After a recent 50 minute drive the "Check Tires" light on the dash went on. The next day I called Burns and they were able to take a look at the tires the same day. I drove over, handed John the keys and he pulled it into his bay at the rear of the garage. He quickly checked each tire and found that all of them had low psi. He filled each to the proper pressure and was done in 5 minutes. He drove my vehicle around to the front and handed me the key. No charge. I gave him a small token of my appreciation which brought a smile to his face and a strong sincere handshake. It is these little things (not to mention the big ones) that make Burns Auto Repair indispensable to my family and the rest of the Newtown community.

Paul has worked on my car a few times and he is very friendly and explains exactly what he did so you understand the problem and how it was fixed, i've never had any problems with any of the mechanics. He has also offered me a lot of advice to avoid future issues. Being a woman I really like this quality in an auto shop. I don't feel like i'm getting my strings pulled while i'm there like at many other auto services. Sometimes, as a woman, you can be taken advantage of when it comes to what is really wrong with your car but Frank's has never ripped me off!

Veteran Price-Gouged $1,900 for One Week - Disgraceful…read more If I could put ZERO stars I would. As a U.S. military veteran, I've dealt with my fair share of tough situations, but nothing prepared me for the blatant price gouging I experienced with this towing company. My car was held for just one week, and they charged me $1,900 -- yes, you read that right. No clear breakdown, no explanation that made sense -- just an inflated bill and a rude attitude when I questioned it. They showed zero respect or empathy, even after I explained I was a veteran just trying to get my vehicle back. This company is clearly preying on people when they're most vulnerable. The lot was disorganized, customer service was beyond unprofessional, and the whole process felt like a scam wrapped in a legitimate business license. To treat anyone like this is wrong -- to treat a veteran this way is disgraceful. Avoid this place like the plague.

Since moving to Newtown in 2011, I have taken my cars to Ryan's Auto Repair for any and all needed…read moreservice and/or repairs. Why? Excellent, honest, professional, accurate, fair service! Whenever I have had a problem that seemed potentially major to me, Ryan often has been able to find a simple solution! It goes without saying that not every mechanic (or every business) would do that, especially knowing that the client/customer thinks there is a big problem! ... When he can, Ryan will tell me what to do the next time I experience a similar problem so that I don't need to make a service appointment. Often, Ryan will go above and beyond the call of duty. For example: Ryan often has offered me a ride home when I've dropped my car off for service, and I typically decline his kind offer and walk home (about 2 miles) or to my gym. On one occasion, when I was going to walk home in inclement weather after dropping my car off for service, Ryan insisted that he give me ride home and then, later that day when my car was ready, he picked me up at my house! Talk about going above the call of duty! Although I know that Ryan does not do body work, on one occasion I asked him for a recommendation for someone who does body work. I showed him the dent near the front, driver's side wheel well. Ryan worked his magic and removed the dent to the point that it was virtually unnoticeable. I no longer needed a body shop! I have nothing but great things to say about Ryan and his team. Without hesitation, I recommend Ryan's for routine service, simple or complex repairs, or an evaluation of or opinion about your vehicle!

I happened to look over at the fuel pump (it's on the passenger side and I'm the driver) and noticed it was almost full of 87! He'd walked away so I couldn't get his attention. When I questioned him, he said, "Yes, I put in 87." When I told him I asked for 93, he looked at me dumbfounded. He should have been paying closer attention to me because all he could say was it won't hurt for one tank or I could go and buy octane booster. He should have offered to do that right then and there. I'm extremely angry and his one tank excuse does not justify him not paying attention. This better not damage the engine of the Volvo!

Email sent on 8/13/18 with no reply at all:…read more XXXXXX, I hope you are well and now that some time has passed, I wanted to write you in a very calm, polite, and 'matter of fact' state. After I did all of my research, I wanted to write you and advise you what the outcome is regarding the situation that you left me with in which I was more than upset. My research included things I found online as well as other professionals in your industry and even trained Jeep technicians. 1. I went back to the last one who touched my car before it went to you. I was told that they put the lugs on by hand BEFORE tightening. Therefore any 'cross threading' would not be possible at all. 2. Even if it was 'cross-threaded,' there are ways to get it off without the method your shop had chosen. 3. My research has told me that common lug sizes are in whole numbers. Example would be a 22 or 23 size. a. My Jeep takes a 22.5 size which is not that common, but is available through some vendors. b. Using the next size up (23) would cause the stud to break. 4. What you described to me in a repair of $1,600 was ludicrous as here is what I paid for it to be repaired: a. $21 for the stud and lug (at a Jeep dealer) b. $180 for a used rim c. $244 in labor to remove the wheel, open the hub assembly, and properly fit the stud in place. I know you told me that the rim was $688 for a new one and I found one for more than $500 less since it was used, but with the rest of the numbers you were going to try and charge me $900 more than what the job costed me. Furthermore, the broken stud did NOT need to be removed the way that your guys destroyed the wheel AND I now completely believe that this whole thing was a fault of your shop. Additionally, I asked you to save the lug once removed so I could go back to the other shop that did the work last. That was supposed to happen, but when I came to get the car you told me it was thrown away. You have taken a 20 year relationship and dismissed it since you chose not to work with me on this issue and just 'washed your hands' of even the possibility that your shop may have caused the problem. You did this after telling me that it was not safe to drive with only the 4 studs and did not want to release the car to me. You then simply demanded I come to get it. So if it wasn't safe, why would you put someone's safety at risk? In the end there are many places to go and get auto service. Your shop was one that I always tried to solicit due to our past relationship. However, moving forward I do not think it is necessary as this was the first problem encountered and I see with my own eyes how you take care of problems that only cost me less than $450 to fix at retail. --XXXX
