If I could post 0 stars, I would. Over priced. No compassion. They don't responsibly take care of your property. Unfortunately my hands were tied (like most others, because there is apparently some politics going on there) and I had to use them. Given a choice I would have chosen any other service on the planet. If you are fortunate enough to have a choice, go anywhere else. I wouldn't recomend this place to my worst enemy. Thanks for nothing ...read more

At this point it's not even about the money anymore it's about being a decent human being. this is an example of abuse of power and what is wrong with our society. I don't blame the people this owner employs i blame the people who make the policies that don't have to look into the eyes of the people they rip off everyday...\t\n\t\nI broke down on the NJ Turpk., my windshield wipers stopped working & it was pouring out. The tow truck arrived and had to tow me to his shop (NJ law). I'm not familiar with the area or mechanics. I spoke to the women at George's Garage, explained my situation & that it could just be a link & I could possibly get it back home in order to prevent AAA from having to come out. (I don't pay for the tow so it was at no expense to me) I saw them bring my car into the garage for a total of 10 min. They said a part needed to be replaced & it may take a few days bc he had to order it from the dealership. I thought well I can't have my car out here for a few days. Then they gave me a bill for $85. I was more than disheartened/shocked. I work very hard & know when someone is ripping me off. I asked the women/mechanic, very calmly, how could you charge me $85 for 10min? There was an uncomfortable answer(I'm sure this isn't the first time they have gotten this ?. They knew in their heart it wasn't right) I brought the car to my mechanic, he looked at the car, ordered the part & fixed it in 2 hours. Part $16-total bill $65. I called George's they of course had no sympathy. I explained I don't mind paying for their time but $85 for 10 min for job that was done fast/$65 how is this honest & good business?! They had nothing to say but they know they ripped me off. I think its a shame that when your broken down in torrential downpours & get towed by Turnpike certified trucks, you get brought to a place like this. I would have let them fix it,had the guy said we can get the part and do it for you (COULD YOU IMAGINE WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE CHARGED?). The service I received is not caring for your customers & not good business. This was a matter of a 10 min look under my hood. There are good honest shops that would have charged me a fair rate for their 10 min of time, especially if I had called them back to explain the situation. I am positive that i am not the only one who has been ripped off by George & think people that make money this way are just legal thieves. Bad Karma being spread on that corner\t\n ...read more

Many transport trailers are furnished with electric brake shoes. These are located inside the tow vehicle. Once you press down on the pedal, the controller triggers a magnet which moves the brake shoe until they press against the brake drum. ...read more
