Moved to the area recently, and was looking for a reliable garage to leave my Grand Cherokee with for any of my future car needs. I wanted to install some new rims and rubber in the meantime, so I gave the guys at TJ s my business. Couldn t be happier! They took my car in, offered me very affordable pricing, and left me with a flawless installation. Blown away with how communicative and knowledgeable the guys were while addressing all my questions/concerns. I look forward to working with them for my other vehicles.

Just tried out TJ's after living in River Edge for 3 years. Been here twice for synthetic oil change and then for a separate tire issue. Fantastic friendly service each time by the manager Jose. Accommodating, fair pricing, and great customer service. Had driven by literally hundreds of times and didn't think to try--but so happy that I did and I now have a new go-to for auto repair needs!

The low tire indicator came on this morning. When I parked I found a nail in the tire. I am new to the area and found TJ s from Google Maps with 4.3 stars. I pulled in. The attendant came out immediately and fixed the tire in a few minutes. Price was very reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone with a tire emergency.

I had a dead battery today, there was no saving this thing. I called TJ s on a whim because I had heard from people in town they they were a great place to do business with. I had a gentleman at my car within 10 minutes who replaced my battery and saved the day!! I am so thankful to have such wonderful people that run a trustworthy and reliable business in our town. Thank you TJ s!

I was having breakfast a couple doors down at the diner when I saw this place on the way home. I need a real change and decided to check it out. I told the man that I wanted the regular oil change for $22.99. Instead, I got the synthetic oil change for $39.99. Communication is very key when working with customers. I didn t feel like arguing to get a price reduction, so I let it go. I also had the mechanic change the headlight battery in my car for $20 which was worth it. I m not sure if I ll be back but they do have a clean operation and seem to know what they re doing

Jos� and his crew are amazing. Family owned business!. Good people! My mother and I have both taken our vehicles to TJ's. Not only are they priced the best but the entire family Including the shop manager, are some of the nicest people I've met. They do amazing work THEY DO NOT! OVERCHARGE, they are HONEST AND FAST.One of the swaybar mounts on my 4 x 4, truck was a bit rusty and eventually gave out. TJ fixed it for extremely cheap, and did a very good job at fabricating a bracket from scratch.Also, I took my mother's car there. It needed a timing belt at 200,000 miles they did it for the cheapest around and they had it back to me within 30 hours.I can't express this enough. The family is very honest very sweet and they genuinely care and they do good work.I would recommend this location to anybody that needs their car fixed

The gas station attendant cheated me on the amount of gas I paid for. I requested to get $40 gas and he pumped only $20 gas.When I asked him how much he pumped he said $40 but the pump clearly showed only $20 worth of gas.

The owner is a dishonest business I ask him how much a job would cost he told between $80 and $120 and when job was finished he said it's $250 all because he saw me in my uniform before job was finished. I will never use his service againService: TiresService: Tires

Pretty reasonable prices and reasonable people. I came in with a broken control arm. They gave me a good price and they were very down to earth. When the part came it turned out their supplier quoted them the wrong price and it was about $100 more. I talked to the manager and he eventually gave me a reasonable quote closer to my original. I appreciated that they ate some of the costs to remain within the range of his original quote. I appreciate that even though the mistake should have resulted in the original price that I was quoted but it wasn t much more. One thing is that they charge extra for using a credit card, about 3.5%.

Have been having a hard time finding a reputable and trustful mechanic in the area. These guys are the best, showed them the quote I received from another mechanic and they took a look and let me know what actually needed to be done vs what didn't. Needless to say I'll be coming here from now on.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Wheel alignment, Oil changeServices: General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Wheel alignment, Oil change

These people are awful. Came to them a while back for a wheel alignment because their prices were cheap compared to competition and I pretty much got my moneys worth in service. Went to a real mechanic later that actually knew what they were doing and they showed me the wheels werent aligned and I had to pay again to get the job done right and get new tires. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more somewhere else to get the job done properly the first time.Service: Wheel alignment

Jos� has been my go-to mechanic for more than five years. It's a cathartic feeling having an honest mechanic you can trust. He's diligent, affordable, and I will reinforce that he's honest.

