Bradley’s Auto Service

A little over a year ago I bought a Camry second-​hand from a friend and have usually taken it to the AAA in Eatontown for general maintenance work. The last time I had an oil change they ran the codes and told me that I would have to get my entire catalytic converter and leaky radiator replaced or I would fail my next inspection, and quoted me $ 2300. So when the check engine light popped at EXACTLY the right time to cause my inspection to fail, I panicked and assumed that I would have to throw a ton of money at my poor little car to keep it street legal…
…enter Bradley’s Auto Service, who diagnosed it as a simple exhaust leak. For less than the price of what AAA quoted me for the radiator alone they repaired the leak, replaced the radiator, and re-​inspected the car (it passed this time, wooohooo!) in one afternoon. Now I don’t have to worry about being pulled over, having poor commuters get stuck behind me while merging on the parkway because it takes fifteen minutes to get up enough inertia to go the speed limit, or waking up the whole neighborhood while driving down the street. And the whole thing has stopped shaking like it’s about to explode which is a nice perk too I guess.
Thank you Bradley’s Auto! I am eternally grateful for your honesty and efficiency. Everyone always tells me that I can potentially get another 100k miles out of this car if I have it cared for properly and I was incredibly skeptical until today. What a huge relief.

Bradley’s Auto is great! My brakes went metal to metal in just a few days so I was desperate for a mechanic. I brought my car right to a shop that was recommended to me by an acquaintance. They called me the next day with an estimate of almost $ 1,000. I was stunned and told them to hold off on doing the work so I could call around for other quotes. A coworker suggested Bradley’s so I took a chance with a place I was unfamiliar with. They gave me an estimate for what I told them I needed (according to the first shop) and it was over $ 400 cheaper for the same parts to be changed, including labor. I dropped my car off around 5:30pm on Thursday so they could look at it first thing Friday morning. After looking at it, Gary (the owner) called me with a quote of $ 321. He told me I did not need all of the work that was said therefore saving me a lot of money. His shop had my car done and as good as new by 3pm the next day. He also filled out a rebate for me from the brake manufacturer to get an additional $ 25 off. Bradley’s Auto saved me close to $ 700 by being honest. I would recommend them to anyone. I will definitely be going back for anything necessary, even oil changes. If you haven’t been there, give it a try. It saved me a lot of money and a huge headache.
