Serving Clifton, Franklin, Hawthorne, Lodi & Newton, NJ
Multiple Locations to Serve You
Your closest KRP Automotive Repair is the Hawthorne shop at 805 Lafayette Ave, Hawthorne, NJ 07506, about 8 minutes from Franklin Lakes. The Clifton shop is about 18 minutes. The same mechanics, the same lifetime warranty on most repairs, and the same written estimate before any work starts.
Franklin Lakes drives differently to most of Bergen County. Route 208 carries the commuter traffic down to Route 4 and the city, but the rest of the borough is winding residential road: Franklin Lake Road around the water, the climb up toward High Mountain on the western side, Pulis and Colonial on the Wyckoff edge. Short hops at low speed, a lot of hills, and long gaps between them is the pattern that is hardest on brakes, suspension bushings and batteries, and the one a service interval written for highway miles does not describe.
The KRP shop at 805 Lafayette Avenue in Hawthorne is about five miles away and eight minutes down Ewing Avenue, which makes it closer than most of the dealers these cars came from. The Clifton shop on Lexington Avenue is the 18-minute alternative if you are heading that way anyway. Both are full KRP locations with the same technicians, the same written estimates and the same lifetime warranty.

The jobs we see most from Franklin Lakes, shaped by the roads you actually drive. Every one is covered by our lifetime warranty, and all of our services are available at every shop.
A lot of what parks in Franklin Lakes driveways is German. We hold the diagnostic equipment and the manufacturer service information for BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Porsche, so routine work does not have to go back to the dealer.
The grade on the western side of the borough works brakes harder than flat miles do, and short trips never get pads and rotors properly hot. We measure rather than guess, and most brake work carries the lifetime warranty.
Winding residential roads, frost heave and the climb toward High Mountain find tired bushings and control arms, and knock alignment out in a way you feel through the wheel before you see it on the tires.
A car that only does four miles at a time never fully recharges. Franklin Lakes finds a weak battery on the first properly cold morning, so we test the battery and the charging system rather than wait for it.
Come off at Ewing Avenue and follow Franklin Avenue south, then Ewing Avenue straight down into Hawthorne. About 10 minutes from the north end of the borough.
Franklin Avenue to Ewing Avenue and south. The shortest run in the borough at roughly 7 minutes.
Franklin Lake Road to Sicomac Avenue, then Goffle Hill Road down into Hawthorne. About 12 minutes, and the prettier way.
