brakes? I didn't know this until I brought my car upstate to have it inspected because shops in the city only care about squeezing money out of you, especially if you LOOK LIKE you're young. I just LOOK young. You think I'm stupid, I know you'll crash and burn.

Not even 1 star!!!! Stay away from these scammers terrible business and owner!!!! Establishment worker gave me a price for a wheel alignment of $70 and then once the job was done the owner changed the price to $100 and told me they will not give my car back unless I pay the new price. Even his worker told him it's $70 and the owner said No it's $100 or she will not get her car back. Even the worker was disgusted with his scam robbery!!!! Then owner proceeded to say he will charge an extra $30 on top of that for any credit card charge. Stay away from this establishment!

Came here a while ago and it was a horrible experience, felt like I should warn people. Please stay away. There’s better auto shops in the Barrio with honest people. It’s really the owner . He will rip you off and lie to you about problems with your car. I should’ve gotten a second opinion but it was emergency. An employee gave me my keys and copy of receipt, looked at it and shook his head. Said how I shouldn’t have paid this much and he was sorry because this was wrong and they lose customers because the owner rips people off. :(
