This review is for AAA Roadside Assistance, which Mike's offers. As background, a friend left her Toyota Highlander at my house while she went to visit friends and relatives in GA and NC for three weeks. I am also only a few miles from BDL airport, where she flew out of. Her vehicle wouldn't start this morning. I tried jumping it to no avail. Called AAA, and "Josh" showed up about 45 mins later. He was able to start it w a battery pack, and diagnosed the battery (needs replacement) and electrical system. Very professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. 5-stars read more

I brought my Subaru into Mike's for its 50,000 mile maintenance. As always, they were amazing. I have such confidence In their service that when I come in, I just tell them to do whatever needs to be done. They still let me know what they are planning on doing and, whenever they find something unanticipated, they explain the problem to me before proceeding. And this is after I walk in saying just do whatever needs to be done! Amazing service! I highly recommend these people for all your automotive needs. I have been a customer for MANY years and have NEVER had one complaint. But knowing them, if I did they would correct it immediately and to my complete satisfaction! THANKS, GUYS! read more

I had a minor issue while changing my wiper, and many body shops wouldn't even take a look at it. But the staff here went out of his way to help me and wasn't even going to charge me! read more

This company has been a life saver for me - my daughter goes to college near them and every single time she has an issue we go to these guys and they are reliable, honest, helpful and we never have to wait to get help. I am so happy that since my girl is so far away from home that we can rely on people that will help us and do the right thing. I can't thank them enough for all the time, and help and assurance that has been given to make sure my daughter is safe and I know who to call. Can't say enough - best in the business - from all aspects!! read more

I've been here twice for emissions, in and out. Everyone was so helpful and very professional

First time customer to Mike's auto and had a great experience. I usually like to do my own maintenance and repairs but I was not up to this big job. They have a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Will definitely use Mike's auto again when the need arises. read more

These guys are the best. Stopped in for a last minute emissions test on a Friday at 4:30 (they close at 5:00) and was driving away by 4:42. My husband had a similar fast, efficient experience here last month. Currently their "waiting room" is outdoors; not sure what they'll do when the cold weather hits. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this company, but I'll try. The technicians (mechanics?) are skilled and thorough. (Unlike the dealership where I'd previously had my car serviced.) The service coordinator is knowledgeable, helpful, and seems genuinely interested in me being a satisfied customer. They do not make unnecessary repairs and TELL YOU when something is unnecessary. Big fan. Customer for life. read more

I don't even know how there are non-5 stars for this place. If you're looking at Mike's, you're probably in need of an emissions test. And if that's the case, click the address portion of this page and go drive there. Mike's is so freaking quick and to the point, it's great. Very simple. You show up, hand them the form and $20 cash (everywhere is cash so don't think it's them), and then wait roughly 5 minutes for them to either tell you you're good or not. They also have coffee, tea, etc on hand for waiting but I've honestly never waited longer than 3-5 pages of a magazine there. read more

Have always received the best service. The cost is so much better than the dealership. Friendly, courteous and patient employees.

My 80 year old mom went to have her emissions done and the man behind the desk made her "stand" outside in 30 degree weather and wait. Not only was the man rude about it but you'd think he would of at least offered her a chair! This act of disrespect to a senior is reason enough to never go there again!!! read more

Brought my car in for emissions. I was so glad to see how clean and cautious they are regarding covid. Very pleasant to deal with.

I have taken my cars to Mike and they are fair, timely and honest. My understanding is they are especially good with Hondas and I cannot disagree. Since the other reviews were of emissions, I figured I would comment on the repair service. read more

Fast service. I needed an emissions check for my vehicle and they were able to complete the service in 20 minutes.

Went for emissions and helped me right away very quickly while being friendly. Definitely will come back.

Mike's Auto is extremely thorough, professional, honest, and fair in their prices. They have integrity and always do what it takes to fix your car in a timely fashion. read more

Best place for emissions as a privete or comercial owner, great for emissions and mechanical work aswell!

I had to get my emissions test done for my car and took it to Mikes because all of the chain auto shops in the area have horrible reviews. They were friendly, informative and quick. Would definitely recommend! read more

I came here a year ago for just my emissions test. When they were done with the test they informed me they were a full service shop and could help me with anything and hoped I would return when my car needed any attention. Forward to last week when I start hearing a rattling I remembered how friendly they were at Mikes so I decided to give them a try. I was not dissapointed. They did a great job and not only that, they are fair and very trustworthy. They could of told me I needed to have xy and z done now....but instead he took the time to call Nissan and see if the part was under any recall or warranty and then gave me the option to repair now or later since it was nothing urgent. Since I live close by they even gave me a ride to work...and the BONUS...my car was washed when I picked it up. Don't hesitate to try Mike's Auto! read more

Fantastic A+ experience with Mike and his service team. I'm a customer service professional myself and Mike's guys give me the best service anywhere. I completely trust them to be professional, fair & honest. No fast talk or bs...and right here in Newington! Gave me a ride, a car wash... They pushed to get me back in my Jeep within one day...wow... I wouldn't go anywhere else but Mike's Auto. The Best. read more

Absolutely the place to go for emissions. Quick, friendly and they know what they are doing even with older cars that need to be read through the tailpipe. For regular repair service though, I could only rate them as average. The Mass Airflow Sensor was causing my wife's car to fail emissions and I let them talk me into replacing it to the tune of $500 (it was her money and she just wanted to be done with it). Later I found that often the sensor just needs to be cleaned with MAS cleaner or if it needs to be replaced, the part could be bought online for $200 or so and is easy enough for an amateur to install, a truly honest mechanic would have presented these options - I know, I've had honest mechanics. read more
