I am a woman and have always been treated with consideration at Joe's Garage. Condescension toward…read morewomen coming from car repairmen is a complaint with which I am very familiar, so I value the fact that Joe and Austin give me straight talk. They've serviced my car to them for several years now and they have been good about diagnosing and correcting problems, have told me clearly when a problem is beyond them (my Prius was having problems with the big battery), have suggested good alternatives to the town's exorbitant Toyota dealer when they couldn't make the repairs. If the part is going bad, they show it to you, explain how it should work, show you where the problem is with its functioning. Their prices are great.

Why are auto mechanics so shady?…read more Whether charging you for unnecessary repairs, scaring you into making repairs on the spot instead of shopping around, and charging exorbitant markups on parts on top of their hourly rate, it seems some shops have spent more time learning how to extract money out of the customer than repairing vehicles. Bilo don't play that. While "honest mechanic" seems more an oxymoron these days, Bilo is as honest as they come. He doesn't flip out if you want to bring your own parts (bringing the wrong part just means delaying your repair). He also will show you where things are broken, where service technicians have screwed up (thanks Jiffy Lube!) and keeps your budget in mind when coming up with repairs. Plus, he has the skill and knowledge to make repairs, not just swap parts. If you're looking to be charged 200% markup on parts on top of $85/hr labor by all means go to one of the franchises in town. If you want a fair price and a competent, honest mechanic Bilo is your man.

I had an engine and a transmission error code. A mechanic at the shop also checked fluids and found burned metal in them, not a great sign. They told me in the gentlest way possible it was time to get a new car. I asked what I owed them and they refused to charge me. Coming from NYC, I was taken aback to be treated with such kindness and good faith by strangers running a business. We talked more about cars and about some new cars to avoid that they are seeing a lot of problems with. Since this visit, I bought new car.

So my rear brakes needed to be changed badly and I found out when I went to the honda dealership…read morefor a routine oil change. One service rep at the Lia Honda in Northampton would not let me leave without purchasing rear brakes and rotors for $498-$550. Then I went to Exotics right across from Z Autos, and they wanted $500-$550. And then there was Mike at Z Auto, who replaced my rear rotors and brake pads for ONLY $298. And the best part is that he did it in a couple hours. With that said, I highly recommend Z Auto for anyone having any issues on their cars. And yes it is a small shop and there might be a a little bit of wait but you can not beat that service and price.
