I went to get my car inspected at the Autosmith the other day. Not because I heard good things…read more(just the opposite), but because I was feeling lazy and the Autosmith is close. They inspected it right away, and found that I needed new springs in the front--they said mine were broken. Their two options to fix the issue would have cost me approximately $615 (the "cheap" option) to $665. Well, folks, Tracey Phelps doesn't have $700 kickin' around, so I got a second opinion. My boyfriend, Jake, took a gander at the springs and being a car guy, noticed that the springs WEREN'T BROKEN AT ALL. The paint was peeling off, but otherwise totally fine! He then told me that the Autosmith tried to rip him off in the past and that I should head over to Bob's Auto in Essex. All in all, it cost me $65 for an oil change and inspection at Bob's Auto, as opposed to ten times that at Autosmith for work that I didn't even need. I know Autosmith is trying to expand and pay for their new stuff, but can they give their neighbors a break? I can't afford to pay for your new shop, and neither can most of us in this cruddy recession.

My family and I recently moved to Essex and received a coupon for a free oil change to Autosmith…read more Normally I do my own oil changes and wouldn't bother, but I figured why not. I was glad to see they found an issue in my front end (go figure with the wonderful roads in VT) while doing the oil change. It cost a bit more than a free oil change, but was certainly reasonable and the service was very prompt. Thank you again and I would recommend anyone to try them out for fair prices and honest quality.

*let me preface this by saying I didn't purchase a vehicle from Paya's but the service was…read moreexcellent and want to share! I visited the Colchester rd as my first stop in looking to test drive cars. While this location didn't have any cars I was interested in, the woman sent me over to their other location off Williston rd. As soon as I arrive, I see all of the cars we had talked about lined up and ready for me to test drive. This service is fast! I wondered about a new car they had brought in about what made it a rebuild, after I test drove some cars. The next day, I receive a call from the owner himself explaining everything that happens to their cars. Super transparent!

Well too start off I have to say I'm a big enough man to admit when I'm wrong I thought the tires…read morejust had no tread left at all did bring it too a local mechanic they only popped outside for second and looked I'm a car guy also a Subaru guy I know that the car came with OEM summer tires I forgot that Subaru uses low profile summers on the WRX so the tires actually have it I had to guess probably 90 percent tread left also if you are still here reading I had a tire going low and idk if it got it pick up being moved from location or if I picked it up somewhere but I have to say Carrie paya is a extremely nice honest woman that knows her stuff she mentioned low profile and was instantly in my head like oh no I messed up she then showed me on the tread gauge all the areas I watched it and they also fixed my tire at no cost after writting a bad review also the reason I'm updating it among other things but to actually have the owner step in take a look that means a lot to me that shows they care and I did purchase the car from Sam up at the Williston one and mistakes do happen I did say I was approved for a certain term I guess she applied for 6 which is standard for rebuilt titles so it happens I got it fixed easy she was very nice very professional and helpful and I guess to end this off on a quick note I apologize I was wrong and I just wanna give a shout too Sam for doing all the work and selling me the vehicle and making it smooth and I would also like to thank the owner herself Carrie paya for actually taking my concern seriously and personally meeting me at the service center to have it looked at and also check it yourself I have never in my 31 years seen a owner do that and thank you for fixing the tire at no cost to me I would highly recommend payas auto sales to anyone that was truly caring and making sure a customer was happy and if I'm ever looking for another car I'll definitely go back

Unfortunately, two other mechanics I contacted couldn't see me for 1-3 days. When Chris learned about my situation, he prioritized my car and had it on the lift first thing in the morning. He was kind, professional, honest, and reasonably priced. What stood out even more was his caring and attention to detail--he asked me to give him a heads-up before picking up my car so he could warm it up for me, knowing how cold it was outside. Chris truly went above and beyond, and he's more than deserving of this 5-star review. Thank you, Chris, and the team at Green City Garage!
