Got to use their car which was nice! Could have even used one of their helmets but I had my own. Felt safe the entire time! Left with a new found confidence in my driving skills.

I got my husband 5 laps in a Ferrari for his birthday via Groupon. You can schedule a time slot…read moreonline, but be forewarned that it took about 1.5 hours after his scheduled time to get into a Ferrari. They definitely have a well-oiled machine here. You sign in and accept or decline extra insurance before you actual see the track - and realize that you really do not have to get extra insurance because there's no way you're going to lose control of the car. Their professional photos (at extra cost) are nice, but if you come equipped with your own camera and are ready to shoot, you can easily get a similar photo. There's a mini safety discussion - well before you actually get into a car - where they try to off one of the less desired cars onto you so your wait is shorter. (It works for some.) In the car, there is someone else driving with you, and he is doing the paddle shifting for you. The whole experience goes by in a wink. I think my husband would definitely rate his overall experience higher than I am, but I had different expectations about the spectator experience. Be ready to wait. Be in the moment as much as you can, because it's over very quickly.

Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut hosts a variety of "Exotic" and "Corvette"…read moreexperiences thru their in-house company. They also do a Miata Race School, complete with the option to rent one of their Spec Miatas for the day. You can also bring your own racecar, but don't show up in an uncaged track day car with regular seats and belts and expect to run it. Great day, extremely enlightening, and I appreciated being able to drive someone else's car for the day without needing to worry about prepping my own. Wheel to wheel racing is intense. And the instructors really gave us hell throughout the day. Hanging in our blind spots, running three wide down the straight, inches from either side of us, just generally showing off and trying to make us uncomfortable. At the end of the day you pass or fail. If you pass, you're eligible to submit for an SCCA Novice Racing Permit with which you can race in almost any SCCA event. Race three events within two years and you can apply for your Full Competition License. Not sure whether or not I'll go further down the rabbit hole, but it was really fun to check out. All-in, with a rental car and $1k deductible insurance the total cost was about $1,300 for the day. It's about $500 or $600 if you bring your own race car. But again, it's got to be a race car, not a track car.

We have never really used an auto repair shop, seeing as he does it all, yet this was one thing that needed to be done after replacing the transmission. One word : IMPRESSED. Quick and friendly service and honest opinions about the car - which is really appreciated - you don't always see this when going to a auto shop. If you are looking for ANY car service needs, go to Essex County Auto Repair. Highly recommend and we will be back if we need to be. Bravo!

And one should be able to read these 2 men at that shop and understand the process if you are half-street smattered. One day, this guy is the owner, and the next month the other guy is, depending on who you have contracted your botched repair with. The game is too long to explain. Save yourself the disappointing and expensive experience. They are con men. These 2 guys at that garage appear to be in financial trouble and are in to screw every Porsche owner. They, or at least the first owner, have been around for a long time, so many older Porsche owners tend to have gone to that shop for services. They ARE NO AS LONGER KNOWLEDGEABLE AS other alternatives. Save your time and your well-being, do not waste your time and your well earned money with these folks! The absolute worst!

I'm updating my review to reflect the full experience with Pete's Garage…read more My car was towed in for a stuck gear shift. After nearly a week before it was inspected, my mom--who was in contact with Scott throughout--was told the shifter cable was BROKEN and quoted $600 for the repair, plus about $200 for the new part, taxes, an oil change, and other related expenses, bringing the total estimate to around $800. At no point was debris mentioned. We got a second opinion at a garage on High Street in Danvers. They inspected the car the next day and said they performed a thorough assessment. They found nothing wrong with the shifter cable. Instead, they found a large walnut lodged against the cable, along with other debris, preventing it from shifting. After cleaning it out and completing the oil change, the car worked perfectly. Total cost: $50. AFTER this review was posted, Eric contacted us and said the shifter cable had come out of position and might eventually break--information that was NOT shared during the original diagnosis or almost week of communication my mom had with Scott. Being quoted close to $800 for a repair that ultimately wasn't necessary, and only receiving a fuller explanation AFTER speaking out publicly, raises serious concerns for us about the thoroughness and reliability of the initial assessment
