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.

My father just got his car from this place and paid 800.00 and the car is still not fixed. I will…read morebe filing a complaint on this company ASAP with Consumer protection.

On a rainy day in New Haven, I was late for work and, against my better judgment, I drove my '04…read moreCRV through what looked like a shallow puddle and ended up being, for all intents and purposes, a lake! The interior of my car became flooded up to my ankles. I drove around looking for a place that would hopefully be able to at least get the inside dry so that it wouldn't start to stink in my car. I happened upon One Stop, and instead of making me feel like a jack@$$, which would have been well-warranted, they were very helpful and vacuumed out the interior of my car. The floor mats needed extra time, and so they offered to hang them up in the shop for a couple days free of charge. Upon my return to pick them up, I brought the guys some coffee, which is nowhere near enough to thank them for their kindness. In the future, I will most definitely be taking my car to One Stop for repairs. Thanks, guys! I've attached a "before" picture for your comedic entertainment.

I went to one stop the first time back in 05 with an Audi a6 that was making a horrendous noise…read morewhen I turned the wheel to the right. I remember I left it with Bill and went away on vacation for two weeks. I got back to an unanticipated $100 bill for something very minor. From that day on I have never gone to another mechanic. His work is always nose on and he's always been honest with me. I can't speak high enough and give enough praise to Bill and One Stop. Being a Realtor who puts 40k + miles a year on my cars I have been there quite a bit.

My family and I have been going to Firestone locations in New York and Connecticut for years for…read moreour auto service and tire needs. I took my car to Firestone in New Haven, CT because I was hearing a grinding noise as I drove. I had been having the problem for a while and took the car there once before, but I wasn't able to give them the proper amount of time to figure out the issue. Once I was able to afford more time, they were able to figure out that cupping of the tires was causing the problem. All 4 tires were under warranty, so they replaced them at no cost. They also did a free alignment (of course, I have a lifetime alignment with Firestone) and threw in installation and taxes for no charge! I walked away with four new high quality tires for free! And the car now drives like it's floating on air. You can't find this level of consideration, honesty, and service anywhere else. Sure, things go wrong from time to time. And it can get expensive. But I trust the technicians at Firestone are being honest with me. I appreciate the consistently high level of courtesy and professionalism from the staff at the New Haven, CT Firestone. They have earned my trust. They make sure that I have the peace of mind that my family is safe. And that's beyond valuable to me.
