A new place for us this past year, & have been there several times for issues with 2 of my cars. Relatively young mechanics. but very knowledgeable. Many of them have worked on my cars ( Pete, Tyler. Justin, Josh ) & have done a great job. The service coordinators at the desk ( Dave & Lauren) were very organized, friendly, and helpful for any questions or concerns. Services were completed when promised. I would definitely recommend them all. The cost for services that included breaks, a battery, a throttle body, was about average, considering everything is more expensive these days. Overall great experience.

2nd time coming here. First time they drained my break fluid after I stated I d get the job done else where for a lower cost. I didn t believe it when the 2nd mechanic mentioned this was done. This time they drained my oil after I said I d need to take my car since it s been there to long. They ll aim for upsell or over price via phone call, you disagree- they ll take something out and put it back together for you . My car has 0 oil. Should be a criminal charge. My car was there for 8 days, they took stuff apart, drained my oil, and ultimately fixed nothing. Before I took my car back I went and got new tires - they assisted putting the tires on my car 8 days later

Until someone recommended Magic Lube in Lake Hopatcong, I was taking my car to the dealer for service. My first service here was for an oil change and they were kind enough to replace the serpentine belt which I had purchased somewhere else. I returned today for an oil change and tire rotation. I m very pleased with not only the work done but also how knowledgeable, honest and courteous everyone in the entire shop is. I also like the fact that they do more than just oil changes. It s a relief to find good mechanics who are trustworthy and local. When you pick up your car you will be advised if there is anything requiring attention. It will be a printed out report and also pictures. You can see for yourself rather than just taking their word for it. They ll discuss with you about repairs that may need immediate attention and advise of repairs that you can wait a little while to do. I will be taking both of my cars here from now on and I recommend Magic Lube to anyone who needs a simple oil change or a more entailed repair.

Real pros here. Friendly and knowledgeable service. They give a thorough written report with estimates of all work that needs to be done on your vehicle whenever it's brought in. Really good information that I can use to keep an eye on conditions that are developing. Highly recommend

Heard a strange sound coming from right rear area of our car. Without an appt, stopped in at 7:45am manager David said they could check it out right away. In no time they had it up on a lift, tech Josh showed me what was wrong (exhaust system mount needed to be reattached), he fixed it and they had me back on the road in minutes. Suffice to say, they earned my business and loyalty this car will now be serviced here. This is exactly what a neighborhood auto repair shop should be. Thanks guys!

These guys are so detailed and I love that they send you a diagnostic report complete with pictures and details of what needs to be done. David is always so accommodating when I forget to schedule my oil changes.

I never write reviews, but felt compelled to after visiting this shop. They replaced my oil, brakes, and a blown car door actuator, and they did an incredible job. a week or two later, they called to follow-up something I've never received from a mechanic. These guys genuinely care about the customers and they're good at what they do. Could not be happier with the service, and this is definitely my new go-to mechanic.Service: Oil change

Great shop! Very professional (ish, read update), thorough and honest. I ll absolutely (might, read update) be backUPDATE: I didn't give my address when I went in (need to know basis, you don't need to know) and got a call back next day pressuring me to give my address. When I again politely declined, service desk started speaking to me like a 6 year old trying to explain to me (the one who said I don't want extra mail) how mail works. Hun, if I wanted junk mail, flyers, rebates, coupons, etc, I would have given you my my info day 1. I understand why you want my info, but the first declined request should have been the last.Oil change was fine. Let's keep it at that. Don't call me.Service: Oil change

I didn't get may car fixed here but I was biking by and had no water. I stopped in to hopefully buy some but they said I could have as much as I wanted for free. Super nice people. From looking around there garage, they had a nice looking, professional shop.

I stopped in one day to see if they would let me look underneath my lowered truck on a lift. There lifts are flush with the ground (only place I have ever seen this) so it made it super easy to get the vehicle in the air. The guys could not have been any nicer and helped me do a vehicle inspection. I would highly recommend this place especially if you have a lowered vehicle. The tech I worked with seemed very knowledgeable.

I was having problems with my rear parking brake in my 2009 Toyota Highlander. It was making a weird rubbing noise and would not disengage the parking brake fully. Excellent repair was done by Tyler and I got the car back in record timing! Would highly recommend! - Nick M

I was going to take my truck to the dealer for a frozen steering wheel but stopped by this new shop near my house to see if they could help. David the lead service consultant was very friendly and wanted to help if at all possible. The mechanic on duty (Tyler) actually made a house call and was able to unlock the wheel because even though I had tried, I did not have the right touch. He did not even charge me! This saved me from having to call a flatbed and then face whatever exorbitant fee the dealer would charge me ($150 min diagnostic fee). I highly recommend Magic Lube & Rubber and they have made a new customer for life.

The bad: Went for a wheel alignment, and after about 1000 miles my car would shake during any left turning of the wheel. It was mild at first and got progressively worse. After going through everything I can think of (not the wheels, not the brake caliper, not the rotor, not the axle nut) I noticed play in the tire, bad bearing I thought.The play wasn't a bad bearing, the knuckle was loose on the strut tower! Those bolts are supposed to be torqued to a higher spec, and I was able to hand tighten with a hand wrench.The good: The text/online report.The typical: heavy recommendations that are generic and not vehicle specific. "Don't use the coupon yet, wait to use it when you spend more to get more off"

Brought my dad's car in for an oil change. Everyone was really friendly & I was able to wait there. With the oil change they even provided information on future maintenance I would need with pictures and they even emailed it to me! The service was fantastic and I'll be bringing my own car in soonService: Oil changeService: Oil change
