NEW CITY LINK AUTO

New City Link Auto (also operating as New City Link Auto Repair Inc and New City Link Auto Body & Repair) was an automotive repair and collision service provider situated at 783 McDonald Avenue in the Kensington section of Brooklyn, New York. Serving motorists across central Brooklyn, the shop historically handled a broad range of automotive needs, including routine maintenance, powertrain troubleshooting, computer diagnostics, brake servicing, and comprehensive collision and body repairs.

In addition to general mechanical repairs, the facility served as a licensed New York State Department of Motor Vehicles inspection station, conducting hundreds of annual state safety and emissions checks for neighborhood drivers. The business was formerly connected with an earlier repair shop property nearby at 545–547 Coney Island Avenue, which entered New York State's Brownfield Cleanup Program and was subsequently cleared for mixed-use residential development.

In February 2026, the 783 McDonald Avenue facility was severely impacted by a two-alarm fire that swept through the two-story commercial structure and summoned over 140 emergency personnel. Following the incident and subsequent property listings on commercial real estate channels, the facility is no longer operating active repair bays. Drivers in Kensington and Borough Park are advised to seek alternative local garages for their vehicle maintenance and safety inspection requirements.
