Northeast installed new front axles & new front & rear sway links on my 2001 Altima at a price significantly less than what the dealer wanted. I've since given the Altima to my son because I bought a 2007 Nissan Frontier pickup which I will take to Northeast Automotive when it needs service. My son had his 1999 Infinity I30 serviced at Northeast until he sold it recently after I gave him my Altima. I'm sure he'll have his Altima serviced at Northeast as needed.

Featured review - Car runs Great Looks Great (thank you) Air is nice to enjoy again Great job to all of you. Have another appt for Tue for more work Its nice to have a repair shop close buy that I can trust

Verified customer - I appreciated the shop taking my car on short notice and completing the work in a timely and efficient manner.

Verified customer - Thank you for your attention to detail!

Verified customer - They were very professional, helpful and went out of their way to make my car situation as convenient and as positive as possible!!!!

Verified customer - Unexpected problems with the vehicle were dealt immediately and I did not have to schedule an appointment for a later day.

Verified customer - Amazing Amazing job

Verified customer - Staff was friendly and courteous. Work was done on time as stated.

Verified customer - I found it super helpful that loaner cars are available. It makes having a vehicle in the shop much less painful!!

Verified customer - I fully trust you to do the job where many places will take advantage of women when they bring their car in for work. I feel you treated me very well, And thanks for the clean windows and vacumning the car. It was a oleasure and will recommend you highly THANKS AGAIN job well done -Geri

Verified customer - I was told by a Nissan dealer that my 2001 Altima needed both axles replaced as well as the rear sway links and quoted me a price of $660 to have the work done. Cliff of Northeast Automotive told me he'd do the same job for about $550 so I left my car there and later got a call telling me the front sway links were bad too which did not surprise me. I had them do both front and rear sway links in addiction to both axles and the total charge was only $649, still less than what the dealer wanted for only the rear sway links and both axles. Car drives fine now and should be good for another few years despite having 140,000 miles on it. Best car I've ever owned. My son also has his 1999 Infinity I30T serviced by Northeast Automotive and recommended them to me.

Verified customer - I took my car in for two different noise issues. They were able to find out the problems in no time. One was somewhat costly, but the owner didn't hesitate to let me know that the other issue was not a safety issue and recommended that since I am a college student, I don't need to drop $200 to just fix a noise. I really appreciated the honesty. This was the 3rd or 4th time I've taken my car here and I really like the friendliness and prompt service.

Verified customer - Work done on time; at estimated amount and w/o surprizes; NE Auto is our trusted source for all our auto repair.

Verified customer - They were very helpful and courteous.

Verified customer - As usual an excellent job and the loaner really made it convenient for us!

Verified customer - Both of us well satisfied with the service and repairs

Verified customer - Dropped my car off @ 7:30 am without an appointment and it was done by 4:30 the same day. They were able to diagnose the problem with the car, fixed it and also changed the transmission fluid. Cliff and Paula are very polite, they explain what the problem is and what needs to be done to correct it. Thanks for the great service. I hope I don't have any more problems with my car but if I do, I know where to go.

Verified customer - Friendly, professional service and priced fair and square. I will definitely trust them again for auto service.

Verified customer - Northeast is accommodating and interested in providing the best value they can. Options are fully explained.

Verified customer - As always repairs appear supurb but I might now have a small radiator leak. I am seeing small puddles when stop then move and I had to refill the overflow jug because it was empty and I haven't checked it since, You know me I rarely go anywhere. purchased radiator from you in March or April this year. Not sure where leak is yet and I'm not crawling under it when it running to find out I will see you next month - small can of sealant should fix this - Minor issue to me! Have a Happy Halloween! Michael Mosher Sr.

Verified customer - Always fair prices and clear, honest explanation of the services needed. We always call them first when our vehicles need work. Thanks Cliff!

Verified customer - Cliff talked me through the options. We settled on a solution that would minimize the chance of damaging the surrounding parts on my old car.

Verified customer - I called them after having been referred by a friend. They were more friendly than any repair facility I have ever been to. Very professional work and I haven't ever been this happy with new brakes. They also stand behind their work and are honest with you.

Verified customer - We were able to get both of our vehicles in for oil changes on very short notice. Both cars were taken at the appointed time and the work was completed in a very timely and professional manner.
