STS Tire & Auto Centers

Thank you Phil for helping me out with my Grand am GT when the engine went. No one else out 30 years would have done what you did for me truly appreciate it. This by far the best auto repair shop ever!!! A great team at STS.

Just got home from my visit to the STS in Highland Park/​Edison. Got fast and excellent service from Phil and his mechanics. They were friendly and honest, and they have great prices. I will definitely continue to have my car serviced by them. Keep up the good work!

My son took
His car here (for a wheel alignment)
I swear they fixed what ever was wrong with the car, but messed something else up on the car on purpose .The car came back
With a noise .I drove the car before
He took it there and when he picked it up
Defiantly something was off .
A car should not make
Noise after a wheel alignment.
I don’t trust this company
Be ware !!!
From personal experience

Never go to this place. I went in for muffler issues and they fixed it. They also suggested I get two new tires. I asked for a quote on the tires thinking I would shop around a bit. I called 5 other places and they all have tire quotes significantly less expensive. That includes the install and other fees. So I took the car to a different garage to get the tires on and they explained how the way my muffler was installed was shocking. The new garage said they could tell it was all newly installed but felt it was done by someone with out any experience and it would all have to be replaced. So the new garage suggested I go back to STS auto and demand a real mechanic fix it. When I called to talk with the STS auto shop they were rude, constantly interrupting and explained it could have been from driving it and they are not responsible. Then the clerk put me on hold and the hold music talked about the 12 month guarantee on all parts. This was just installed 3 weeks ago and the clerk was acting like he would help with nothing so any guarantee from them is worthless.
Overall they can’t even help with a fair price on tires and that’s in the company name so they are worthless. Stay far away.

This review is only for the OIL CHANGE service they provide.
I actually went to PepBoys in Edison and they were booked solid. The next available appointment was in two days. So I left and on the way home decided to try STS.
Unlike the crowded PepBoys waiting room, there wasn’t anyone there. I was in and out in 40 minutes. They gave me their promotional price of $ 24.95 (reg. $ 34.95) without having to ask for it! It also came with a courtesy check… but they were wrong about all my tires PSI… so I am not sure how accurate their check is…
5 stars if they keep their promotional rate and fix their courtesy checks… but all in all, I would go again, no other complaints.

I decided to try STS for an oil change and regular maintenance after I used them to fix a tire and the experience was great.
The service on my car was done fast and the price was appropriate.
While I was in the waiting room, a customer came in and was trying not to pay for work he had done. He was a very annoying customer. I was amazed at how well STS staff dealt with the customer. The STS employee (maybe assistant manager) was professional and patient while the customer was not. It is rare to see such great customer service. Way to go STS in Highland Park/​Edison.

I love the people here. Friendly and HONEST!
I had horrible issues with my Hyundai dealership TWICE, and then found STS.
First, I had a window replaced and when I picked up my car, no one said to not use the window immediately. So I used it and eventually it stopped working. Made this terribly sad sound when going down and would get stuck. Dealership said they wouldn’t even look at it without $ 90.00– this was weeks after I had the work done… total BS! I took it to this STS and turned out the glue hadn’t set and that’s why window wasn’t working properly. They took the door apart TWICE– First to diagnose, then to fix the window and charged me about $ 100.00. Much cheaper and much less hassle than the dealership.
I stopped in here recently after another dealership nightmare where I needed some brake pads and wipers after a routine recall issue. Took car right from the dealership to STS and turned out the dealership left a hammer under the hood. STS did my brake service for so much less and I spoke to Frank, one of the mechanics, for about 20 minutes and he was great. Super honest, explained things as we stood by my car and took the time to point out maintenance steps in the future.
I will always come here for routine oil changes and services.

Professional, quick, and friendly. I’ve been here twice an there was only a short wait (like 20 mins) before they started servicing my car.

I had gone here once to patch a tire and the one guy was really helpful, $ 28 or so and I was happy. I figured after this one good experience I would go back for my oil change, $ 30 not bad. I was told 45 minutes well that turned into A LOT longer and I got a phone call saying that my oil was dirty and black, um hello but I’m not sure if you knew this already it’s dark that’s what oil is. He asked if I wanted it to be flushed and it would be $ 15, sure that’s not a lot of money. When I got back he told me my total was $ 95! FOR WHAT?! Oh the flush was $ 59 not $ 15??? Are you kidding me?! I would NEVER EVER in my life pay that much money for something so stupid. I could spare $ 15 but it was ridiculous. I was furious and the guy had an accent so it was already hard enough to understand him.
I will never ever ever go back to this place ever again.
Rude. Incompetent. And just not worth the time or money.

Bought four tires there this year that included a warranty. Had those tires aligned. Got a flat in one of those tires and brought it in to be fixed. AND THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT «LOOKING AT THE CAR, IT SEEMS TO NEED AN ALIGNMENT.»
As soon as I pointed out that they had aligned the tires not three months earlier, they apologized for calling. BUT DID NOT APOLOGIZE FOR TRYING TO TELL ME I NEEDED A SERVICE THAT I CLEARLY DID NOT NEED.
Will never go back and am now re-​assessing every visit I have ever made there.

I’m a helpless buffoon when it comes to car maintenance. I can tell you when something goes wrong, but as far as fixing it goes? Psh, not on your life. And now that I live so far from my mechanic (aka: my brother), I’ll drag my feet as long as humanly possible to avoid having to deal with a new service center.
I needed a standard oil change a couple months ago and kept putting it off and putting it off until like magic, a coupon from STS came in the mail for a FREE oil change with the subtext reading, «Welcome to the neighborhood!» Too good to be true? Nope! They were super nice and took care of my car in no time, never even trying to upsell me on higher grade oils or filters like most places do.
Having that positive taste already, when I got a flat tire they were the first place I thought of to get a patch done. I called them up to make sure they were open (holiday hours can make Highland Park seem like a ghost town), and they were just as friendly as I’d remembered, advising me to wait about 45 minutes before coming over since there were a few cars already waiting and one of the guys was out to lunch. Thanks for letting me hang out in my living room instead of your waiting area :) Unfortunately they weren’t able to patch my tire because of the location of the puncture, but they gave me a small discount on a new one and had me out the door in under an hour.
Only downside? They weren’t as thorough as I would have liked (I think the air is lower in the old tires than the new one, meaning I’m going to have to do a little servicing on my own), but they were still personable, professional, and affordable. I’ll definitely be back.
