Beloved Hillsborough, NJ Auto Shop Saying Goodbye After 4 Decades
You Have To Have A Good Local Mechanic In NJ
It's good to have a mechanic that you trust, especially if your knowledge of cars doesn't extend much further than "key into ignition, hit the gas". I'll always shout out JP's Auto in Ocean Gate. I drive a 15-year-old car with 200,000 miles on it, and have been told by other mechanics the car is unfixable. JP's has always been able to come up with a solution to keep my baby running, and also didn't break the bank.

And nothing against those bigger chain mechanics; when I need 4 new tires, odds are I'm going to Mavis because I have a coupon, but when it comes to having someone really work on your car, I'm always going with the little shop at the end of my street.
