My wife and I decided to use your services since the vehicles at my work are well maintained by your company. My wife had most of the interaction with your staff. She had nothing but great things to say about the friendliness of everyone from the front office to the mechanics working on her van. The scheduling for service was easy and was kept by your staff unlike some experiences we have had elsewhere. The communication of the issues that needed repair was put into terms that my wife could understand (as she is not a mechanic). Some of the issues only required some adjustments and not part replacements. This allowed us to know that you value our best interest and business over just selling us parts that we didn't need. Thank you for your great work, honesty, and personal touch on our experience with your company. We will certainly continue our relationship with your great business.

At Van Meter Auto Repair in Van Meter Auto Repair, we’re here to make sure your car, truck, or SUV stops as it should.

If you drive a Jaguar, BMW, Land Rover, Porsche, Subaru, or other luxury or performance vehicle, the last thing you want to do is start your engine to be met with the sound of a screeching drive belt. Fortunately, we at Van Meter Auto Repair in Mantua, NJ have you covered.
