I happened across these guys as I went to check out a used car being sold around the corner from there. I did a quick search online for a nearby mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection, and their shop came up. They let me bring the car in immediately and did a thorough going-over of the car. I'm glad they did, and it was the best $75 I have spent in a while, since they saved me thousands on buying a car that needed A LOT of expensive repairs. They were honest, and took their time explaining all they found. As I live in the area, I will be using them again for future repairs! Thanks Guy's!!!! read more

Chris Esposito at this shop provided exceptional service when I came to look at a vehicle for sale. He explained the condition of the vehicle in detail, realistically discussed the pros and cons of the model. He demonstrated a deep knowledge of the vehicle, as well as integrity in his business dealings. read more

Brought my sons Subaru in for an A/C issue. I had called the day before and they said to bring it in in the AM the following day. They explained that they found a leak and fixed the leak and recharged the system and sent me on my way. Guy said that we are either all set or I will be back to further diagnose. So after driving the car over the weekend the AC would blow cold air for only a few minutes and then not work very good. Called Guys and they had me bring it back in. A couple hours later Guy called to say they are pretty sure they found and fixed the issue with the clutch on the compressor not working as intended. I don't recall the par they replaced but they replaced a part on the compressor and set the clutch gap and I am happy to report the AC is working great now and my son also said his car feels like its running better. Not sure why that would be but Guy did not charge for the second visit. Totally straight forward and loved the service we got. I will definitely be a returning customer if/when we need a mechanic. read more

Guy has been in business on North Ave Bpt for over 40 years! Look up the word "honest mechanic" in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Guy. He's always gone above and beyond when servicing my vehicle. The last time I brought my car in I was sure it was something very serious and expensive but Guy made an honest assessment and fixed my car at an affordable rate. Not only that' he fixed an extra hose and my broken headlight FREE OF CHARGE! If you're looking for a VERY experienced and honest mechanic go to Guy's Automotive! read more

It's sad how the allure of money changes someone (in this case, Guy) who you thought was a trusted and skilled mechanic. I had a simple engine splash plate underneath the car get loose and just needed that replaced. As you can imagine, it's a simple job that would take a maximum of 2 hours (and that's being kind considering that this was a slow day for his shop). He tied up the loose plate underneath for the time-being with a piece of metal in order to prevent it from sliding on the ground while i drive. This would holdover until tomorrow. He told me it'd be $120 total (about $60+ for parts and the rest for labor, which I originally thought was outrageously high but I trusted his skill and experience with me in the past so I went with it--oh boy was I wrong!). He wanted a $50 deposit that would go towards the final price at the end. We were slated to do this the next day, but a few hours after first seeing him about this plate issue, I called him to ask him why the aftermarket part was so expensive because I researched online and saw that the Honda plate is about $80-$90, and I couldn't find an aftermarket one that costs more than $50. He said it's because I want it done quick the next day (considering it's not the same day, is it really quick? but ok, again, another thing I did not contest because he did a good job for me in the past) and that's the only place that sells it for next-day delivery (what place? i didn't bother to ask because, again, i trusted his previous record with me). I was standing there with him in his shop while he called to ask for the part. He didn't even call many places for the part; only one place. Looking back, I should've said something. Tomorrow's here and I dropped my car off at the time we agreed upon. I left the car there. About an hour later, he calls me from two different phone numbers asking me "hey where is your wheel lock?" 21 minutes after he called me and left a voicemail, I called him back (yes I'm looking at my call history right now). I told his secretary that the wheel lock is in the glove compartment and I told her to tell him that I would like to have the car up so that I can look underneath it to inspect the work and the new part (you'll see later at the end of this review that I never got to see the work with the car up so I can look and touch the part). 2 hours and 45 minutes after I dropped the car off, he called to tell me it was ready to get picked up. An hour went by and I went to pick it up. HERE IS WHERE GUY'S AUTOMOTIVE BECAME GUY THE SCAMMER. I entered the shop and asked Guy "hey can you have the car up so that I can take a look at it?" Guy says "lay low on the floor and look at it, it's new so you can tell." I did just that and as far as I can tell, yeah it's a newer part. I checked a few more times after, I still can't tell if it's been used but it's definitely newer than the one I had before--but that's a very low bar considering that the one I had was scraping the floor for like 20 miles going about 60-70 mph on I-95 before I brought it to him. I let that slide but I was already smelling Mr. Scammer working up tricks. I went back into the shop and Guy tells me "yeah we didn't end up using many rubber screws for the job so I'll give you a discount of $3 off that $120, so you're looking at $117." Ok, that's fine. And then here is the KICKER. Guy then says "yeah but listen, we had to go look for the wheel lock because we waited for you to call back so now the total is $167. Oh and by the way, I never was able to find the wheel lock." 20 minutes of waiting costs an extra $47? I couldn't wrap my head around this so I said "uh yeah you're raising the price by a lot, I can't accept this." He knew he was up to his BS limit (or what most people would call LYING) so he then said "ok let's meet in the middle. Let's split the $47 in half which is $24 and you can pay me $144 total" It's actually $23.50 but I agreed because at this point, I knew I would never go back to his shop. Got in my car & the wheel lock was sitting right in the glove compartment just as I explained. read more

