Reading the scorecard

Every number comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against other Queens repair shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so 4.5 from hundreds of drivers counts for more than 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently reviews keep arriving. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does car repair cost in Queens?

Repair bills depend on the make, the part, labor time and whether a diagnosis comes first, so there’s no single Queens price to quote. The one figure any shop here publishes is Vick Auto Repair’s computerized diagnostic, listed on its site at $125. Ask every shop for a written estimate and a spending limit before work starts.
