The owner, Mike, is 3rd generation of his family to manage the shop, and he treats people fairly and well. I take cars in every few years just for a checkup when nothing is wrong, and he's never recommended any unneeded work; it's almost always just the inspection time. read more

I don't trust this garage to give an honest price. They wanted almost $3000 to fix my car and would need at least 4 days. It cost almost $200 just to get that quote (which would be credited to the job if I fixed it with them). I got it fixed for $1600 the same day I brought it in elsewhere and my car is perfect. read more

The best. Always on point. We fear car repair because we are clueless in most cases Mike and his team are unquestionably delivering high levels of service. If new to area or not pleased with your current provider try him once. Then decide to go forward or not. You will be pleasantly in awe of the high level of professionalism and customer service his team delivers. read more

VERY SATISFIED. I have been taking a very old - 2003 - Honda Element "station car" to Sciaudones for the past 18 months - it was handed down to me and in need of alot of work. A small pressure valve under the manifold failed causing the engine light to activate. It was an expensive part $250 or so and then there was the labor to daignose it and replace it. The part failed about 5 months after they installed it. It turns out that the part was unavailable from Honda when they did the original repair, so they were forced to source the part from an aftermarket manufacturer, even though it is their preference to use OEM parts when they are available. When I returned the car, they were able to secure the part overnight from Honda, and they replaced it for free. I pointed out that even though the part may have been guaranteed, they would have to do all the labor etc, and eat the cost which didn't seem fair to me. Mike said that their work is guaranteed for 2 months no matter what. Great service, and Sciadones stand by their work. read more

While they were booked with repairs,they still took some time to diagnose and fix my engine problem. Very reasonable pricing and professional repairs. Fixed my wife's car also and I will be back when it's time for a tune-up. Thanks much! Another satisfied customer read more

We had an issue with our antilock break system. My husband found Sciaudone's through good online reviews. They went beyond our expectations. From start to finish, they diagnosed and corrected the problem in an efficient and cost effective manor. Mike Sciaudone himself called me himself to provide an estimate. Thank you! read more

In town to visit my daughter and her 2016 VW Tiguan needed service. Booked the appointment on-line, had to move it by one day and there were no issues. I showed up a bit before they opened, the owner welcomed me in and told me they would perform the whole service. Later that afternoon, I got a call saying the car was done, ready to go! Could not have been happier with the experience, the people and the service. We will definitely be back! read more

Bought an 'as is' car with every possible warning light illuminated. These guys are a CT version of the Mariachi Brothers of Car Talk--bring an engineer's analysis and common sense discussion of what is really essential to repair right now. read more

I have to disagree with Tippy P.' s review. As a woman who has had my cars serviced at Sciaudone's I have never felt ripped off or taken advantage of, quite the opposite. I have enjoyed having my vehicles serviced by Mike and his team and they've earned my business time and time again. It's also nice if you live in Norwalk to have a shop locally owned that you can trust, so you don't have to transport a car out of town to a dealership. Close, trustworthy and honest in my experience. read more

I'm really disappointed writing this review and very confused by the other glowing reviews Sciaudone's Garage received previously. I moved to CT a few years ago from PA and have yet to find a garage that will do an oil change that won't cost an arm and a leg and will do it with no problems. I read the reviews on here and thought, "this is it! I finally found the place I can go to." Listen, I'm a woman. I don't know much about cars. I really depend on people's honesty and integrity when it comes to this stuff so what I experienced today has me really upset. The owner is very friendly and was happy to take me last minute. He couldn't guarantee an afternoon spot for me so I came in early. They had trouble getting the oil filter cap off (it was stuck) and told me it probably needed to be broken off and replaced just so they could do the job. I found out later that that actually is common for my car (Toyota Corolla) and it probably required a specific tool, which I'm assuming they didn't have or he damaged the cap by accident and used that as an excuse. I don't know. I told them it was fine, thinking the part would be $20. When he told me my total was 150 bucks my heart sank. How could that possibly be? I usually pay 60-80 bucks for an oil change because my car requires synthetic oil. I'm used to that. Because the cap got stuck, it took longer than usual and I was late for work so I paid it without question and left. They charged me almost $70 for the oil filter cap which is essentially a plastic piece and available online for about $30. I understand that there are markups, but double the price is outrageous. They also charged me over $10 for "shop supplies." When I called back asking about this, he said it was for "rags and cleaners" and when I told my dad this, he laughed out loud. In his over 60 years of life he had never heard of a shop charging for that. So, almost $150 bucks later my oil was changed successfully but I will never ever return here. I felt like an idiot and felt like I got taken advantage of. If Sciaudone wants to do right by me and offer a refund, I am happy to update my review... but for now, this is what it is. Avoid this place. P.S. FYI Don't try to use their online appointment scheduler. I submitted a request and never heard back from them and had to actually call. Not a big deal but slightly annoying. read more

