Superior Care Auto Center, Inc.

About us

Superior Care Auto Center was formed in 2002, when Superior Electric and Pro Care, two long established businesses with over 100 years of combined work experience, decided to merge. We are one of Brooklyn's most technologically advanced, independent repair centers. Our up-to-date library has the largest database, and the latest service bulletins, as well as recall notices. We can repair problems large or small, without trial and error diagnostics. Foreign or domestic, new or old, our experience and our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment will keep your vehicle in top working order. Come to us (as other repair shops do for training and repairing vehicles that are too difficult for them to diagnose), and see why most of our customers are lifelong customers and refer their friends. Superior Care Auto Center services both foreign and domestic cars, as well as light trucks. To ensure our customer's satisfaction, we only use brand name parts in all of our repairs. Our technicians have the training and equipment to provide scheduled repairs, tune-ups, preventative maintenance, diagnostics and troubleshooting, electrical repairs, safety inspections, emission testing, theft repairs, air bags, and New York State Inspections. All of our services and parts are protected 100% by a Nation Wide Guarantee, for up to two years, or 24,000 miles. We are open from Monday to Friday, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Angie's List members who mention that found us through Angie's List are entitled to a 5% discount, before tax, on their bill.

I was very happy with the service. Lindsay explained everything that I needed and how much it would cost as well as what I would need in the short term.
Description of Work: I was very happy with the service. Lindsay explained everything that I needed and how much it would cost as well as what I would need in the short term. The work done was my inspection, replacement of my drive belt and back tire and sealing of my passenger side headlight which save me a bundle. Would definitely go there again. superior Care will be my staple for my car service and I definitely recommend them.

They are really excellent for car repair. They are very reasonable and they are very honest. They were recommended to me by a neighbor because the Toyota dealer in Bay Ridge was so outrageous in their prices.

I scheduled the appt. online. I was able to drop my car the evening before the appt. as it was more convenient for me. They called my cell to apprise me of progress made, and mentioned that they found a the source of another problem I mentioned where the floor mats were getting soaked when it rained. They also repaired a minor problem with my right front fender com a previous accident. The car was ready when promised. They were very professional. This was my second time using this company, and I was very pleased both times. I will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: They did a 60,000 mile service on my car.

They're honest. Their prices aren't low, but they don't overcharge or do unnecessary things. They save you money in the long run. They're very professional-almost like going to a good physician.
Description of Work: They did an oil change and did an inspection. They rotated the tires and told me what would be needed next. They did only what was necessary. The car is now the healthiest person in the family.

Not much that I can say about their service based on these two procedures. However, I will say that when I inquired about performing a rotation of my tires, one of the owner performed a check on my tires and said it was not necessary at all. This speaks volume because I bet that any other shop would have said I need it done. This kind of honesty is what most people look for when taking in their cars for service and I certainly admire that. I certainly will go back to this shop for other car services and I am nowhere close to this place. I had to drive a long way to get there but that's how happy I was with their service. One word of caution, they don't have a waiting area so if you expect to take your car and wait for it, you going to be really uncomfortable. There is not much to see in that area except for a Home Depot which is within walking distance. So plan to drop the car off so as to not inconvenience yourself.
Description of Work: I had the tires on my car balanced and had a wheel alignment done.

It was a good experience because the professionalism was definitely there. They told me what the problem was and they explained it. I've always had new cars and needed to find a mechanic I could trust for this used car. It wasn't perfect because I had to go back a few times but I understand how auto shops are in general but they didn't really discover the problem the first time I told them. There was a little bit of an error with one of my requests but nothing big. The price was good.

Superior Care Auto Center were great. They were really fantastic. They are really good with diagnostics. They are one of the best technology equipped garages in the city. They are fantastic. They held on to the car for awhile, but I told them that was fine. They were great. They would email me updates. When you call them the get back to you and explain what is going on. They don't replace parts to try and figure out a problem. Which is what garages typically do. I felt out of all the shops I went to they were the best. They really go through diagnostics. They tell you what has to be done. They are very good. Because I liked them I asked them to really check the car. My car is old, it is an '89. A lot of garages wouldn't even handle my car. I have had it for a long time and am the original owner. It is a nice car. They were really excellent. I have the manual and they said they didn't need it, because they had access. They are really high tech. Superior took the car, told me about it, then reprogrammed the car. It really was only $200-$300 for that job, but then I really asked them to look at other things to. They are my shop now, even though it is a good distance from where I live. It is a good half hour drive, but it is really worth it. I had a really good experience.
Description of Work: I had my car repaired at Superior Care Auto Center. My car kept stalling. I took it to my regular garage and still stalled. I took it to another garage and it still stalled. It was really a bad problem and none of them could really diagnose it. I took it to Superior Care Auto and they really checked the car. They figured out the problem, which was a computer problem. The computerized system was giving the engine the wrong signal which is why the engine kept giving out. It wasn't really anything mechanical which is why none of the other garages could figure it out. The previous place I had gone to replaced all my spark plugs which was unnecessary and they charged me for it.

I'll take the car over and have them look at it. I know I'll get an honest answer and do business with them in future.
Description of Work: I was impressed by their Super Service Award and decided to cold call. Charlie is remarkable! My car was involved in an accident and I needed advice on what could be done to get the car running again. Charlie personally got on the phone with me and gave me options on what could be done with my car. He offered to take a look at it and tell me had bad the damage is and if it is fix-able at all. I really appreciate the offer to go above and beyond the standard red tape you get with a dealership. That's rare in a town like New York City!

