Terrible experience!! The place is trash. They are extortionists and you are victimized twice. My car was towed there after an accident. The front desk woman is an unbalanced liar. She would not let me retrieve some of my work equipment from my car unless she got paid (even though they have a sign in front of the office window stating that you can). When I tried to get an explanation to why this could not be done, she got very agitated and aggressive and said either the insurance company should call her or if I pay the bill I could get to my car. I told her the accident happened the day before and I did not have a report from the police yet, and I just needed a few items from the car. She started to insert herself into the accident saying that she was a eyewitness to my accident (she never stop to help. What a "Great person"), that I was speeding (the other driver ran the red light), and that there was blood in the car door (mind you I was the only one in the car and I had no cuts on me). Seeing she was running out of excuses she stated that she had a lengthy conversation with me about this issue the day before when I called to find out if my car was towed to this shop. I looked at my cell phone and the called I had made was only 2 minutes long ( just enough for her to check if they were the one'that had my car). Really crazy woman?!? Then she tried to gaslight me, saying that I must have hit my head and forgot about the conversation. So this animal of female was trying everything to bully me into agreeing with her crazy lies. All the while there was a guy sitting next to her just shaking his head like a dumb bobble head doll and not making any effort to disengage the situation. Garbage at it's finest!! In the end I paid the bill to get my car out of the garbage establishment (if you can call it that). Once I had access to my car the so called blood was actually bird shit!!! Too bad besides being an animal she's also not very smart (well..,no surprise there). Had she been more sympathetic or should I say a decent human being and was willing to help the shop could have made good profit once the insurance company removed the car from the lot. Instead they made not even 10% of it could have been the cost by making me pay for it. Shame on them for being so greedy and crappy people. Got my car and save the insurance company some money LOL.

The tow truck driver yelling at the people he was blocking in the road.

Middlesex Auto and their partner shop, Tony's Auto Services, were life savers on a recent cross…read morecountry trip. After driving 12 hours the previous day, I knew I needed my SUV looked at before another 12 hour day. I arrived just after 7AM, and Javi (at Tony's) was gracious enough to take a look even though their schedule was packed for that day. He determined my wheel barrings needed to be replaced, and brought me directly into the shop/under my vehicle to talk through a few issues and things I should be watching out for (knowing full well any future repairs wouldn't go to them as I'm obviously from far out of state). When the owner came in, he talked me through my options and squeezed me into his second shop to actually get the work done. He ordered the parts and offered to drive me to his other location (which was unneeded but appreciated), and they were expecting me and immediately got to work on my vehicle. The receptionist quoted me 3 hours and offered to drive me up town to kill time along their main street. I again declined but spent some time wandering up there, got a great breakfast, etc. After 2 hours she called and said she'd put an additional mechanic on my vehicle to save time and that it was ready. They even knocked off the additional cost of labor even though it still took the same (or more) man hours to actually complete it! They made further recommendations like replacing my tires (again, knowing they wouldn't benefit from it), and were very honest about what could and could not wait. Middlesex and Tony's fully took care of me, working me into their already too-full schedule, got me on the road, and I was able to finish my trip to see my family. Their honesty, workmanship, and desire to truly help people was very apparent, and I would recommend them all day long.

I agreed to pay $3800 for the repair (new cat + cat protection plate cover) on the Prius I…read morepurchased for $5500. I didn't realize until after the part was in the vehicle that I was essentially purchasing the premium OEM (Magna Flow brand) version of the potential catalytic converters I could have installed, I asked them for the part number and after visiting the website of the manufacturer, realized they applied a significant upcharge. Personable and good customer service, it was damn expensive though.

My car's AC was broken, and I was able to bring it into East Rock Auto on short notice. They were…read moreupfront about pricing, and were able to resolve the problem quickly. However, they also performed a courtesy inspection and recommended over $1000 of additional repairs. Most notably, they found excessive play on the ball joints on both sides, which posed a serious safety risk. This repair alone would have cost over $800. I brought the car to another local mechanic (who came highly recommended) for a second opinion. According to him, the ball joints were perfectly fine (though he agreed with some of the lower cost repairs recommended by East Rock Auto). I would use East Rock Auto again if I have specific repairs that need to be done, but I would take their courtesy inspection results with a big grain of salt.

