I have nothing but positive things to say about Nick and his crew. I recently purchased a used 2002 BMW 530i and was looking for a reputable mechanic in my neighborhood. A quick Yelp search showed me all the glowing reviews. So I decided to give them a try. 1) First Impression - Judging a book by its cover: You can tell a lot about a shop just by how tidy it's kept. My old mechanic in Long Island City has a shop that always looks like a war zone. He could never find anything (including my car key for pickup sometimes), and always looked stressed. But the guys at Steinway run a tight ship. I believe that (in any profession) if you make the extra effort to keep your work space clean, you'll have less headaches, and you'll waste much less time looking for that elusive socket or screw. Which means you'll have more time to focus on the tasks at hand. At Steinway, you won't find piles of engine blocks, brake rotors and wiring harnesses stacked precariously in random corners. 2) The Diagnosis - I knew buying a used car would need some TLC, and I was mostly concerned with the cooling system on my 530, which is somewhat of an Achilles's heel on BMWs. The gents threw the car on a lift almost immediately and diagnosed a leaky radiator. Something I missed on my initial inspection of the car, but to the trained eye, it was instantly apparent. After some discussion, Nick suggested that I could possibly get away with just replacing the radiator and a hose or two, but we ultimately decided that the best course of action would be to replace the entire cooling system, thermostat, water pump and all related hoses and hardware. I was leaning towards this option anyway for peace of mind. At no time did I feel pressured to commit to more work that I thought was necessary. Nick simply articulated the pros and cons of either route. 3) The Service - After committing to the service, Nick assured me that he would treat the car as is own (he also owns a BMW) and would use only the best parts, either OEM or top-of-the-line 3rd party, depending on the application. They also performed an inspection, installed my new plates and registration sticker flawlessly (I'm usually very particular about the placement of the windshield sticker placement). Nick even proactively replaced the BMW hood emblem on the car because it was old and faded/peeling. This is a shop that cares about your ride. A couple of days later I was back on the road in my "new" car and she purrs like a kitten. I'll be going to Steinway for all my future BMW needs! Thanks again!

  • Amanda Pacheco

Took my car to this location for a NY state inspection as I had a scheduled appointment with Steinway Auto Repair INC, left my car out front of Steinway-Auto Repair INC, (as no one invited me to park my car inside the shop). Went to pick up my car from their shop, and had received a ticket for parking my car without a NY inspection sticker in front of their Auto Repair SHOP. I WAS THERE for a NY STATE Car inspection. The front desk personal at Steinway Auto Repair was very dismissive, and brushed the issue. Overall very disappointed that they would be very unkind and allow me to receive a ticket for a service that I was there to OBTAIN! I Always trust the mechanics I go to 100%, always looking to them for advice and knowlege as I dont have ANYONE in my family to turn too. I Never leave negative reviews ANYWHERE, but this treatment was so disappointing and a complete breach of TRUST. Now, as I prepare to get ready for my Night shift as a nurse, I have to deal with this ticket after a long 12 hour day. Very disapointed customer.

  • Usman Ali

This place i been coming to for all my BMWs now, the x5 the 335i and the 535i i have. This shop most deff. Will get the job done right the first time, but do not come thinking you will get away with the same prices you get in the junkyard. You will get for what you pay for. The prices are given to you before the job is done, and you may think it is expensive, but its always safer to pay and get the job done right. If you are looking for good service, and fast service? This shop will satisfy you needs, the owner calls you as soon as he finds your issue, and always has the car done on the time he says it will be done. This shop is what you call professionalism, and its very convenient for anyone who works alot and just needs to drop it off and pick it up on their time. Nick is the main owner, u will most likely deal with him or Andy his father, and they are both nice guys who perform their job well. Im very secure with them and they are my only spot i go to until today.

  • Syed Hussain

I had looked at all the positive reviews prior to going to them 6 months ago. And honestly, I had a positive experience with them as well...at least I thought I did. I went there for a simple oil change. I brought my own oil and oil filter. I'm super anal about my cars so I put in Mobile 1 and K&N oil filter with each oil change. They said they had done the oil change with the parts supplied. I decided to perform my own oil change today only to find out that the oil filter I supplied to them at the last oil change, the one they said they replaced, was never changed. I'm not even sure if they put in the higher quality oil I supplied them with. Very disappointed. Tread with caution.

  • Valerie

Went in for an oil change. They didn't screw the cap back on, which caused air to get into my system and my "service engine soon" light to come on and the system to read that the Mass Air Flow Sensor was bad, then later that the oxygen sensors were bad (among other things). Several weeks, two mechanics, and a new mass air flow sensor later, finally found a mechanic who properly diagnosed and fixed the problem --- Steinway Auto Repair didn't screw the oil cap on when they did my oil change. Cost me significant time and hundreds of dollars. Do not recommend.

