Rich went above and beyond to fix my flat tire and it was not an easy one. He took the time to get it done right, and I really appreciate the extra effort. It’s great having a reliable mechanic close by. Highly recommend.

Rich is a gentleman and a scholar! His ability to diagnose the hardest problems other shops have issues with is a true gift to the customers.

I’ve been going to Anthony’s first shop, Bergen Autowerks in Franklin Lakes, for years and have always had an awesome experience there with my European cars. Now that he’s opened Oakland Autoworks, it’s great to have that same quality and honesty for non-European cars too.
The team here is super friendly, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain everything. It’s great knowing I can count on the same level of care and service I’ve come to expect from Bergen Autowerks, now closer to home in Oakland.
Highly recommend both shops — Anthony and his team always go above and beyond!

New manager Rich is awesome. Had a bad coolant sensor and thermostat, he was able to have it fixed much quicker than expected and for a price far below any other shop or dealer estimate. He knows what he's doing and won't push unnecessary services or parts on you. Always go to Rich for your car & truck issues!
