Auto repair service near Cos Cob, CT

As the Manager at this facility, I would like to take this opportunity to provide some information in regards to the previous post. The above customer came into our facility with two concerns. First, check a no start condition. It was a simple diagnosis, the starter had failed. We replaced the Starter, charged standard book time and the cost of a new, not rebuilt part. We even gave the customer a lifetime warranty on the part and did not charge a diagnostic fee. The second concern was to check a no heat condition. We verified there was no heat, and there was a noise coming from the dashboard area. I explained to Tony, this would require removal of the lower part of the dash board to diagnose and there would be a charge. It could be either an acuator, a blendoor, or even debris causing this condition. Tony declined. All the information was clearly marked on the receipt, in which, Tony had signed. I would be more than happy to repair the no heat condition on his old, high mileage vehicle, but he did not want it repaired due to cost. At AAMCO, we have been in business for over 50 years, and make customer satisfaction our number one goal.

Theo's car care is a rip-off!!! I took my car there because my friend said the owner was somewhat honest to him while inspecting his car, and because it's a small local shop so I expected lower charges. However, when I need to have a part replaced on my nissan, the owner asked for the same price as a Nissan dealer is asking, and, much higher than Goodyear!! He charged me $100 for inspecting, it took them FOREVER even after I told them my suspicion because it's a common Nissan problem that surprisingly hasn't been recalled on. The inspection cost $60 for my friend who has the same car and exact same issue at Goodyear. When it comes to labor, Theo's mechanic finished taking the part out and putting the new one in in about 1 hour, BUT, he charged me for 2 hrs!! When I told him my friend had it fixed for less, he said he doesn't believe me so I called Goodyear and had him talked to Goodyear, only then did he lowered the price a bit. When I got the bill at the end, it's almost the same as Goodyear's charge but I had a terrible experience. Terrible customer service and the owner is sleazy, rude, and ignorant, I would give him a -5 stars if I could.

BUYER BEWARE, WORST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!!! and this would be my 7th car. They are very deceptive, make sure what ever comes out of their mouths ends up on paper!! I had the unfortunate experience of purchasing my death trap of a vehicle from Baladi. At the time of purchase I was told that the agreed upon cash price would include sales tax and a 1 year warranty, was given the brochure for the warranty company and told to expect something in the mail in the next two weeks. However, in the midst of sealing the deal my child threw a major tantrum so I handed over the cash and left my partner to sign off on everything. They made sure not to show a breakdown on the receipt of the sales tax being included in the price, refused to re-write it and on the title itself wrote 0 for taxes. As if that was not enough, right after I pulled out the lot and made a right turn my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I immediately went back and was given some lame excuse but was also told not to worry because I had the extended warranty. After driving for a little while the car would jerk, slow down and it would feel like something fell out from under the car but it would then recover and drive like normal. I took the car to my mechanic who told me there was a problem with the ABS system (the car randomly brakes on its own – EXTREMELY DANGEROUS). After waiting for two weeks to hear from the warranty company so I could take the vehicle in for repair I called Baladi and the sales guy claimed they never made such promise and of course all they did was give me the brochure and not put that in writing either. They took complete advantage of me being pulled away to calm my child and reneged on the major points of why I chose to make the purchase (the agreed upon price INCLUDING sales tax and the extended warranty) instead of going back to a previous dealer who had the same exact car minus the color of the interior leather for a couple hundred dollars cheaper but did not i
