260 AUTO REPAIR INC

Short, straight to the point version: Go to Joshua before you go to anyone else in Rockland county.

Long version:
I have gone to a lot of different mechanics in the area in the last few years, in addition to the dealership. Due to my horrible experiences at most of these shops, I started to do some of the simple repairs myself (brakes, fluid changes, etc), but always dreaded any major issues beyond my expertise. Having finally gone to 260 auto, I’m finally comfortable knowing that there is a local shop with world class knowledge. A lot of mechanics and shops lack critical thinking skills. I legit wasted thousands on repairs at other shops. However, It was clear that Joshua and his team were the exception in that they had the problem solving skill and passion needed to take care of your car. My typical approach is to go in to a shop, having done my diligence and say little and listen more to the other person to gauge them as a person, their knowledge base, and their structured though process (or lack of).

The more Joshua explained to me what was wrong with my car and his methodological approach to getting to the root cause, it was clear this guy knew what he was taking about. I’ve often been perplexed why most mechanics have very little diagnostic skills when fundamentally they’re diagnosing safety issues with your car, in many ways putting your life at risk no more than a doctor misdiagnosing a condition early for your personal health. Joshua and his team have the SURGICAL PRECISION that you didn’t even know you should look for in an automotive repair shop. While all other mechanics told me to keep throwing parts at my car, Joshua was straight up and told me it’s better to look at getting a new car rather than paying him money to do what others did. He thinks long term and strategically when it comes to taking care of your car as well as building a relationship based on trust.

I am a young female and often feel I get taken advantage of when going to mechanics because they assume I won’t realize either way.
After trying out this place I was blown away by the transparency and kindness Josh has demonstrated. He is not there to take your money. He genuinely cares about whatever the problem may be. I have never left a car place feeling more like the workers were generous with they’re effort and not for the money.
So glad to have found this and simply that people like Josh exist.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now but glad to finally be doing it now. I cannot express how happy I am bringing my Jeep to Josh and his crew. My brother has trusted him for years and finally got me to go to 260 and I couldnt be happier. I've never had so much trust in someone in regards to my car. Josh is honest, he explains things in a way that makes sense he's proactive and extremely fair in price! He truly wants you to make good decisions and provides you with all the information you need to make those decisions. I've never met a mechanic who's honestly told me I didn't need work done and that I still had time until I did. Who does that? JOSH! I highly recommend 260 Auto to anyone and everyone! You wont regret it! Thanks Josh :)

I have been visiting Josh for a few years ...for all my mechanically needs... and a positive energy boost... this is the cleanest... most organized... “progressive mechanic” you will ever visit... more like your personal automotive consultant! I have taken my classic car... generators... boring cars and Of course... Jeep to him!
