“You have no idea how relieved we are to find an HONEST mechanic. Truly. Over the last several years we've dealt with several who've lied and made situations harder than they've ever needed to be. But this guy Mike, ACTUALLY called us back the next day and talked to us reasonably about what was going on and even worked with us, instead of waiting a week to call and telling us a round about story of when it'll get done. From now on I will only be recommending Verdolinis to everyone I know. The work isn't even done yet but I'm so confident just in the communication alone.”
“Mantz Auto has ALWAYS fixed our cars perfectly, in a timely manner, and at a very reasonable cost. The staff are all amazingly friendly and competent people who go above and beyond to ensure the quality of their service!”
“New to the area so I asked ChatGPT Where are the best place to get an emission sticker was in Wallingford I mean I know it’s pretty standard but just wanted to see what they said and I was so happy that I did. They were fast, efficient, friendly, and seemed trustworthy. We’ll definitely recommend and go back if I need to in the future, grateful to have places like this. I know it’s only $20 right now and that’s standard everywhere, but having the piece of mind that I can go to a mechanic that isn’t going to rip me off Or try to scam me cause I’m a girl is so great. thanks Nelson’s!!”
“I came in about 2 months ago for a pedal sensor and thermostat housing replacement while my mechanic was on vacation. These guys serviced my car within 2 days when everyone else in town was booked 3 weeks out so I appreciated that alot. There was a hiccup that happened but when I brought it to them next day they addressed it immediately in that moment. Car has been running great since then”
“Great service. Honest, reliable, and timely. They will thoroughly diagnose your vehicle, recommend fixes, and take care of the problem. The fact that their services comes with a guarantee is icing on the cake.”
“What an incredible company! Wish I would have stopped in sooner, you will be AMAZED at their inventory. I came in with two pieces of ribbon to match up some belts for my vintage wood lathe and walked out with exact matches moments later. Service was outstanding, I highly recommend.”
“Denny built me a race transmission for my 55 Chevy Nomad show car over 15 years ago and it still works well. It might need a tweak but it still works pretty good.”
“I was worried when it appeared that I would need a new transmission. I was concerned that whichever shop I chose, I would end up spending several thousand dollars on a new or rebuilt transmission whether I needed one or not. I selected Transmission Works based on the reviews indicating that the owner Ron runs an honest shop. I can fully attest that this is the case as Ron and his team found a small leak that was making my transmission lose fluid and perform very poorly. The problem was repaired in a day. Thanks Ron!”
“We had to have the transmission rebuilt for a 2011 Mazda CX 7. I believe the owners name was Bill who we dealt with. Everything was explained clearly, and some additional work that could have possibly been needed, did not need to be done. It was great to not have that possible extra expense. It was clear when the car was dropped off that it would have been a few weeks before we got it back and that was exactly the case. The work was done back in November and I wanted to wait some time to write my review. Everything has been working fine.”
“Just had our 2004 Escalade's transmission totally rebuilt. Very professional shop. Nice turn around time. Very reasonable cost. Owner and staff are awesome. Will definitely recommend to anyone needing transmission work.”
“Triple J automotive is my new main car repair shop. Matt is an amazing mechanic. I have gone to him on short notice desperate for car service and he always finds a way to help me. I look forward to doing more business here. I absolutely recommend.”
“I brought my Subaru into Mad Hatter on Queen Street in Southington, and Jeff and the entire team made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. They took the time to explain the issue clearly, got right to work diagnosing and repairing it, and kept me informed throughout the process. Their pricing was very fair, and the communication was excellent.
A special shout-out to the weekend mechanics as well—they were friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. It’s refreshing to find an honest shop that genuinely cares about its customers. I highly recommend Mad Hatter for anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy automotive service.”
“I had a great experience . The price was fair, they are so helpful with everything. It made the transition smooth. I would recommend this place to anyone buying or selling a car .”
“Thorough, honest, and reliable. They did a great job of explaining all of the issues, estimating the cost upfront, and having our vehicles ready on time. We send our company cars there as well and have had a great experience all around. Would highly recommend Jay and Andrew for everything from luxury imports to company fleet cars.”
“The first guy to welcome me was sooo kind he even did a little dance as directing me over the bay. Great personality had me laughing he even set the alert so I do not loose track of my milage again. The guy who did my oil change had an amazing personality and was kind as well. I will absolutely be coming back in 5,000 miles?. Thanks guys hope you have a great holiday season.Service: Oil change”

Thankyou again!”
“Have had nothing but positive experiences over the years I and my family have been coming here. Always transparent about costs and what needs to be done. Always goes above and beyond. Having a mechanic you can trust is so important.”