My check engine light was on, which could be a result of so many different potential problems. I was nervous that the mechanic would take advantage of the situation, but the professionals at Superior Care didn't do that at all. I made an appointment (which they confirmed the day before) and just a few hours later received a phone call that the problem was spark plugs. They replaced the spark plugs and I was able to pick up my care by the end of the day. It was also very convenient that they are located near a subway stop so I could get back and forth to work without having to call car service. It was a very good experience. Then a few weeks later, my battery was dead. I don't know if it was something left over from the previous check engine problem or a coincidence. I had the battery jump started and drove directly to Superior Care. They took the car without an appointment, but I did have to call a few times that day to get an update. My car wasn't ready by the end of the day, but the next morning I got a phone call that they were replacing the battery and was able to pick up the car at the end of the day. Overall I received good service in what could have been a very stressful experience.

XThese guys are the best. They have never let us down. Explain everything. Only once in 30 (really, 30 already?) years did they miss anything and they were sooo mortified and fixed it immediately. Sometimes I have had to wait to get an appointment for the car, but we won't take it anywhere else, no where else has been as satisfactory when we have had to go elsewhere. The young men working there now along with Frank and (brain slip - cannot remember name) are well trained and just as polite. Serviced all our cars, beginning in the 1980s with a new Honda Prelude, then an old, used Chevrolet, then a 10 year old Honda wagon, 2 VW Passat wagons, and our current Subaru.

Brought my older Canadian 4 wheel drive Toyota Tacoma to our Manhattan apartment and it became extremely difficult to shift the manual transmission. Looked on Angie's List and found Superior Care. They went over the entire vehicle; pointed out some potential future problems; assured me it's safe to return to Canada in, which was our main concern. The vehicle is 17 years old and they could have had a field day with repairs - a nightmare to an owner of an older vehicle away from it's regular mechanic. They were friendly, attentive, professional. A true pleasure to work with.

I was blown away by my experience at Superior Care. Everything about the experience was great, from the quick appointment I got with a text message confirmation to the detailed phone call after diagnosis to the in person report after the work was done. This is a very professional business with pride in how they treat their customers. I was really impressed and don't plan to go anywhere else. I'm not sure how the prices compare, but I'm willing to pay a little to have every detail about possible car issues explained to me in a patient and friendly way. Thank you.

My experiences with Superior Auto Care have always been great!
Description of Work: Honesty!!!!! You can't ask for more than that! Honesty, Professionalism, Helpful , Friendly. I have been going to Superior Auto Care for years and they are the ONLY, I repeat ONLY, auto service garage that I would use. Friom the first time I used them, I knew I could trust them, they were always straight forward with me, the were communicative, instructional if I asked for it and never once did I feel that they had any hidden agendas. They were always interested in helping me do what was best for my car at a reasonable price. They do excellent work, are timely, show respect to their customers and are reasonably priced. I trust them and so should you!

I've only been here twice but I will absolutely be back; and I'm really happy to have found this shop based on reviews from Yelp and from here. I also posted this exact review there. .I'm fairly particular in general. I want the car serviced according to the manufacturer's service schedule. Superior attaches the service schedule to you and your car in their computer system. They know what needs to be done and when. Previous experiences in other shops had the mechanic completely blowing off my request to do what was on the list either doing what they thought was necessary or trying to do a whole lot more. The local dealers have their own service schedules which unsurprisingly includes a lot of extra unnecessary work. I'm impressed that they take the time to explain everything they're doing, and in terms of repair, what is more important and what is less important. The flip side of this is that you may wait a while in a fairly cramped office while they spend time with other customers; but when they get to you, they will give you the same attention and service. The quality of the work seems excellent. The level of knowledge about customers individual models also seems excellent. For example, the transmission and rear transaxle fluids in my car are brand specific, other brands can cause issues. They're the first shop I've found that knew that right up front and stocked or obtained the right stuff. They're not afraid to say they don't know something and will look up information right in front of you to verify it. (I've seen mechanic's just make stuff up on the fly that I knew was wrong) They're going to keep my car running forever; or at least a good portion thereof. Overall, I think they're on a par with the great Stef of Capsule whose untimely demise left many people scrambling to find a replacement. It took me a few years to find them and I'm real happy I did.

If your car is no longer under warranty and you want good honest service bring your car here.
Description of Work: Had problems with an 11 y/o car that needed to pass inspection. The rear end had to be repaired and the car would not pass inspection because of multiple sensor issues. The car was at the shop for a total of 4 days because of the numerous issues. In that time I received an update everyday from Superior. They explained to me in detail what the car needed to pass and fixed the rear suspension.

They did not charge me anything. They did have a list of suggested things to do that amounted to $900 but I didn’t pay them. They said that if I have done any of those things in a certain amount of time, I don’t have to do it again. It’s totally weird. They told me to come back when I needed anything. They’ve done some simple repairs for me in the past. They also fixed my door handles, oil change and stuff like that in the past. I find them to be very friendly. They explain everything that they are doing. They answer questions. They have a good demeanor. They seem trust worthy especially after they checked my car and didn’t charge me anything for it, and also asked me to come back when it’s time for an oil change. I would use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I take my car to Superior Care Auto Center Inc. I last took my car to them either in late April or early May. I took my car there for an oil change. They had a look at my car and said that my oil looks to be good for another fifteen hundred miles. They said that I should probably come back in July. They also had a look at my brake rotor. They basically looked over the car and didn’t charge me anything.
