I went into the shop the other day with a problem with my car. I didn't have an appt. I left the car there and they called the same day with an estimate. My tires were super old and needed to be replaced. One of them had bulged out causing the noticeable issue in the ride. They finished the job the same day and I picked it up that evening. They had great communication the entire time. They were honest and clear about the price and the work. They did a great job. Mario even texted me a minute ago to make sure that there were no issues and I was happy with the work. These guys are going to be my mechanics from now on. Update: I need a brake job. They won't respond to my texts and no one picks up the phone. I also needed work on the door of my car and they never responded to me. Too bad. I have to go to another mechanic. Not sure what's going on over there.

I brought my car to Mario's for the annual NYS inspection and because I was hearing a noise that I wanted them to look at. They said the noise was from the power steering pump and that it needed to be replaced. I had them replace it and just a month later I started hearing the same noise again. I brought it back to Mario as the part/work was still under warranty. Without writing a whole angry essay here, I will just summarize and say that I had to make several trips to and from the shop, dropping my car off and picking it up with nothing resolved. I left my car with them for 5 days, had multiple conversations and was told it would be fixed each time, and it is still not resolved.

  • Adina Gordon

I have such a hard time finding trustworthy auto service places and this is the best I’ve found by far! My catalytic converter was stolen and Mario and his daughter knew exactly what was going on right away and were able to talk me through the process. They were amazing every step of the way, even in dealing with the insurance company, and so helpful in communicating throughout. Could not recommend more and I will definitely be returning anytime I need help with my car!

  • Suzanne

I recently became a car owner and needed a reliable mechanic. I am SO happy to find Mario’s! Professional and courteous from start to finish. Excellent communication and customer service. I was kept in the loop and told prices before the work was done. An added treat was a follow up message to make sure I was happy and the car was running smoothly. Wow!!! FTR I have a Smart Car and not all mechanics know these cars. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Mario!

  • Dag

They’re okay, but after they finished work, they parked my car on Atlantic in front of a construction site, didn’t look like they folded in the side mirror and a truck or something took the mirror off. After paying my bill I walked over to pick up my car and noticed it. Didn’t take responsibility or offer any compensation, told me they’d call me about a quote for the mirror replacement but never did so I won’t be going back ‍♂️

  • Everton Millin

Mario Auto Repair has always been there for me in every event related to car repair. Their pricing is fair, the service is impeccable and even the simplest of questions I can always rely on their expertise to guide me to the solutions that solve my most intricate problems. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a reliable and honest repair shop. Thank you guys for everything you’ve done for me through the years!!

  • Salim Choueiki

Mario is probably the most honest mechanic in Brooklyn. I've gone to him several times and will keep going back. His prices can't be beat, the service is incredible/very high quality, and he's even recommended cheaper DIY alternatives vs. charging me for labor when repairs are minor and easy to do without a lot of tools/expertise. Family owned/run, and all of them are super nice and responsive. Highly recommend

  • Moe Murdock (Moebocop)

I have been here several times after looking for a place to get my car serviced. The first time the work was quick and well done. Then I had two more breakdowns and the second time a piece of my car was damaged (tiny tine damage). Mario and his team fixed the damaged and the issues and charged me less* than what I thought I was going to have to pay. I am taking my ride to this place for as long as I live here.

  • Laura

I've been having my car serviced at Mario's for 1.5yrs now and only have positive things to say about them. They are extremely knowledgeable about what they do, communicative, timely, and honest. I have gotten my annual inspection, oil change, new tires, tires rotated, and a handful of other things with them. I love having a mechanic I can trust and highly recommend Mario's.

  • Jia Jun Lee

Went to get an inspection - they were quick, transparent, and good. They told me that I should change my rear break pads on my next oil change, without trying to get me to do it with them. Had gone to another shop earlier and after a one day wait, they told me I had all sorts of issues, which wasn't the case at Mario's. Glad I went to this workshop. Recommend!

  • Jake Fleischmann

Fantastic! Mario and Gabby (and I'm sure the rest of the staff) are just great. Thanks so much for getting me patched up and back on the road. Fast turn around and reasonable pricing paired with nice folks doing good work makes this the best experience at a muffler shop (or any auto mechanic shop) I've had. Thank you again. You guys are great!

