Doms Ultra Service Center

I’m really disappointed in this place. Mechanics get offended when everyone thinks they are just out to rip you off, but theres a reason that there is this stereotype and this place just proved it for me.
I took my car in for an oil change and found that I needed new front tires. I could see the tires were badly worn myself so I didn’t feel scammed. However, I was charged 128 per tire and when I looked them up later, they are 70 dollars each so I got ripped of 58 bucks PER TIRE. Cost of labor can’t account for that because I was charged for that too. I have to drive out of town for thanksgiving so I didn’t do too much research before agreeing to buy the tire’s from Dom’s and I just trusted they were being fair. Really disappointed. I will make sure to tell everyone I know to steer clear of this place, except for the oil change, which was done fast and inexpensively.

Took my Honda for a tranny fluid change! The filter is in a line outside, so their is no need to drop the pan and takes 3 to 4 quarts. He wanted to use some aftermarket fluid and charge me $ 120 had it done for $ 40 with the proper fluid!

Wow! What a rip off. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE FOR A STATE INSPECTION! Or anything else for that matter. Took my car in for an inspection and was told my car would not pass inspection due to a license plate bulb being out. The charge to replace the bulb would be $ 25! Really? A bulb that small costs no more than $ 5 and I could swap it out myself. When I told them this their answer was that I would have to pay the $ 37 any way because the car was already hooked up to the machine and it would fail inspection. Not to mention, the so called mechanics are a bit disrespectful. Never ever going to this place. Might even call the BBB due to all of the same negative reviews on Unilocal about this business.

I’m so appalled by what scam artist the people who work here are. I wish I would’ve read the reviews beforehand but alas my car inspection had expired and I needed one done ASAP. Being that this place was close to home, I decided to make the quick trip.
I get there, tell the guy at the front that I need an inspection, the guy takes my information and my car is taken in. I wait about 15 minutes, then I’m informed that the inspection failed because one of the tires has a nail in it… hummm…weird. The guy mentions that I need to get TWO tires replaced and if I wanted he could order them and have them replaced within 3 hours. He then proceeded to print out a sheet with the tires he recommended me to buy (at $ 350 each). Umm ok…
Something just didn’t seem right, so I declined his offer but still had to pay the inspection fee. The next day, I take the car to a different mechanic and explained the situation. The mechanic was so confused about why Doms repair shop failed my inspection, he said the car was working fine and my car passed inspection, no problem. It looks like Doms was just trying to get more money out of me by making something up about my tires. Such unethical businesses practices.
Please avoid at all cost!

Showed up with an about-​to-​be-​flat tire, on my way to a wake of all things. They bumped me to the front of the line and even sourced the right tire from another store for me, all in less than 20 minutes. Dom was easy to deal with and very friendly — really made what could have been an othewise-​awful experience much easier to deal with. Thanks again for the help and the fast turn-​around.

If I could give negative stars, I would. There were three times I had gone there and luckily, the third time, I was able to get them to give me my car back and I avoided being ripped off BIG TIME.
The first time, I came in with a flat and they charged me $ 20 to plug it. This was when everyone else was charging $ 5 – 7. The second time, they charged a whole lot to change the oil. The third time, the passenger side mirror, just the mirror part was broken by some vandals. Dom told me it needed to be completely replaced, the whole apparatus for approx. $ 600. I brought it somewhere else and for 50.00 they replaced JUST the mirror part. I’ve never heard anyone say a nice word about the business practices of this place.

Dom and Sun corners has always been terrific. Use to be run by someone we won’t mention, but even then service and politeness were number one. Had a wonderful experience today for bodywork, that a certain pair of brothers, around the corner, were two inept to solve.

This service station cannot be trusted. We had our car inspected, and it passed. Then less than a month later, we found out that the brakes needed to be repaired, at a cost in excess of $ 1,000. Bad enough. Then when I went to renew my state registration several months later, I was told that there was no inspection on record. The service station must have neglected to send the inspection in to the DMV! This is something you would think they know how to do. I will not give my business to them in the future.

Dom saved me over $ 400 when he repaired my brakes, charging me less than Audi as well as dropping me off and picking me up from work without charge. Didn’t try and sneak in any extras which is a first for a single woman approaching an auto shop. Will come back anytime I need anything. Thanks Dom!

I went in today to have my Jeep inspected. The service was pretty good and the guys who helped me were friendly. I was in and out in 15 minutes.

