OMG this place is great! Brought in my car with it's dead battery on a busy summer Saturday morning and he finished the job-- get this-- EARLIER that morning than promised! Thus he avoided me having the expense of having to rent a car, and his bill was beyond reasonable-- cheapest I've ever had from you battery replacement. Judging by the mob of cars there, other have had similar excellent experiences!Service: Battery

I needed an oil change on my way back home from a family vacation. Not only did they fit me into a packed schedule to get me on my way, they were incredibly nice to my family, in particular my 3-year-old. This was, quite literally, the best automotive experience I've ever had. I wish I could give more stars - you guys are awesome!

This review is two months overdue.... On September 3rd the Saturday of Labor Day weekend I blew a tire while driving off of the ferry from Lewes, DE at the Cape May Ferry Terminal. The DRBA officer who came to my aid in the parking lot somehow got Jerry Mancuso the owner of Cape Harbor Auto Repair, Inc. on the phone. And late on a Saturday afternoon of a 3-day-weekend federal holiday, he drove his tow truck to the ferry terminal, picked me and my car up, and drove us to his Shell Station/Repair Shop. While he didn't have on hand a tire of the same specs as my other three, he is knowledgeable enough to know that a tire he *did* have would work fine, would get me to my destination, etc. until I could find and purchase a matching tire. Even while he was dealing with other customers, he got the tire on my car and had me on my way! I don't recall precisely, but I think, when it was all over, I was a mere one hour late to my destination. Considering the way things *could* have gone (I was envisioning having to leave my car at the terminal for three days, and get the problem solved on the subsequent Tuesday), losing an hour was the proverbial "walk in the park!" All throughout, Jerry was warm, gracious, explained things, talked through my available options, etc. I don't know, of course, but I imagine he is beloved and relied upon by area residents he certainly deserves it!Service: Auto tire replacement

2014 Silverado 1500 - Admittedly long post, sorry for that... Towed my mom's SUV from Ohio to Florida, wife and kids flew down for a week then drove to Cape May for family vacation in July. As expected, oil life dropped under 5% while in Cape May so I researched places for service. Riggins was closer but the Shell had better reviews. As an out-of-towner reviews matter.. BUT... I get a call from Jerry that after the oil change my battery was dead and I need a new battery. Never had an issue with electronics or starting during the whole trip. I should have asked what the test reading on the battery was but didn't. They could've been right and saved me from a nightmare on the drive home however all I wanted was an oil change for a truck that ran perfectly when dropped off. Bill ended up $386.00 for an oil change and a battery that was "fine" when I dropped it off. Not OKAYService: Oil change

Jerry ( the owner) was awesome to work with!! Had a nail in my tire and he was able to repair it after another place stated I needed a new tire. Definitely come here if you have a flat/ need an honest opinion. Thanks again Jerry!!!!

We needed air conditioning service on a visit from far out of state and they scheduled us quickly and very courteously. They charged us a fair and reasonable price and did not try to sell us more. Very nice and professional! Honest and nice people who did a great job.

So I needed gasoline for my pickup but at the same time I m hearing a strange noise coming from the front right wheel. I got out of the truck entered the mechanics bay, asked for Art told him my issue and immediately Jerry Mancuso (owner) took my truck for a test drive and in 48 hours it will be in their shop to fix and replace the wheel bearing. They are johnny on the spot to help out a vacationing customer. Kudos to this business.

Jerry was a God send. We somehow picked up a screw in a tire on the AC expressway, en route fromPA. Limped into Cape May on the donut tire. Jerry waited for us past closing time, repaired the tire early the next morning, and put it back on for us in about 10 minutes flat. What a fantastic guy. This business is HIGHLY recommended.Service: Tires

I accidentally left a full quart of oil in the trunk of our BMW convertible as we were getting ready to return from Cape May , N.J. It shifted into the wrong compartment was hopelessly crushed when I put my top down to drive home. The metal convertible top was stuck in the half up position, and it was late on a Sunday afternoon. We were looking at the prospect of a long trip home with the top stuck half up and the crushed heavy plastic oil container still full of oil. I pulled into Cape Harbor Shell Auto Repair after you cross the bridge going out of Cape May. Their mechanic was off duty, but that did not deter the owner Jerry Mancuso from working long and hard to help us. He first figured out how to puncture and siphon out the oil. He then devised a tool to extract the crushed oil container. This took quite a long time, and Jerry didn't even want to charge us for it. Of course I insisted on paying him anyway. Jerry is a wonderful person and great problem solver and mechanic. I highly recommend this convenient location in Cape May for gas and mechanical repairs. Thanks Jerry!

Was in town vacationing for a few days and woke to a flat tire. The B&B I was staying at recommended this Shell for service. I called them and Jerry arrived within 15 minutes to put air in my tire and then I followed him to the Shell station. 30 minutes later they removed the tire and plugged it and had me on my way! Very pleased with the prompt and professional service!Service: Tires

I m from upstate NY, 400 miles from home with my family starting our vacation week In Wildwood Crest when as soon as I roll into our condo I hear my brakes screeching. I looked everywhere the next day for service and no one could get me in, my last resort was Shell. The shop was busy, but they dropped what they were doing to come out and help me. Needless to say I was driving away that night with new top of the line brakes and service that was even better. I will always recommend them for as long as I live and visit the area. Thank you guys. A+++ service!!Service: Brakes

Was vacationing in Cape May for the first time and experienced engine problems. I have no clue about cars, so I googled auto engine repair. The first station that came up was Riggins, so I took my car there. They said drop it off and they ll get to it! Didn t want to do that, so went to the next place on the list. Cape Harbor Shell. A mechanic immediately looked at my car and determined it was my compressor. Gave my my options and an estimate. I decided to have it done, and 3 hours later the car was running perfect!!!!! Also, the final cost was under the estimated cost! The people there were friendly and and had a true concern for me. It was so nice to to be so far away from home and to find people who went out of there way to help. Will definitely return to Cape May, and to the Cape Harbor Shell Station

I was concerned that my brakes needed work, and they were kind enough to take a look at them despite having a fully booked day. Turns out my brakes are still at 50%, and nowhere near needing replacement yet. Their honesty earned my respect, so I returned for an oil change later in the week, when they noticed a bubble in one of the tires which they replaced for me. Their attentiveness saved me from having a blowout accident.

I can't say enough good things about Jerry and his shop. I was out in town for the weekend for a wedding when my front rotor on my F-150 began to fail, and was grinding away and making braking unsafe and stressful. I called Jerry on Saturday morning and he told me to come on in and drop the truck off. He had both front roots and pads replaced before lunchtime, and the price was much less than I expected to pay (I had priced out this job a week prior because I knew it needed it soon, just not as soon as it had actually happened). Highly recommended and extremely thankful to have found this shop when I did.

My ex perience with all of the people working at vape harbor is that they are both competent and honest. Whether it's replacing a casket or changing a spark plug, the automotive engineers at Cape harbor shell work with integrity and honesty. I would strongly recommend Cape harbor shellService: Auto maintenanceService: Auto maintenance

Awesome work and great price. Called and they said bring it in. Asked about foreign car repair for my other vehicle and they were more then helpful to recommend one of the top independent mechanics around.

Fuel is a little more expensive than elsewhere but they're the only station for several miles so it's understandable. Staff is friendly and helpful as is the owner. Free air.

These guys are solid. They really helped me out when I was in a bind. I was traveling out of town and my car was acting up. I spoke to Jerry about my car and everything was taken care of just a few hours later. Ask for Jerry.