Are you serious? We used Guy's for at least 25 years before moving out of state. He and Pete are the best mechanics; honest; straight up tell you the truth and nothing but the truth; don't charge for things you don't need but always will alert you to the things you DO and MIGHT need to keep your car running the way it should. They don't make 'em like this any more. In fact, the only ripoff I ever ran into was at dealerships, where I was more than once advised to sign up for services I neither needed nor could afford. In contrast, Guy's was the place I took our cars and left it in their capable hands to "tell me what's wrong" ... I never got a bum steer and we always were given the option of taking the low-cost route if that's what our budget dictated. An auto craftsman who runs his business on the up and up. Don't be fooled by the less than glamorous surroundings. Yes, you're in the right place! And that's that! read more

The most honest garage in Fairfield county. I have been doing business with guy for over 30 years and have bought more than 8 cars from him. I have three sons. He has sold cars to 4 of my family and friends and never a complaint. That's 12 cars. It doesn't get any better than Guys auto. read more

I was traveling down from Massachusetts to NJ when I started having wheel problems. I tried calling a number of repair shops in Bridgeport, not expecting much luck on a Saturday afternoon. Then I called Guy's. Guy himself answered, initially saying he was only there for pickups and drop-offs. But after I explained the problem he said he would take a look and see what he could do. Long story short, he installed a new axle on my German car in an hour. (The part he ordered came in 15 mins!) Before he did any work he took me under the car so I could see exactly what the issue was. Then he let me stand with him in the garage while we worked. Absolutely nothing to hide: just good, old-fashioned craftsmanship. Not only was I out of there quickly, but he charged me less than the original estimate, saying "it actually wasn't as tricky as the computer said it would be." Wish I lived in Bridgeport, because I'd be back here for sure. read more

Guy's is the best. If you care heavily about comfortable couches, readily available reading materials, a handshake and a smile, and a car that breaks down again in a couple of months, Please, go to one of the name brand chains. If instead, you care about your car running top notch with zero BS, go to Guy's. You can do no better. OK, you may not be greeted with a free sandwich and a welcoming hug, but come on. These guys fix cars, and spend all day diagnosing (often impossibly inscrutable) problems. They are busy. They work Damn hard. Go in, tell them what you need, and get out of the way. You will NOT get better work for the price anywhere in Fairfield County. They may not pat you on the head and give you coffee, but you can be sure they will treat your car as their own, feed you no lies and give you no false hope, and, in my experience, come in ahead of schedule and under-budget. Good old, no-nonsense original American integrity. I'll be back. read more

The worst mechanic ever... Simply rip off.. I was charged for something I did not ask for and this owner is rude.. Does not care about customer.. When I asked him since my knock sensor was not fixed, can I get my refund back.. The guy start to get angry and calling me unessary words.. Telling me that he doesn't want to see my ugly face because I asked him for money back.. He tried to fix broken knock sensor which he charged me 35$.. Than he told me that the sensor is fixed and install would cast another $45.. Later the same code shows and he wants still wants to charge me for the part he try to fix.. He also said that he won't give me the refund because he tried to fix it and I don't know that I would have to pay him just for trying.. Over all service is wack, rip off owner with disrespectful mouth.. Does not give a shit about his customer.. Not sure how people like this stays in business.. Under state law, he's suppose to give me a written estamate before fixing.. I was supprise when he charged me $85 for a job that took him 10min to finish.. I would ny recommend him to anyone, not even to my enemy.. Worst service I ever had and a rip off owner who took my $85 and still same problem.. I later got the job done for under $30 including brand new knock sensor I ordered online For $10 and $20 labor.. If their was a lower star than 1. I would have giving him a fat 0 read more
