Neil was so sincere, honest and knowledgeable when talking to me about the many repairs my can needed. He organized and guided me with the order of importance to make sure I had a safe vehicle to drive! As a woman, its very easy to be taken advantage of however,I never once felt that he was trying to "get over on me" and just take my money! I genuinely felt that he really cared about my safety and keeping my vehicle running well! I will recommend SafeT Auto in Wallingford to everyone and will keep coming back!

The receptionist Neil is very courteous and provides detail explanations. This was my second…read moreappointment with Saf T Auto Wallingford. My first delt with a repair in relation to a loud noise from what I was explained was a bearing issue in the rear. Along with a new alignment and other services, the repairs were made at a very high cost. There was no noice and the car was in good shape. In a few months, the same exact noise returned. I returned it to Saf T Auto only to discover that the caliper was "frozen" and I needed more repairs that would cost $1,300 +. It was explained that the bearing was not the issue this time around. It was the caliper. I decided that alone should be fixed because I simply could not afford to pay the larger cost. I was assured the caliper replacement would fix the issue with the noise. After the repairs, I picked up my vehicle and drove off and immediately my alert AWD light came on. I returned back to the Saf T Auto where they fixed the alert light. After traveling less than two minutes, the same exact noise that was the issue to begin with returned. I contacted Neil. He said that the bearings will have to be changed after all. I refused to pay for additional services because the part was under warranty by Saf T Auto. Neil concede that it was and explained that it will be fixed at all cost in three more days. What troubled me the most was that the underlined issue of the noise conming from the rear was never repaired after I was assured that the caliper was the issue. And to insinuate that the bearings needed to be changed at an additional cost intially then to confirm that they were under warranty after I refused to pay the cost is severely suspect. No apologies we're given. No "we will repair as soon as possible." I was told it was safe to drive around with damaged bearings. Somehow, I believe that is not an accurate statement. I'd give no stars if I could to reflect this second visit.

I had the car towed to Civali's. Put my key in their night slot. I showed up at 7:50a to discuss what happen in hopes they would be able to fix it. I know they open at 8a but was blown away that they were already open and the door was unlocked for clients to come in. As a business owner myself I hate walking up to a business where they unlock the doors precisely at the hour indicated. I was Impressed by that alone... a great first impression!!! Spoke to front end person discussed what happened while I was driving. Long story short: they were able to fix it that day. Great communicators throughout the process.. very fair and reasonable prices... and GREAT customer service!!! If I ever have another car issue I'd definitely take it back... HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to anyone. I rarely write reviews but Civali's deserved taking the time to do so... I was just so impressed by the seamlessness of the whole process.
