Larry is the best. I have been taking my car to him for over 20 years. His work is excellent. It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust but you can trust him.

Larry came strongly recommended to my wife and I by our coworker about 3 years ago. He's a straight shooter who wont pad your bill with nonsensical charges. If you're looking for a reliable mechanic he's definitely your guy. My wife and I appreciate his assistance greatly.

Larry and Will were so amazingly helpful, trustworthy and efficient. They told me exactly what was going on before doing any work, the price was set out before work started- no surprise charges- all around super nice and honest mechanics. I am so happy I found great mechanics for both my cars.

I've been going to Fine Tune Auto for many many years, even before their present location. Larry does a consistent excellant job EACH AND EVERY TIME. When I give my car to him, he has my complete trust. I know I'm getting the best price and service. Never any worries or concerns. My family members use his service and I fully and wholeheartedly recommend him.

Finding a good mechanic is a true job and once you acquire them you don't want to loose them. Larry and his team are exceptional. Larry the owner personally inspects each vehicle before any work is done by anyone. He also advises the customer clearly on the condition of the vehicle, what can be done, if it should be done, the cost involved and he prefers to use dealer parts. I strongly recommend them but come early.

This is truly a gem in the Bronx. Larry is so responsive and him and his team are thorough and diligent with their work. Larry will explain everything they do and informs you of costs as reflective of work required. He uses parts authentic to the car make and model for repair or replacement. Honest, mechanics who care about their customers is hard to come by these days. I would recommend him to anyone who owns a car. In fact, my family members go to him as well.

Amazing place. Larry did work on my old Civic and she ran great for the little bit of time I had her... Then he charged me $300 for an oil change and Cabin filter on an Acura RDX. Couldn't stomach those kind of prices so I had to move on.

What a fantastic place! I am new to the neighborhood and was in need of a new, trustworthy mechanic. I came across a Facebook post where Larry was highly recommended. Larry was so polite and helpful. His wife who works at the desk was so pleasant. I needed my car inspected as well as an oil change and told them whatever else needed to be done to go right ahead, yet they kept me informed along the way and was not pushy or greedy. They found a few minor things like my antifreeze needed a top off and a brake light replaced. Found my new mechanic 💗

Larry is the man. Took care of my car, gave a detailed explanation of what my options were and what was going on with my car. Fair prices and he fixed up something else that I needed help with free of charge. You'll be glad you came here.

Larry at Fine Tune Auto was always the best. He was always honest, friendly, and professional. I lived in the Bronx for 4 years during medical school & he took care of everything. I had to keep going back to him even after I left the Bronx because I could find an honest mechanic where I was living. I wish there was a Larry where I live now!!

Fine Auto is a great place to go to when your car needs work. Larry is honest talented and highly knowledgeable. He is a wonderful technician and diagnostician. He treats his customers Iike family. His workers are skilled and courteous. I have been a happy customer for years since I trust him. He tests and works on every part of the car and will explain everything before doing anything. Fine Tune is the place to go.

Dishonest, Hostile, and Unprofessional I came in simply asking for a quote on the warning lights that came up on my dashboard. I dealt with Larry for this entire ordeal. I made it very clear I did not want any work done without approval. Immediately, I was lied to and told I needed oil changes four times a year (completely false for my driving habits and my vehicle). The quote he then gave me for the diagnosis alone was absurdly inflated ($230 for a basic diagnosis I later found elsewhere for a fraction of the cost). When I politely declined and asked him only to refill and test my antifreeze, he told me their mechanic had “accidentally” gone ahead and performed some of the diagnostic/repair work anyway—and then tried to charge me $90 for it. When I questioned why they would perform unauthorized work, Larry became hostile, accused me of refusing to pay for services (I never refused to pay for the antifreeze and I respectfully declined the quote given, I didn't make the mistake of completing unauthorized work), and even threatened to hold my car hostage. He hung up on me, then called back angrily, sarcastically asking if he should “take the antifreeze out.” When I picked up my car, he acted cordial as if nothing happened. I paid for the antifreeze as agreed, but the dashboard lights were not fixed (contrary to what he claimed was worth $90 of labor - lies upon lies! Good thing I didn't pay huh?). To make matters worse, my receipt was falsified—it stated I “refused to pay for diagnostic” ($250, not even the quoted $230 - and they completed the diagnosis without authorization), banned me from the shop, and stated I "refused to pay for anything after diagnosis" despite the entire time my continued willingness to pay for the work I DID ask to have done, the antifreeze. Lies and slander. Thank you for banning me! I would never return. This was the most gaslighting, dishonest, and unprofessional experience I’ve ever had at an established business. I used to recommend this business, but after being lied to, threatened, and falsely accused, I strongly urge anyone reading this to stay far away. There are plenty of honest mechanics out there—this place is not one of them. I've posted the receipt on my fridge for the daily laugh because of how absolutely outrageous this experience was.

My car was leaking oil last week and I randomly found this shop near my school. They used 1 day to find the problem and 1 day to solve this after I paid. Super wonderful service with all details about how and why! Make me feel like my money 100% worth and they also solved the problem completely!!!! The acceleration even becomes more smooth!!!! Fair price! I will set this shop as my always! Love!!!!
