Serving Wallingford on Main St — walk-in emissions testing in about 10 minutes, fair pricing, and advice that doesn't always benefit the shop.

True to his word on the quote, even though, the actual cost ended up to be over $1000 more than the quote! My husband and I tried to get the mechanic to take at least a few hundred more… but he refused.
The team will tell you straight — whether that means recommending a trade-in instead of a costly repair or fixing something small at no charge.
“RJ was honest and told me I should trade it in and cut my losses instead of having me put more money into it.”
