I have been a 10 plus years customer at Mike s - and all I can say is this:You can trust Mike and his crew a million times with your car! They even educate you about the repair and let you know what to watch out for! They used to be in Chelsea, now they are in Harlem, and I drive all the way uptown to just have Mike s repair super folks do their miracle!!!Service: Air conditioning

My experience working with Mike was that he goes above and beyond for his clients. After my catalytic converter was stolen the dealership told me it would be 3 months to get a new one. Mike ran down an aftermarket converter that fits my car perfectly, worked with a tow company to pick it up from the dealer service center in Brooklyn and with my insurance and had my car ready in under a week. Moreover, he found an antitheft device that would fit and installed it for me. Mike was patient with me as I called him repeatedly to ask different quesito s and try to get a cover for the converter. He kept his word and did everything as he said he would. Absolutely phenomenal service. I would highly recommend him and I ll return next time I have an issue. Thank you Mike!

As a woman who worries mechanics who will be condescending or just dishonest, I can say this place should give us all comfort. I haven t had any work done on my car, but as a new NY resident had to have it inspected. They were so honest, informative, and helpful. The man who worked on our car told me to set a reminder on my phone for 11pm a from now to get it done again bc the city looks for people to fine. He was so funny and really helped me to understand what is required in the future so I don t get fined in any way. He told me an hour, and it was done in an hour. Very honest, friendly, and just focus on doing good work.

Went in today for an inspection. Super friendly. Told me about 45 min. I walked down the the street for a burrito and came back 45 min later and they had everything ready to go. Trustworthy, very prompt and friendly service. Will be retuning for sure!!!!

The rear bumper was destroyed, the length of the left side was battered, El Brujo pintor saved me a fortune and his turn around time was lightning fast. The man is a saint for anything looking for a cheap paint job not perfection but he does insurance claims much better.

Very kind and straightforward mechanic. I came in after another mechanic told me I needed new shocks and Mike gave me a free diagnostic which told us that my car didn t actually need work done. I really appreciated it and will definitely return!

This place is excellent! Car was shaking on my commute into the city, figured I needed to get my tires balanced. Mike took me in right away and his staff rotated my tires free of charge! Overall, a great owner and great staff. Highly recommend.Service: TiresService: Tires

Don t ever go there. All my car needed was a bolt to be put in my steering fluid hose connector and he didn t take more than 20 seconds looking at it and said that I need a new pump and wanted to charge me close to 500 dollars . Got it fixed with a help of a friend and it needed just a bolt nothing more. I would not recommend him to my enemies

I've taken my car here a few times for repairs. Twice they suggested I take it back to the dealer to check on a recall or warranty. Both times they were correct. Thy didn't charge me for the diagnostic. Another time, I brought an older car here which required about $3k worth of repairs. I declined the service as I decided to sell the car instead. Again, no charge on diagnostic. Very happy with their service so far. I will definitely come back in the future.

I can confirm what the other reviews here suggest -- Mike's Auto Electric is a rare find in New York City -- a reliable, honest and friendly auto repair shop. I have been bringing my car to Mike's for several years, after being disappointed by the poor service and high prices at the official Toyota dealer. I just had my car's brakes replaced at Mike's. The work was done quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable cost. The car rides beautifully now. The fact that Mike and his mechanics are genuinely nice people is just icing on the cake. Here's hoping the developers don't take over Mike's lease on the rapidly gentrifying far west 30th street. But if that happens, I'll be going to Mike's other shop in Jersey City.

I have only found two Saab dealerships in California who are worth going to and Mike is the BEST! Not only did he take time out of his busy day to work on my car on short notice, he fixed the small things I have been dreading getting fixed thinking they would cost a fortune and did not even charge for them! Mike said with a smile, "I didn't take any longer to fix that your other repairs." I have never encountered someone who truly loves his job and his customers so much! I know that Saabs are expensive to work on and a pain to do so, but Ed when out of his way to fix everything and for a reasonable price. I will never take my car anywhere else and am sending him all my friends regardless of the make of their car.

Beware of fake reviews. Tried to charge me $300 for a $120 part, and $500 in labor for a $175 job. They lied about what needed to be done. I brought my vehicle to me regular mechanic and it cost less than 1/2. They kept my vehicle for a day and they did nothing. Lied about the timeframe. Didn t put my car back together right. Missing parts. Don t fall for their BS reviews on here. There was a lot of dissatisfied people there waiting for their cars to be finished, only for them to be told it s not ready yet. I wasn t the only one being lied to.

Mike's Auto is great. The service is wonderful and all of the mechanics are straight shooters. They are truly trying to get your car back on the road fast and in the most safe way possible. If you are looking for a local mechanic shop, then look no further.

Mike is the most reasonable, honest and hard-working mechanic I've come across in my 20+ years of driving and getting my car fixed. I've only been here twice, but this guy Mike is the real deal. He has made every effort to do only what was needed on the car, and he went the extra mile to save me money on a part. I will be coming back here every time I need something done on my car.

Made an appointment for vehicle inspection the day before. I get there are they are very timely and start my inspection when scheduled. It was a smooth process and passed but would definitely bring my car here for repairs. The people are very kind and courteous which makes it worth while for me.

Mike's the owner. Onsite most of the time.He runs an honest shop, no BS no taking advantage of customers like me that dont know anything about cars.The only honest mechanic I know of in the city.He stands behind his work and his word. Rarity!His employees/mechanics reflect his character. They are also experienced , not rookies!I had my starter swapped out, his quote was half his competitors, problem with my transmission and turned out to be just the filter needed to be changed. Initially took my car to midas(the transmission pros) they quoted me $1,500 for a rebuild. I couldn't believe it. got my inspection, oil change and few minor things done there as well.

Honest brokers! It's so wonderful to have found a team of guys that are honest and really trying to help you with your auto repair. It sound corny writing it but I have been going here for years, for silly stuff, flat tire, inspection, weird noise and they ALWAYS help. Really, you can't go wrong. Just call them first, don't just show up and expect magic, they are good and people know it, its also a small garage so one or two repairs at a time so, you might have to wait if you just drop by.

They will use your car for there pleasure and never work on it. They ll park your car on the street overnight so there employees have a place to park in the morning. I don t know about anyone else but my car is not a parking space holder for anyone. So make sure you check your car for scratches or anything like that and make sure you take a picture of your gas tank because it might be a lot less when you get it back from all the moving they do to your car for there personal parking. They only work on EMT cars at a fast pace.

I brought my company car there for repairs they went above and beyond to explain what was wrong. The owner even showed me in the car because there was a leak and I didn t know where it was coming from. Thank you so much! I ll definitely be bringing my personal car there!Service: Engine repairService: Engine repair

Mike's gave me a great price on a body repair and even took care of a scratch on my passenger door ... going the extra mile. I was thrilled then and so am returning for mechanical repair.

During an inspection, they told me I had a brake light that wasn't working and needed to be replaced. When I said I would get it fixed elsewhere, it was magically working again. Don't trust what they tell you.
