Supposedly ran every test the could on my car but couldn't find the problem. Wouldn't watch the video of what my car was doing, so he could see since it wouldnt happen when he was in possession of my car. He gets offended when you try to make suggestions. Will talk over you if you don't have a male accompanying you. So Joey from briarwood decided to aggressively call my phone because I left an honest review. The diagnostic that was supposed to be free is all of a sudden $100 because he didn't like my review. I was going to pay him anyway. No big deal. It was never about the money, i just want my car fixed by so called mechanics. Never in your life call my phone talking crazy to me as if you're doing me a favor when I was attempting to support your business. Do not go here people. He's a drama king. Ladies always bring your man here because he's never as brave talking to men. I witnessed it firsthand read more

Briarwood Automotives - Joey from briarwood decided to aggressively call my phone bc I left an honest review. - Auto Repair Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

After a breakdown during travel, our car was towed to Briarwood Automotives as an AAA approved repair shop in the vicinity. Our experience was excellent. The owner and staff were courteous, professional, and efficient. Our car was repaired quickly, on the estimated schedule, and at a very fair cost. Were we local, we would definitely use Briarwood for regular car servicing and upkeep. read more

Joey treats every vehicle like his own, and it shows. Briarwood Service Center isn't just a repair shop-it's a place you can trust to keep you safely on the road. Highly recommended to anyone who wants dependable honest auto service done right. read more

They were great and cheaper than the other places that gave me quotes. Also, they are a AAA rated mechanic. As a woman, I've had other mechanics try to jack up the price with me. I'm so glad Briarwood Automotives treated me with respect. When I have more issues, I will be going back there again. read more

Really happy with the service here, the new owner Joey took great care of my twin turbo AWD BMW and worked with me the whole way with all the repairs I needed. I'm total gearhead so my car is my happy place, she's got over 180k miles, she's been on countless racetracks, got rocked in a hurricane, I take good care of her and been rebuilding her. picked her up today and she feels like her old self again. Thank you to Joey and his team definitely far exceeded my expectations read more

BRIARWOOD: EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE AND PRICING. My 2016 Cherokee Overland was stolen out of my driveway and shortly thereafter recovered by police. I recently moved to Fairfield and have not established relationships with businesses that I need to connect with. Geico rejected my claim because i did not read the fine print. Having a perfect driving record for 30 years, I did not know it was necessary to hire an attorney to help choose my policy. I am a public school teacher with minimal expendable income and this loss has financially devastated me. I contacted AAA and was referred to Briarwood. I cannot express my relief and thanks to Briarwood to being sensitive to my circumstances and going above and beyond to restore my vehicle to the best condition it could possibly be. Customer-centered, skilled, and responsible. Thank you, Briarwood. read more

See all

My experience with Briarwood Service Center, was the best service I had in a long time. It's hard to find a good honest center of mechanics , who understands you and your vehicle. My new home for my vehicle I would give them 10 stars if I could. Great Job!! read more

Joey accommodated us last minute. We received great service at a reasonable cost. I definitely recommend getting any car service done with him. read more

These guys are truly awesome! They dropped what they were doing to help a family member with car trouble who was wheelchair bound disabled veteran. They went above and beyond any expectations of service, even working late so he could be on his way to complete his 12 hour travel the next day. It is encouraging to know that folks like this are serving their community. read more

I recently had some work done the service was great and price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend my check engine light went off immediately after the work was done. Call or stop by and ask for Joey he was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions! read more

If my car broke down and AAA wanted to take me someplace other than Briarwood, I'd, I'd..... I don't know what but it would be serious. This place can take you right away, they don't overcharge, and sometimes, if the job is small (worn O ring after an oil change), they don't charge at all. The service is excellent, and they can take care of you almost immediately. Plus, they don't overcharge women of a (ahem) certain age. read more

These guys provide excellent service. They are quick to try to work on the best time available for the customer (it may not always work but they do their best). The service is top notch. They assess your problem and 99% of the time they are able to take care of it immediately, obviously everything is based upon the availability of parts. Professionalism and service are at the highest order in this establishment. Highly recommended!!! read more