  • dovid rapoport

I had a bearing that needed replacement I took it to mario's, and he got it fixed very fast and for a good price. I love the honesty and the fact that they don't try to sell you bs repairs that you don't need. I highly suggest this place and I will definitely be coming back for my auto needs in the future. Thank you mario and team.

  • Megan Staake

I had a rear side window that needed replacing. Mario and his team were super quick to get my vehicle into the shop and completed the repair quickly. The price was what I would expect for the the job. He even sent a follow up text to make sure everything was going well a few days later. Would definitely bring my car back again!

  • Betsy Crenshaw

I've been to Mario's twice. Once for a hood latch repair and once for inspection and oil change. In both cases they were efficient, fairly priced, and great communicators. Jobs were finished on time for the same price quoted. They did not upsell which is huge for me. Most garages do so with female customers.

  • J Tinneny

Extremely satisfied with my experience. Dropped off my car as soon as I realized there was a problem. Shortly after I left, Gary notified me that it was the rack and pinion. The price was great. Timing was fast. Communication was awesome. Grateful to Mario’s team. I’ll definitely recommend them to friends!

  • elfe cimicata

Mario and Gary and team are excellent mechanics and the best part is, you never feel like they are trying to talk you into anything that doesn't need to be done or gauge you. It has completely removed any type of stress from getting my car repaired because I know they are honest and fair. Thank you!

  • Annie Wilcosky

My parked car was hit when I was visiting from out of town, and I had it towed to Mario's for repair. Mario was extremely helpful, professional, and communicative throughout the repair process, and his team did a great job replacing the rear bumper and tail light. I'd recommend the shop to anyone.

  • Alexander Gurary - Falberg

These guys are as good as it gets. Professional, trustworthy, expert, quick, and affordable. We will be EXCLUSIVELY taking any car issues we have to them. Thank you to Mario and his whole team for quickly assessing our brake issues and fixing our brakes so that we can have a SAFE car!!!

  • Colleen Kleinmann

As a woman I always worry that auto shops are going to scam me or charge me higher. I highly recommend Mario's! Fixed the two issues with my Prius very quickly! Labor and parts very reasonable! Will definitely come back to Mario's if I ever have anything to repair. Thank you!!!

  • Amanda Kirkpatrick

My car didn't end up needing any repairs but Mario's looked it over and gave me their honest opinion that all was well and my clutch didn't need service. Very nice to work with and I would trust them in the future to be honest about any work that did or didn't need to be done.

  • Paul D

Old school shop, don't expect a lot of conversation here, but what matters is they get the job done. They fixed my AC, I provided the replacement (used) compressor, installed it within a few hours, everything works perfectly. Absolutely recommended spot. Mario is a good guy!

  • Ross Y

I took my car here for inspection. They gave me an accurate estimation of the time it would take. They were fast, professional, and they didn't try to tell me that fog light had to be fixed (last 2 places i tried did this). I am lucky to live near these terrific mechanics.

  • K vH

The best auto repair shop! Great honest people who are there to help and are not just after your money! Especially as a woman I feel I'm not being taken advantage of. Somehow many car repair places think all women are stupid and think their BS is not detected...

  • Jean Ferlesch

Several years ago, a trusted friend recommended Mario to me and I have frequented his shop ever since. Trust is essential for those of us who know nothing beyond turning the ignition key and this is an honest shop. Fast, reliable, and fairly priced too.

  • Julia Burke

Mario’s is the best! A rare mechanic who has reasonable prices, a friendly staff, and does honest work! He fixed my AC compressor and brakes and also took care of regular maintenance super quickly. The price was half what the dealer wanted to charge.

  • Emma Rishel

The staff is very helpful and everyone was pleasant and kind. They offered a great price for what our car needed (all 4 tires replaced) and it was done about 4 hours earlier than expected. We will continue to go to Mario’s for all of our car needs!

