on Judys Book Apr 29, 2011I've been close with a number of mechanics in the past, mostly due to cars that I've owned and their need for specialized care. I really stumbled across FPM randomly - they happen to also be close to my house - and have had... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 12, 2011Eli's Fresh Pond Mobil did a superior, speedy "pit stop quality" job fixing my car. I really don't think that his business would have expanded to the extent that is had by "ripping people off." The harsh reality is that... (more)

on Judys Book Dec 30, 2010I gave them the quick scoop, and then went home. Monday morning, Elie gave me a call and told me I needed a new transmission. OK, I knew that. But then he gave me three options at three different prices all which were below... (more)
