Very satisfied with the quality of work and price. Stanley is a very personable and forthright guy who took the lead on contacting me with info and explanations. Highly recommend this spot and many others locally recommend it as well. Thank you Bradley Car Care!

It's right there in the name; Bradley Car CARE... And this place DOES!!You walk in and immediately get a feel of family (not mine, but the kind you see on tv ) Theresa up front was so sweet and accommodating with my work schedule, an absolute pleasure to talk with as Chuck was looking at my truck. Both him and Dean were phenomenal- very thorough in addressing the issues and concerns I had, and both made me feel very comfortable with the next steps I need to take to keep my girl running smoothly. A place with extremely competitive prices, an absolute phenomenal staff, and all around impeccable service, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to take their vehicle in. And if your not that vehicle savvy, like myself, you can trust their intentions are for YOUR satisfaction, never cutting corners or upselling to try and make a buck. You can bet I'll be coming here for any future needs and services- in fact I'm looking to buy a car from them in the next coming months!A newbie to the area, Bradley Car Care is a denifinite gem of a find, I'd gladly give 5 MORE stars if I could !

Sadly, I won't return. They pulled the $250 upsell for wipers and a filter on a family member, when all that was needed was an oil change. Claimed they saw the car seats in the car and that the wipers were a safety issue.They won that round, but I won't send new work there. A shame, they had been ethical before.

While visiting the area from PA today, I noticed that my car was a little off from usual (heater not working and engine running a little hot). I stopped by this location before getting back on the road for my long drive to see if they would be able to help. I spoke with two gentleman who were able to help me with my problem and get me back on the road very quickly. I would absolutely suggest this business to my friends and family in the area. They are very friendly, professional and fast!

Sold me a battery in 2019 and told me it had a 6 year warranty. It died every year at least once and this last time I had to get a new battery. It turns out it had a 42 month warranty and they lied to me. The 1st time it died they charged me $90 to check my car to see if that was draining the battery. It wasn't it was the 1st bad battery they gave me. I will never deal with them again.

I couldn t be more disgusted. If you feel like getting ripped off...try going here with your vehicle. I went in today for a headlight replacement. 25 minutes later....I was charged $138 dollars for a HEADLIGHT, a connector and labor! I was there for 25 minutes TOPS and charged a full hour of $90 labor. I paid...felt like this doesn t seem right...called someone who knows cars...they said I was Absolutely ripped off and I called the shop. I was polite and asked if they had made a mistake. The guy on the phone told me the bulb took a half hour and the connector took a half hour...hmmmm thanks for not helping a customer AT ALL. I know how long I sat in your waiting room. Thanks though. Crooks. I m local in this area...I will be finding a new mechanic and if anyone I know ever utters the name of this establishment I will make sure they know what kind of scam artists they are. Take your car somewhere else.

The service desk employees always drop me off and pick me up when the vehicle is ready. Very friendly staff. They always contact me with a price prior to making the repairs. Can say enough great things about the service I receive. Keep up the great work. Highly recommend this repair shop.

Thus is how business should be run. Professional people who care about the customer and getting the job done more than making a buck. This place has a staff with top notch integrity. You need a good shop, this is the place

I won't call them deceptive, dishonest, or even inept, I'll let you decide. Brought my car in because I was having trouble filling gas tank. They gave me an estimate of $1800 which included replacing gas tank and several other items. OK so seemed high like really high. Decided better get a second opinion. Bradley Car Care charged me $98 for looking at my care. So the second guy fixed my car for $88 and that included the $5 dollars worth of gas to test it was working. So for less then what Bradley Car Care charged to look at my car I had my car fixed and working again. So now you get to decide what kind of shop Bradley Car Care is. For myself I have some choice words to describe Bradley Car Care but I don't think I would be able to post them here.

It's a strange thing to see coworkers disagree in front of a customer because one thinks the job isn't worth his time. 10 years in Avon and never had a good encounter at this shop.

Went in to fix a failed emission test - replaced my catalytic converter and got me through the test - I checked on the billing and they charged me DOUBLE what the part actually costs. Raised the issue and was told tough - that's the price - liars - all the parts stores in the area had the exact part for half the price.

Crooks! Don't ever take your car here, especially if you don't know anything about cars. My Family and I were in Avon by the Sea NJ when our 2007 Lexus (90,000 miles) blew a oil coolant hose in July of 2015. This place was only a few blocks from the house we were staying and even recommended by some local neighbors. Though they tried to screw me out of about $2,500. Said it was a rear main seal :-/ and the gasket for the timing chain cover. I smelled BS - and after some research I had the vehicle towed to the Lexus dealer. Turns out it was indeed just that a "recalled" oil coolant hose. Which is funny because I brought this to the attention of the BCC and they called Lexus, wanted to send the SUB out there to have the hose fixed and they stated they would repair the rear main and the timing cover gasket second. SUPER Pinocchio! The service manager, Stanley(owner) and even the mechanic knew exactly what was happening. When I asked to view the car while on the lift and they agreed - the mechanic stood there for a minute but was called away to the sales office. I could see their embarrassment and more so Anger in Stanley, the owners eyes and face. When I called them out and said put my car back together - I'm going elsewhere. I contemplated requesting a federal fraud investigation be opened - but soon got over it - karma's a B---H

If I could give them a lower rating, I would.There are a few things that I could complain about, but I'll stick with the main one. When I got my van back, the doghouse (the part that covers the engine) wasn't latched on properly, nor was the radio connected and they had ripped a hole in my leather armrest. I knew they could at least fix the 1st 2 issues, so I took it back to them and rather than fixing it on the spot (since they didn't do it right the first time) I was put at the back of the line and had to leave my van overnight so they could fix it.Once I picked up my van, it took me a couple of days, but I eventually noticed the straw that broke the camel's back. Their mechanics didn't know how to put the doghouse back on properly so instead of calling to tell me that, they screwed it in. That's right, they put a screw on each side through my dash without even asking me.If you value your car, take it somewhere else.

If your vehicle needs a part they order from a wholesaler National Auto Supply, which is 2 blocks away from the shop, and they charge you double what the part sells for. Mechanics cut corners if the job is too difficult. If my car was on fire and I was right next to this place I wouldn't even use their fire extinguisher... STAY AWAY!!!
