Kent, the owner, is extremely honest and fair when it comes to any repair recommendations & required preventative maintenance, with regards to my Mini Cooper. My areas of expertise do not pertain to automobiles. I need to be able to rely on knowledgeable people ~ whom I trust; which I can comfortably do so, at EAh. The feeling I get when I leave the shop is utter satisfaction; knowing that the 'job' has been well done and that my safety is taken care of. I never worry that my car will breakdown or that it won't start. That feeling has tremendous value Thank you Kent for providing such a fantastic service to the community

While this is second-hand information (my brother observed this, not me) I am having him read this…read moreto make sure I got the story straight. He has no ties to Fairfax other than me, but I do. I love this town, and I know that things like this matter to our community. My brother brought my vehicle in to Tinker's Auto on 7/21/2020 for an oil change and state inspection. It was the first time I'd brought a vehicle to them, but knew they were a newer business and wanted to support my neighbors. For full transparency, my car didn't pass inspection. They didn't charge me for the inspection either (which was a pleasant surprise and I really appreciated)! So this review has nothing to do with that. One of the owners, Nickie Tinker, was at the front desk. There are bags of locally-sourced popcorn that customers can purchase. Another customer was at the desk talking to Nickie about this while my brother was waiting, and Nickie starts talking about how when she was a kid, they used to call the burnt popcorn kernels "niiiii---- heads". She didn't actually say the word, but turned to my brother and said "What were they called?" She was trying to get my brother to say it for her. My brother, not wanting to engage, said "I have no idea what you're talking about". Nickie then half-said the word again, and said something to the extent of "We're not supposed to say that any more." After my brother recounted the story to me, I posted on Facebook to (my friends only) asking for advice on how to handle this. Someone evidently told Nickie about my plan to publicize my brother's experience. She called me via FB messenger twice on Sunday (7/26) before 9am, and then wrote me a message (see screenshots). It is clear that she doesn't remember what she said that day. But she does recount how that while she is not a racist, she does condone racist conversation in her place of business. If you don't take issue with this sort of thing, by all means, give these people your money. But if you expect better from your neighbors, maybe choose to have your vehicle serviced elsewhere.

I was called by the owner and told I needed brakes and rotors all around even tho I had just replaced the front rotors and pads last fall. I gave him the ok and got sticker shock when I saw he had charged me $ 300 labor for a job I know should take less than an hour for all four wheels. He races cars and had wrecked his car a day before so maybe he used me to repair his race car. Regardless he does do good work but at $300 an hour labor I'll go elsewhere next time.

After a week we finally received a call with a costly repair estimate. We decided to get a 2nd opinion and paid for another tow truck to go to Handy's to bring the truck for a 2nd opinion. The tow truck arrived to be sent away by the service department. After not hearing from the 2nd service shop we called and were told it never arrived. When we called Handy's we were told yes your truck is here , we told the tow company to leave because you owe $179.00. No one called or emailed us we owed any money. When asked why we were never called to be given the chance to pay before sending the tow truck away we were given 3 different answers. 1. Billy called but you didn't answer. We have no record of this call 2. We thought we saw the tow truck driver on the phone so we assumed it was with you. 3. Maybe we called the wrong number. Poor customer service and questionable business practices at best. I was told by the owner that sometimes they have employees in service that are good at repairs but not with customer service. Unacceptable answer. We immediately paid the $179 when we became aware of the bill and paid for a 2nd tow cost because Handy's refused to pay for the tow they turned away. We purchase new truck from Key in South Burlington and received excellent customer service.
