Paul was very helpful in having my brakes changed out quickly. He went above and beyond my expectations and is an honest/genuine man of his word. I will be going back with any car problems. Thank you

Paul was extremely kind and communicative about our planned oil change. I would trust him with your car without question. The way auto shops should be!

BSE Automotive is the only place I will take my cars to from now on. Paul Chiaramonte is extremely informative - he really knows what he's doing - and he is honest and offers top notch service that is fairly priced. I wish I had heard of BSE Automotive a long time ago! Highly recommended.

I found BSE automotive to be outstanding in its services. Paul, the mechanic there, was genuine and honest and not a money grubber. He offered a lot of advice to help keep my car OUT of the mechanic's shop! He works pretty fast too. I recommend this business highly.

Always a great experience at BSE Automotive. This is the only place my family trusts with their vehicles. They do the best work and it's always done in a timely fashion and at a great rate, which is hard to find. Plus they make you feel more like family than just some customer.

I was pleasantly surprised with the service I received at BSE .. Mechanics are like doctors. Finding one you can trust is often a challenge. I was treated with respect and everything was explained to me in a way so even I could understand what my problem was. I've brought my 1999 Suburban there and I've had my 2013 Terrain there .. Honest and fair .. I don't remember the last time I could use those two words to describe any experience at any auto repair shop .. Thank you BSE.

After bringing my car to other "famous" chain mechanics, to no avail. I brought my car to BSE. Not only did they do a great job on the new problemtatic stuff, but went the extra mile to fix prior damage, that we never would have known about, until it was too late . GREAT SERVICE !!!!! People were fantastic, polite and courteous, and the prices were MORE than fair.. I wouldn't bring my car anywhere else.. Thanks so much BSE!!!!

I had Tie Rods that were heavily corroded and making my car unsafe that Paul replaced for me today. Paul was honest, fast, and did excellent work! He even advised me on work that would be uneccesary and cost prohibitive to do at this time. His rates were reasonable and he was very polite. I would highly recommend him as a mechanic.Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

These are guys you can trust. Over the years I have had a hard time finding a Shop that will not try to rip me off. My dealership told me I needed to clean out my fuel line. They gave me a quote of $238. They said I needed them to disconnect the fuel line and run cleaner directly through the fuel injectors. I took my car to BSE and the Mechanic told me to just buy a can of the best fuel line cleaner and put it into my car next time I fill it up with gas. Well I did that and the car is working like new. The can of fuel line cleaner cost me $8. These guys saved me $230. They are the best!!!!!! Any other Shop would have cut the dealers price by 10-15% and did a procedure I didn't need.

BSE did a great job! My Sienna Van needed front and back brakes. The dealer wanted well over $500 to do this job. Paul was very honest and replaced 100% of the parts including new rotars. He saved us a great deal of money and did not recommend things we did not need. Fast and reliable service. Would definitley use again!

THE SERVICE IS AMAZING. I went in to get my brakes done, and the gentleman there provided such a great explanation on what was wrong with my car after he carefully listened to all my complaints. He walked me around my car and showed me what was wrong and other things that needed to be done. He changed the belt and made a few other repairs that will help with the problems I was having. I would recommend this place to everyone because my car is running so smooth and well. Great work!!! Thank you.

It's hard to find an honest car mechanic, and when you do it's like a huge load off your shoulders when your car starts to act up. I feel lucky finding BSE. Hope they stay around for a long time! Paul, the owner goes way out of his way to save me money yet make sure my car stays reliable!

I have had several of my cars serviced by BSE over the past 3 years and I received A1 service. Paul treated me like family. I strongly recommend my friends and family to take their cars and trucks to Paul. Thank you for servicing my vehicles and as always giving excellent service.

Paul is an honest mechanic who appears to take pride in his work. It was such a relief to have him working on my car bc it s stressful to find someone you can trust. I have an old car that I ended up driving and moving across the country with, and he went the extra mile to make sure my car was safe to drive, even calling to check up on me once or twice while I was en route. Needless to say I made it safely and am still driving my old car.

I've had a windshield replaced and quite a few brake jobs done at BSE over the years. I have recommended them to friends and family alike because I know that Paul and staff treat you and your car with good old fashioned courtesy and professionalism, and that's what keeps me coming back.

I was having an issue with my cars acceleration . I took the car to two mechanics who couldn't figure out that the fuel injectors were causing an issue with my acceleration. A friend of mine recommended BSE Auto so I figured i'd give them a shot."Paul", probably one of the nicest auto mechanics I've ever met, hooked the car up to some type of computer and diagnosed the issue in 10 minutes. I brought the car back the following day to have the work performed and haven't had an issue since. This was a month ago and still no issues. Thanks Paul! You've got a customer forever!

Take my advice if you don't want to get ripped off for repairs. Take your vehicle to BSE and relax. You won't get quoted for 4 hours of labor because it's listed in a book when the job only took an hour, and your vehicle will be repaired properly. They fixed my TPMS system for a great price unlike the other place that I took it to first.

I went to see Paul about a brake problem and thought and was prepared to do a full brake job. Paul informed me that the Brakes were ok and all i needed was a tire rotation. He saved me a lot of money and he gave my vehicle a Great once over. Its very hard to find a honest mechanic these days. Check out BSE

It's rare to find someone in the Automotive Repair industry that is honest and Paul is just that. On my repair to my 1973 Pontiac Grandville Convertible, Paul had indicated tasks that were "cheaper" if I performed them myself (e.g. Vacuum hose replacement), while performing a tune up using old-school technologies (cap & dwell, timing light, quadrajet adjustment, etc.). Paul is very accessible and I would highly recommend him.

I only trust BSE with my Saturn Vue of 200,000 miles. The latest timing belt and other long term maintenance will ensure a smooth ride to 300,000. Fast and clean BSE is also located across the street from the Linden train station.

It's rare to find an honest mechanic, that you can recommend to your friends and family without reservation. Paul at BSE runs just that kind of shop. Great service at fair prices.

I would recommend this company to everyone. They were professional in every aspect of the job. I must admit, I am clueless about cars. When I went in, i was fully prepared to be "railroaded" into expensive repairs. Nothing could be further from the truth! Everything was explained to me - I was given the opportunity to think things over before committing to work done - no pressure. And the results were outstanding.