  • Patrick Fobbs

I took my car here to get my fan water pump and a cooling pipe under my intake replaced for 1700 last year. I had to get my fan fixed again because it would be on full blast when I turned my car on and it kept leaking coolant. I recently

  • Vitaliy S

Price predatory place. The job was done, my car works, but overcharged on parts and labor. I was stranded with broken serpentine belt, and a seized alternator. Googled nearby mechanic shops to get reliable and quality service, this place

  • Jennifer Giacoppo

We really appreciated how friendly, helpful, and honest Mario and his team are. We brought in our Subaru for an oil change, and not only did they do a great job with the service (plus fair prices!) but Mario also found a few things that

  • Ian McNair

I was on a road trip and was planning on spending a few hours visiting a friend in Brooklyn. As I got off the highway I realized something was wrong with my brakes. I had a long trip ahead of me, and getting my car fixed was not what I

  • Lisa love

Mario is the best He repaired my transmission well done honest as well. Other issues with my car but I’ve never had an issue with my transmission again. 2013 Chevy suburban I live all the way up state New York and I still come to him.❤️

  • Timothy Crook

So happy to have found Mario's. Its good to have a trustworthy, skilled and fast team of mechanics in my neighborhood. The kind of place that will get my business again when I need anything done on my vehicle! Highly recommended!

  • Lauren Roche

If I could leave 10 stars I would, communication was great, service was super professional and quick, they saw me last minute and had me back on the road same day, on a Saturday! Best mechanics experience of my life. Thanks guys

  • Andrew Ramrattan

I took my car to Mario to get an inspection done when he scrape off the old inspection sticker he didn’t clean the glass at all to put the new inspection sticker on very unprofessional job. would never take my car back there.

  • Maureen O'Brien

Finally found a jackpot repair shop in Brooklyn! These guys are so trustworthy, they are very knowledgable and both times I've brought my car in it has been ready for me before the end of the day. I'll never go anywhere else!

  • Blake Sugarman

Mario was very friendly and made me feel like my car was in good hands. The price also seemed to be reasonable. I would definitely recommend Mario's Auto repair over other mechanics I have gone to in the area.

  • Mary Schopper

Mario’s has been my go to car repair shop for over five years. I find them to be honest, reliable, and fairly priced. They’ve helped me out quite a number of times and I’m so glad they’re in my neighborhood!

  • Charles Roasa

Awesome experience! Very responsive when I called, talked to Abby who helped me out scheduling. And Mario who checked my car and updated me the broken parts of my car! Very reliable and reasonable price!

  • Seana Anderson

Mario and Gary are kind, thoughtful and professional. They always accommodate my schedule. They give me a fair estimate before they fix my 2003 Volvo convertible. They are the best mechanics in Brooklyn!

  • Tolu Adegoke

Mario helped me last minute when I need my tires rotated and balanced for my 2005 Honda CRV. he has the best deal in the area! Real quick and personable and a great crew. Will definitely be going back

  • Sam Graff

My van wasn't starting. Mario diagnosed the issue on the spot and replaced my starter the SAME DAY for a fair price! He even texted me a few days later to make sure everything was working smoothly.

  • Eliesha Grant

Got a flat at 9:30pm had the car towed there. The shop texted me back that night and I picked up my car in the morning and the price was right plus great service and communication.

  • Cherie Toney

I've been going to Mario's since 1995. He's always done great repairs at great prices. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car cause it could mean trusting someone with your life

  • Bradford “brad4finity”

Mario’s is a gem. Grateful to have a neighborhood mechanic that I can trust. It’s so hard to find one that you can count on- that I was tempted to not leave a review even.

  • M L

They really took the time to work with me on a burden of a fix. They also did their best to work with my insurance and make sure I got the payout for the fix.

  • David Foster

friendly, good for tune ups, minus is no parking on-site (had to park car across after in a non-affiliated "no parking, tow away" lot that made me anxious)

  • Angela Alvarez

Went to get my new car inspected straight from the DMV! Mario was joy, and I’m glad to have him so close! Def gonna go back if I ever need anything done.

  • Scarlett Howard

Best mechanic on the East Coast! Takes care of his customers and does quality, fast work. We love Mario’s!

  • Sydney Kornegay

Went in for an a/c problem, and Mario was able to fix same day. Reasonable and upfront prices!

  • Karthik Mecha

Had an emergency and the guy was rude in not even answering doubts.
