Middlesex Auto and their partner shop, Tony's Auto Services, were life savers on a recent cross…read morecountry trip. After driving 12 hours the previous day, I knew I needed my SUV looked at before another 12 hour day. I arrived just after 7AM, and Javi (at Tony's) was gracious enough to take a look even though their schedule was packed for that day. He determined my wheel barrings needed to be replaced, and brought me directly into the shop/under my vehicle to talk through a few issues and things I should be watching out for (knowing full well any future repairs wouldn't go to them as I'm obviously from far out of state). When the owner came in, he talked me through my options and squeezed me into his second shop to actually get the work done. He ordered the parts and offered to drive me to his other location (which was unneeded but appreciated), and they were expecting me and immediately got to work on my vehicle. The receptionist quoted me 3 hours and offered to drive me up town to kill time along their main street. I again declined but spent some time wandering up there, got a great breakfast, etc. After 2 hours she called and said she'd put an additional mechanic on my vehicle to save time and that it was ready. They even knocked off the additional cost of labor even though it still took the same (or more) man hours to actually complete it! They made further recommendations like replacing my tires (again, knowing they wouldn't benefit from it), and were very honest about what could and could not wait. Middlesex and Tony's fully took care of me, working me into their already too-full schedule, got me on the road, and I was able to finish my trip to see my family. Their honesty, workmanship, and desire to truly help people was very apparent, and I would recommend them all day long.

I didn't realize until after the part was in the vehicle that I was essentially purchasing the premium OEM (Magna Flow brand) version of the potential catalytic converters I could have installed, I asked them for the part number and after visiting the website of the manufacturer, realized they applied a significant upcharge. Personable and good customer service, it was damn expensive though.

The old guy scared me a little bit because he was....nice but somehow remind me of someone from the Godfather. But he fixed my car fast and without no other problem. Something about this place make me feel that I can trust him. I like the local small business than stay in business not because how fansy it is or how large it is or how new it is, but how well they can do the job. I went there more than 3 times with my old car until I changed to a new car. It's a good place to go. Get it a try.

Then the tire blew, or whatever it was that happened to the vehicle. It was after hours, and luck had it, we were across from Steller's. We parked the Jeep in their lot, left a note, with the key on the driver side tire. First thing Friday morning my brother called to let them know what happened & if they could fix it. Not only did they do the job in the same day, they also stayed late past closing so we could return to get the Jeep that evening. Everyone was charming & kind. Again, thank you guys, next time we'll have a scheduled visit, rather than an emergency.

As a female I am always worried about getting scammed at a garage but I figured they have been in business for a very long time so let me give them a try. The price was reasonable and they were very nice. Like everyone else I hate spending money on my truck when there's nothing wrong with it but Honda recommends this service to be done at 100K and I was at 103K so I bit the bullet and spent the $1370. I am so glad I did. My truck runs like new. I had no idea how much better it would run with having this done. Steller's has got themselves a new customer! The price was good, they were nice, they did the job in a day and they never tried to upsell me anything else. The did the service I asked for and that was it. Not pushy like the Honda dealer. I'm so happy I gave them a try. I'm more than happy with the service. I will continue to go here for all services needed. Thank you Stellers for not taking advantage of a girl who knows nothing about cars. I appreciate you!!

I stopped here to ask if they can repair this today and how much to replace it. I did not want to go the weekend with that just hanging down. They told me it would be just over $600.00, and stated that they cannot get the parts in until Tuesday due to the holiday and they can fix it then. I told them nevermind, and he said good luck because no one will be able to fix it today or over the weekend. I stopped off at another place, and they were able to get the part and had it fix the same day, and it only cost $200.00. Hmmmm, saving of $400.00.. I wanted to give them extra and they said no. I wonder how many others they ripped off and also ripped off the insurance company.

However, they also performed a courtesy inspection and recommended over $1000 of additional repairs. Most notably, they found excessive play on the ball joints on both sides, which posed a serious safety risk. This repair alone would have cost over $800. I brought the car to another local mechanic (who came highly recommended) for a second opinion. According to him, the ball joints were perfectly fine (though he agreed with some of the lower cost repairs recommended by East Rock Auto). I would use East Rock Auto again if I have specific repairs that need to be done, but I would take their courtesy inspection results with a big grain of salt.

I want to be fair and objective: the first time I came here, the service was fine and…read morewell-documented. That's why I returned. But the second visit told a very different story. I'm a woman, and I believe the shop assumed I had no knowledge of car repair pricing. I have the full digital estimate saved as screenshots, so here are the facts: TRUNK WEATHER STRIPPING Quoted: $433.08 Labor: $132.78 | Part (trunk seal): $274.44 Reality: A trunk weather seal costs $20-$60 in parts. Labor is a straightforward 30-45 min job. Fair total in CT: $100-$130 MAX. They were charging 3x the reasonable price inflating the part alone by over $200. SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT (6 cylinders) Quoted: $961.78 Labor alone: $691.03 | Parts (6 plugs + gasket kit): $213.32 Reality: According to AAA, RepairPal, and industry standards, a V6 spark plug replacement runs $150-$350 total, or up to $500 at a dealership for hard-to-access engines. Labor nationally ranges from $55-$437 they quoted $691 IN LABOR ALONE. That is simply not defensible. POWER STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR Quoted: $454.78 Labor: $182.10 | Part: $245.53 Reality: This reservoir typically costs $30-$80 in parts. The job takes under an hour. Fair total: $130-$170. They marked up the part by over $170. MOUNT & BALANCE 2 TIRES (215/60/16) Quoted: $373.74 They also added $23.79 for "Road Hazard Coverage" without asking me. Reality: Those tires run $80-$110 each at Costco or Walmart. Mount & balance is $20-$25 per tire. Fair total: ~$230-$270. I declined all four jobs. The overcharge on just these items totals approximately $1,000-$1,300 above fair market value in New Haven, CT. What I did approve (Fluid Film Treatment $199.99 and Transmission Drain & Fill $193.66) seemed within a reasonable range and I have no complaint there. If you are a woman, speak limited English, or appear unfamiliar with car repair get a second opinion before approving ANYTHING here. Bring someone with you, or check RepairPal.com for fair price ranges in your zip code before you walk in.
