Did my transmission and brakes. They were very friendly, great, fast and efficient work. I got my car in less than 2 weeks. My car running smooth and timely worked with no issues after the repair. I’m highly satisfied with the service from Minaya’s auto repair.

I noticed my car was making a squeaking (like a spring) sound while driving and brought it to Minaya's on a Sunday(!) based on the overall positive Google reviews. The mechanic was able to identify a deteriorated ball joint and was able to repair it the same day. So far, no squeaking, so I am satisfied. Repair cost was reasonable too. I don't think the shop has a wheel balancing kit so if you wanted to take care of that, you will have to go elsewhere.

No one intentionally likes to speak bad about a small business but every action has a consequence, came in for an engine swap, 1. Made me pay for the engine without telling me where is from or issues that with the engine. States “ engine is good my friend “ don’t fall for it. 2. The engine comes in with oil leaks. 3. They just threw the engine in without doing a proper flush of fluids and checking or transferring parts from the old engine that were new like i told them to. 4. Poor , rushed install, bolts were snap off my exhaust now causing a massive exhaust leak, and bolts are missing from the manifold. ( they was discovered later on, instead of the fixing it, they left it like that) 5. Broke my dipstick and staid it was my fault until I showed them a picture of it not broken before I brought it in, and they still never replaced the item. 6. Complaining saying my car has a lot of issue when it was fine before they touched it, after the engine installed, my heat was not working properly, coolant thermostat broken. 7. Transmission shifting hard , to the point of it not driving properly, told me to come back and they tapped the part that was causing the issue instead of getting a new part. 8: car was taken for a joy ride, had to ask before they said anything and refill my tank with only 20 ,that I asked for , which should have been done without asking. That was me being lenient. Pros: they are convenient if you want a quick work. Cons: they tend To be unprofessional and money hungry for low grade work, in my experience. I’m conclusion I would not go to them for big jobs, something small if you want convenience, but also be cautious of them overcharging you and actually bringing your car back worse then when you brought it in.

Exceptional Service and Honest Work! I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received. From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and upfront about everything. They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained the repairs in simple terms, and didn’t try to upsell me on anything I didn’t need. The work was done on time and my car runs better than ever. It’s rare to find a shop this honest and reliable—highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy auto care!

Helped out ina pinch, needed my dad's rear brakes done he said he would open up and he did and my dad was definitely satisfied with the job. Coming back next month to do the front brakes =).. it's hard to find mechanic shops that open sunday and he did. Pricing was also very reasonable. Overall will be back with my dad's car and mine in the future

These guys hustle - especially on the weekends. In by 1130am on a Saturday and out by closing. Alexis and Julian replaced my AC compressor at a fair and affordable price. Look nowhere else for a mechanic in the Newark area.

I bought a car from one of the mechanics there .. with in 6 months the engine was loose , the car needed new breaks and rotors. Shortly after the transmission went. I had to tow it to this shop and never heard from the guy until I called. He gave me the run around told me it the computer needed reprogramming , sent me a short shady video of the car moving inches and then blamed me for putting for the transmission and told me to find a new one to replace the old transmission with. Do not under any circumstances take your vehicle to this shop and even less buy any car from this man

BEWARE! came in here for engine and clutch work which I had to come BACK for, because both things weren’t installed properly after PAYING for them to fix their mistakes they mess my front end up and REFUSE to pay! Telling me “better have my money” to pay for his mistake. Currently having a conversation with my lawyer.

DO NOT GO HERE. THEY LIE AND SCAM. SPECIALLY if you are WOMEN . They tried to SCAM US with a problem that did not exist. Me and my sister Had an emergency situation ima Sunday where there was some smoke coming out of the car near the engine, they were close by and open on a Sunday so we went in. They first tell us oil is leaking and we need a new gasket and oil change. And then 5 mins later this other guy come in to translate and tells us they want to replace some plastic part on top and leave the car over night and charge nearly 900- 1000$ we decided to drive the car home and got it to our usually trusted garage. Our mechanic just wiped out some residue and told us it’s fine, just had to wipe the part. No oil was leaking or anything!

I've been going to this location for many years now. As always the customer service is just amazing. They are very trustworthy. They are reasonable in pricing and very professional. They call you right away to let you know what's wrong with the car and once they do the car is ready within two hours. I can't ask for anything more, would highly recommend. Vick is the best in the business.
