[Copied from my Google review] These guys are fantastic--and as a past technician and present-day avid German car DIYer, it takes a lot for me to say that about an auto shop. Friendly, knowledgeable, articulate and no BS customer service, Chris and the technicians will take the time to properly explain or show you what you need to know about your car, and are happy to give out a few pro tips. In terms of the quality of work--top notch. As good or better than the dealership, only without all the dubious scare tactics and up-selling. What really seals the deal for me though, is the attention to detail. I can't express how hard this is to come by among auto shops. This shop services high-dollar and race-prepped Porsches all day long, but if you bring them a Volkswagen they will treat it and you with the same level of respect. Are they more expensive than the monkey wrench-wielding dude at the corner gas station? Yes they are, but if you own and and appreciate German cars, you understand the TLC they require. If you own a German car and live in the vicinity, I can't think of a good reason not to have your car serviced at SST. read more

Would be 10 stars if I could... My Volvo S80 was towed here after breaking down on I-84 on a Sunday. It was President's Day Weekend - I wasn't even sure if the shop would be open on Monday, but I dropped my key in the key drop and left a message on the office phone. Within a couple of hours I received a call back from Spencer, assuring me that they would look at my car first thing in the morning. On Monday morning I spoke with Chris the mechanic, who explained everything to me, and @ 24 hours after my car was towed there, it was repaired and I was safely on my way back home to Pennsylvania! I only wished I lived closer to SST because I would have my car serviced there always! Seeing that I was from out of state, they could have taken their time, and they could have overcharged me - but in either case, SST was very efficient and more than fair. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I highly recommend SST Auto! read more

Great service. I have been looking for a shop that was close to me that could work on my car and a shop that knows what they are doing on the Benz and wouldn't gouge me. They work on very high end German performance cars and I just have a stock Benz but they still did great work and are very knowledgeable. I felt they are very honest, didn't try to make up work like many of the other shops. The car was returned to me driving and feeling great. When I had just an oil change done and they reset the service warning message, most shops are not able to do that and the dealer want 175 just to clear the service message if you choose not to have the service done. Great shop with great people, if you drive a German car of any performance level I highly recommend them (I'm not sure, they may even work on non-German cars) read more

I don't have the nicest car these guys work on. I don't spend nearly as much money as 80% of their clientele; but I get great service on it and I have zero complaints about any of the work they've done. They are definitely not the cheapest shop around, but I think they are an excellent value. I know that they will do it right and it'll only need to be done once. I know they'll give me a straight answer about my options and I've never felt like they've pushed work unnecessarily. Plus, having mechanics who typically work on track and race cars means they know what performance mods will add to the enjoyment of the car, which are a waste of time, which are fragile, and which ones will make it faster on a track but ruin your daily drive. I'd trust Chris's opinion on anything BMW. read more

I should have gone to SST first! I have an older Audi and have been to 2 dealers for repairs over the years. The last repair effort cost me over $2000 for a "defective instrument cluster" and I still ended up with warning lights that would never go out. After many visits to solve the problem, I finally gave up due to lack of confidence that the dealer knew what they were doing. Fast forward....I went to SST Auto for an A/C issue and they noticed the lights, diagnosed the issue (very fixable) and got me on my way. The car runs perfectly and the light problem was finally resolved. Courteous, extremely professional team at fair prices. They even washed my car prior to pick up. SST will be my first stop for everything in the future! Thanks! read more

I was recently referred to SST with what I thought were some major problems with my A4. As a last resort, I spoke with Chris and brought the car in for him to take a look at...see if it was in my best interest to fix it. I dropped it off in the morning and that same morning received a call from Chris with the news. The car did NOT have the major problems that another "reputable" car dealership told me it had..but instead was a relatively easy fix. Chris quoted me a price and told me he could have it back to me the next day. When I went to pick it up...the price was exactly as he quoted me and the car was washed and waxed. The car runs like new! I won't go anywhere else and would highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone! read more

I recently relocated back to Connecticut and was looking for a professional and trustworthy shop to work on my 2008 VW GTI. I spoke with Chris on the phone and set up an appointment, I have had required services done and the service has been excellent, no matter who I speak to on the phone, whether it is Spencer, Chris, or Rachel they are professional, accommodating, and their level of customer service is always terrific. The quality of the work, follow up, and communication with me on each aspect of the work done is first rate and I would highly recommend them to anyone who appreciates this level of quality and performance. Thanks to all the good folks at SST. Ron Alberico Southbury, CT. read more

