I've never had to get my own car serviced and repaired before so I wanted to know that I was in good hands. I went on facebook and asked the harbor point group what people recommended for auto repair and the great reviews of scottys caught my eye. I called up scottys and they let me know they were booked for the next 2 days (it was the first) but they said to drop it off and that they would do their best to look at it beforehand. sure enough I got a call the next day with a breakdown of what needed to be done. They gave me an estimate which was HALF WHAT THE JEEP DEALER QUOTED US, plus it didnt include some of the nonsensical stuff they suggested to fix that scottys said did not need to be done. ultimately they were able to get everything done before we headed out for vacation. when I went to go pick it up, they had admitted there was a communication error and that it wasnt ready just yet and that it would be another hour or so. I mentioned that I had just took an uber and had a lot of other things to try to work on and to see if they could try to give me an accurate time estimate. the guy there (isaac i think) just handed me a set of keys and said heres a loaner ill call you! that alone made this a 6 star experience! talk about admitting to a mistake and making up for it with phenomenal service. anywho, i know where ill be getting my oil changed moving forward! thank you guys!

After telling me they were going to waive the diagnosis fee, they took three hours to diagnose the problem and falsely told me I needed to get multiple different things replaced, costing over $2800. After telling them I was going to try and get a 2nd opinion, they charged me $180+ just for the diagnosis. I am now getting it fixed at another place for less than $1000. These guys are thieves!

We ended up needing to stay at a hotel until the morning, and rolled into Chris's at opening. Alex and his team managed to squeeze us in and fixed our problem within an hour, turns out the mechanic that replaced my tires 2 weeks prior had neglected to tighten the lug nuts and my wheel was falling off. By the time we got in, my car only had 2 loose lug nuts preventing my wheel from rolling down the street. Only charged $45 for the repair and saved us from having to spend all day in CT or having to drive home and back! Glad we broke down here and got excellent service!

I brought my 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC to Chris's Auto Repair on Jan 17 2025 for an oil change…read moreand diagnostic for a suspected defunct front axle and oil leak. Two weeks later I was told the timing-chain kit, oil-pump, upper & lower oil-pan gaskets, crank seal, water pump, right motor mount, both front axles, plugs, and "misc. seals." needed to be repaired. The cost estimate was $4,964 . I emphasized that my car was worth less than that at 107K miles and I wanted absolute certainty the repairs would address all the current issues the car was having. I was assured by Alex that the car would be fully repaired and functional without any issues. Immediately after pickup the car began constant misfires and hesitation between 5-25 mph. I gave him the benefit of the doubt (a mistake) and continued to allow their shop to work on rectifying their "repair". I returned it four times over the next month, each time reporting the same stumble. The shop dismissed it, saying their techs "didn't feel it as often." They never road-tested long enough to reproduce the problem. On the fourth return they assured me the transmission was fine after "cleaning corrosion on the harness." 24 hours later, while my pregnant wife was driving to pick up our toddler's birthday cake, the transmission cooler hose blew off, dumping every drop of ATF and stalling the car in traffic. The tow truck driver and two independent mechanics later confirmed that clip failures like this point to careless reassembly, not random bad luck. Back at the shop the story changed: the owner now said the transmission was "no good" and had to be replaced--directly contradicting what he told me the day before the leak. I had to pay out of pocket for a used 2016 4MATIC transmission, six quarts of genuine MB fluid, a filter, and another week without a car. Another $1000 to repair something the shop broke. Funny how that works. After installation the original misfire never changed--300-plus miles later it's exactly the same. Alex's explanation? "The transmission needs to learn; just keep driving." In other words, drive a malfunctioning car so the shop doesn't have to diagnose it. Now I have new problems: loud clanks while braking and turning, a bang when backing out of the driveway, and the car pulling right when braking in a straight line. Alex says "it needs right and left lower control arms ". The same control arms he looked at upon the initial assessment prior to first repair, stating they were worn but still "good". Now they've suddenly failed (another $2K) and insists that has nothing to do with the previous work or the transmission incident. The 6 times it's been back in that shop. Quite the concidence. After five visits, 4 tows (the ANNUAL limit for AAA. Thanks Alex) , two rental cars, and more than $7,000 spent, the vehicle is less safe than when it arrived. When discussing with Alex, he continues to deny accountability. Negligence, shifting stories, and zero accountability--this has been a financial and safety nightmare. If you value your car, your time, or your peace of mind, avoid Chris's Auto Repair. Reference to Reddit thread I created explaining issues. https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicAdvice/comments/1jm394b/had_5k_worth_of_work_done_on_my_2015_c300_cars/ Overwhelming opinion : Transmission hose incident = proof of improper reassembly. It doesn't just happen 1-2 days later after being "assessed". See you in court
