In honor of Memorial Day, Wasp Automotive will be CLOSED on Monday, May 25th. 🇺🇸

Our team will be taking the day to unplug and spend time with our families as we remember, honor, and express our deep gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

We will reopen for our regular hours on Tuesday morning, May 26th.

We wish everyone in our community a safe, peaceful, and meaningful holiday weekend. Lest we forget. 🕊️✨

Our sunroom waiting area is looking especially bright this week! 🌸✨

We’ve been working on the updates, and our garden beds are finally coming to life. But some of the best details are easy to miss!

We wanted to see if you can spot a few new additions that are hard to see at first glance:

🔎 Can you spot the hummingbird feeder? (We’ve already had a bunch of visitors! 🦜)

🔎 Can you find the TWO sets of wind chimes?

🔎 Can you spot the new hanging plants?

It’s all about creating a calm space for our customers while we take care of their cars. Let us know what you found in the comments! 🐝🚙

They say the moment you stop learning is the moment you stop growing. 💡

Behind the scenes last week: The entire team grabbed some lunch and sat down for a deep-dive advanced training session on fuel system and engine cleanliness technology.

Car technology and modern chemistry evolve rapidly, and so do we. Even with the classics, relying strictly on "the way we’ve always done it" isn’t always good enough anymore.

We invest the time to keep our technicians sharp, certified, and ahead of the curve—whether your vehicle is a brand-new model or a time-tested favorite.

Because when you trust us with your keys, you deserve a team that knows your vehicle inside and out, down to the exact science.

We love sharing what goes on behind the bay doors! Is there a specific part of car maintenance or repair you've always been curious about? Ask us in the comments below! 👇🚘

One of the best parts of being a local business is growing alongside our long-time customers. Chaitanya has been coming to Wasp Auto for a while, and seeing her notice the heart we’ve put into our recent upgrades, from the new lounge to the detailing, truly means the world to us.

Chaitanya, thank you for being part of the journey and for trusting us with your vehicle through every evolution of our shop! 🚙💙😊

Dinner plans? Drinks after work? Head over to West 94th Street Pub to check out their brand-new tabletops—you might spot a familiar name. 👀

We’re proud to be featured alongside other local businesses. Huge thanks to Community Tabletops for bringing it all together!

Stop by, grab a drink or a bite, and take a look around.

(And before you hit the road… just make sure your A/C is blowing cold. If not—we’ve got you covered 😉🚗❄️)

Whether it’s for that overdue oil change or that “weird noise” you’ve been meaning to check out, you can now grab a spot on our calendar in seconds—even if it’s midnight and the shop is closed.

Of course, if you’d rather call, our team is always happy to help you get scheduled over the phone. Either way, we’ll make sure your vehicle is taken care of.

We believe even auto repair should feel serene. 🌿

We recently transformed our outdoor patio into a peaceful sunroom waiting area surrounded by greenery, and we’ve LOVED seeing how much you’ve been enjoying it!

The space is fully climate-controlled for year-round comfort. Grab a drink and a snack, then relax and enjoy the view while your vehicle is being serviced. We’ll keep a seat open for you! 😉
