Hoyos Auto Repair

What goes around comes around! I recently took my car to Hoyos Auto Repair and inquired about fixing an issue with my heat/AC panel. I spoke with the owner in person, he assessed the situation and said he would need to take a deeper look and then would call me back with a quote. A few hours later I received a call from the owner with a quote for the job. I agreed to the initial quote given and was told it would take 24-48 hours to complete the job. The next day I received a call from the owner, telling me that the part he ordered was not all that was needed and that it was going to cost more $$ to fix the issue. I didn’t get a good feeling about the situation and told him I did not accept the new quote and would not like to move forward with the job. He then responded by saying that I would still need to pay him for the labor because he “opened up the car”, I said, “no”, because the car was not fixed and the quote was based upon the vehicle being fix. I picked up my vehicle a few hours later. A week later I took my vehicle to another local mechanic, when he opened up the car to fix the same issue he informed me that parts were missing and a line had been intentionally cut! Clearly it doesn’t take an expert to conclude that the owner of Hoyos Auto Repair took some retaliation action, when I did not agree to pay for labor when the job was not completed in full. Bottom line, these people are untrustworthy and unethical. Don’t take your vehicle here!

Love this mechanic! Buyer beware: he can get very busy at times, and it takes longer during those busy times. This guy is cheap, honest, and willing to do dirty repairs with spare parts to save you money; adjust your expectations accordingly. If you can wait a few days, and just want your car to run again for the least amount of money, then try this guy. If you want the standard mechanic who needs to order your exact part from the dealer, or if you need your car back ASAP, try another spot.

They charged me $657 just for the rear break pad. $657 just for the rear brakes???? Never ever go to this place. When i went to a different place they gave me a quotation of $240

There's an old saying " finding a good mechanic is harder than finding a good Doctor" Well look no further, this shop is the best shop in Hudson county . They are honest , courteous, professional and they never over price you . The price they set is the price it is, no padding the bill no double talk straight forward communication.

I found this mechanic via google maps trying to find a good local mechanic to work on my car. All of the reviews for the most part were postive so I said I will give them a shot. I'm glad I listened to the reviews because this place was great. Good communication, good prices and good work. Let's not forget very convenient! Literally a 5 minute walk from my place. If you are in the Journal Square/Jersey City area and in need of a mechanic, I recommend this place.

Pretty much agree with all the other reasonable customers here. Edgar and Johan have had the misfortune of keeping at least 4 of my inexpensive old cars running for ~ 9 years. From entire engine replacement (they found a motor with less mileage and did the clutch as it was out) down to general maintenance and small but annoying motors and switches. They are honest, will show you parts that needed replaced and charge fairly which is worth any price.

They are horrible! They ruined my car & cut out extra wires & pieces when I only asked for a tune up. I have to pay hundreds to fix their mess. They didn’t even correctly replace the spark plugs. I wish I would’ve known sooner I would’ve just done it myself. I was searching for a new mechanic & in the midst I ran into these crooks. Stole $20 out of my glove compartment for what?? You’re literally getting paid $300 for sloppy work & you’re being greedy taking my chump change?? Please stay away guys… Do not make the same mistake as me.

Helped get my Acura RL back on the road after having a busted radiator and leak into my transmission. Didn’t know who to go to but glad I came here. They took my car in immediately and had me back on the road the next day! Can’t say enough about this shop, how knowledgeable they are and the attention to detail fixing my car. Really down to earth and great service. Thank you!

Got my car in and out in under 24 hours with a new starter. Easiest car repair I've ever dealt with. Several friends and coworkers recommended , and I'll definitely go back if my car needs anything.

My sons are going off to college. Their car needed a once-over. Checking all belts change of all fluids and and making sure that the long trip and the car's use in the Chicago area will be safe. The prices are very reasonable and the staff cordial. Very quick turnaround. Highly recommend.

Shout-out to Edgar. We had an overheating engine and he accommodated us and was able to get us back on our road-trip within a couple of hours! He explained his diagnostic findings, told us what he fixed, and what we should consider next towards full resolution or sale of car.

Johan was very helpful when I came in for a state inspection as a new driver. He checked over everything, leveled out my tires, and suggested some fixes. Really appreciated the service and kindness as a new driver!
