“Mark’s United Auto Parts in Colchester is the real deal. This family-owned shop perfectly blends the huge inventory of big chain stores with that warm, old-school personal service you just can’t find anymore. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable — they’ve helped me track down everything from brake pads and suspension parts to hard-to-find ignition components for both my truck and other foreign cars.
What sets them apart is how they actually take the time to listen and get you the right part the first time. Whether I’m doing a simple DIY oil change or a bigger project, they’ve always steered me straight. They mix paint right on site, offer custom color matching, and carry everything from filters and exhaust systems to hub bearings and full rebuild kits. Prices are competitive, and the counter guys are friendly, patient, and clearly love what they do — you can tell they all work together like a tight-knit team.
If you’re tired of big-box stores where nobody knows anything, do yourself a favor and head to Mark’s. Local, trustworthy, and they stand behind every part they sell. This is exactly how auto parts shopping should be.”
“I was having battery problems. My terminals were badly corroded and my car was stalling out. I brought my car to Auto Zone and Harley did a really great job of cleaning them and getting me the kit I needed. Thank you so much Harley. I really appreciate it.”
“I stopped in for standard car stuff. The folks inside are always helpful. I got oil and granny fluid. Then i remembered I didn't have my funnel in the van so I needed to buy one. Thats when I saw these screw on spouts that fit the oil bottle! Game changer! I bought a different color for each fluid!”
“Hands down best experience I have ever had at a dealership. The whole staff was super accommodating from sales to management to financing. I just came in to inquire about a financing special and their team worked hard to get me a deal I could handle considering my circumstances. I had to bring my family with me and everyone went above and beyond to make them feel welcome. No pressure, just good people trying to do the right thing. This is the type of experience you want from a dealership. I shopped around to multiple Toyota dealerships and these guys for sure made it worth the extra 40 minute trip.”

“I went there for an oil filter wrench because I misplaced mine. Man on counter took out a similar filter and he showed me only one tool would work. Ten out of ten for service. Will revisit, when Middletown is out of range. Happy”
“Was involved in a car accident and came here to have my car repaired. Unfortunately my car was a total loss, but the staff here kept me informed along the way and was extremely friendly and professional during the entire ordeal.”
“John was very helpful and attentive and got the vehicle within a day of me deciding which vehicle would best suit . He was very thorough about going through the settings with me and how to adjust them and has responded Call that I have placed after the vehicle pickup.”
