After I was ripped off by Lenny’s Auto Service, not too far from this place, I went to Igor’s in a pissed off mood. Even though the mechanic did not speak English very well, the woman who took care of my transactions did all the talking :) They fixed my problem, they were fair priced, and they were super nice. It was cold outside and the woman invited me in for coffee and chocolate. OMG! Living in the Sheepshead Bay area, and being one who does not identify as Eastern European or Russian, these people were NOT rude at all and they were the most helpful people I have ever met here. They were not trying to scam me like Lenny’s or make me feel incompetent about the issues with my car. I will surely take my car back to this place for small jobs like oil changes to more emergent jobs like break pads. 5THUMBSUP!!! PS– I signed up for Unilocal just to leave a comment for them. That should say something about their business.

Some people treat their Unilocal reviews like their relationships; they hand out good ratings to every Tom, Dick, and Harry of a business; and bad reviews to businesses that don’t deserve it – Igor Auto Center is one of them. As an educated consumer, I understand that businesses in NYC might be comprised of workers who may not speak English well. I guess the one star reviewer forgot to mention that. On the bright side, Igor’s English is far superior compared to his workers’, so if you’re going to speak with someone, I recommend asking for him or his assistant(not sure if he still has one). Anyway, one of the reasons I’ve used Igor in the past, is because of his passion for cars and solving problems. He is an evil genius fixing cars at a fair price. I’m sold on their work, especially when it comes with a side of Russian sarcasm(which is drier than the worst cotton mouth you’ve ever had). Tip: The best time to go is in the morning, around 8 – 9. And they are extremely busy on Saturdays.

These people are rude and ignorant, this shop should be name ‘Ignorant Igor.’ I went in today and nobody helped me, I had to walk in and nobody showed me any acknowledgment at all. I asked if they fixed ac’s and they said no. I called in and asked and they said yes and I confronted them about earlier and they said, «oh not today.» TIP: Spend your money where you will get your money’s worth, not to some ignorant Igor.