A real shark. I took my car there for oil changes and every time I was told I needed new wiper blades and the mechanic would show me the blades were separating from the metal arm. The last time I went there I checked the blades before the oil change was performed and they were fine. After the change the blades were separated from the arm and I was quoted a replacement cost of $ 39. Also, I was told my struts were leaking and that would cost $ 1500 to fix. I declined the service pitch and paid for the wiper scam. I took the cat to a reputable AAA shop and was told the struts were fine. Avoid this place unless you are anxious to be ripped off.

Terrible. Screwed me over. I meant to go to riverdale auto next door and ended up at this horrid operation on accident. My car was sounding loud. He replaced engine mounts (weren’t even a year old) plugs, all kinds of crap, and car sounded louder when i left then when I brought it in. $ 1500 and car sounded LOUDER. They rip you off don’t go.

I never notice when my inspection expires until I get a ticket for it, so I’m always in the situation of having to get it done ASAP before I get another ticket, finding myself at the mercy of whoever I can logistically get my car to quickly. Well these guys took me in right away, had me in and out in a half hour (with an oil change also), and didn’t try to tell me a single thing was wrong with my car… not even the standard windshield wiper replacement that they all tell you you need (I’m thinking those things shouldn’t have to be replaced every single year, right?). In fact, it wasn’t the place I was actually looking for, but my GPS took me there so I just went with it. The owner actually offered to take me to the place I had been looking for. Who does that?

It has taken me few weeks to get around to post this. I am hoping I can save someone from getting ripped off. I took my Jaguar 2000 XJ8 82,000 miles in for a oil change, and they quoted $ 165.00 for synthetic oil. I assumed that it would be more because of the oil being synthetic. I asked the to put regular oil back in the car. They told me OH NO. You can never ever put regular oil back in the car again. The engine with never run right. Not knowing any different I told them to put synthetic back in. Once they had the up in the air, one of the Mechanics clearly was having some kind of issue with finding something. I could not tell what. But three guys came over to help him. I was starting to feel very uncomfortable. The owner came in the waiting room and said very nastily, ’ its going to be $ 180.00 plus taxes’. I am not taking a loss on the car. I said very nicely, ’ Please take my car off the lift.’ The short of it: Took my car to Jaguar of Manhattan. The put regular oil in my car. $ 96.00 plus a car wash. What con artists.

Avoid if you can. I brought my car here just because it was just close to home and needed a routine oil change. Granted my car requires synthetic oil and it’s always pricey maintaining a European car. Still, I knew it would be over $ 100 since that’s the going rate for a high performance car with synthetic oil. Somehow they still managed to bamboozle me by overcharging me for the light bulb changes.
They changed out two lightbulbs and charged $ 55 for parts and labor that took less than 2 minutes! Each bulb costs less than $ 9. I’m not a novice and I’ve replaced my own front headlights and would have done the job myself but I didn’t have a torx wrench kit to access the panel. They can keep the money but rest assured, never EVER again will I go back there.

I took my car for an inspection. I was told that my car could not pass inspection. I was told my brakes were «metal on metal» and also the rotors needed to be replaced. This would cost $ 449. The mechanic removed my sticker and failed my vehicle. I paid the $ 37 fee and left. My car is very well maintained by the dealership where I purchased my car (3 years ago). Since my car is registered in New York I can not have the inspection done in NJ. Since I knew that needing brakes immediately could not be true I left without an inspection sticker. I had friends check my brakes and they showed me that there was surely enough padding left to pass inspection and no way did I need rotors. I went to another station and had my car re-​inspected for another $ 37. fee and passed my inspection. Do yourself a favor and find a reputable inspection/​repair station.

do not go here. it is not under new ownership… the same owner is there that loves to rip women off!!!
and to the mechanic that sped thru red lights and almost hit me you are in big trouble

I realize that when reading through reviews one must be leery of who is writing them, however my story is pretty similar to one other review. I went to Doms auto shop to get an inspection. I left with a 155 dollar charge and an estimate for 2400 dollars worth of repairs. Mind you I have a 5 year old car that receives regular maintenance. Overall I was charged for a diagnostic that I did not ask for nor was told about and after checking supposed prices on auto zone Dom wanted to charge me triple the price for parts and repairs. If you are looking for an honest, professional business, this is not the place to go.

Dom is a straight up crook. I fell for his scam once but will never fall for it again. Long story short: I took my car in for inspection. Dom quoted me over $ 2000 worth of necessary repairs to pass. Took my car to another more reputable mechanic (next door) who fixed everything for less than $ 500. Bottom line: Dom is a crook who will try to get your money by any means necessary. Avoid this place like the plague!
