Getting your car fixed shouldn't feel like a negotiation.

Carlos Repair @ Ridge is a brand-new, independent auto shop at 264 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn 11215. We opened for one reason: getting your car fixed shouldn't feel like a negotiation you can't win.

We're new to the block, and we plan to earn our reputation one car at a time. Walk in, call ahead, or text us a photo of the warning light. You'll talk to the mechanic who'll actually be under your car.

Every job starts the same way

  1. We find the root cause

    Before we replace a single part. A code tells us where to look, not what to buy.

  2. You get it in writing

    An itemized estimate, with photos of anything that's worn or failed. You see what we see.

  3. You say yes, or you don't

    Nothing gets done without your okay. If the price changes, you hear from us first.

  4. We fix it, and stand behind it

    Parts and labor are under warranty, with the term printed right on your invoice.

What we fix

Most makes and models, foreign and domestic. Don't see your problem here? Call and describe it. We'll tell you straight whether we're the right shop.

  • Diagnostics & check-engine light

    We find the actual cause, not just the code. You get a clear explanation and a written estimate before any repair begins.

  • Brake repair

    Pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid. We show you the worn parts and fix what's unsafe first, so you only pay for what the car needs.

  • Oil changes & fluid service

    Quick, clean oil and filter changes plus coolant, transmission, and brake fluid service to keep your engine healthy.

  • Tune-ups & preventive maintenance

    Spark plugs, belts, filters, and inspections that catch small problems before they turn into expensive ones.

  • Suspension, steering & tires

    Shocks, struts, alignments, and tire service for a smooth ride on Brooklyn's potholes and cobblestones.

  • Battery, starting & electrical

    Dead battery, slow crank, or flickering lights? We test the system, find the fault, and get you moving again.

  • Pre-inspection & pre-trip checkups

    A thorough once-over before inspection season or a road trip, with a straightforward list of what to fix now and what can wait.

We're new, so we won't make up reviews.

Be one of our first customers, and tell your neighbors how we did.

As real reviews come in, they'll show up here with a first name, a neighborhood, and the repair we did. Until then, the only thing we can promise is the way we work.

Your review goes here.

First name, neighborhood, repair

So does your neighbor's.

Park Slope? Gowanus? Carroll Gardens?

We'd rather earn these than write them.
