Dr Marv's Transmissions

"Unfortunately my transfer case broke one night on my way home from work in mid September 2021. I had AAA tow it to a local shop. That guy didn’t have the capability to fix it so he sent it to a well known franchise transmission shop who’s initials are LM. Well LM gave me a quote of $3000 to fix the broken transfer case with a 30 day guarantee! Me not knowing much about cars knew that was a very bad deal. I then reached out to my cousin who works at a Chevrolet dealership (I have a Chevy) to see if I could purchase the part from him. I could but with the supply chain issue, the part wouldn’t be available until mid November (a 2 month wait). I relayed this message to LM and he told me I had to have my car towed back to my house until the part came in. Problem with that is I don’t have driveway parking and wouldn’t be able to move the car if needed (such as for the never ending street repairs or snow). I asked him to give me a day to figure out what I could do. The next day I got very busy and didn’t get to figure something out. Late afternoon, LM called and said he had put my car on the street and in Union where he is located, there is no overnight parking so the car will be impounded. I googled “Transmission Shops” and found Dr. Marv’s. He had great reviews so I called him. I explained about the 2 month wait for the part and asked if he would be able to store my car. They said yes and couldn’t have been nicer! So I had the car towed to Dr. Marv’s! More supply chain issues and my part didn’t come in until the end of January 2022. I kept Dr. Marv’s informed of this. As soon as the part was received by them, my car was fixed a day later! Not only did they do a terrific job but between the cost of the new part and the installation by Dr. Marv’s, my cost was far less than the $3000 quote from the other transmission shop! I would highly, highly, highly recommend Dr. Marv’s!"

"I called the owner last week, as i needed a part replaced. He told me to come in Tuesday morning of the following week in which I did, only for him to tell me to come in next week as he was too busy..Had I known he was not going to treat me as a customer I would have taken my car somewhere else and not wasted a week waiting. Very unproffessional I would not recommend."

"I have employed Dr. Marv's three times in the last year for work that my regular garage wouldn't do or that the dealer was uncooperative in doing. All three times the work was super, the attitude outstanding and the costs very reasonable. They were very flexible and will continue to be the chosen location to keep my 17 year old vehicle on the road to "Classic" status."

"These guys are the real deal - I can't say enough good things about this shop. I've taken my 15 year old Mazda to places all over north Jersey but this is my #1 go-to. Unlike other places around, who will absolutely take advantage of customers, these guys do it right and are very reasonably priced. If I could give 6 stars, I would! (Also, they support pittie rescues so you know they're good people!)"

"Best Shop in NJ. I needed to get work done on my Transmission. Although I needed to wait a few days to drop car off due to them really being busy it paid off. I dropped car off Wednesday evening picked it up Thursday evening. Took pictures of procedure done on my car and showed me exactly what was broken. I was amazed and grateful for their honesty!! I'd recommend anyone to get work done here any time. Honest Mechanics is tough to find now in days, since most of them only want to dry your wallet out. Plainfield, NJ Edwin G."
