Let your search end here...L&M is the best shop in NY!!! On my way to Cambridge almost 2 months ago, I took my 2002 Passat into the DEALER for a quick oil change and a lightbulb. I was told that they would have to clean out the engine and replace a hose...$675+$90. I took my car back after paying almost $300 for them to do the oil change and labor for ALMOST putting in a lightbulb...did I mention that I'm a student? So out of nowhere, my brake failure light comes on this week. The car manual directed me to the DEALER and that was it for me. I did a search on the net and came up with L&M FOREIGN CARS which seemed to have a great reputation. Licensing was displayed clearly on their site and they'd been in business for almost 40 years. Billy, the owner, and his son Michael are an auto repair Dream Team with a super-knowledgeable staff, and superior customer service. Upon inspection of my VW, L&M immediately informed me that my engine DID NOT have to be cleaned out as my DEALER had warned me, and that it would actually cause harm to the engine...I would just have to change the oil every 2-3000 miles. Not only that, but I was driving on a BROKEN AXLE and some other minor issues. All of which were presented to me for my eyes to see. Mind you, the DEALER NEVER NOTICED THE BROKEN AXLE (and it wasn't a recent occurence). They waited for my go ahead before any repairs were made and were able to get me a $790 axle for $198 in a matter of minutes, which I don't guarantee everytime, but Michael tried REALLY hard to find the best deal and called around! I'm soooo grateful! For a COMPLETE OVERHAUL of the car INCLUDING REPAIRS, I ended up paying LESS than what I would've payed the DEALER to simply clean out the engine! It was worth my traveling down from the Mount Vernon area to Brooklyn! My car hasn't run like this since it was purchased in 2001! A couple of his regulars showed up towards the end of my day and it was like an L&M FORIEGN CARS infomercial...They will not bring their cars to anyone else and neither will I.
