I am very pleased with the work done on my car. When I first went to the shop, Richard explained in full, what was happening to my car. I know very little about the mechanics of my car, and to be honest as a woman I am concerned about being ripped off at a mechanic. I was able to get my starter fixed very quickly, and I’m so satisfied with the work. I will definitely refer Uptown Motors to my friends. Thanks !

I found this place a couple of years ago while looking for a discounted oil change on groupon. Needless to say, I've stayed with them since. Andy, Richard, and Karen are very amicable and pleasant to talk to, they've been nothing but helpful regarding my old car and all it's repairs. I've gone to them for issues ranging from a simple oil change to replacing my water pump and faulty sensors, they've offered a great service at a fair price. They've even provided me with a tow once due to a dead battery and starter motor. Yep, I've got an old car, but with repairs and advice from Andy and Richard I've kept my old girl in fighting shape.

I wanted full synthetic oil for my new car's first oil change, and I found Uptown Motors through a google search and Groupon. Karen and Andy are a husband and wife team. Karen is the gracious "front of house" customer service person, and Andy is the expert in the garage. The distributor messed the order up slightly, but Karen and Andy did their best to accommodate me. Richard, who did the oil change, was friendly and very knowledgeable. The shop is easy to get to in the Bronx, but it turns out they also offer pick-up and return for free, so I'll be using that next time. The prices are reasonable. The service and convenience set them apart. I'm glad I found them.

Andy and Karen were absolutely wonderful! Being new to town I searched thoroughly for a new auto place and they are EXACTLY what I was looking for. I spoke with Karen on the phone for about 20 minutes just making an appointment for an oil change. Andy also serviced my car and gave me helpful cost saving advice. They are the kind of people you can trust.

Karen, Andrew and Tito were simply amazing. I had called ahead and found Karen to be so kind and accommodating. The work was quick, and the price was amazing. I highly recommend this Auto Garage to anyone in the area and beyond. They offer so many services to their customers it is just the perfect place, with the perfect people behind it!

Karen, Tito, and Andrew took great care of my car for an oil and filter change. They were quick, courteous, and professional. I found them through Google Reviews and would highly recommend.

I was a loyal client of Uptown motors on the UES for over 15 years. They took care of my 1999 Volvo which lasted over 16 years with their help and was sorry to see that they had closed the location. I recently re-connected with them at their new location in the Bronx, and their service continues to be great. They pick up the car at my garage, do what needs to get done quickly, perfectly and with the best prices, and return it back ready to go. I don't know what I'd do without them! Definitely recommend.

The Owners are really nice and caring. Andy & Karen has made me feel welcomed and about of the family as I waited for my vehicle to get its oil change. I have been searching for a mechanic for a long time & I think I have found one. THANK YOU GROUPON ‼️‼️‼️

If I could give 0 stars I would. Don’t bring your car here if you care about your car. If you do I at least hope you stay there to check the work being done. They will charge you the price of oem dealer parts and will go buy cheap parts to put in your car. They act all nice and sweet as if they care about their customers but it’s just a front. Do not trust them. I wish I could warn everybody walking into that shop. They’re are liars and not professional at all. That place does not deserve to stay in business. I wish I never took my car to this place.

As soon as I walked in the door I knew I was in the right place. I called ahead and spoke to Karen. She was very kind. I only called to see if it was a good time to come in for an inspection. Instantly I noticed the clean and professional shop. Andy, one of the bosses there, is also a very kind person and knowledgeable about cara. These are honest hardworking people and I will absolutely return for service.

I went today for a car inspection. They were super kind and honest. Just met Karen, however, she was so friendly that it felt as if I knew her for many years. I'll definitely bring my car back in the future for maintenance.

Had some minor work done on my car today, and it was done well, quickly and at a reasonable price. This is not the first time I have brought my car into Uptown Motors and the staff has always been very agreeable to work with. Good job!

I been going to them for 10 years now for my 1980 Mercedes. Over all the work has been pretty good. They sometimes don't get it right the first time, but they do follow up and will not charge me again for additional work on a job that is already paid for. There head mechanic is very good. This place is not cheap, but then on the upper East Side nothing is cheap!

Karen is soooooo sweet and Andy is so kind and Tito is fast, greatest customer service experience I've enjoyed in months, they were so welcoming, hospitality and definitely fast. I work next door at Amazon and I tell you, they are convenient, fast, and you feel welcomed like y'all have known each other for years, I'll definitely come back for any services I need for my car.

A simple oil change cost $100. I asked them to change the air filter as well, and they dropped the ball on that. This was my first time going. Not sure if this was an anomalous experience or par for the course. Please note that many of the positive reviews are computer generated (they're identical to reviews found on other auto repair garage postings).

I went to this place for the NYC inspection on my Benz. From beginning to end customer service is excellent. Flexible with your schedule and needs. Very easy going staff. Will be going back for sure.