I want to be fair and objective: the first time I came here, the service was fine and…read morewell-documented. That's why I returned. But the second visit told a very different story. I'm a woman, and I believe the shop assumed I had no knowledge of car repair pricing. I have the full digital estimate saved as screenshots, so here are the facts: TRUNK WEATHER STRIPPING Quoted: $433.08 Labor: $132.78 | Part (trunk seal): $274.44 Reality: A trunk weather seal costs $20-$60 in parts. Labor is a straightforward 30-45 min job. Fair total in CT: $100-$130 MAX. They were charging 3x the reasonable price inflating the part alone by over $200. SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT (6 cylinders) Quoted: $961.78 Labor alone: $691.03 | Parts (6 plugs + gasket kit): $213.32 Reality: According to AAA, RepairPal, and industry standards, a V6 spark plug replacement runs $150-$350 total, or up to $500 at a dealership for hard-to-access engines. Labor nationally ranges from $55-$437 they quoted $691 IN LABOR ALONE. That is simply not defensible. POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR Quoted: $454.78 Labor: $182.10 | Part: $245.53 Reality: This reservoir typically costs $30-$80 in parts. The job takes under an hour. Fair total: $130-$170. They marked up the part by over $170. MOUNT & BALANCE 2 TIRES (215/60/16) Quoted: $373.74 They also added $23.79 for "Road Hazard Coverage" without asking me. Reality: Those tires run $80-$110 each at Costco or Walmart. Mount & balance is $20-$25 per tire. Fair total: ~$230-$270. I declined all four jobs. The overcharge on just these items totals approximately $1,000-$1,300 above fair market value in New Haven, CT. What I did approve (Fluid Film Treatment $199.99 and Transmission Drain & Fill $193.66) seemed within a reasonable range and I have no complaint there. If you are a woman, speak limited English, or appear unfamiliar with car repair get a second opinion before approving ANYTHING here. Bring someone with you, or check RepairPal.com for fair price ranges in your zip code before you walk in.

The interior of my car became flooded up to my ankles. I drove around looking for a place that would hopefully be able to at least get the inside dry so that it wouldn't start to stink in my car. I happened upon One Stop, and instead of making me feel like a jack@$$, which would have been well-warranted, they were very helpful and vacuumed out the interior of my car. The floor mats needed extra time, and so they offered to hang them up in the shop for a couple days free of charge. Upon my return to pick them up, I brought the guys some coffee, which is nowhere near enough to thank them for their kindness. In the future, I will most definitely be taking my car to One Stop for repairs. Thanks, guys! I've attached a "before" picture for your comedic entertainment.

I remember I left it with Bill and went away on vacation for two weeks. I got back to an unanticipated $100 bill for something very minor. From that day on I have never gone to another mechanic. His work is always nose on and he's always been honest with me. I can't speak high enough and give enough praise to Bill and One Stop. Being a Realtor who puts 40k + miles a year on my cars I have been there quite a bit.

My fiancé and I did a lot of research on mechanics in the New Haven area, and we decided on Mike's…read moreAuto Clinic because they were recommended from Yale's student handbook. Also, we called multiple shops and this one was the most reasonable in cost estimates. Out of all the shops we called, John was the most helpful and sincere over the phone. Most importantly, John listened very carefully to our questions, concerns, and ideas. We told John that our car smelled like gasoline and that we needed to find and fix the possible leak. Unlike other shops, John expressed concerned about gasoline-related hazards and our safety. Also, Carlos was nice to us and helped us set an appointment. So after setting an appointment, we brought our car in the morning and met John. John treated us like family from the start. He was very friendly and honest. Right away, he looked under the hood and explained to us what the problem was. He was patient with us and described fully what our issue was and what are options were. We needed to replace the Fuel Regulator. John tried to make it cost-effective for us and gave us a reasonable price. Although they had to order the part from Bridgeport, John got it quickly and worked on our car promptly. Our car issue was resolved and we are extremely happy! For future issues, we now know where to go. We strongly recommend Mike's Auto Clinic.

I recently moved to Hamden and Mike's Auto Clinic was recommended to me when my car wouldn't start…read more Unfortunately, they failed twice to repair it. Mechanics make mistakes; I get that. But failing to give explanations, return my calls, or lock my car overnight (I walked there when I had heard nothing all day and discovered the shop closed and my car unlocked in their parking lot) and then to ask me for cash, is all to add insult to injury. Finally, after having my car towed there for the second time, as arranged the day before, but hearing nothing 24 hours later, I called and was told simply and directly that my car's repair was "not a priority" for them. I understand that this shop has been beloved in Hamden for many years, but unfortunately something or somebody there must have changed. I would never have been disrespected like this at home in Ohio and I am starting to regret moving here.
