My fiancé and I did a lot of research on mechanics in the New Haven area, and we decided on Mike's…read moreAuto Clinic because they were recommended from Yale's student handbook. Also, we called multiple shops and this one was the most reasonable in cost estimates. Out of all the shops we called, John was the most helpful and sincere over the phone. Most importantly, John listened very carefully to our questions, concerns, and ideas. We told John that our car smelled like gasoline and that we needed to find and fix the possible leak. Unlike other shops, John expressed concerned about gasoline-related hazards and our safety. Also, Carlos was nice to us and helped us set an appointment. So after setting an appointment, we brought our car in the morning and met John. John treated us like family from the start. He was very friendly and honest. Right away, he looked under the hood and explained to us what the problem was. He was patient with us and described fully what our issue was and what are options were. We needed to replace the Fuel Regulator. John tried to make it cost-effective for us and gave us a reasonable price. Although they had to order the part from Bridgeport, John got it quickly and worked on our car promptly. Our car issue was resolved and we are extremely happy! For future issues, we now know where to go. We strongly recommend Mike's Auto Clinic.

I recently moved to Hamden and Mike's Auto Clinic was recommended to me when my car wouldn't start…read more Unfortunately, they failed twice to repair it. Mechanics make mistakes; I get that. But failing to give explanations, return my calls, or lock my car overnight (I walked there when I had heard nothing all day and discovered the shop closed and my car unlocked in their parking lot) and then to ask me for cash, is all to add insult to injury. Finally, after having my car towed there for the second time, as arranged the day before, but hearing nothing 24 hours later, I called and was told simply and directly that my car's repair was "not a priority" for them. I understand that this shop has been beloved in Hamden for many years, but unfortunately something or somebody there must have changed. I would never have been disrespected like this at home in Ohio and I am starting to regret moving here.

I went to see Angela and Caroline after my car died unexpectedly, and they were so helpful!…read moreCaroline asked me what I was looking for and within a couple of days had found me the perfect car for what I needed. They arranged easy financing and got the car to me so quickly. I called so many used car places in the area and they were all so dismissive, not helpful, and hard to deal with; they all seemed like they couldn't be bothered. But Caroline and Angela at Unique were so sweet and happy to work with me, it really made it a pleasant experience. I'm confident the car will last me a long time and I really feel like I got a great deal. I'm going to recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for a good used car.

Andrei is fair, his prices are fair, and most importantly, he is an honest car salesman and mechanic. He is the owner and works on the cars himself and does a stand up job. The care I bought is immaculate inside and out, just beautiful. And there was no haggling with prices, I didn't even need to haggle, he gave me a more than fair price right from the start. He put zero pressure on me, which was great. He even let me take the car to an independent mechanic to give it an inspection before I bought it, he said sure thing, not a problem at all, where most car salesman would be hesitant. His shop and office are spotless, and you feel comfortable just upon walking in the door. Andrei is a stand up honest business man, and I will certainly do business with him again in the future and recommend him to family and friends.

This place will repair your car and will repair it at a fair price. You don't need to worry about…read moregetting ripped off. That is as much as I can say for a compliment. Customer service in my opinion is not good at all. This is just my personal experience, just the basic thing like remembering your phone number they don't do that right. They write your phone number on a piece of paper in front of them and never remember to call you. I had to give them my phone number every time I go there. I got my car repaired there 2/23/2011 and I had to call to find out the status of my car, no one bothered calling to let me know it was done or even call me to let me know what the repairs will be. They did extra repairs without my knowledge, I am glad they did what they did, but they should have at least called me. Also, my car needs another part, I asked the person there to look the price for me and call me to let me know (on 2/23/2011), you guessed it, no one called. I went there yesterday 3/16/2011, in person, to ask the same lazy guy there to call to get the pricing for me. He took my name and number on a piece of paper and said yeah definitely he would call, I was 99% sure he wasn't going to to do it, and hence, the motivation to write this review. I didn't even step out of the door, he immediately return to a conversation with his buddy in there, in a way of him showing me I was annoying him. I didn't think an auto repair place that you have given them plenty of business in the past will get annoyed at you potentially given them more business. Well, that is my view. I did not get a call (I waited all day till close of business) and that means they don't care. I prefer a place with better service, and at minimum, will take your phone number only one time and will remember to call. There are plenty of auto repair shops out there that have better service with better people. I would NOT return back to this place and give them any business. If you value good service like I do then this may not be the place for you. This has been my unique experience with this place, if others have better, great, but I did not. The lazy person they have in there working for them just cost them a customer, if they don't care about that then they should not be in business. Thanks to Yelp, you can easily search for a place with a good reputation. I've noted this and would save completely unnecessary headaches by going to places that are not very good.

This will be an "eye-opener", so bear with me as I explain how I probably avoided a major financial…read moredisaster. Route 80 Motors (supposedly located at 797 Foxon Rd, North Branford, CT) advertised a restored 1968 Mustang convertible that my son was interested in. Since I was in RI, and the car was in CT, he asked that I check it out since it was priced lower than anything he had seen. BTW, that vehicle is still listed. You would think such a hot item listed at $14,800.00 would be sold rather quickly. He lives in CO and probably would have tried to purchase this "vehicle" long distance. After more than a 2-hour drive to view the car, I got to the address listed on their website. However, it was a salvage yard. If you search for Route80-motors.com, you'll see a wonderfully crafted website with the address listed above. However, what you see at that address (salvage yard) is not what is pictured on the Internet. I spoke with a driver there, telling him I was there to look at the car. He stated, "there is no 68 Mustang here". He went on to say this wasn't the first time and that I was probably being scammed. I showed him the address, and the building I was at didn't match the photo at all. The Town Hall was nearby, so I stopped there and inquired only to learn that the business didn't seem to exist in that town. It might have been before, but not now! I called this guy named Lloyd back and asked twice what the correct address was, but he couldn't answer. He kept saying it was on the website, and that I could Google it. However, if you do a search, everything comes up with the address mentioned above. So, after a day completely shot, I never saw this guy, never got a straight answer, never found the place of business, nor did I see any Mustang. Fortunately for me, it never went any farther than another lesson to be very cautious and pay attention to those red flags. The photo clearly shows the name of the business, as does the website complete with the incorrect address. Further searches post all sorts of photos with so many smiling faces with their newly purchased vehicles. However, I didn't see any way to determine when the photos were taken. Although the website appears active, everything seems wrong and according to YELP, the business is closed. Be Careful!