Hands down the best auto repair shop in the area (in my experience) prices are fair and the work performed in the cars is top notch. Been bringing my cars (Subaru, Mazda& Mustang) to Mike for a while now, easy to drop off and pickup the car. They'll notify if there are additional issues with the car before doing anything. read more

I was looking for a new local mechanic and came across Scaudione's Garage. I'm really pleased with my experience there. It was very easy to make an appointment and I found that they were very informative over the phone so I can know what to expect. I dropped my car off at the set date and picked it up a few hours later without issue. Mike explained everything to me in detail which was very helpful. He also texted me a few days later to see if there were any issues. I really haven't had good experiences with mechanics until now so I am really glad I found this place. read more

I could be using the first three sentence's of the reviewer who got here first. I love these guys. I first dealt with them by email when I was getting estimates--I needed a new side mirror. The price they charged for the mirror and the labor and the paint was quite reasonable. Second time I went in, it was the dreaded "weird noise." You know the one I mean, the one you can't quite pinpoint the location of, the one that could be a scraping sound or a grinding sound. Mine turned out to be tires. I talked to Mike a little bit when I picked my car up this time. His grandfather started the business, and they have some third- and fourth-generation customers. This is a business that I am proud to support. read more

When you are new in town, it's always hard to find a good garage. I found this place via the car talk website, and I couldn't be happier. They are up front, honest, and don't do excess work. Rates are reasonable and they'll tell you if they are too busy rather than taking your car and making you wait. I've taken two different cars here and was very pleased with the results, communication and cost. A coworker took a a car that was rattling in, expecting to need a new muffler or major work, they told him a bolt was loose, charged him $20 and sent him on his way happy as a clam. Not sure if they specialize in any makes or models, and they are closed on weekends but I have nothing bad to say about this place which is rare when discussing auto repair shops. read more

Four stars on Yelp is "Yay! I'm a fan." Five stars is "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" I've taken two vehicles to Sciaudone's garage and have been happy with their service and prices, so yes, I'm a fan. The jobs were small, but their labor prices were not gouging and the employees were nice. I did my due diligence in getting estimates from many other mechanics, and these guys have the most reasonable per hour wage that I've found for the quality of work they did. This week I'll be taking my second car in to have them (possibly) replace the alternator and look at leaky CV joints. I'll compare their estimates with other local garages, and will be updating this review to let you all know about the experience as it's the first major work I'll be taking to them. Assuming all goes well (which I fully expect given their ratings here) I'll be upgrading them to five stars if it truly is "as good as it gets!" Come back here for the updates so all you Yelpers can make the best informed decision when it comes to local mechanics! **UPDATE** Mike, the owner, was very forthcoming about the repairs needed for my car. He even suggested that I could wait to have the repairs done later as my CV joint wasn't in dyer need of replacement at that very moment. The alternator was dead, and their original estimate (which was WAY too high) was for the wrong part. Once everything was squared away I gave them a green light to fix everything, simply because I wanted to reward them with my business and take preventative measures. Thanks for your help, Mike! read more

This place gets good reviews for some reason and may be good for some customers. We found they gouge you whenever they can with "replacing headlights" or 'charging for disgnostics".or "shop supplies" and such. We believed the reviews here and were ripped off as what they "fixed" were not fixed. Women beware. I think they see us as easy marks. read more

We have been taking our cars here for years and Mike is always very up front with us about cost. He only works on what we absolutely need fixed and doesn't do things unnecessarily, which is a credit to the honesty of this shop. We book online 99% of the time, and have never gone more than an hour without getting a response. They have also taken the time to answer my extensive questions about what the repair is, etc. read more

