“I've been a loyal customer at Eli Auto for years, driving all the way from NYC because the quality and integrity here are simply unmatched… The glass on my side mirror popped out, and I expected the usual upsell. Instead, Yoram took a quick look, fixed it in just a few minutes, and with complete honesty told me there was no need for an expensive replacement.”

“I came in not knowing a single thing about how to take care of my car. They went over everything with me and explained what needed to be dealt with immediately and what could wait.”

Olivia F.Google review

“Yoram and his son, Adam, took the time to clearly explain what my vehicle needed… and treated my classic 1997 BMW Z3 as if it were their own.”

A family shop on Cedar Lane

Eli Auto Service has been fixing cars in Teaneck for more than 25 years. It's run by Yoram Katan, with his son Adam now working alongside him. Customers come back because they get straight answers: what's wrong, what it costs, and whether it really needs doing.

The shop sits at 618 Cedar Lane, across from the firehouse. Ask around Teaneck for a mechanic and this is the name people give.

“I won't work on Shabbos, I have never worked on Shabbos and I will not gain any benefit from working on Shabbos.”
Yoram Katan, in The Jewish Link, 2013. The shop is closed every Saturday.
