Ive been going here for five years now. From your new york state inspection to oil change to major mechanical issues I feel likethese guys have my back. I almost *didnt* want to write this review because i need them to stay a secret so I dont have to share them!! First they are professional and courteous with a positive attitude! Second, they are thorough - i received a detailed diagnostic report with pictures detailing what needed urgent repair and what needed maintenance. For all the people that felt that they got scammed, Although I agree that the prices are steep - if its what gets me quality service then I am in!

Nick and the team at MINHS are real professionals. I was lucky enough to find a great shop in NYC that has the knowledge of BMWs and can be trusted to get the job done at a reasonable price. This time around they did their best to accommodate my request to do some significant repairs without my having to return for another visit. I was treated fairly and the service is always top-notch. An additional bonus is, I always get my car back after they've done a thorough wash. Sadly, that is not always the case with other shops. They run a very clean shop with a professional staff. I highly recommend them.

MINHS is the best! The guys are completely honest and thorough. They even pasted my registration sticker on last year.

Had very prompt and professional service here. They gave me a comprehensive summary on the work my car needed, a specific timetable and didn't hide any costs. If I called to check in and the original tech wasn't available anyone else I spoke to was perfectly knowledgeable and had access to my repair record. They even rushed my work to make sure it happened in the same day. I'd recommend booking a few days in advance as they are slammed usually. They are a smaller shop as well so not a ton of room, expect to drop your car off in front. I had work done on a Japanese vehicle and they had an in house mechanic who specialized in my make and had a lot of insight into what to look out for. Overall I'd recommend them to anyone.

I have been using MINHS for the last 5 years. I originally came here after several disasters at BMW of Manhattan. The contrast is night and day. I just picked my 2004 325ci Beemer and as usual they have my car purring like a kitten; great service, reasonable pricing and after just an oil change got a wash and vacuuming. MINHS couldn't be nicer, more attentive and focused on what is immediately needed and what may be needed in the future. Vinny, Nick and Tam are the best. I can't give enough superlatives.

I had a very poor experience with this rip-off artist. He replaced my alternator with a rebuilt job that lasted all of 80 miles. He did say "I'm sorry you had that experience". but no furthwer repairs, and no money back. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Richard, Our records show we’ve changed your alternator in 2010 and there was no return visit for warranty work. I’m sorry our management at the time did not resolve issues to your satisfaction. Although you’re no longer a customer, I still would like bury the hatchet and bring some peace to your day so please give us a call. Thank you.

I write this review, not with malice... but to warn car owners out there. This shop is not reputable and not trustworthy. It looks like the ideal import mechanic specialist, but they will bleed you dry. I was having problems with one of my bearings and drove the care into the garage to get it looked at. My mistake... never drive your car into the garage, because before I knew it, the tech/owner told me that my ignition cylinder (the lock) was broken and the key wouldn't go in. Now my car is in their show with all of the windows open and no way to drive it out. They start pressuring me that I have to clear out the bay and that the repair will cost $500+ dollars for the new hardware and to re-code my key. I never had any problems with my key... they clearly jammed something into the lock and sabotaged my car. I ended up pushing my car out of the garage and calling a tow truck to take me to my normal mechanic. So much for trying a new outfit. Again, beware and read the reviews well. MINHS mechanics are crooks.

Jonathan, Please Google Ford ignition cylinder class action lawsuit. There is a defect in the design of the cylinder for Ford Focus models 2000-2003. The key may not turn the cylinder anymore to start the car from the minute you step out to pump gas or walk into a store. You will find many other car owners in a similar situation as you, only it failed on the owner and they had no one to blame for it. I’m sorry it failed when it was parked at our shop and your only logical reasoning is the mechanics sabotaged your car. It’s understandable for you to feel that way since we have no prior business relationship. Take care.

I have been going to MINHS auto automotive for 6 to 7 years I cannot recommend them highly enough. The entire team is on point. Vinny or Mike always take the time to give me a clear complete breakdown of the items that need to be repaired in addition to makeing me aware of upcoming maintenance so I can budget accordingly. Everything they do and have done has been documented for a number of the vehicles that I've taken to them. They are always my first recommendation when ever anyone asks me for a mechanic .
