Owner Tom Stuart runs a very tight ship - they are always
busy and service is quick, efficient and thorough. During
the week you can pick your car up until 10pm, as it also a
gas station and has an attendant on duty. It can be
extremely difficult to find a reliable repair shop,
especially when you know very little about cars yourself,
but I have had nothing but good experiences with this shop.

This is not Tom Stuart's place any more!
Tom Stuart sold this gas station in 2011 after 30+ years in this location and has moved to Columbus Ave. in Valhalla about 2 miles away.
The folks now at this Hillside Ave/Virginia Rd location are NEW owners and I do not recommend them! I asked where Tom had moved to and they refused to tell me.
Tom is HIGHLY recommended. I've used him for inspections, oil changes and a variety of repairs, including axle replacements, brake work and engine diagnostics & repair and he is very solid, honest and appropriate always with charging. I've been using him for over 20 years and will continue.
