Second Alba. Keeps my ’98 bmw running. Little lackadaisical on completion time, but maybe he knows how little I use the car. Very reasonable.

+1 on Lorenzutti. They are a neighborhood institution. We have been going to them for 25+ years. They are honest, competent and stand by their work. Just don’t expect them to be much cheaper than the dealer.

Not Brooklyn, but I like Pace Tire and Diagnostic in Middle Village Queens on 69th and Eliot – they can do anything and are fast and friendly and honest. They’ve done numerous repairs for me.

We’ve been using Nam’s Auto Repair on Baltic btw Hoyt/Nevins for a few years now. Good service, no issues, honest.