My Lexus IS300 died all of a sudden late Friday night. Called AAA Saturday morning and the service technician Ron was very knowledgeable and helpful. He tried multiple things including banging on the gas tank with a mallet to see if the fuel pump was stuck. If I had it towed to a service station in Westport, Southport or Fairfield I'd still be waiting on it and a mood killing $500-$800+??? bill for labor, new fuel pump, and whatever else they can tack on.... etc. Ron recommended Briarwood in Bridgeport (a good 10 miles away) Man was it worth it. These guys diagnosed the problem, spent their time and got the car running and me back on the road Monday morning for the exorbitant fee of $165! Can't say enough about their work ethic, and honesty. And I thank Ron at AAA for finding me my new mechanics. Labor costs are $100 hour ($80 with AAA tow) and not $120-$140. Thanks to Alex, Fabian and the whole crew at Briarwood Service Center! read more

I have been a customer for years and have always been totally satisfied with their work and fees. These guys provide excellent service. I have never been disappointed. Michael R read more

Man, some pretty horrible service here yesterday. It was nice that they took my car on a Saturday morning and promised it back by noon. Not so nice that it wasn't done until 230. A number of problems: 1. Using inexperienced and apprentice mechanics to get around labor costs. 2. Servicing your friends' vehicles who came in after me, first. 3.Apparently the owner is a city council member? Good for him. Having other city council members come in and have meetings while customers are waiting for their vehicles? Not so good. 4.Telling me to wait while you talk to those city council memebrs so you can "test drive" it? Infuriating. 5.Using refurbed parts without checking with me? C'mon! Won't be going back. read more

My family, from New York, took the ferry over to Bridgeport, CT to attend our daughters Volleyball Tournament in Hartford. Our truck broke down while exiting the ferry terminal. It was a cold zero below night & panic set in. My truck was towed to Briarwood Auto Service Center (recommended by AAA) & this turned out to be a true blessing! Rick (the owner) and his assistant, Xavier went above and beyond the call of duty. They helped us in our time of despair. Rick assessed & ran a diagnostic on my vehicle & told me my truck had electrical/sensor issues that needed to be repaired, he didn't charge us a dime! He's truly a class act! I needed to return my car rental & pick up my truck on Sunday to head back to New York. The Auto shop is closed on a Sunday but Rick arraigned his assistant Xavier to meet me at the shop & he did! Xavier opened the shop, warmed up my truck, and actually followed us to the Bridgeport Ferry to make sure we arrived safely. I'm so truly grateful & will never forget the professional and above & beyond service we received. A 5 STAR review is NOT enough!! If you want honest, professional & amazing service go to Briarwood Auto Service Center you're in great hands! Thank you again gentleman, I'm forever grateful!!! read more

These guys are a life saver Broken down on Merritt parkway Friday afternoon 4 pm Towed here and they fixed me up. Excellent service Friendly and fair !!!! Back on the road in under 2 hours (Including the tow). AWESOME!! read more

Started using Briarwood Service after a recommendation from a fellow Nob Hill resident and glad that I did. Was tired of getting ripped off on labor costs at the local Honda dealer. Rick and his team are honest, courteous and willing to help out even with last minute requests for service. They do quality work at very reasonable prices. Give them a try. They are also a AAA approved auto repair shop so they really strive to be the best. read more

Our car broke down off of 15 south and we were stranded.... We were towed to this auto repair shop and assisted by Rick and his employees. They checked over the car to assess the damage, gave my dog water and made us feel like we were in good hands. They didn't take a dime for their efforts and helped us when we really needed them. Stand up guys! Cars in bad shape but Rick and company were honest and gracious in our hour of need. Would highly recommend this service station. Thanks Rick! read more

I had to have a used car I wanted to buy checked out here. I wasn't in town so I had the seller drop it off here. I only communicated by phone, but the guys had the car in with less than 24 hrs notice and gave me a thorough report when I called after the job was complete. I'm glad I chose them (based on AAA recommendation) because it turned out the car had major problems - including computer issues and a crash that Carfax hadn't reported - and he recommended I not buy it. Best of all, when I went to give him my payment information for the inspection, he said "No one is winning on this car. I'm not going to charge you." How often do you experience that?! read more

One of the best shops in ct. great place, great service, the techs are always 2 steps ahead of the game thanks a lot guys .

They are reliable and reasonable. End of story! My car was found to have a pebble stuck in it a d making an incredible amount of noise. They didn't charge me a cent highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

Did an excellent job on my vehicle. Had a broken belt. Fixed it and gave it a tune up. Price was reasonable. I haven't been to a better mechanic in a long time read more

Horrible place. Would not recommend this place to anyone. They told me there was nothing wrong with my car. It was making a squealing noise, I knew it was my brake pads, was told no they are fine. Just got my brake pads done and was shown how there was nothing left to them. How can you miss that??? Don't go there for service on your car read more
