"Duane always goes the extra mile to fix your problem, takes the time to talk to you and makes you feel like your dealing with a friend. Does what needs to be done only and his prices are fair."

"Duane's service is great and his prices are fair. I work in Manhattan so I really appreciate that he is so accommodating by picking up my car and returning it to me when he is done."

"Highland Park Automotive is an awesome place. A friend recommended this place to me, for taking care of my 2004 Mazda 3s. They do a very good job, at a reasonable price. Oil change and filter change is $38. They even squeezed me into the schedule the same day I called. Outstanding customer service.

Once I came in with a check engine light on, and they took a long time to figure out the problem. In the end it turned out to be a minor problem, but they still wouldn't charge much. Before running any major diagnostics or repairing anything, they call you and transparently consult you. The owner is not much of a talker, but that does not matter, because they did a great job. I would definitely recommend this place."

"It was such a pleasure to do business with Duane. Very,very thorough and professional. The shop was clean and comfortable. Best of all he gave us a total emailed and printed report on our newly purchased 2005 Volvo. Not once did I doubt the integrity of the work done by Duane on my car.. I find mechanics in general to be deceptive, but didn't sense this at all at Highland Park Automotive. I highly recommend this shop."

"Duane is the most knowledgeable and up-front repair tech that I've dealt with in recent memory and I fully trust taking my older car to him. HP Auto is very thorough in their explanations of what repairs need to be done and why, and will discuss the possibility of future repairs or what needs to be watched out for. They fully stand behind the work they do and the parts they source. "

"Duane Beers is a great mechanic. He is prompt, honest, and reliable. He has worked on several of my cars, over several years, and always did fine work. He has fit me in without an appointment when I have broken down and been very kind and caring. The only place I take my cars."

"I have come here twice and both times, the owner has been kind and honest. Today I had a nail in my tire. He came out to my car, looked at it right away and took the nail out after inspecting it and making sure it wasn't going to cause a flat, no charge. The first time I came in to highland park automotive, I brought my car in for a big job, as it was overheating and leaking. After the diagnostics, he was very upfront about the charges and issues. Would highly recommend."

"My car had some minor issues (wipers crossing, hood not opening) and I wasn't too sure how to fix them. I ran a quick Google search for good mechanics and Highland Park Automative popped up. So I brought it right over. The kind gentleman at the front desk (I wish I asked for his name) came out immediately, and took care of everything within minutes. I now have working wipers and a hood that opens properly. This has been the best auto service I've ever received, hands down. All for a good price too :). I will be telling my friends about this place and getting my car serviced here from now on. Thank you!!!"

"GO HERE!! Honestly, so great. Duane was able to pick out the problems with my car and give me the best price and best way to make the payments. He worked with me and my family and gave me the best advice that I really think other mechanics would not. If you have to get your car fixed or looked at and live in the New Brunswick/Highland Park/Edison Area, go to Highland Park Automotive. It will be the best decision you make!!!!! "

"Bring your vehicle to Highland Park Automotive and you can be 100% confident in the excellent service you will receive!! I brought my car there twice, and both times Duane very clearly explained the repairs that were required and which ones should be a priority. Then after getting my feedback, the shop performed the repairs quickly and followed up afterward. Highland Park Automotive is respectful, professional, efficient, and easily the best auto repair shop I have ever been to. If I still lived ANYWHERE in central New Jersey, I would continue to bring my car there."

"I went to Highland Park Automotive today for the first time because my car began stalling several months ago and the problem has increased in frequency. Duane was my point of contact and he was great! They found a damaged pump that needed to be replaced (very reasonable price). I really appreciated that they did not try to sell me products or services that I did not need. I will definitely go back to Highland Park Automotive next time my car needs servicing. Thanks!"

"Great service!!! I was having trouble with my car and tried different places, including the dealership. In fact the dealership told me that I need to spend over a over 1000$ to repair and there was no guarantee that the problem will be solve. I was about to give up when I read the reviews About Highland Park Automotive. I was curious if this place will be able to find the problem on my car. HE DID IT!!! and he left my car running like a brand new!!!!! Duane was a genius and the price was excellent!!! He was very honest and upfront all the time. My car was fixed next day :) I would recommend this shop to anyone, specially because I was a woman and I was treated with respect and honesty. Love this place! thank you Duane."

"I highly recommend this shop. Before any work was performed I has given a detailed price breakdown of everything that was to be fixed. The work was completed very quick. I had no problems at all. I will come here for every car related problem from now on. Everyone at Highland Park Automotive is super professional."

"Duane and crew do great work at a good price. I have never been disappointed with any repair. The shop was recommended to me by a neighbor when I first moved here, and I have been going to them ever since. Very trustworthy. I highly recommend. Duane gives you an estimate and will tell you what is urgent and what can wait a while. I appreciate that. They often call after a repair just to make sure all is working well. "

"I just moved to the Highland Park area recently and my car needed routine maintenance. Normally going to an auto service center isn't fun for me, I've had guys try to con me into thinking my engine was broken (when it wasn't), be overly flirtatious, overcharge me for simple things, and similar events on more than one occasion (perhaps because I'm a petite, girly-looking woman?). Well, I went to HP automotive today (just got back, actually) and Duane was quite friendly and honest, charged what I consider to be a reasonable price, and even offered to come pick me up so I wouldn't have to walk back. Not what I was expecting at all, and I am definitely coming back next time my car needs anything!"

"Great place! I called them because my car unexpectedly died and they were very accommodating and got me in the same day. Duane was very personable and took the time to explain what was wrong and how much everything would cost. I found the price to be quite reasonable and he even managed to get it fixed by the next afternoon! Would highly recommend. "

"We keep going back to HP Automotive because HP Automotive's assessments are always safety oriented and balanced to be cost considerate. Discussions of maintenance are always thoughtful, taking into account our personal driving habits for commuting and pleasure until the next service date. This also helps balance the expenses of maintenance out over time, which confirms that HP Automotive wants a long term relationship with its customers through many vehicle life cycles."
