Thank you Mitchell! 
We just got our car (a '99 Honda CRV) back today; my husband and I had brought it to 3 other garages, including the dealer, and nobody knew how to deal with the litany of problems we were having with it. The first place wanted to do an engine rebuild, and the dealer just threw parts at the problem, did unnecessary repairs and charged through the roof. Not only did Mitchell and his crew fix the car (which is now driving PERFECTLY), but he also explained everything that he and his crew had done, and even took photos of the process.
Mitchell has all of the qualities you would want in a surgeon, a chef, or a mechanic. He is passionate and intelligent about his work, he communicates well, and he listens. I can't recommend him enough!

Best experience with a mechanic in a long time 
I brought my 2004 Volvo S80 to have it checked for what I thought might be a problem with my brakes. Based on the reviews I had seen I decided to visit Mitchell. His place was smaller than I expected but the service was world class. We test drove to listen for the sound, he put it up on the lift, checked all four wheels, placed grease on the suspected area where there might be rub, told me I had enough life on all until my 60,000 checkup (I'm at 57,000) and checked what would be needed for my 60,000. I stayed for a good half hour and he charged me nothing but a handshake. My local dealer would have guaranteed charged me $200.00 and given me an estimate for everything they 'found'. Mitchell is a class act and I will recommend him to anyone willing to travel to Brooklyn for great service.

Like a surrogate dad for my daughter's car! 
Mitchell took amazing care of my daughter's car! She is a student in Brooklyn, we live in Atlanta. He spent a lengthy long distance call explaining everything to me, and spent equal time explaining to her what she was paying for! It was like having a surrogate dad help her out so far from home! Mitchell is the absolute best! Great work, fair price, excellent treatment!

Happy patient
I hate going to the doctor, as well as to a mechanic. When the window on my minivan was not working, and there was a banging noise when pressing on my brakes, I really had no choice but to take the car in. After researching for best auto repair service, it narrowed down to Mitchell's Auto Repair. I have to say that Mitchell's personalized service made a dreary experience - well, not so bad. The window part was ordered, fixed and now works great. The banging noise wasn't the brakes at all, and when they put the car on the lift and showed me the broken piece, I was glad that I wouldn't drive around in a dangerous vehicle anymore. That was also fixed right away, and my car feels like new again. From here on, I will always go to Mitchell's Auto Repair for my car, now if I can only find a doctor as good- for myself.
Pros: Very happy with purchase! A+++

Mitchell is just the best!
My daughter is in college in Brooklyn, and we live in Atlanta. He took care of my daughter's car like a surrogate dad! He spent all the time needed talking to me long distance so I felt like I really knew what was going on, as well as explaining things to her so that she truly understood what she was paying for. I cannot express how much that means - knowing her car and safety is in good hands and a father's watchful eye so far from home! Mitchell is just the best!
Pros: Fast, totally efficient, on time, no surprises except good ones!
Cons: Absolutely NONE!

Independent Volvo Repair--The best around!
I was very very happy to be referred to Mitchell's Auto Repair. I felt taken care of, not cheated, and told honestly what was going on with my car. He fixed my car as needed, and no more. He told me there was more that could and should be done, but that it wasn't necessary which allowed me to make a decision based on my budget, yet feel that I was safe.
He's a great guy, and not out to take advantage of people. He'll fix your car correctly and not do more than needs to be done.
I highly recommend Mitchell's.
