Great quick and reliable service for an oil change and a battery replacement…read more The reason I selected this shop was the reviews that stated that they are both reliable and honest. reliable but I do have to question the honesty. The current issue for concern and the 1 star rating is they charged my 18 year old daughter $388 for a Super Start AGM- Platinum 94RPLT battery. This battery is no more than $250 (less refund on core) at any auto part store. Here is the listing for the identical battery at O'Reilly: Super Start Platinum AGM Battery Group Size 94R H7 - 94RPLT. $249.99 Each + Refundable Core $22.00. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/platinum/super-start-platinum-agm-battery-group-size-94r-h7/ssbq/94rpltk I will assume this was either a honest mistake or I simply did not have full information. I will certainly change my review to a 5 star when I get a satisfactory explanation or a credit on the actual price of the battery. Mistakes do happen and, perhaps there is a very plausible reason for the battery being so much more expensive than what the advertised price is at most every retailer but I have called and emailed multiple times to get an explanation but no return email or call.

Came in with my 2015 Elantra. Never had an issue before. They told me my 3rd break light was out…read moreand I gave them the go ahead to fix it. They came to me 5 minutes later and told me that there was a broken wire and they had to fail me. The light was still original, it was working last week, and that compartment had never been opened before. The wire was bright, shiny copper. It was clear it had just broken. They charged me $35, gave me a reject sticker, and told me they couldn't do anything. The kids doing my inspection were fresh out of highschool. Now I will have to pay probably $200 to get the wire fixed and I still don't have my inspection. Go somewhere with real mechanics and save yourself the potential problems.

While visiting Williamstown, my ailing car refused to start. The dealer I bought it from was a…read morefriend, willing to fix it or take it back. I had the car towed to Carpinello's, having been told it was a family-run repair shop. I explained that I'd like to get it running if possible but by no means wanted to undertake expensive repairs. When they failed to get in touch with me in the course of the day, I went to the shop and stayed in the waiting room for several hours to make sure I was available to discuss the work, but I never got more than vague reports about what was up and never had the chance to speak with the mechanic directly. In fact they simply replaced parts until they found what was wrong, and presented me a bill nearly three times what I had set as a maximum. When I protested, the owner was rude, vulgar, and ultimately threatening--said he would yank the new parts out of the car and leave me push it off his property. With no idea what to do (I've never had so unpleasant an experience with a merchant) I called the local police. The officer I spoke with told me that the shop had a bad reputation and suggested another garage. Ultimately I signed the car over to them rather than pay the bill, which was more than what I had paid for the car. In a final indication of the ethics of the operation, the owner's wife said as I filled out the paperwork that the good news was they wouldn't have to disclose to a potential buyer that the car failed emissions because of the way they obtained it. I don't go around trashing people--I think this is the only bad on-line review I've ever written--but I've never been so badly treated by a business. This happened some time ago, but the management is still the same.

Also a good place to buy tires--even those world-beater Nokians. I've been using them almost exclusively since moving here in 2002--first on my RAV4, now my Outback, and my wife's Escort. You will look long and hard to find anybody else this good in this area.

I walked into the office and find a guy sitting; no greeting, no standing up to great a possible new customer... Just a truly SOUR expression. He looks at me and I ask him if he is Ron. He responds I don't need to know that. Oh... okay. I'd like to speak with the owner. His response? WANT DO YOU WANT? I responded with something about how getting old is a real pain, start to complete a thought. He is extremely agitated that I like to gab a bit. He asked again what I needed, interrupting me mid sentence AGAIN. I had sat into a chair, stood up and offered something like finding a shop not so busy... maybe I just thought that. Anyhow, I told him nevermind, I'll just go find someone else and left. Oh, for what it's worth... I need the old engine out and another put in. Simple. He lost THOUSANDS of bucks! Idiot!

It took 1.5 days for the complete job and let me tell you -- I was so impressed with the work that was done, from the new fenders, to the rust removal, to the paint, right down to the car wash! What a fantastic job! It looked like a brand new car! I had people telling me how nice my car looked and some actually asked if i had gotten a 'new' car. The professionalism, friendliness, and promptness was far better than a lot of service you get these days. Brian deserves 5 GOLD stars for the job he and his crew did. I cannot thank them enough.
