Garjo’s Auto Repair

I hate to give a one star rating to this shop, since the people who work at Garjo’s are good, and they provide good service. I can’t vouch for Garjo’s value as a mechanic, but don’t go here to get welds done!
The luggage rack on my motorcycle broke, and I took it here for a fix. The work was performed quickly, and when I got it back the weld was ugly, but I figured it would still be functional. It wasn’t. three weeks and at most 200 miles later the weld is cracking. I have to get it fixed again, and it wont be at Garjo’s.
P. S. If you come here, be sure to bring cash, they don’t take cards.

BUYER BEWARE!
Garjo sold a vehicle which he did not have the title to and it is now become pure hell trying to get the money back for the vehicle. He has been taken to court and a judgement has been issued against him; however, he continues to give us the runaround. If you value your money and time, DO NOT PURCHASE ANY VEHICLES from him!

Recently was trying to head to Jersey to bring some things back from storage. Lo and behold a thermostat going bonkers! Didn’t make it very far on the freeway. Traffic looked ILL & I stopped off to get an oil change, and engine flush. The guy said I should definitely take my car to a mechanic and get it looked at, if the temperature doesn’t go down.
Next day I aspired to make the trip again. Same thing– the engine was still super Hot. So I stopped at the tire repair down the street, and asked for a referral for a good mechanic. One guy promptly dialed his cell phone and handed it over, saying «Here. Talk to my friend». So that’s how I found Garjo.
I drove to Garjo’s, we lifted the hood, and he took a lookie loo.
Being a girl, finding a trustworthy mechanic is perhaps a bit more difficult, and something to be cautious about. A bit clueless to mechanics et al, Garjo was super nice and honest about what he thought was the problem. I was scared about the bill and told him «I’m broke, and this doesn’t help my situation.» He was extremely accommodating, explained it might be the thermostat, but could also be the gasket. «Let’s change the thermostat first, and then we’ll go from there.»
Garjo made a phonecall, and the thermostat arrived. I sat there and watched-​asking questions the entire time. He didn’t seem to mind, much less flinch in explaining the tubes and parts, how they function together, etc., Thaaankfully it was only the thermostat, and I didn’t blow a gasket.
Garjo comes from a family of car mechanics; he picked up the trade from his father. He also has an auto body shop down the street. A super nice fellow from St. Vincent, he’s an honest mechanic worth taking your sick car to! Thaaaaanks, Garjo!~
