“Don't trust your car to anyone else! I found this shop thru a desperate Google search, back in Nov-Dec 2023, when all the shops my insurance company directed me to were booked well into the New Year! They had a higher rating than just about every other garage within a 25 mile search area.
So I called Absolute Auto Body and they took my car the next day. I am so glad they were able to fit me in! This shop does high quality work, pays their employees a fair wage, and they use only high quality replacement parts! In addition to the cosmetic repairs, they also found some structural damage my insurance adjustor missed, and my insurance company agreed to pay for those additional repairs! My car is now safer, and it looks brand new! Since then, I've found (by remarks from local friends), that I actually chose one of the best body shops in the New London area! Owners Mike and Danielle are fair, honest, and a pleasure to do business with! They keep you updated on the status of the repair, and it was completed in a timely manner!
If you need collision repair work, don't waste your time with the insurance companies' "direct repair centers!" I highly recommend you call Absolute Auto Body FIRST! You'll be glad you did! I know I certainly am!”
“WE HAVE BEEN CUSTOMERS OF GUY'S OIL SINCE MOVING TO NIANTIC IN 1988. THE PREVIOUS OWNERS RECOMMENDED GUY'S AS FUEL OIL SUPPLIERS AND WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THEIR FURNACE SERVICE AND OIL DELIVERY SERVICES... WE HAVE PURCHASED CARS FROM THEIR DEALERSHIP AND GUY'S HAS SERVICED ALL OUR VEHICLES WITH GREAT EXPERTISE AND FAIR, EFFICIENT MECHANICAL PRACTICES...THEY HAVE ALWAYS GONE THE EXTRA MILE...THEY HAVE WONDERFUL STAFF MEMBERS... MEL, BOB, AND EVERYONE HAVE BEEN SUPER PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GUY'S OIL SERVICE STATION TO EVERYONE... GOOD WORK!!!”
“The nice man (I think he’s the owner I didn’t get his name sorry) looked at my side mirror and put it back into place with his hands and said someone bumped it but it was nice that he did that and he said he was a fair man. I thought it was broken. I was gonna pay him for his services but he didn’t charge me. Thank you to the nice man I’ll be sure to go back to him if there is anymore car troubles.”
“I HIGHLY recommend this shop. It's a family owned joint, with multiple members of the family working there on a given day. I am from out of town, and they gratuitously fit me in for some brake work so I could get back home. They were so kind, transparent, and communicative. They also have some great future advice to take home with me to my regular shop. I wish I was more local, I would come to them for all my car repairs!”
“Multiple times my wife and I have brought our cars here. Whether big or small jobs, different makes, newer or older cars, it's all a simple job to them. And they do it very affordably. CIC: I want you guys to know how much that's appreciated, because I've had experience with countless car shops that make everything sound complicated in order to corner their customers into spending inflated prices. Glad to have this family run shop in the area!”
“I did some pretty bad damage to my pickup truck. B&D took the job and had my truck looking better than new. They had it a longer than I expected but the extra time and quality of the work was well worth it .”

“Dan and Bills is not closed as Yelp states. In fact, they are almost always open! A previous review also cited a "secretary". They do not have one. Over 15 years I have taken various cars there and they have always been forthright telling me what issue is now, what needs to be done now or for the long term. They always check out the car so you are made aware of other issues. Extremely knowledgeable about cars. Almost any brand. They do the repairs themselves, so maybe it takes longer for them to get the parts and do the work than a larger facility. But, they are far less expensive. So, if you can drop off for something like brakes, it is worth it. I have pulled in there with a thing in a tire twice and they just pulled it out for $5, pumped it up and told me how all my tires were doing. There is no waiting area or anything fancy- it is just a garage with 2 guys who love fixing cars.”
“Oil change had done. Well known business, been around for years. Heck of a nice owner. Will always go back to have work done on vehicle. Reasonable prices. Knows what he's doing, go check him out!”
“Genius that I am, I locked myself out of my car and left both sets of keys and fobs and my cellphone in the car. On a Saturday morning, I was fortunate that a real live person at Columbus Sq Auto answered my call from someone else's cellphone. The gentleman at Columbus Square Auto said he would arrive in 15 or 20 minutes, and in 15 minutes there he was in his tow truck! Jimmied open my car door in less than 2 minutes, and charged me only $60. Highway Generosity! Thank you!”

“I had a fantastic experience getting help from Rob and his staff with repairs to my car. He was honest, forthright and delivered the repairs agreed upon. I can’t believe how much I saved over getting the same repairs at the dealership. I can’t recommend Ledyard Auto highly enough.

“Great place. Even though I had never done any business there before they really helped me out of a jam. Reminds me of what a shop ought to be(and then some). Just really good people.
Thanks for helping truck live on.”
