Contact
The quickest way to get an answer is a phone call. Tell us what happened to the car and we'll tell you the next step — usually, bring it in so we can take a look. We're open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, from 8 in the morning until 6 at night.
Close to Communipaw Avenue and JFK Boulevard, a few minutes from Bergen-Lafayette, the West Side, McGinley Square, Greenville and Journal Square.
Finding us
We're at 15 Tyson Lane, Jersey City, NJ 07304. Tyson Lane is a short street close to Communipaw Avenue and JFK Boulevard, so from most of the city the easiest route is to get onto one of those two and follow your GPS for the last couple of turns. Searching "Tyson Auto Repair and Body Shop" in Google Maps brings you to the right spot.
Coming from nearby neighborhoods: from Journal Square or McGinley Square, head south on JFK Boulevard; from Greenville, head north on JFK Boulevard; from the West Side, take Communipaw Avenue east. Bergen-Lafayette drivers are only a few blocks away. If it's your first visit and you aren't sure where to leave the car when you arrive, call (551) 242-3332 on the way and we'll point you in.
Dropping the car off for the day? Communipaw Avenue and JFK Boulevard both carry city bus routes, which makes it easier to drop the car in the morning and get to work without a second driver. Let us know the best number to reach you, and we'll call when it's ready.
Why call ahead? Some days the bays are full of body work, and some parts have to be ordered in. A quick call lets us tell you the best time to come and whether we'll need the car overnight, so nobody's day gets wasted.
Before you come
A phone number where we can reach you during the day, so questions about the repair don't hold the job up.
For body work, photos taken right after the accident help us see what happened. Snap them before anything gets moved or taped.
When it happens, which side it comes from, and whether it's over bumps, when turning or when braking. It helps us find it faster.
Previous repair receipts, a claim number or an accident report all help us understand the car's history and what has already been done.
Shorter jobs can sometimes be done while you wait, but body work and paint need the car for longer. Plan a ride or a bus route home just in case.
We accept credit cards, debit cards and NFC mobile payments like tap-to-pay from your phone.
When you arrive
A first visit to a new shop shouldn't feel like a mystery. Here's how it usually goes.
Someone from the crew comes out, listens to what happened and looks at the car with you. Reviewers suggest asking for Hower, and you're welcome to do the same.
We tell you what we see, what it will take to fix and roughly how long it should take. If parts need to be ordered, we say so up front.
You hear the quote and decide. Nothing gets started until you agree, and if something new turns up during the repair, we check with you first.
Quick answers
No. The shop is open Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 6 PM, and closed on Sunday.
We can talk through what you're seeing, but an accurate quote usually needs a look at the car — especially for body damage, where what's behind the panel matters. Bring it by and we'll quote it in person.

Make sure everyone is safe, take photos of the damage, and then give us a call to talk about getting the car looked at.
Yes. Oil changes are one of the most common jobs here. Calling ahead helps us fit you in, especially on busy mornings and Saturdays.
