Reviews
We were in town visiting family for a wedding celebration. I noticed vibration in the front end of our Honda Pilot, and at the advice of my brother (local resident), I asked if Bob could check it out Friday afternoon. Having a full schedule on Saturday, Bob slipped us into the schedule, made the repair, and got us on our way back to Florida. Great service/great communication/honest and friendly staff/fair pricing- strongly recommended! Barton Parker, 08/11/2024 |
We've been looking for a trustworthy mechanic for a while for our 2018 BMW, and we finally found one! Bob went above and beyond to make sure he completed the work quickly, despite unforeseen issues. No upsells, and they clearly know what they're doing. We'll be back again! Eliana Medina, 08/08/2024 |
Heard great things about Long Hill Auto and tried them out today to have my AC recharged. I went in knowing I needed brakes and front tires. I met Bob (owner) and he said “We’ll start on your car right away but we want to keep it a bit longer to look at the car front to back since it’s your first time here.” He called a few hours later to say “We’re all done but you’ll need front tires & brakes soon…everything looks OK”… Their price was half that of the dealer and their service was incredible. I’m a new (long term) customer. Steven Wilk, 07/18/2024 |
