For the last 15 years, I have been going to a couple of garages in Fairfield. One started out great, but the prices steadily went up over the years. Then, I discovered that I was charged $600 for a repair that my high-schooler fixed in 15 minutes (clogged condensation line).
So, I switched to another shop on Black Rock Turnpike. Multiple bad diagnoses, but the repairs were done right. Yet, they kept charging me $100-200 more than they quoted me...
Finally, I found Elvis (the owner) through my church here at EZ Automotive. What a difference! You can tell very quickly that he is knowledgeable and he is a fantastic communicator (teacher-like). He had me hold off on one of the repairs that the Fairfield garage told me to do (which would have been $1,000). Through friends, I know he is amazingly honest and this is reinforced by our discussions about my vehicles. His location in Bridgeport can feel a little off the beaten path for the Fairfield crowd, but if you can see past this, you will not want to go to anyone else. An honest mechanic running a shop that clearly loves fixing vehicles and doesn't mind explaining exactly what he's doing. read more