I needed welding done on the exhaust of two cars. Jose was very polite and had a can do attitude where other shops had turned me away. The price he quoted was the price he charged and the work looks good. I will definitely be using and recommending Jose in the future!Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

Everyone was very nice and professional, they were going to close a bit earlier than what was stated on Google, the owner stayed open a few minutes later to resolve my issue(I needed a tire replacement).

I couldn t be happier with the service and work they did installing my new cat back exhaust. They took me in on the spot and got right to work. The install was done quickly while I waited and they weren t even phased by me hanging around and watching lol. I d bring my car back there anytime, I recommend TJs 100%.Service: ExhaustService: Exhaust

WARNING: my rating for this shop is 0 stars! this shop managed to change the oil on my sisters car twice without changing the oil filter. That's enough to let you know what kind of mechanics they have and what kind of business they operate if you aren't familiar with cars. I came to get my sisters cars oil serviced a third time (because my mechanic was out of town) and they tried to do it again.After her car was jacked, with the oil drained, they tried to service it again without the filter being replaced and when I called them out for it they told me that they don't have that filter. They said all they can do is try to "clean it" I told them to call their parts distributor to bring the $5 filter over. After 2 hours for an oil change, that they advertise as "10min oil and filter change", my car was finished and serviced.I was late to work because of them and very kindly told the people working the desk that I cannot pay full price after this service and instead of negotiating a price I was threatened and told I will not get my keys to my vehicle until the money was paid. Great service, great mechanics and truly humble workers!

Needed a part of my exhaust system replaced due to rust. This is the only place in the area with the proper tools to do real exhaust work! They fixed it up quickly, but when I was driving home I noticed a rattling sound and looked at the exhaust system I noticed that things weren't quite lined up correctly (It's custom work and they were bending the pipe to fit so it takes some trial and error!) I brought it back and they fixed it up quickly no questions asked! Very pleased with the service and quality of the work.Service: Exhaust

I've been going to TJ's for a few years and have always been more then satisfied with their work. He is knowledgeable, fair and quick turn around. He takes the time to explain the issue and what it will take to fix it. Even if something doesn't feel right, Jose will always double check his work and make sure you are happy. It's extremely difficult to find trusting mechanics that will not guide you the wrong way or charge you for unnecessary work. I will always recommend Jose and his staff.

These guys are honest mechanics, I took them my 2004 Acura MDX and they had it fixed up in a week even though my car was filled with problems. They gave it back to me with a cleared check engine light, 2 broken valves replaced and all valves readjusted. I was concerned about the amount of time he kept the car and I just showed up, he filled me in on what was going on and even let me take a look at his guy was doing. These guys are great. They tested the valves after being resurfaced from a machine shop(something my last mechanic failed to do).

I strongly suggest you dont bring your car here. I brought my civic for timing belt replacement and the prices were fairly cheap. I bought my own aftermarket belts and asked them to replace it. They did not. I had to take it to another shop where they were able to show me the original Honda belts. These guys are very dishonest. Also, I needed a slight paint job on my front bumper. They told me they can do it. I believed them. They called me a day later bc they left the paint on too long and messed up my hood when the job was on the front bumper. They fixed it but the colors did not match. They do not know what they are doing. After they finished the job I took it to work and on the way I noticed that the car temp had gone to the top. They forgot to add coolant. I called the guy he said if you have a water bottle just put water in replacement of the coolant. I couldn t believe it. I m glad I found another shop. I ll never go back and I strongly recommend if you care about your car to take else where. You might save a couple bucks here but not worth it.

Awesome work, very fast sevice. A bit pricey on the brakelights. I always get it done for $10 everywhere else but at the end they asked me for $20

I have never met a more honest car mechanic in my life. Normally when mechanics see a luxury car pull up they lookup over charge the customer, I had the opposite experience. A few times it was a minor fix and they didn t charge a penny! Very honest, and that s what you need in a car mechanic.
