Hum....I've been there twice since moving into
that area of Matawan and was just starting to like them....
I thought they did a good job with reasonable prices.
And they had chances to "take me to the cleaners"
The first time I went was for my NJ State Inspection
(I decided the $$$ to them was better than waiting in line
at the DOT in Eatontown).  They could of said lots of things
were wrong and needed fixing to pass but ....A clean bill of
health.  My car is 4+ years old and probably is a good
candidate for "things needing repair".
The other time I took my car in was for a 60K mile checkup
including replacing the timing belt.  Much cheaper than the dealer
(not like that says alot, the dealer is Schartz and Sons Madza)
and they didn't find anything "wrong" to repair other than
the timing belt.  My bill for the 60K checkup was almost
half of my husband'd (who went to the dealer).

Ofcourse, once you have a bad expeirnce, no one will
change your mind.  I seemed to have lots of problems
with Herbie's in Lincroft when I first moved here 6 yrs ago.
Seems like everyone else liked them.  After a spark plug
problem, which I had another mechanic check out, I went
back there, told them what the other mechanic said, requested
they fix it and after a 10 minute scalding about the other
mechanic's inexperience/inability was told 
never to come there again.  So I didn't.
