The guys at Sal's are amazing. They were so accommodating to me and did a big job for me in a rush for safety's sake. They went out of their way to help keep my kids happy during the whole ordeal which makes a huge difference to a parent. They always treat me with respect and care. It makes me so happy and confident to have such a great shop so close by. They have my business for life!

Joe and Carlo are great people who treat their customers with respect. You know when you bring your car their to be serviced it will be done right. Can't say that about many places around here. If they do find a problem quick to call you and see how you want to handle it. Not just fix it and you get a suprise when you go to pick it up. Live in this area for 58 years theirs no one else I trust more than Sals. If you are looking for a new place to go please give them a shot trust me they won't disappoint

I took my Chrysler Crossfire to Sal's Auto Service due to their quality work, honesty & knowledge. My previous (inept) mechanic diagnosed the problem inaccurately which would have cost me over $1000, Sal's found the problem to be the battery and dirty connections.the price just over $200. Because of their recommendations & I have complete faith in them, I'm getting other much needed maintenance done. I'm taking all my cars to Sals.

This was my first time coming here, needed to get my photo & state inspections done. A gentleman named Carlo took care of it and made me feel at ease. He was very professional & had a pleasant demeanor. Just watching everyone else work, I could tell that this was the right business for me to bring my car to. I will definitely be coming back for future services.

Great experience at Sal's auto. My co-worker highly recommended them and I see why. Joe and Carlo are really great and so knowledgeable about every facet of my car. Gave me a great price on new tires and had me in and out on schedule with no issues. I just moved to Westchester Co. and this will be my place for auto-care. Service: Tires

My 2014 Audi needed some major work, including a new timing chain and rear taillight. The team at Sal's took care of it, professionally and thoroughly. At a fair price. The Audi dealers price was so high (over $7,000) I considered selling the car. Happy that Sal's was there to change my decision. Service: General repairs & maintenance
