I took my vehicle to the Cobblehill Super Service station on the corner of Atlantic and Henry for the NYS emissions inspection.
WARNING: This guy is in the business of ripping people off!!!
About 2 hours after I dropped the car off I received a call from a Tony, who proceeded to ramble on quickly about what was wrong with my vehicle, which added up to $441 worth of issues. First off, I purchased this car from a family friend in Florida and my father owns a shop in Florida and had new tires, brakes, oil change, new alternator (the whole nine yards) performed before I drove it back up to NYC. I then had our shop mechanic call Tony and explain to him what was done on the vehicle. Tony quickly backtracked on the issues with the car and the $441 estimate dropped down to $250. He then became extremely aggravated over the phone call and began to get aggressive with my boyfriend and I. He even went as far as calling my boyfriend names and screaming across the shop asking us to leave. We would have loved to leave, but we needed to pay the $37 fee to get our keys back! I tried to give him $40, but he kept telling me I needed to wait for a receipt. In the mean time he continued to scream violently at my boyfriend and I finally said, ""Just take my money! I don't need a receipt."" I just wanted to get out of there at this point. I felt very uneasy and even felt like my life might be in danger at this point.
Tony is not only scamming people left and right, he is extremely volatile and irate! I contacted the DMV shortly after I got home and a woman there looked up the shop in the system and was shocked to see how many complaints have been filed on this place. Please do not give this place your business.
Cons: WILL RIP YOU OFF!
