Cardone & Daughter has by far given me the best in auto repair in my 40 some years of owning cars. You can always count on getting detailed information regarding your repair as well as an honest assessment of what needs to be done right away and what can wait. When you get in your car and drive away you feel confident and stress free. David and his staff are always friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and insure that you have a complete understanding of what needs to be done with your repair. David makes himself available for any questions you may have. I have had so many years of great experiences with C&D that it is like visiting family whenever I need to stop in. If you don't follow any other advice follow this.....go to Cardone and Daughter!!

I've brought my 1964 Pontiac Catalina here numerous times for work. Each visit is a pleasure. The staff if highly professional, the mechanics are top notch, and David Cardone is as honest as they come. I have never felt rushed or uneasy here, They take the time to explain every detail of the repair, what the car needs, and what can wait. When I first brought my car to C&D it was a mechanic basket case. I had made the mistake not not having C&D inspect the car before purchase. Luckily, David helped me devise a plan to get the car back into shape. Over the course of my visits, the stop has transformed a tired old car into a safe, reliable, and comfortable cruiser.



There is a reason why this shop is always so busy. Where else can you find honest mechanics who work on everything from a 1920's Packard, to my 64 Pontiac, to a brand new Mercedes Benz with the same ease? It takes considerable skill to be able to do that. Look at the high caliber vehicles they have in for service and you will see why this shop has such a great reputation.



Do yourself a favor, safe money and hassle by bringing your car here in the first place. They'll fix it right, fix it the first time, and won't charge you for work the car doesn't need.

I brought my Honda Fit in here and got a Safety & Maintenance Inspection and it was so informative. The owner David Cardone went over the report with me. It was such a nice experience and my car was in great condition and didn't need anything. Which was nice to have an honest person not trying to sell me something I didn't need! I would recommend this place to anyone. Please support family businesses!

They are always friendly and helpful here. Glad to bring my car in for service knowing that it wil leave the shop in tip top shape. Those "Quickie lube" places always made me feel uneasy. Cardone's is a great local family business.

Horrible

Cardone and Daughter is by far the worst repair shop I've ever been to. We dropped our car off to have the air conditioning repaired. We were told that they were busy but they get it in as soon as they could. On the third day that it was there, they said they were writing up the invoice. It turns out that they got half way through diagnosing the problem and decided that they were too busy to complete the job. To make matters worse, David, the owner was not only rude but aggressive and hostile towards us. He felt that he did us a favor by looking at the car. So after a $260 bill, three days in the shop, and being yelled at by the owner, what do we have? A car with non operable air conditioning and a lesson learned. This shop is incompetent and have the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

An excellent service center! David, the owner, is most helpful. He makes the repair process simple and easy to understand, always taking time out to give personal attention to your vehicle. The shop is immaculate, something one rarely encounters in the auto repair business! Highly recommended for everything from oil changes to large repairs.

Don't go here; they don't welcome your business when you need them and shouldn't have it.

We are sorry and saddened to read this review. As a family run business, for over 18 yrs, with many long time customers, we always strive to resolve issues fairly and quickly. Sometimes that is not always possible. This case, we hope is still resolvable. We had already reached out, prior to seeing this review, and did not receive a response. The offer is still open for our help with this issue. We would like to have a positive outcome and will do everything possible to achieve that. Thank you.
