The reviews definitely do not lie.
And this review is late and over do but I have to post it. It's been over 2 months approx?
Hubbie and I were having car trouble.
It's our first car and I don't know anything about cars. I used Yelp, what could it hurt. I called. I asked about what they advertised, it's all true. They verified they do the free estimate, We did have to leave the car for a few hours till they were able to look at it. A few other places charged just to look under the hood. Champion did not. And well you have to give them time to get to you. But that's with anything ..... we had to set an appointment, 11 am. Next day...... I'm being transparent here, not complaining, just so you know,You may have to go find something else to do. We were told it could take a while. So we didn't wait ....The train wasn't far so we went back home. We got a call back, ventured out. They explained what they thought it was and that we would probably save if we brought the car to the manufacturer.....HONESTY! - okay-soooooo They weren't able to find out the
issue but they were honest with us. If we wanted them to, we had the option to start that and then discuss pricing. They also explained what can probably be the issue , so they pointed us in the direction .... That helps. Okay. So that being said.....They gave us advice on a lot actually. We are newly weds, young. No experience and they could have just done what a lot of places do..... but they treat us with respect and care and honesty.
We couldn't be more satisfied, the honesty was very much appreciated and quite frankly everyone was very happy to be there and knowledgeable in their craft from the mechanics down to the office staff, I was impressed to see a young woman and young man working behind the desk but also knew about the cars. Seems like they won't just have anyone working there even if it is just to schedule a car visit. It felt like we were in the right place. This is also a small business not a huge corp. my husband and I have gone to pepboys for tire change and balance. They changed the tires but no balance. It's thinks like that which I find so frustrating and yet important , Especially when it's coming out your pocket. We actually left pleased even though our issue was not solved. We did not get scammed..... we were treated kind. I had some coffee. We know where we will go for future complications.
Btw we finally fixed the problem. The mechanics advice helped with that too. These are professionals and I think I couldn't be happier with everything ....so yes. I do recommend this place. Atleast we won't be looking further. And on the same block they have several other auto body shops..... They know what they are doing and checked off all the boxes for us. I would say go with confidence. Thanks Champion. :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chunjai K.Brooklyn, NY2326120111729Aug 16, 2023
Service was beyond I expected! I was looking for the place on Saturday for inspect my car. I just walked in and didn't expect them to take me, but they were able to squeeze me in :) The mechanic was very nice, professional and waiting time wasn't long. Price point was good. I'm glad I got everything done in one day.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience you had with our team. When you came in for a bodywork estimate, we were advised that a city vehicle hit the vehicle. Unfortunately, our past experiences with the city's insurance agencies have been less than stellar, and for that reason only, we decided to decline this opportunity.
We hope you will consider us for your future car repair needs. - Josh W.New York, NY0121Nov 8, 2023
I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Most recently had to replace a damaged side view mirror, and going back in a few weeks for new tires. Prices are very reasonable, the work quality is excellent, and John and his team are friendly and easy to work with.

Changed brakes but they add poor quality or used break pads. Everytime I hit my breaks it squeaks. I returned to let them know the problem and they said it was just a matter of adjustment, shich they did. The next day my breaks are squeaking again. I lost $1,500 as they charge you for high quality breaks but in reality place cheap ones. It's better to go to the dealer. I don't recommend them.

Providing excellent customer service is one of our primary goals, so we are disappointed you are unsatisfied with your experience. We’d like to learn more about your concerns but were unable to identify you in our records based on the minimal information available in your review.
Please know that at Champion Auto Shop we do not service vehicles with used brake pads. Additionally, it's important to note that new brake parts often come with a protective film on them to prevent corrosion, which can cause some noise in the early going but that noise dissipates after a few uses.
Lastly, we do offer a warranty on all work completed so we'd love to speak to you in order to correct any lingering issue(s).
Could you kindly contact us at 718-937-9391? We hope to speak with you soon. - Emu H.Orange, CA03Mar 5, 2024
Had one low tire and then suddenly had a second go pretty much flat so popped in last minute to this shop and they were the best! Took care of everything super quickly and everyone was very kind and helpful. I will be back for all future tune-ups!

I am glad to do research on Yelp and find this place to fix my 2017 Mini cooper. I prepared to drive to Westchester dealer store to fix my car without right rear turn signal, reverse lamp and right brake/tail lamp from Queens on Saturday morning. I read reviews on the place then I decided to go here on Thursday afternoon. and they replaced my broken parts on next Monday. I highly recommend because these reasons.
1. receptionist very professional and sweet. she made an appointment and confirmed with a text message. she will remind you the day before appointment. (All staffs in the office very organized)
2. machinist very professional. I forgot ask what his name is, but I think all machinists all doing good job. He fixed my lights after Thursday afternoon check and suggested me need change all lights.
3. price. I don't know if it is good price. but they order from my car brand company. and list all parts price very clear. they charged only replacement parts price at first time then you will pay rest of money when they finish all work.
I appreciate that they give me a pleasant experience when I so frustration to deal with my car problems. I will definitely go there if I need help.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jimmy Z.Pasadena, CA1622013Jan 6, 2023
Great place for oil change and maintenance. I brought my cayenne here over the last 2 years for oil change and maintenance. Efficient and reasonably priced. Even when something was not fully fixed the first time, I called and was able to bring car back in the next day to get to fixed free of charge.

I was searching for a reliable mechanic. So I jumped on Yelp. Saw this shop had the most stars. So I made an appointment. Wow no joke you can tell why they scored high. Customer service is on point Jeffrey you are a good person. The whole team has a good energy. They told me exactly what was good with my car and what I needed. They looked up info to help me save money. Like who does that? If you're looking for a mechanic..that you can feel comfortable with.. you found them here.