After a hectic morning I accidentally punctured one of my tires on a snow bank. I needed my spare changed quite quickly so that my car was in working order for getting to a morning appointment and for picking my son up from preschool. I found Sciaudone's because it was within walking distance of the appointment, I'm so thankful! Mike was so kind and efficient and the pricing was so fair. In keeping with the hectic morning I accidentally left my purse there when I went in to pay (so embarrassing). Anyways, they called me to tell me I left it there and when I got back to their lot one of the men who work there was walking it out to me, so kind. I will most definitely use them again for any future auto needs. read more

We had our brakes on our 2008 Nissan Armada repaired here Summer 2015, after we had just moved to the area. We didn't have any personal recommendations, just went with this shop because of high ratings. Mr. Sciaudone was very polite and they did a great job communicating with us. Our brakes are still perfect and we are taking it back to get wheel bearings replaced. I would recommend this shop to anyone! read more

Good people honest and great prices. The owner answer all emails about car issues big or small. My kind of place .

Mike and Staff are the best, honest hard working guys I know! Lizzy D from Norwalk :) read more

This was my first time going to an auto shop of any kind. Typically my dad would take care of my vehicle but this issue had him baffled. I called and was give an appt the next day. Turns out it was as simple as a loose fuse! Reasonable pricing and honest work. Would recommend! read more

Great service. Responsive. Honest. Fair. These are the traits I've been looking for in a mechanic and Sciaudone's Garage has all of them. I never leave reviews on Yelp, but Sciaudone's deserves my praise. I found them on Yelp based on all the glowing reviews, and I'm happy they lived up to them. I was desperate, my car wouldn't even make it out of my condo complex, let alone to a garage. Once my car was towed to the garage (with Mike's towing recommendation), their service and guidance was top notch. My past mechanic experiences around town have definitely left me with a sour taste in my mouth, but Mike and his team were honest with me and worked to fix the problem as economically as possible. They take their time to explain the issues with you and are honest with you about all of your options. In my situation, my car's computer had been soaked (thanks to a plugged a/c drain), and instead of throwing their hands up and telling me I needed a new computer, they did everything they could to salvage my old one. As you can imagine, this saved me a ton of money in repairs. I have finally found my go-to mechanic. Thanks Mike and the guys at Sciaudone's Garage! read more

They've replaced my truck's exhaust and changed its oil. Good guys, good prices.

Excellent customer service all around from Mike and shop. First time and was impressed by excellent communication, honesty, reasonable service time and very fair pricing. Very thorough - will be back. read more

Sciaudone's staff are honestly concerned for the customer. They offer fair pricing and professional quality workmanship. They performed a full brake job on my 2001 ODDY flawlessly and came in under the quote. read more

My car overheated on the highway as I was passing through Norwalk, and I figured I'd get taken advantage of since it was an emergency. After telling me it was too late in the day (today, a Friday) Mike then took pity on me and asked one of his employees to stay late if needed. (Good thing, because Enterprise was out of cars to rent.) This will be a near-perfect car repair experience (unless the repair is screwed up--doubt it). I wish I lived nearby so I could make this my regular garage. Thank you, Mike and staff! read more

I can't recommend Sciaudone's more highly. Good mechanics and all -round good guys. Always straightforward and knowledgeable and take the time to explain things clearly. Extremely honest and fairly priced. If you're looking for a good garage, this is the place. read more

EXCELLENT service! I needed my car looked at in a short window. I dropped it off in the morning and called begging for them to look at it, and they promised to look at it. It ended up being a pretty quick fix, and they ordered the part and had it fixed right away. I was so impressed with the customer service, and all the workers were so friendly and helpful to me. I WILL be back for anything else that needs to be fixed. read more

Was worried about finding a mechanic, but after reading the reviews on Yelp we decided to try Sciaudone's... Was not disappointed at all! Our car needed quite a bit of work done as it had not been maintained, but the prices were fair and Mike and Dan only did he work that was needed. We gave them carte blanche to check everything and I think a lot of other mechanics (or retail shops) would have taken advantage but not this shop. Talk about honesty, fairness , and professionalism. It's not often nowadays you see businesses run the way they are supposed to, with integrity. It made my day to know there are still " family" businesses out there with values and morals. I would recommend this mechanic to anyone and everyone I know. And our car was returned same day! Love this place, will be back again! read more

We have been taking our cars to Sciadone's for years!.. I really trust their judgement and integrity and because I do, I feel comfortable keeping a car for a very long time.. They have been in Norwalk forever and have a well deserved reputation for good work at reasonable prices.. I would highly recommend them... read more
