Well, Palumbo's is doing pretty well without my review, but here goes:…read more-Gave an estimate and presented an invoice for the same. No add-ons like the dealer. Subtle work suggestions printed on reverse of invoice listed according to severity or need to replace without any pressure. -Dealer, who always serviced my Acura TLX always gave a verbal estimate of what needed to be done next delivered with a print out of red stop signs. This was delivered in an ominous tone & they were unwilling to prioritize all of the work needing to be done. "You might as well do it while you're here...we're pretty booked because of (choose any reason)" Lots of doom & gloom. Car has less than 50k miles... -Greeter/cashier was extremely friendly and explained things well. Promised the job would take about an hour, but I paid & was out the door in 45 minutes. Similar service last month at the dealer's took 1.5+ hours... I was looking to establish a relationship with a garage that was close by, trustworthy, pleasant to deal with and who did good work. Bye, bye Acura dealer.

Jerrell was kind enough to help me that same day a few hours later with no questions asked. I had never stepped foot in their establishment prior. He put my car on the lift to look for a device, he was not able to find anything but told me to come back anytime if I had any additional information. This type of kindness really went a long way for me. I won't hesitate to bring my car there for service because of the way he went out of his way for me and didn't have to. He didn't charge me a dime! I highly recommend Palumbo's if you are looking for a business that genuinely cares. Can't say enough great things about them!

Outstanding, Honest Service!…read more I can't say enough good things about A-1 Complete Auto Care in Guilford! I recently brought my car to Town Fair Tire in Wallingford for a slow leak in my front passenger side tire. They told me there had been a plug that came out and the tire couldn't be repaired. Not only had I never had a plug in that tire, but they also insisted I needed a brand new tire--and even suggested replacing all four, despite my car only having 26,000 miles. Wanting a second opinion, I brought my car to A-1 Complete Auto Care. They quickly identified the real issue: a nail in the tire. They confirmed there had been no previous plug and were able to patch the leak with no problem. Their honesty, professionalism, and straightforward service completely blew me away. Instead of trying to upsell me on tires I didn't need, they provided a simple, effective, and affordable fix. I couldn't be more grateful--and A-1 has absolutely earned my trust and future business! Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable, no-nonsense auto care.

David Lindgren of D & S Auto Repair is a LIFE SAVER! We would give SIX stars if possible!…read more We were traveling from Massachusetts to Delaware when a trailer tire blew out on the freeway. While our tire was disintegrating as we were traveling in the breakdown lane, we pulled off at the next exit. Since we had to travel with only the exposed rim for about 2 miles we thought we might have to check into a hotel for the night to fix the problem. Then (cue heavenly music!) we spotted D & S Auto Repair. When David heard about our problem and saw that, in fact the rim was destroyed, he volunteered that he had a trailer tire already mounted on the rim that he would sell us and mount for $100! This is one of the most gracious acts of kindness we have experienced and years of touring. We hope that anyone in New England in need of mechanical services in the Guilford, CT area will call DNS auto repair! Thank you David!

My wife is on Social Security card in 2009 with 210,000 miles on it. The guy was very nice. She said no problem. The girls were very nice and they always are but for the two things that they did to the car they charge me $179 just to look at it but I had to work down there and this is what really bothers me they charged me $700 for parts. My son-in-law and my son both work on cars. My son told me that they definitely overcharged us. He called on the place and we were overcharge at least $400 plus we had to work down there. The total bill was $1398 but they told me 1380+ $20 for emissions but we already paid for admissions twice in the last three weeks so I don't know what was going on. but the thing that really bothers me is, I thought they were gonna take care of me $1400 for what they did. It just bothered me big time especially when I had to use $1000 that I had to pay my mortgage and now I'm a month behind whatever . But the $179 to look at it when first of all, they never told me they're gonna charge me to look at it and then we had to work done there. I don't know I'm disappointed I think they're nice people, but I just feel like I got way overcharged especially when we just don't have the money like I said the girls there are very nice and then you say 1380 and it's 1400+ $20 every little bit counts to us I work 12 hours a day seven days a week because my wife and son are sick but anyway it really hurt me to fill this out because I like them

They said, OH we were in the back moving cars. So, I asked if they would definitely be there today, I'm leaving work early again to get it done.

This is the most unprofessional incompetent place of business I have dealt with. I could have gone another route if they were up front. Monumental waste of my time. Do yourself a favor and just go elsewhere! They are terrible!
