So, insofar as auto shops go... and the dread we all feel when our car needs attention ... and the dreaded putting our lives and routines on hold while our car is laid up for that undetermined and always endless amount of time...
Well put those fears away and take a look at the auto shop at 555 West 131st Street just east of broadway ... It's in a league of its own: Manhattan Alignment and Diagnostics Center, owned by twin brothers Aaron and Ethan Gruber.
This is a gem sitting in the middle of the Big Apple.
Set aside all of your dreaded anticipation when your car needs attention and check it into this shop where you will be received with respect, attention, fairness and a willingness to accommodate you.
These brothers set a tone at their shop that is really like no other. They are there to help. They say "yes". They make themselves available. They listen. They respond. They act. YOU are the lucky beneficiary of results. It's the antithesis to every dreadful auto shop experience that we all have had to endure. When our car is laid up, our routine is interrupted and let's face it, it's always disruptive and a hardship. My experience at Manhattan Alignment & Diagnostics Center was a genuine effort to make a difficult situation manageable. These brothers have set up an auto shop that aims to please. Their focus is to attend to your car, efficiently, expertly, quickly, assuringly... And, before you know it your car is in... and out... with little or no inconvenience to you... or your wallet. No dragging their feet. Their craftsmanship is quality. Their expertise unequalled. Their prices fair. And, their willingness exceptional in an industry whose reputation has been marred repeatedly by unscrupulous auto mechanics.
This shop under the leadership of these brothers gets things done... and gets things done correctly and quickly and at a cost that is fair. Aaron and Ethan Gruber, twin bothers with complimentary personalities and skills... Aaron and Ethan and their auto shop Manhattan Alignment & Diagnostics Center... are the complete package. You'll feel lucky that you placed your car in their considerate and capable hands. Do it! Good luck! ...
Read moreThis is absolutely the worst place to go for an inspection because they never have time to do it anytime you come here. They basically say that all of the mechanics are busy and I feel like if you were to go there for a great job or something else they would have you wait, but if it's something like an inspection, that's a little money, they're just turning you away. Also, the owner of the account responded and said I didn’t make an appointment and I probably just drove up which is true but I went there twice. I went there in the morning and they said they were busy and even then no one said hey you have to make an appointment they just said I’m busy sorry and that was it and when I came back that night, I got the same response busy never did anyone even say you have to make an appointment if that was sad I would’ve made one so again clearly it’s about The money because if I wanted a brake job, then they would say oh yeah, we can do that just make an appointment for tomorrow, but since again it’s a little job it’s like OK we don’t want him making an appointment for $37 job and if that’s the case that’s fine. I will respect that more than somebody telling me. Oh it’s because you didn’t make an appointment when I was never even offered to make an appointment or even told where to go to make the appointment or even better if you want that done, you can make an appointment now with me. No one ever said any of that, but I definitely understand. Thanks...

I needed a state inspection for my car and didn't want to, yet again, go to the dealer where I seem to wait all day and have to deal with traffic to/within/from there. I did a quick search and found MADC, checked the reviews, called, and got an appointment the next day. I asked if they could do an oil change as well and they said no problem.
Everything was easy and reliable, I drove right up, met with Nathan, asked how long it would take (he said an hour), and hopped over to Fairway for some breakfast and sat by the Hudson. One hour later, back at the shop, my car was ready, as promised.
He even asked if I wanted to have the car washed. I spent a fortune at the dealer for my car, did they ever wash it? Nope. Even though I was already thrilled with the pricing and efficiency, this was a wonderful bonus. And they did more than wash it, it was like they detailed it.
Seriously, I didn't want my shoes to touch the...
