TL;DR -- Quality, transparent, reliable automotive repair for a reasonable price. Yes, this exists. If you're near Morristown and are looking for a repair shop, definitely give them a call.
You never want to start a vacation with your car breaking down on the side of a major highway 7 hours from home and still another hour to your destination. Complicating matters, it's just after 5pm on the Friday of a holiday weekend. Everyone you talk to insists that "no one" will be open tomorrow to look at the car, regardless of what you see listed online. They also note that you will likely need a new engine based on the noises it's making, as "no one" will want to do the work involved in replacing just the water pump. Apparently "No One" is Automotive Reset. While waiting for a tow truck I frantically Googled and called them on a whim, hoping that the answering machine would confirm whether they would be open on Saturday morning, as listed. To my surprise, someone picked up the phone. They waited, long after hours, for the tow truck to bring us in. The owner then let us load up all our luggage in his truck and gave us a ride to the hotel where my mother and daughter were waiting for us (a good Samaritan gave them a lift a few hours earlier), even offering to help us get to the rental car agency the next day if we couldn't find a ride. The next morning we checked in after getting a rental car and they had already run some diagnostics and ordered the necessary parts so it could be there as soon as possible. Robert walked us through the issue, showed us where the problem was, and answered all our questions. It wasn't an easy repair, requiring them to order parts and tools. That said, they did everything they could, working overtime to get the car fixed as soon as possible so we could get home. It was also far less expensive than replacing the entire engine, saving us likely thousands of dollars. We were very clearly desperate and willing to pay whatever was asked, which was not exploited. If you're near Morristown and need help with your vehicle, big or small, definitely give them a call. read more
