I went here last week(6/30/2013) to get my down pipe repaired. I was actually referred to this…read moreparticular shop from another auto repair place. The service here is pretty good, and I appreciated the fact that they gave me a ride to and from my apartment. The actual repair that I had to get done was to have a piece of my down pipe replaced and welded. I hit something on the highway that made a put a huge hole in it. Anyways, I was happy to find out that they would only charge me $150 for parts and labor. Definitely alot cheaper than I expected. My only complaint about this business is that when you call to follow up on a repair, it seems as if they don't know what you are talking about even if you explain you are getting your car repaired. Other than that, I recommend this place to anyone who needs some weld work done. Not sure how they are with other services. PROS: -inexpensive -will give you rides to and from your place(if it's close enough) CONS: -sometimes the receptionist or even other workers there sound lost and confused.

I have been going to Joe's Auto Electric II since the year 2017. I had never been to a privately…read moreowned mechanic shop before. I had always gone to the big dealership. I heard very good things about Joe's Auto Electric and decided to try them by having them service my electric window on driver side. They fixed it at a very reasonable price. From there I began to bring my car for oil changes and general maintenance and repairs. I own a 2004 Toyota Camry with 240,000 miles. Joe's Auto Electric has now been servicing this car for the past 7 years. Whether it is a basic oil change, replacing brakes and rotors, tune-ups, power steering issues, etc., they can do it all. You really get personalized attention from the owner, John, to the Service Manager Steve Baltas, to the Admin Assistant/front desk - Melissa, they are all very friendly, very courteous and very respectful. I can always count on their HONESTY!! I now bring 4 vehicles to Joe's Auto Electric to be serviced. When it comes to a CLEAN OIL CHANGE, no one is better than Joe's Auto Electric. When you get your car back after they have changed the oil, there is NO DRIPPING of OLD OIL that was drained which most places this is a problem. These folks wipe down EVERYTHING after they change the oil so there are no oil drips onto your driveway or garage floor. The mechanics/service technicians are very experienced and knowledgeable. They know their cars and they know how to repair them very well. YES, I TRUST JOE'S AUTO ELECTRIC and would recommend them to anyone looking for an Auto Mechanic that is HONEST, RELIABLE, and performs OUTSTANDING QUALITY WORKMANSHIP - you should go to JOE'S AUTO ELECTRIC II located IN MIDDLETOWN, CT - 5 STARS.

Close to the end of the day I placed a call to Lyon's towing in Elmwood. Despite being late in the…read moreday a pleasant, calm, resourceful driver came out to help with a side wall tire blow out. What would have been a simple flat tire fix became complicated because I only have a tire inflation kit VS a "real" spare tire. Now what? The driver said his solution would be to tow us to Town Fair Tire to see if they could fix a side wall tire blow out and sadly Town Fair could not. As I understand it, no one can fix a side wall tire blow out. Town Fair was closing by then but the driver volunteered to stay late at his garage to replace our destroyed tire with a new tire we bought at Town Fair. And he did, balanced it , checked if the tire pressure display was working and we drove off costing less than I imagined! I was impressed how calm and unhurried this driver was so late in the day.

Jack Lyons owns this small auto repair shop (part of the Route 66 gas station). I went there based…read moreon a recommendation from a friend. Reading other reviews online, you can easily see that Jack has a reputation of being a really honest, trustworthy mechanic, and based on my experience, it is well deserved. I've brought my car here twice, and have always been treated well. The prices have also been very reasonable. The only thing preventing me from giving them 4 or 5 stars is that it takes a long time for them to fix your car/diagnose problems. They do have bigger shop that they send cars out to for major repairs in Bloomfield, but they have such a small staff that it still takes a long time. They have a large volume of customers due to their good reputation, but you'll need to give them a day or two of advance notice before bringing it in to get looked at, and unless you can get someone to drive you around, you'll need to bring it back for another day or two for the actual repairs. It's not a bad location for waiting around if you have to because it's in Bishop's Corner. You can do grocery shopping, go out to eat, grab a coffee, or even go clothes shopping at Marshall's. :) The other thing preventing 4 or 5 stars is that sometimes they forget to call you to tell you the problem(s) they found, and also whether or not your car will be ready for you at the time you initially specified. I've come twice to get my car, and they had to call the Bloomfield shop to remind them to come drive it back to West Hartford so that I could have my car back. Overall, they do their best with a small workforce, and do good, honest work. To me that is worth the long waits!
