Carl-Fern Auto Service Station Inc. 285 Main Street, Holbrook, NY 11741

"I have been using Carl-Fern for 20 years. They do great work and, most importantly, they are honest. They never try to sell you on something you don’t need and always make sure their customers are taken care of. Whether you need an inspection or rebuilt engine, I’d recommend Carl-Ferm in Holbrook."

"I brought my vehicle here to receive it's 40,000 mile maintenance service (which included various fluids checked and/or changed). After picking it up I noticed a humming noise and immediately returned. I was told to drop it off first thing the next morning. I dropped it off at 9am and when i didn't hear from them all day, I called @4:45pm. I was told they didn't get a chance to check out my car but they would be on it first thing the following morning. The next day a friend of mine, who works in the vicinity of this shop, called to tell me that my car had been parked out front all day and still hasn't moved as of 4pm. I called immediately without letting them know that my friend was able to see my car from her job. I was told that unfortunately my car needed both front axles replaced and it would be unsafe for me to drive before doing so, that I must have hit a curb or two causing this damage. They actually said they were just taking my car off the lift now. Long story short, after having my husband take my car to another shop, the axles were perfectly fine, all I needed was the front pass wheel bearing replaced. Problem 100% solved for a fraction of the price. THESE GUYS ARE DISHONEST, OPPORTUNISTIC CROOKS! Women beware, they will use deceitful tactics to pressure you into getting unnecessary work- and that's the only department where these guys are pros!"

"As always you won't find a more honest high quality Auto Repair Shop anywhere.The owner John is Great at his job.The mechics are all 1st rate.Johns dad is also a great guy.Try them out and you will never go anywhere else."

"EXCELLENT! Friendly, accommodating, priced right, fast service and they are thorough! I live in Wading River and come all the way to Holbrook for car repairs. Nobody beats them and with 2 teenagers driving older cars, I have had plenty of experience."

"If you want an honest assessment and great customer service hands down you need to take your car here. I have been taking my car and now my wife’s car over here for the past couple of months and these guys know what their doing and talking about. The prices are very reasonable and they explain everything that is wrong with your car before they start fixing it. I have used other places but these guys I highly recommend because it’s an family owned shop and they are fair and honest. P.S. When stop by ask for Carlos or Carlos JR."
