Default ***104th st auto saved my car!***

i've been MIA for a while now, ended up giving up on my car since last year of october when my starter went out. well i got sick and tired of seein a good car sittin dead for so long so i decided to do something i shoulda done a long time ago, taken the car to Gazi's brothers shop: Gazy at 104th St auto. it only took him two days and he not only replaced the starter, i got a full tune up with top notch spark plugs, new batt terminals with new battery, distributor seals re-sealed, as well as some other stuff im forgetting...Gazy really took in my car as his own, and kept it safe in the garage the whole time, and called me continously to keep me updated, instead of the other way around which is at most other garages. i regret not going to him earlier, the distance was well worth it i know 104th st auto has been praised many other times, but i decided to share my story as well. hope to see some of you soon... i plan on only making sure this car stays running strong!

Its on the corner of 104th Street (left side of street) just south of Jamaica Ave. in Queens. As you turn south onto 104th from Jamaica Ave, you will see it about 3-4 store fronts down on left.

*** I never really had to know the address, I just know where it is.

It's good to see someone reliable in the area.

Maybe I should take my Mustang to him..

Should I just say I'm a CL member? Thanks

Gazi installed my Daizen bushings on my GS, a very difficult install.

He installed them at a great price, and it was quality work.

HIGHLY recommended in the NYC area...and I drove from MD for my install.
