It was a complex and frustrating issue, but Steve walked me through the entire diagnosis process in real time. In constant contact, responsive, and completely transparent, Steve sent photos and videos of the engine, explaining what was wrong and how it had to be fixed, step by step. Completely transparent with pricing and progress of the repair-- clear, fair, honest. Steve is the man, he will do you right.

I came here to have the thermostat changed for my sons 2005 Honda Civic and really felt like I was…read moretaken advantage of. They charged me $193.00 dollars for the new thermostat with labor. A big ripoff. When I got the car back, I brought it down to my mechanic Chris to have a new radiator installed. He checked the repair work that was done by Shell gas station and he told me that the mechanic didn't install a new gasket with the thermostat. This is really basic stuff. My mechanic charges $50.00 dollars for the same repair. I was in a hurry and never should have come here. I read some of the other reviews and they seem to have no credibility. I personally would never recommend them to anyone. STAY AWAY!

I don't believe Scotty knows what is going on at the shop. The young guy managing it is dishonest,…read moreand in my experience tries to run up the bill with unnecessary crap. He charged us a ridiculous price for a tire too. When I mentioned another local tire vendor offered much better prices, he said they get cheap, low quality tires from China. We'll, guess where the tire he installed was from. You got it- China. Do not trust this guy.​

I have gone to Scotty's for many years and have always be satisfied.

Finally, was able to get the job done somewhere else for a fraction of the price but frustrating to never get a formal estimate even after 1.5 weeks and had to call 4 times to get the verbal estimate. Very disappointed. Not sure if ownership changes hands but will not go back

This service station may not always give you a FULL diagnostic report…read more My most recent visit I was told my car needed one repair and upon receiving my vehicle I was told it was also going to need another repair that cost more than the first repair! This "new problem" of course happened after I paid for the first repair. The head mechanic does not have a strong grasp of the English language and was rude, impatient, and has no compassion towards his customers. I had spoken with the owner about my bad experience with his mechanic and an apology never came. Lesson Learned. Always get a second opinion because when I took my vehicle to another service station, they couldn't understand how the Gulf could have "missed" the other repairs needed. Don't make the same mistake I did and waste DAYS of your time. Disclaimer: The repair that the Gulf completed on my vehicle was done correctly.

When our car was ready for pickup, I noticed a sound coming from underneath the body. The mechanic and owner John Lehaney both admitted to breaking two of our very expensive exhaust catalytic converter flex pipes, while repairing our initial problem but would not take responsibility for the damage they caused... Dealer cost to repair $3900.00!!!! The problem they caused also made us fail our emission test. This was for sure the biggest headache we ever experienced with an independent garage. STAY AWAY!!!!

As a single woman that doesn't know much about cars - he was honest with me about everything to the smallest detail. I cross checked everything with my dad and parts on the internet due to me not knowing anything (on my first visit before getting anything done) and he was right in line with warehouse prices and labor was very fair! I am so impressed with this shop and I haven't been impressed with shops in CT so I usually take my car to NY for repair but now I can save on gas too as well as have my car fixed!

Has anyone mentioned to you lately that Nico is a crook? If not, just remember that. If so, spread…read morethe word. He is a crook. Read my previous review and make sure you never let anyone you care about trust him with their vehicle. He will lie to you, take your money and knowingly leave your car unsafe because you'll need to keep coming back for more service... and act like he's helping you out by scamming you and putting your life in danger. He cares about money before he cares about you. All dealerships do too... but at least it is in their best interest to solve your problems. Nico's business is more about perpetuating them or simply creating new ones. DON'T BE FOOLED.

I have been bringing my foreign and domestic cars to Joe and Mario D'Agostino's place for 30+ years…read moreand only have great things to say about them. As stated in another review Joe is extremely well-trained and skilled at diagnostics and auto repair. Although they are foremost BMW and Audi experts, they can easily handle any make/model. They love working on Italian cars, btw. Agree that they are a hidden gem for auto repair! They are very, very trustworthy; repair estimates and costs are always very fair, if not under the market. I love these guys and recommend them highly. We own 5 cars and they service all of them (Toyota, Honda (2), Fiat, Subaru...Volvo and Ford in the past). You will not be disappointed. I would give them 6 stars if it were possible!
