New York Auto of L.I.C Inc

Long Island City’s industrial edges feel like a second home if you own a car. New York Auto of L.I.C Inc sits on 38th Ave where the warehouses thin and the sidewalks pick up a few more pedestrians. The shop handles the basics—oil changes, brake checks, and whatever else keeps engines humming without fanfare. When the dipstick shows low or the dashboard lights up, you can swing by 21-10 38th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 or ring (718) 729-7788 to slot in an appointment.

Auto repair in this pocket of Queens rarely comes with frills, and that’s fine—most people just want the job done. If you’re mapping the route, pull up directions before you leave so you don’t miss the turn off Vernon Boulevard. The block is easy to overlook, but the sign is clear once you’re close.
