East Side Auto Service

Wow, I didn’t expect this level of service as a new customer. David and Samir were patient and kind throughout the entire process. I had seen both older and newer reviews but decided to give this place a try—after all, how bad could it be just for an inspection? Plus, it’s not far from my apartment. I’m really glad I took the chance. It seems the shop is now under new management, and it shows. I’ll definitely be bringing my car here for all future services. So glad I found a place I can truly count on! Julie H

I would give 0 stars if I could. Biggest scam in Manhattan. Took my sister’s car to get her AC checked as it wasn’t cooling. He told us the compressor needs to be completely changed along with condenser and hose issues then sent us an unclear video of the interior to show damage. He gave us an estimate of around $1000 of parts that needed replacing and fixed. We decided to take the car to the dealership to get a second opinion. Got in the car and the air filter was taken out completely. We had to go back and ask them to put it back in. When we took the car to the dealership, they ran all kinds of tests and there was nothing wrong with the compressor. No leaks or anything. All they had to do was add freon and the AC was perfectly cooling again. In fact, they said that the video he sent us

Went in to get my heating checked out. After the mechanics checked what was wrong, David, (the new manager), made sure I understood what the problem was and what needed to be done. Even told the mechanic, Freddy and Carlos, to show me and explain what was wrong. David was fair on the pricing and realistic on the time frame. I had a great experience and even noticed how other customers are treated. David gave respect to everyone and made sure to take his time with the customers so they understood their situation. I have recommended this place to my friends and will definitely come back if I have any other issues with my car.

Need to check this place out if you need an inspection or any mechanical work done!!! David, and his nephew took over this business 4 weeks ago, and they are terrific reliable mechanical experts who only recommend what you really need and get the job done so efficiently and professionally. Their services are outstanding including their pickup service which is super convenient and hard-to-find in the city! And price was also muuuch better than the others. Feels like I finally met a mechanic who I can trust when I have another car issue.

David is top class. Came in for inspection, helped explain and show why I needed some new brake pads. He was helpful and willing to sacrifice his time to ensure I was taken care of. Will definitely be back! Very organized. He just took over 2 weeks ago and is clearly trying to flip the negative reviews of this place!
