My husband and I have been getting our cars serviced here for a couple of years. I feel like they…read moreare completely honest with us. They tell us if we need to get a repair done now or just keep it on our radar. I recently had a problem with my gear grinding on my car when I changed to second (standard transmission). They could have gone to the most expensive repair and told me I needed to replace the whole clutch, but he explained all my options and what would happen if those options didn't work. I felt I had a say in my repair and they explained it to a level I could understand (car novice here).

He's extremely knowledgeable and honest and doesn't half-a$$ anything. I've recommended Dan's to many friends and family and all are very pleased with the service. Suzanne is fast to inform me on the diagnosis and leaves the decision to proceed with repair work to me before proceeding. No surprises when it's time to pick up your car. Both Henry and Suzanne have gone above and beyond any expectations I've had. Two GREAT people. If you're looking for a friendly place you can trust to fix or maintain your vehicle, don't look any further than Dan's!

Both were for emissions (of course the only thing that needs to pass inspection). SMARTs are made by Mercedes. The only SMART repair shop is New Country in Hartford and their rates for repair are on a "Mercedes rich" scale. On to my experience with Al's Garage...I brought in my SMART car to Ronny at Al's. He'd never worked on a SMART car before, but he's a master mechanic, embraced the challenge and he gave it a go! He did amazing work for me...new brakes, tune up, new seat buckle, transmission drain and fill, new motor mount and more little pesky things. Anyway, he charged me a very, very fair price. I'm sure it would have cost me and arm and a leg at New Country in Hartford, but Ronny saved me. AND he's a very nice, funny guy!! SMART car owners, go to Al's before driving out to Hartford to be taken advantage of. I'm super duper happy with Al's and you will be too.

Pleased with the level of effort shown to fix any problem. Ronnie is fair and honest.read more

After john looked at it he called me but I missed the call. When I returned the call I got his mother at the front desk, cause john was out for the day. I asked about the car and she didn't know anything so I asked for a call back. Next thing I know the car is done. John requests I pay in cash, which I did, and I got the car back. It sounded horrible, and the next day 1/2 the tail pipe fell off... in the same spot that john "fixed" a year before. Anyway, my partners grandma agreed to help with this new bill if we took it to her mechanic. After grandmas mechanic had it for a few days they informed me that the starter is faulty, so we had to pay for a new starter to be installed... again As soon as I was able I brought that starter back to john, explained the issue and asked for a refund. During the very heated argJohn, that ensued john lied and said he spoke with my uncle (who was also a customer of johns) about the work that was needed. John also told me that he gave my uncle a quote. John inevitably told me he wouldn't do anything for me and so I left. A few minutes later john called back saying he would refund the money for the part assuming it was the right starter. So I brought it back but before I handed it to him, I took a picture of the pertinent information. During the long weekend I had some time and so I looked it up on orielys website (where John said he got the part)... it was selling for $141.99 but john charged me $233.50+ tax. He ended up giving the money back, which I do appreciate, though he still withheld the $15 in sales tax  he charged  I went back and forth on writing this, after all, this is jts livelihood... but if he did this to me I can only imagine he's done it to others...
