Short, straight to the point version: Go to Joshua before you go to anyone else in Rockland county.Long version:I have gone to a lot of different mechanics in the area in the last few years, in addition to the dealership. Due to my horrible experiences at most of these shops, I started to do some of the simple repairs myself (brakes, fluid changes, etc), but always dreaded any major issues beyond my expertise. Having finally gone to 260 auto, I’m finally comfortable knowing that there is a local shop with world class knowledge. A lot of mechanics and shops lack critical thinking skills. I legit wasted thousands on repairs at other shops. However, It was clear that Joshua and his team were the exception in that they had the problem solving skill and passion needed to take care of your car. My typical approach is to go in to a shop, having done my diligence and say little and listen more to the other person to gauge them as a person, their knowledge base, and their structured though process (or lack of).The more Joshua explained to me what was wrong with my car and his methodological approach to getting to the root cause, it was clear this guy knew what he was taking about. I’ve often been perplexed why most mechanics have very little diagnostic skills when fundamentally they’re diagnosing safety issues with your car, in many ways putting your life at risk no more than a doctor misdiagnosing a condition early for your personal health. Joshua and his team have the SURGICAL PRECISION that you didn’t even know you should look for in an automotive repair shop. While all other mechanics told me to keep throwing parts at my car, Joshua was straight up and told me it’s better to look at getting a new car rather than paying him money to do what others did. He thinks long term and strategically when it comes to taking care of your car as well as building a relationship based on trust.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I have been visiting Josh for a few years ...for all my mechanically needs... and a positive energy boost... this is the cleanest... most organized... “progressive mechanic” you will ever visit... more like your personal automotive consultant! I have taken my classic car... generators... boring cars and Of course... Jeep to him!

I am a young female and often feel I get taken advantage of when going to mechanics because they assume I won’t realize either way.After trying out this place I was blown away by the transparency and kindness Josh has demonstrated. He is not there to take your money. He genuinely cares about whatever the problem may be. I have never left a car place feeling more like the workers were generous with they’re effort and not for the money.So glad to have found this and simply that people like Josh exist.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now but glad to finally be doing it now. I cannot express how happy I am bringing my Jeep to Josh and his crew. My brother has trusted him for years and finally got me to go to 260 and I couldnt be happier. I've never had so much trust in someone in regards to my car. Josh is honest, he explains things in a way that makes sense he's proactive and extremely fair in price! He truly wants you to make good decisions and provides you with all the information you need to make those decisions. I've never met a mechanic who's honestly told me I didn't need work done and that I still had time until I did. Who does that? JOSH! I highly recommend 260 Auto to anyone and everyone! You wont regret it! Thanks Josh :)

Josh has been working on my cars forever. What brought me initially to his door was blown motor on my car. Through his and his team's expertise, I got my car back better than it ever was. These guys know cars and all of them are enthusiasts, so you know they care about what they're doing. Plus everyone is ASE certified.When it comes to anything, Josh tells you the truth and there is no tricks. Whether it is a small or large service, he will tell like it is AND how to go about handling it. If you're confused about parts, he makes solid recommendations. True experience speaks for itself.There is real quality here and the best part is, he works on anything and everything. Their automotive knowledge knows no bounds. American, Euro, Japanese...you name it, he can do it.It is incredibly tough to find a shop you can trust, but I just did the work for you. Go see Josh and I promise you, you won't go anywhere else.Services: Engine repair, Transmission, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Tires, Auto engine diagnostic, Steering & suspension repair, Battery, Installation, Air & cabin filter replacement, Custom fabrication, Brakes, Wheel alignment, Oil change, Air conditioning, Body & Trim, Exhaust, Auto engine tuning

Used this business to repair my lights on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Had after market lights...owner went on about how he wanted to be my mechanic and how he use to work for Rockland dodge & how they did horrible work and customer service was bad. Long story short ..he ended up putting regular lights that didn’t work. My directional also didn’t work and he had my Jeep for a week. Gave me a discount because the lights didn’t work and told me he would call me and fix the problem. That was 4 months agoService: Installation

First of all I have traveled all over the United States and a few countries overseas. I have been up in NY since April 2020 on a contract at a local hospital working with Covid-19 and general acute care patients. My very reliable Toyota would not crank up one day. I was 10 hours away from home and quite worried. Josh took several hours of his own time to evaluate each system in my car. He drove it up and down the Palisades Parkway and could find nothing wrong with the car. I fully expected to pay him for several hours of work. He refused to accept payment and I really was pretty overwhelmed at his kindness. He could have charged me a lot of money because first of all I am not local, second of all it took several hours of his time, and third of all I may never see him again. But I will NEVER forget him and the kindness that he and so many other New Yorkers displayed toward me and the other contract medical people that came up here to work. Thank you Josh!! I hope I deliver healthcare half as good as you take care of your customers! You are AMAZING and I thank you so much! New York has a reputation of having very tough people, but there is also a camaraderie here which is quite contagious. Thanks Josh!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I was referred to 260 Auto Repair by a coworker. Josh and his team repaired my car and other issues caused by past shops. They did a great job and my car is like new again. Will definitely be going back for all future work on my car 😊😊

Excellent auto repair center. They give you honest estimates, and don't try to lowball you to get in the door. I had a 2004 old jalopy that I was trying to resurrect. They said it wouldn't make sense based on their assessment. I appreciate that very much, and intend to be back to 260 to use their services in the future. Five stars.
