Hours

Mon–Sat 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

If you're driving in from Clifton, it's about 6 miles and roughly 15 minutes down Route 3 West to reach us — a straight shot that a lot of Clifton drivers already know from trips out toward the Meadowlands or Route 17. That stretch of Route 3 is stop-and-go more often than not, and all that low-speed braking near the merges wears down brake pads faster than drivers expect. If your car's due for a look, or you just want it checked before your next Route 3 commute, book an appointment with us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth driving from Clifton for auto repair instead of staying local?
Plenty of Clifton drivers come to us because it's a quick, direct trip down Route 3 — about 15 minutes each way — and they'd rather have an independent, ASE-certified shop look at the car than guess. If it's a routine service or inspection, the drive is easy to work into a day of errands.
Can I get my car inspected or serviced same day if I'm coming from Clifton?
Call ahead at 201-935-5100 to check same-day availability. For urgent issues, our emergency service can often work you in faster than a routine appointment.
Do you handle tire and alignment issues from Parkway on-ramps?
Yes. Merging on and off at Garden State Parkway exits 153-155 is hard on tires and alignment, and it's one of the more common issues we see from drivers in your area.
What if my car breaks down on Route 3 before it reaches your shop?
Call us first at 201-935-5100. We can talk through whether it's safe to keep driving or if you should arrange a tow to our shop at 370 Paterson Ave.
