Simply the best of the best. I brought my car to several mechanics and they couldn't resolve my check engine light issue but Paul and his team were able to find and fix the issue the first time. Paul is a great mechanic: humble, attentive, considerate, detailed with his work, and thorough with any issues you're having with your car. Just the best.

Excellent customer service and service. I saved over three thousand dollars because of their honesty. The convenience of the secure after hours drop off and pick-up is an added convenience. Many thanks to you all! Service: General repairs & maintenance

I am a believer in "you get what you pay for". I had what I consider to be a more technical diagnosis and repair needed on my car. Although I paid more than I would have at my regular mechanic, in this case, I felt it was justified. They are very professional. Service: Transmission repair

So an update here - as mentioned in my previous review, I am a youtube trained mechanic. My 2016 WRX air conditioning died on me. I did what I knew how to do, replaced o rings, recharged it etc, and that kept it going a little longer, but eventually it just went kaputski. Call early on a Thursday morning to say that I want to bring the car in, but need it back in time to take a road trip next week.
Drop off 8am. By 9am I have a diagnosis. It's a bad diagnosis, but it's accurate - my compressor died. They get the part and have it done and ready for pickup by 12:30 the same day. Is their rate a little higher than some other shops? Sure. But you can have your choice of two of the three: cheap, fast, good. These guys are fast and good. I can't sing these folks praises enough - and as someone who loves my car, I do not trust it to many places preferring to do maintenance and simple fixes myself. Gary and his team are amazing.

All the five star reviews here are true. They treat you like family when you walk the door. Took me in as a last minute oil change and ran me through exactly what will be done with the car and answered all of my questions clearly. But best of all is the efficiency and professionalism of the establishment. When you leave your car with them in confident you'll feel it is in good hands.

Moving from my previous mechanic in Morristown I was very picky for who I would be bringing my car to next; finding a mechanic you can trust nowadays is tough. I can happily say that each time I've been to Bridgewater Motorworks (I believe ~4 different times now) each experience has been fantastic and I've been blown away by their quality of service. The team there is professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to even if you aren't "mechanically inclined." If you're on the fence then give them a try with an oil change and you'll see what all the hype is :)
