On top of that, on even SHORTER notice, they welded a rusted-out exhaust pipe that might have broken on the first bump on the three-hour drive home in my new-to-me auto. So I was able to drive home stress free. And they charged me a very reasonable price. KUDOS to the three generations of Stones running that place. It is a very, very busy business. Highly recommended.

I went to get my car inspected at the Autosmith the other day. Not because I heard good things…read more(just the opposite), but because I was feeling lazy and the Autosmith is close. They inspected it right away, and found that I needed new springs in the front--they said mine were broken. Their two options to fix the issue would have cost me approximately $615 (the "cheap" option) to $665. Well, folks, Tracey Phelps doesn't have $700 kickin' around, so I got a second opinion. My boyfriend, Jake, took a gander at the springs and being a car guy, noticed that the springs WEREN'T BROKEN AT ALL. The paint was peeling off, but otherwise totally fine! He then told me that the Autosmith tried to rip him off in the past and that I should head over to Bob's Auto in Essex. All in all, it cost me $65 for an oil change and inspection at Bob's Auto, as opposed to ten times that at Autosmith for work that I didn't even need. I know Autosmith is trying to expand and pay for their new stuff, but can they give their neighbors a break? I can't afford to pay for your new shop, and neither can most of us in this cruddy recession.

I was glad to see they found an issue in my front end (go figure with the wonderful roads in VT) while doing the oil change. It cost a bit more than a free oil change, but was certainly reasonable and the service was very prompt. Thank you again and I would recommend anyone to try them out for fair prices and honest quality.

Not only did he give us a tow, but he drove us to the airport to get a rental car back to Boston, and he gave us great advice on dealing with insurance (car ended up being totaled - would probably have had to come all the way back to VT to clean it out if not for Rod).

I changed the filter myself, but went back to them, explained the situation and requested they change the oil-soaked belt belt. They could not accommodate me for several days, despite their mistake. As I drove less than a mile to another garage, the serpentine belt broke, wrapped around the shaft, got sucked through the the front seal, filled the engine with rubber, and destroyed the engine. $7,000 for a rebuild; $10,000 for a new one. Car totaled with two payments left. Thanks Ron Bushey auto!

We discovered it in the morning and the owner of our RV Park gave us Tyler's Trucking contact information. I phoned our road service and they explained no one could help us in a 100 mile radius because of the holiday. I phoned and left a message with Tyler's Trucking that morning. I received a return call late afternoon from them. The person I spoke with was very apologetic and said that he was out of the cell phone service area. He said they could help us at 8 am the next day which was perfect. Two very competent men arrived right on time. They determined the problem very fast and left to find the part we needed. They arrived back in a couple of hours with the part. Apparently it was hard to find and we were pleased they had found it. We were charged a very reasonable rate. We were on the road before noon. I would highly recommend this company. They really were very professional in all aspects in dealing with them.

I open my hood because they broke the latch and didn't repair it. Along with a lot of plastic material under the hood. So I was left, needing to access the engine and not being able to. I drove it to a nearby shop and they had to use pliers to open the hood. They even stated that that should have been fixed. Clearly no one since J&L has accessed the hood as they wouldn't be able to even open it! And J&L Service Center was the last one access my engine. They denied accountability. Had they owned up to it and simply fixed it I would not be so angry. I understand things happen, that are often out of our control, however, they didn't inform me that it happened and simply sent me on my way with it. Dangerous and irresponsible. J&L .. I trusted you.
