In late January, I brought my car in for an oil change. I was charged $75 for which I paid cash. Unfortunately, the person who worked on my car did not place the ring on the seal back correctly.A few days later, I drove the car and while on the highway, all the oil came out. By the time I was able to pull over, the car started to overheat and the engine light came on. I had to get the car towed to a dealer. The timing chain was stretched and had to be replaced. The cost of towing, cleaning the engine, and a proper oil change was over $3,000.When I first had the issue and before I got the engine repaired, I had called S&A auto repaid and spoke with one of the owners, Hilda. Hilda said she needed to talk to the owners and get back to me. I never heard back from Hilda. I called several times and left polite messages but never heard from S&A auto again.At this point, I have to contact BBB and begin the process of suing for damages.

WASTE OF TIME!! UNPROFESSIONALDo not bring your car here because Jose will waste your time!! I called in to see if Jose could check my engine and see what the issue was because my car was not able to drive. He told me over the phone Ok bring the car in and we can check it for you. I had to tow my car in and paid $128 to bring it to his shop. I gave him the keys and he said that he would take care of it.Later on, he called me and told me that he would have to remove parts of the engine in order to see the real cause of the issue. He went on to say that it would cost me $120 to CHECK what was wrong. This was way too expensive and not something that he mentioned to me over the phone. If he wouldve told me this prior to having my car towed in, I wouldnt have towed my car there, but since he failed to mention this, he wasted my time, energy and money. As a result, I had to tow my car to another mechanic to check my engine which cost me an additional $110 for towing fees. So basically, I towed my car to his shop for no reason just for him to tell me I have to pay $120 for him just CHECK what the problem is. This is an outrageous amount to CHECK an engine.I explained to him how he made me waste time, energy and money by misleading me to bring my car into his shop. I asked if I could possibly be reimbursed for wasted time and money and he LAUGHED AT ME!! This left me very frustrated because it seemed as if he did not care about my issue or care to try and help; even though this was the result of what he advised me to do. I am very unhappy with Jose and do not recommend his shop to anyone because he is not trustworthy as a mechanic.

My son has brought me to this mechanic after paying a lot of money in other mechanics. I bring my car here because I know I get an honest job. Good work

S & A Auto Repair is a mechanic located in Newark NJ where you really feel that you care about your car and your economy. If you can not be there when they repair your car they take a video of the state of your car and they will explain what needs to be repaired. They are very responsible and honest and for women they give workshops of mechanics to be able to know the most important thing when you take your car to repair and everything about the good maintenance of the car. I recommend it extensively.

Excellent people and excellent work

Guaranteed work, always committed to helping the community.

Muy buen servicio....Hilda y Jose hacen un gran equipo.
