On my way to catch the 6 AM ferry to Manhattan for the TD 5 Boro Bike RIde, my car suffered a unexpected major breakdown. I was able to glide into one of the last on street parking spots. Knowing that there was nothing I could do that early on a Sunday, I did the 40 miles before heading back to deal with the car. Lisa E. did some research for me and my options were to have the car towed back to Long Island to my mechanic or as scary as that seems, take a leap of faith on YELP reviews and use a local repair shop. I called AAA for a tow to Island and it turns out that they own the towing service too! The operator was very skillful and careful in getting my car out of a tight spot and then towing up and down the hilly side streets, as the main road was blocked for bicyclists returning from Fort Wadsworth to the ferry. I left the car, thinking that it was the transmission. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was "only a broken front axle". While on the lift, they identified a few other items that needed attention, all I was aware of , which I had been putting off. After talking with Dan on the phone, I could tell that he was honest and fair and agreed to the additional items. Dan even made an exception to storing my car until the weekend no charge, relieving me of the hassle of trying to make the 50 mile drive mid-week. My car is running fine and the repair cost was extremely reasonable. Bottom line: Honest, efficient and personable service. Owner (thank you again Dan)who really cares for his customers. If you live in SI, I highly recommend Island Car Care for AAA approved towing and service. Bonus: YELP check-in discount on major repairs!
