Choosing the Best Auto Repair Shop on Long Island

Finding a Trusted Long Island Auto Repair Shop

When it comes to car repairs, experience matters. An established shop with a solid reputation is more likely to provide high-quality service.



• Check how long the shop has been in business. Shops with decades of experience (like us—we’ve been serving Long Island since 1976!) have proven their reliability.
• Read online reviews. Websites like Google Reviews provide insight into customer experiences. Look for high ratings and positive feedback about honesty, professionalism, and service quality.
• Ask around. Word-of-mouth recommendations from family, friends, or coworkers are often the best way to find a trusted mechanic.

A reputable auto repair shop will have certified mechanics and industry credentials.



•  ASE-Certified Technicians: The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certifies mechanics who pass rigorous testing. This ensures they are qualified to diagnose and repair your vehicle properly.
• Manufacturer Certifications: Some shops specialize in certain brands and have factory-trained technicians.
• Better Business Bureau (BBB) Ratings: A high BBB rating indicates a commitment to ethical business practices.

At Dr. Jack’s Auto Repair, our experienced technicians stay up-to-date with the latest repair techniques and certifications to ensure top-quality service.

Not all auto repair shops provide the same services. Before choosing a shop, make sure they offer what you need.

• Routine Maintenance: Oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and tune-ups.
• Diagnostic Services: Check engine light troubleshooting, electrical system repairs, and emissions testing.
• Brake and Suspension Repairs: Brake pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, and shock absorber services.
• Engine and Transmission Work: Repairs, rebuilds, and full replacements.
• Heating & Cooling Systems: AC recharge, heater core repair, and radiator services.

We offer all these services and more at Dr. Jack’s Auto Repair! Visit our full list of services.

While you don’t want to base your decision solely on price, it’s important to find a shop that offers fair and transparent pricing.

• Request a written estimate before agreeing to repairs. This helps avoid surprises.
• Compare prices between shops for the same service. Beware of prices that seem too low—they may indicate subpar work.

At Dr. Jack’s, we provide honest, upfront pricing so you always know what to expect.

A great auto repair shop should be convenient, reliable, and customer-focused.

• Location: Choose a shop that’s easy to reach from your home or workplace.
• Hours: Find a shop with hours that fit your schedule. We’re open Monday–Saturday for your convenience.
• Shuttle Services or Loaner Cars: If your repair will take time, see if they offer transportation options.



At Dr. Jack’s Auto Repair, we go the extra mile for our customers. We offer fast turnaround times, clear communication, and outstanding customer service to make your experience stress-free.

A trustworthy repair shop will stand by its work with warranties on parts and labor.

• Industry-standard warranties typically range from 12 months/12,000 miles to 36 months/36,000 miles depending on the repair.
• OEM vs. aftermarket parts – Always ask whether the shop uses original manufacturer parts or aftermarket options.

At Dr. Jack’s Auto Repair, we offer warranties on our work, and OEM parts so you can drive with confidence.