  • Peggy Robin

This place was just terrific. Diagnosed the problem, fixed it efficiently -- very friendly, competent, and easy to deal with. While I was waiting, I saw a guy come in with a complicated problem, requiring the order of a hard-to-get part. They explained to him very patiently what was needed and how long it would take to get the part and do the repair. I could see they were being perfectly honest with him. Though my car's problem was a simple fix, it was good to see how they dealt with a complicated case. Great neighborhood shop! Highest recommendation.

  • Louis Gonzalez

Found this shop online and tried it out because of the other positive reviews, so I wanted to take the time to confirm that I had a great experience with Steinway Auto as well. Brought my car in about 2 weeks ago after the AC in my car went dead. When I brought the car in, Frank welcomed me like an old friend. Can’t say enough good things about how he kept me in the loop during diagnostic and repair, and than went above and beyond to make sure that the problem was fixed correctly. I highly recommend this shop for honest and high quality service.

  • Tasos Miltiadou

Three Generation Small Family Business that has been powering our Small A/C Company for more than Five Decades in good times, and bad times. I am compelled to write this review at this time, because of the support we have received from Steinway Auto Repairs during this unprecedented time. The Ownership is Hands-on, with high level of technical competence on both mechanical and electronic issues. If you are looking for honest and professional people with high level of technical skills, look no further than Steinway Auto Repairs.

  • Elizabeth Napoleon

I had a truly wonderful experience with Steinway Auto Repair. I stopped in without an appointment for a vehicle inspection. Steinway completed the inspection and replaced my worn-out brakes in only 2 hours. They went above and beyond to quickly get the parts needed for the job - the owner walked to the auto parts store instead of waiting for a delivery because he knew I needed to pick up my daughter! Their prices were reasonable and the employees were nice and professional. I cannot recommend them enough.

  • Adam L

Came here to see if they could squeeze us in for a brake job (rotors/pads) on an X5 and had a fantastic experience. Nick was knowledgeable and honest about everything and gave a great price for the service. The parts were ordered instantly and the service was completed in half a day. The rest of the staff were also extremely kind and quick to respond to any calls or questions that we had. Great shop, would highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back for any future maintenance!

  • Julia Christine

Been here twice: First time for an inspection, and second time to replace my alternator. Both were good experiences. Prices were fair, with absolutely no sketchy pricing. Everything is discussed before any work is done so you know what to expect price-wise ahead of time! This is an honest person taking care of your car. My results from Nick replacing my alternator were amazing! Will go back again. He was recommended by a friend who had a good experience as well.

  • Daisy Larom

I had to come in twice in 3 weeks for unexpected repairs and Frank took me in and got the job done quickly, keeping me in the loop and explaining the issues, and even gave me a discount! I have had other repairs done here in the past that were also great, but getting the help I needed during this difficult time was really exceptional. I’m so glad I have a new mechanic that I trust nearby, I would definitely recommend them to friends and family!

  • Mitch

Steinway Auto Repairs is the only mechanic I've gone to since 2014. I found them through YELP reviews after my radiator was leaking after work being done by my last mechanic. Turned out he never replaced the thermostat. Nick and Andy (and now Frank) are so trustworthy. I have an old car and they have kept it running all these years with very little work compared to all my friends and family. It's a no brainer to keep returning to them.

  • M Arif

I spoke to Nick ! He told me he will clean A/C filter and recharge the A/C if still A/C doesn’t work then will be compressor need to be changed and cost will be between $100 to $120 plus tax. I paid $144 and he didn’t clean filter neither recharge A/C just told me need to replace compressor. I asked him to do the job I paid for he gave me attitude and telling come on you have mercedese! Lier and scam to next level Never go there

  • Kent Wilhelm

I've lived in NYC with a car my entire life. Never have I had the pleasure of finding a spot like this. Brought in my car one morning with a worrying rattle, Frank said he'd give me a call in the afternoon to let me know what's up. An hour later he tells me I'm all set. This was my second time visiting this spot and I'm so relieved that whenever I have an issue, I've got a place int he neighborhood I know will take care of me.

  • Kris Hernandez

This auto shop takes care of you! I’m from the Midwest and I can’t believe this gem exists in my neighborhood. The first time I came here they took really good care of my car. I have a 2004 Kia that’s been cross country a few times and they keep it running. Nick and Frank have always worked with me financially and they have never tried to sell me on unnecessary services or parts. These guys are honest and trustworthy.

  • Aaron Messing

Came in because I thought my car was dying. The car sounded like it was going to crumple every time I went over the smallest bump. I brought the car in, expecting the worst, and Nick and his team were able to fix it by disassembling and reassembling something that got misaligned. Because of their honesty, I walked away with a really light bill and a car that feels good as new. Highly recommend.

  • Andrew Charles

My Mustang needed to be taken to the glue factory until the staff at Steinway Auto Repair got ahold of her. Breaks, leaks, exhaust, stuff I hadn’t even heard of; you name it, it needed serious repair just to pass inspection. A couple of days later, they gave it back to me 100% road ready and legal. I’d recommend them to anybody.

