They tried to rip me off with the bmw telling me that after I ordered the tires that it needs an alignment and it did not at all scam artists of course don’t trust these people

I’ve known John since I was 17 years old (which was 22 years ago) when he operated a repair shop on the other side of town and I’ve never used anyone else but him (unless of course I was out of town).
They always stand by their work and if something goes wrong, they admit it and of course they repair it without charge. I see a post below stating that they’re racist, rude etc. and that’s far from the truth. I’m Asian and I’ve never encountered a shred of racism. In fact, if they order in lunch and I happen to be there for a repair, they offer me whatever it is they have whether it’s pizza, Greek food, Chinese, you name it.
I was once stuck 40 miles away on Rt 287 when my catalytic converter blew and John got on the phone to find a tow truck company affiliated with him so that I’d get preferential pricing for the tow.
John’s right hand man, Ozzy, is a fantastic mechanic as well. On one occasion when I went in to get my alternator fixed, he noticed that my cigarette lighter receptacle was sticking out and the wires were frayed (was like that since I bought the car). He took it upon himself to fix the connection and wiring without charge. I also recall a time when Ozzy drove me home because I couldn’t find a ride (albeit I only live a half mile away).
Want another example? I recently went to get my brakes checked because it didn’t feel right. Most shops would tell me I need new rotors, pads and charge me $ 500-​$ 600. Not these guys. Ozzy adjusted the rear brakes and i was out the door.
Oh here’s another one: I needed a new engine on my Honda Accord (stick shift). Dealership quoted me $ 6,000!!! I went to John and he found me a perfectly decent used engine and while he had the engine out, he agreed to do the clutch and water pump/​belts all for $ 1,900. That used engine went another 150k miles before I sold it.
Maybe I should get newer cars so I’m not living there but you get the drift. I trust these guys and they’ve never disappointed me.

Ignorant «mechanics» or technicians. I asked my father to drop off my car for an oil change, brake fluid flush, and rotor replacement while I was out of town. I work in NYC so I did some minor town driving then a couple weeks later on a road trip the brake fluid light came on. Thought to myself, «Okay maybe they didn’t put enough in so I’ll add some next chance I get.» Several minutes later I lost all pressure in the brakes and barely made it to a local gas station. After some fumbling around I found they had not properly refilled the reservoir. Filled it back up, bled/​pumped, closed off the valve. Three weeks later (today) I discover that what actually happened was they damaged the caliper and it’s now leaking fluid. Thanks guys!

ZERO STARS!
Awful, awful place!
Employees and owner come off as very nice — they are, in actuality, rude, racist, and anti-​Semitic. They made inappropriate comments while we were there, saying that bad auto parts must have been made by «Gypsy’s or Jew’s»!!!
And if that weren’t enough, they couldn’t perform a simple oil change correctly and I wound up with an awful leak because they couldn’t put the filter on properly. Oh yes, and they essentially said I was being an over-​anxious woman because I had a concern (which was perfectly valid) about my car.
So in case I wasn’t already clear, DON’T PATRONIZE GODWIN LUKOIL!!!
