Auto repair service near Bristol, CT

Went to Midas in Vernon ct to have the brakes checked on my toyota, they checked them for free and gave me a great price for the front brakes and tolled me that the rear brakes did not need to be done they wore ok. Very satisfied, great pleople.

Crooked business. Had an exhaust dump valve welded in. I don't know how they did the job, but they decided that welding about 3/4 of the circumference of the pipes together was "sufficient enough"--clearly laziness because the pipe was hard to reach. I wondered why my exhaust sounded so terrible. Also, they didn't even do the install as I asked--they placed the valve in the wrong spot. Overpriced. Do not go here. I have photos of proof.

Steve at STS has been the only mechanic to work on and service my vehicles. Why? Because his thorough diagnostics are explained in clear and relevant terms. STS's labor rates are competitive with the industry but he always charges by the actual time it takes vs. rounding up the hours like most shops. He'll provide prioritization on what is really in need to be fixed as opposed to fixing and charging for everything in and around the effected area. The markup on materials is minimal if anything at all. His warranty on the work performed is always covered if needed at all. Steve is the best all-around auto mechanic that I've used in over 35 years of car ownership. Lastly, I have referred my family and friends to STS because of the way I have been treated as a customer.
