Get To Know Us
Welcome to Black River Automotive
We’re a family-owned, locally operated shop proudly serving drivers in northern NJ. Launched in 2018 along the Black River in Roxbury and relocated to Route 46 in January 2023, our team pairs small-town care with professional workmanship on every job.
With 60+ years of combined experience, we diagnose accurately, repair correctly, and communicate clearly—so you know what your vehicle needs and why. From daily commuters to work trucks, we treat every vehicle like it’s our own.
Full-Service Repair, From Basics to Complex
From oil changes and tune-ups to tough drivability and electrical issues, we deliver accurate diagnostics and repairs you can trust. Services include brakes, suspension, alignments, tires, A/C and heating, starting/charging, engine performance, and drivetrain (transmissions, differentials, transfer cases). We also handle custom exhaust, lift kits, and clean wiring/lighting upgrades, with clear estimates and options before any work begins.
Built for Drivers and Fleets Alike
For everyday drivers, we plan maintenance around your mileage, catch issues early, and explain repairs in plain language. For fleets, we standardize service, reduce downtime, and document findings so vehicles stay safe, compliant, and on schedule. Expect responsive booking, status updates, and vehicles returned road-ready.
What We Do
Auto Services Tailored for You
Complete Car Care & Repairs in Ledgewood, NJ
Electrical Diagnostics
Our electrical diagnostic service checks your vehicle’s battery, alternator, starter, sensors, wiring, and control modules to pinpoint issues quickly and accurately. With precise testing, we eliminate the guesswork—saving you time, money, and unnecessary repairs.
Brake Repair
Our brake repair service includes replacing worn pads and rotors, fixing hydraulic issues, and inspecting the entire braking system. Timely repairs help you stop faster, prevent rotor damage, and keep your ABS system working like it should.
Suspension & Steering Repair
If your car feels rough, pulls to one side, or the steering feels off, our suspension and steering service can help. We repair or replace shocks, struts, tie rods, and ball joints to restore smooth handling, extend tire life, and keep you safe on the road.
Drivetrain Repair
Your drivetrain is what keeps power moving from the engine to the wheels. We service transmissions, differentials, transfer cases, axles, and joints—addressing leaks, worn bearings, and other issues before they lead to major failures.