This was my first experience at Speedsport Tuning, but it won't be my last. Brought my 2015 BMW in for a rear brake job. The appointment was within days, the work was done in a morning, everything was as promised, on time, and in my opinion was a good value. BMW no longer sells station wagons in the US, so I'm looking to keep this car a long time. With dealer service prices, I'm not sure how long I could do this. In terms of both cost and turn around time, I found SST to be a superior alternative to having my car serviced at the dealer. It's been 24 hours, and everything works perfectly, the car came back clean, and the service reminder was even reset. Well done! read more

WOW ! What a Find only 20 minutes from Westport. I saved over $500. on a service and they found a defect in my engine that was not found by my dealer. Brian gave me a tour of this spotless large facility. Not only do they work on Porsche, Audi and other top foreign brands, they also service and rebuild real race cars that I saw up close. highly trained and skilled mechanics. I rarely recommend BUT You can have 100% confidence with the people at SST. Gave me a price and finished the work ahead of schedule. Very Very Profesional and hospitable. I will bring all my cars here. Thank You Brian. read more

SST Auto is hands-down the best automotive shop with which I've done business. I had a PPI done by them earlier this year and they did a very thorough job, spotting potential problem areas but convincing me I had a car worth purchasing. I recently had work done on another car and they were very competitively priced with superior service. In between, their shop manager Bryan has been ready and willing to answer questions about troubleshooting my car. I live in Boston and SST is a three-hour drive away, but well worth the trip for the level of service they provide. I highly recommend them! read more

I'm writing a review after about 8 or 9 visits last 3 years for 2 of my cars. Service provided are general maintenance, supercharger oil service, thermostat replacement, CV joint repair, new control arms, etc. Until I started using SST auto after moving to a home without a garage, I was doing all basic maintenance and simple repairs myself due to lack of trust in dealerships from past experience. During all visits, Chris Saharek was always professional and communicative. All services and repairs were done perfectly. Everything was above my expectations. I highly recommend SST auto. read more

I have a 2001 740il BMW with only 108K miles in prestine condition and when there are any issues I can count on Chris to manage the entire spectrum of possibilities causing them. He explains everything in detail and only fixes what are the true issues and not any other minor possible issues like dealers. I have had complete confidence over many years in Chris's expertise in guiding the teating and analysis required to completely erradicate any repair issues. Using Chris means that you will always get the proper mechanical solution everytime! read more

This was my first visit to the shop and I will definitely go back to them. From the very first contact (Chris - asking excellent questions on the phone about the problems i was having) to when I got back in my car after the repair (cleaned inside and outside) I was extremely impressed and very pleased. They diagnosed and fixed my used 2009 Mini Cooper quickly and reasonably. I feel pretty lucky because I only learned about them from a mailer that came to the house. I will definitely spread their name via word of mouth. read more

I called to discuss ways to improve the performance of my 2001 Audi TT. Chris had a great idea, install a stage 1 chip upgrade to improve power and torque, replace some leaking hoses, new spark plugs and I was all set. The car performs amazingly better. The most power it has ever had. Additionally, as a bonus, I am actually getting better gas mileage. The people at SST are really into what they do and it shows. If you want what's best for you and your European car, bring it to SST. You will be impressed! read more

Several close friends recommended that I visit SST when I needed some tires and basic service for my Porsche. I was impressed by my service manager, Brian, from the start. He was very thorough and asked lots of questions to better understand what I expect from my car before making recommendations. In the end, the products and services met or exceeded my expectations and their prices were fair. I will definitely bring my Porsche to SST and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. read more

Moved here two years ago and when I arrived ,like so many of us, didn't know where to find good auto service for my bimmer. By serendipity I was at a gas station near my house and asked the attendant if he knew of a place I could take my car in. He didn't hesitate in giving me SST Auto. I went the next day and have taken my car since. These guys know what their doing. The job is done right and they assure the car is optimum before handing the car back. They are the best of the best!! read more

I have been bringing my Porsche to Spencer and crew for the past few years. I now bring my VW Toureg there for service. They are a great group to deal with and have been very honest with me. At times taking me back to go over the car and work. I was recommended by a friend to them and glad that I choose them for the work. One big plus is that they garage the cars every night, helping with any anxiety. I would highly recommend them for all service needs. Chris K. read more

2006 750li, Bethel CT First time I used this shop and was very good, I had done a transmission + differential srv and even though its just maintenance I still want someone to do it right (which is hard to find), I went back 3 weeks later for a follow up and all the work they did was 100% good, they found a vacuum pump leak which Ill have them take care of on my next visit, I will post how they'll do. Excellent work ethic and overall honesty makes it %100 in my review. read more

SST Auto did an excellent job in repairing my 2006 Audi A8. I would highly recommend you consider them for your Foreign car needs. They repaired my car onTime and under the estimate. Give them a try!
