About This Shop

KNR AutoRepairs is a long-standing, family-owned auto repair shop that has been a cornerstone of the Long Island City community for over three decades. Founded and operated by Rickford Dhoman, a professional mechanic in the area for 35 years, the shop has built a loyal following based on trust, honesty, and reliable service. The team, which includes members of Rick's family, is known for its welcoming atmosphere and deep community roots. Specializing in a comprehensive range of services, KNR AutoRepairs handles everything from routine maintenance like oil changes and NYS inspections to complex jobs including engine and transmission overhauls, autobody work, and painting. Their extensive experience covers all types of vehicles, a skill honed from Rick's early days servicing the city's taxi fleet. Customers consistently praise the shop for its fair pricing and for providing straightforward, high-quality work without upselling. Currently, KNR AutoRepairs faces a significant challenge. After decades at their 5th Street location, the building has been sold to developers, and the business must relocate. Despite this uncertainty, the owner's goal is to find a new space and continue serving the community that has supported them for years, carrying on their legacy of dependable and personal auto care.
