If you're driving out of Hackensack, our shop is about 5 miles and 12 minutes away via Route 17 North — close enough for a drop-off before work at Hackensack University Medical Center or a quick trip after parking near The Shops at Riverside. We're an independent, ASE-certified, family-run shop, and we see a lot of cars from the Route 17 corridor because of what that stretch of stop-and-go does to brakes, alignment, and suspension parts.

Getting here

From Hackensack to Our Shop

From downtown Hackensack, the drive to our shop at 370 Paterson Ave in East Rutherford is a straight shot: pick up Route 17 North near the Bergen County Courthouse and stay on it for about 12 minutes (longer if you're catching the backup that forms near the Route 3 split during evening rush). If you're coming from the Anderson St or Essex St train stations, it's the same route south to north — no need to cut through side streets. We're open Mon-Sat 8:00-6:00. If the car won't make the trip, call 201-935-5100 and we can talk through towing options rather than have you risk the drive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does it actually take to get to your shop from Hackensack?
About 12 minutes under normal conditions via Route 17 North. If you're leaving during the evening commute near the Route 3 split, give yourself extra time — that stretch backs up regularly.
I take the train from Essex St or Anderson St — can I still get service done?
Yes. Since we're just up Route 17, some Hackensack customers drop the car off in the morning before heading to the station and pick it up after work. Call 201-935-5100 to arrange timing.
My car got knocked out of alignment hitting a pothole near downtown Hackensack. Is that common?
It happens more than you'd think, especially on the rougher stretches near the courthouse and Main St. We check alignment and suspension components together since one often affects the other.
Do you offer towing if my car won't start near Hackensack University Medical Center or The Shops at Riverside?
Call us at 201-935-5100 and we'll help you sort out getting the car to us safely rather than risk driving it on a bad battery or failing part.
