The quality of work is strong, but, what differentiates this shop from several others that I ve commissioned vintage refurbishment work with is the clear and systematic communication on a project s progress.All too often, I send a car out for work, it s gone for a year+, and I m not sure where we stand in the process.Not these guy. Cardone and Daughter Automotive communicates with detailed updates and next steps.

Cannot thank these folks enough.I encountered an unexpected problem with my vehicle and needed help so I could drive it home safely.With no appointment, they went out of their way to fix the problem, and got me back on the road quickly.I had never been a customer in the past, but they treated me like family, a rare trait too few businesses have these days.Seeing all of the great all cars on the lot didn t hurt either!

first off, the shop is cleaner that most peoples house. when I saw the variety of cars being serviced I was sold.I brought my 2023 chevy c8 for its first oil and filter change service and could not be more impressed.The care to every detail was above and beyond what I have experienced at a dealership in the past...they love my baby.Thanks Don and your entire crew for superb service and knowledge ,you guys are the best!

One of the most honest and respectable garages on the shoreline - Cardone and Daughter will take care of everything from a 1928 Model A to a 2017 Honda Fit with the care and integrity as if it were their own. They work on any year, any make, any model, and that s no joke! Just stop by and take a look at what they re working on; the Open Shop Policy allows anyone to stop by and check out what s going on in the shop during business hours, and there s usually some pretty cool cars out there! As for getting your vehicle fixed there, Cardone and Daughter offers the most effective and comprehensive work I ve ever seen. I recommend a Safety and Maintenance Inspection for any car, this affordable write-up checks all points of the car and lets you know what needs attention first. From there, they check in with you to see how to proceed, and their top-notch techs work their magic! At the end, you receive a nice write-up of literally every step they took to repair the vehicle - overall a very transparent process so you are involved and understand every aspect of the repair. Bring your daily driver there for honest and proper work or your vintage vehicle for the knowledge and skill it ll take to repair it - Cardone and Daughter does not disappoint!Side note: every spring and autumn, Cardone and Daughter hosts an Open Shop where customers and friends gather with their vintage cars, pop hoods, and catch up! It s a great way to check out the work the shop has done and chat with current customers about their experiences.

I brought my Mustang in for repairs 5/22/23 .Three days after dropping it off I called to see if there was any updates and to discuss a specific concern. I was told they haven't done anything with it yet beside check basics and drive it. I would gave preferred to hear that, they just havent had a chance to look at it yet.I did make an appointment for this repair. I was frustrated to hear they are only playing with the car and might get to work on it next week. I voiced my concern and was told to come and get it out of their shop. So I did. It must be nice to be so busy that you can treat customers that way. I am aware there are two sides to every story but as the customer, that is how I perceived the situation. Now I have a very dusty/dirty car from their dirt parking lot with fingerprints all over it. I expected better from these guys.Services: Engine repair, Wheel alignment

If you have a vehicle that mechanics refuse to work on because of the vehicle's age or rareness, then Cardone & Daughter is the place to go.Their operation is the most thorough and genuine one I have ever seen. Nothing leaves the premise until they are 100% certain that their work and repairs are truly complete.Furthermore, there is not a vehicle under the sun that I am aware of that they would turn down. Extraordinary cars are the daily routine at this shop. Don't take my word for it, go there and ask for a tour. I know this because I worked there as a mechanic for a few months.Four - star rating because of how the owner views his employees - disposable. The owner exudes an unmistakable holier-than-thou mindset.All that being said, if you need work done to any car old or new, and you want it done correctly, you will find no better shop.

The only place around where I know I can get my car worked on and expect stellar results! I have an old Jaguar and the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. They even let you walk around the shop and look at all of the cars they re working on! If you have an unusual or old car, bring it here.

With such great reviews I see on here, it was very surprising that you recently told an elderly gentleman that his 84 Trans Am (of which that had been featured as a pristine example of the 3rd gen Firebirds at a recent AutoFair exhibit for the 50 year anniversary of F body cars) was junk with painted over rust underneath and basically worthless. You offered him a fraction of what that car was worth and said it had 130000 miles on it and not the 30,000 -of which I know for a fact was correct. Why would such a supposedly reputable owner do such a thing knowing full well that car was likely the best you d ever seen of its age? Just so you know, he ended up taking this to a reputable garage of whom confirmed that it was indeed an immaculate low mileage vehicle and in excellent condition. They had nothing to loose by telling him the truth. Thankfully he did not take your advice and loose out on this amazing vehicle so you could resell it for thousands more or keep it in your collection.

I brought in a used Jeep I was considering buying. They did a very thorough job and it was well worth the money I paid for their inspection of it. I didn't buy the Jeep. They saved me a lot of money!Everyone I dealt with was professional and courteous.I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

These people are amazing. They put my ol' 1972 TR-6 back together, tuned it up so it now runs better than it ever did.

These folks are the real deal for older and foreign cars. Fairly priced and no trying to get you to do more than you should. No upselling.