  • Jennifer Grunwald

Great shop! Super friendly and helpful. Nick (I think) explained everything to me plainly and did everything he could to make my experience as painless as possible (old car, needed fixing to pass inspection). Can't guarantee competitive pricing as I didn't shop around but it seemed reasonable. Highly recommended.

  • Katianna Z

This is by far the greatest place in Astoria to take your car. These folks are honest, fair, talented, friendly, and excellent at what they do. I’ve been here several times for varying issues with my car, and always leave extremely satisfied with the work done. I wouldn’t dream of taking my car anywhere else!!

  • Sean H

I started coming here about a year ago. Driving an old car that just got me from point A to point B. Frank and his team always let me know what was wrong with the car, but never pushed anything unnecessary. Their honesty and good work was greatly appreciated. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

  • Miroslaw Malek

I living far from this shop but I purchase used car nearby and I chose them to inspect it. I decided to come back to them because car was wobbling on the highway. They diagnoses was correct to replace the one of the part of suspension and now car is driving much better and safer. Thank you guys

  • Irene Rigatos

Nick and his staff are the most honest and reliable mechanics in all of Queens- probably in all of NYC. I have been to numerous other garages in the past where I’ve been lied to just to keep spending money for no reason. You will be 110% satisfied with the service at Steinway Auto Repairs.

  • K Saoulis

I love these guys! Always fair prices, always there to please the customer and you leave the shop knowing you’ll never need to go in for a while because they really look after your car and treat it as if it was one of their own! Best trustworthy mechanic in NYC! Would recommend to anyone!

  • Dan The Grip

Love these guys. They are honest and get the job done quickly. They could have taken more money from me with my old truck, but instead advised me to get rid of the damn thing and buy a new car because the repairs aren’t worth it. I listened. My fiancé and I are loyal customers now.

  • dan g

I have never had a bad experience with Steinway Auto. They always inform me on possible issues and options, quality work and fair pricing. Will continue to utilize their services and highly recommend them to others. Very hard to find honest mechanics but these guys are for real!

  • Alejandro Berti

This place is truly great! I took my old Ford Fiesta to get a oil change and replace the front brakes. The price was reasonable and everything was on point. The owner Nick was ver nice and the mechanic Ramon did a great job. The kept their word and delivered professionally.

  • M Qasim

I took my Jaguar S type R to Steinway Auto repair for coolant hoses replacement. They were very helpful during the entire process and for a reasonable price. The owner of this shop is very knowledgeable about German and British cars. I highly recommend this repair shop.

  • Scott De Silva

Best mechanic I've been to so far. As a person with nearly 0 car experience or understanding, I never feel scammed or taken advantage of. Stephanie is always patient and willing to break things down for me. Everyone seem like family there and prices are fair …

  • June Kim

Amazing and trustworthy service. Went in for minor problems, and Frank explained everything clearly and how to maintain upkeep to prevent any future problems. They were also conscientious about mask wearing during COVID. Would definitely recommend to any car owner.

  • Samantha Frangos

Steinway auto repairs provides quick and consistent service every time! I have been going to Nick for years and I could not imagine going anywhere else. Needed an inspection, and I was back on the road in no time. Trustworthy, friendly and most of all experienced!

  • John Coker

I came to this shop from out of town, trusting that this would be a good place to go after reading the reviews. Not only did Nick the owner take great care in solving my car issues from start to finish but he also charged me a very reasonable price for labor.

  • Jennifer F

Best auto mechanic in Astoria, hands down! Very honest. I go here for all maintenance on my Honda CRV. Had my catalytic converter stolen a few months ago and Nick worked with my insurance to replace it. Always courteous, professional and accommodating.

  • Brandon Doyle أبو يعقوب

Got my windshield replaced here and an oil change to go along with it. Their service was excellent and their prices fair. The crew also gave me recommendations on DIY maintenance for my car without presuring me for more work. Will come back again.

  • Mark Crescimanni

I've known Andy and Nick for years and I don't bring my car anywhere else. This time it was just a quick visit for inspection and oil change, but I know I can always rely on them for honest and quality repairs when needed. Highly recommended.

  • Matthew McKay

Great mechanic! Nick figured out the issue and fixed it extremely quickly. I'm a little unhappy about the surprise credit card surcharge with the bill, but otherwise I had a great experience. I'll be coming back next time I have any issues.

  • Christopher Moon

I went into Steinway auto repair with a flat tire and the mechanic fixed it for a very reasonable price. I went in thinking it was because of a leak but he found out it was just flat and didn't overcharge. I will be going here from now on!

  • Joseph Fava

I have been coming to Steinway Auto for the past 6 years and they are excellent! Always welcoming and professional. The owner and employees do their best to take care of the car and customer. They have always had availability and their
