Engine repair service near Middletown, CT

Bob Thomas Ford recommended an unnecessary wheel alignment for my car. When asked whether the recommended alignment was necessary, Gary Shelomis, service manager, confirmed that it was necessary and that it needed to be fixed before I could drive my car. Because of the $130 price of the alignment, I asked for second opinions from Firestone and Town Fair Tire. Both reviewed a printout of Bob Thomas Ford’s alignment measurements and advised that an alignment would not be “necessary” and that $130 would be excessive for an alignment even if it were necessary.

i purchased a replacement windshield for my 69 Mustang and requested removal of the black glass in order that I have a new headliner replaced. I paid approximately $325 for the order. The following day, Payless reported to the interior shop (2 blocks away as agreed) and removed the back glass and windshield. Approximately 3 days later, the headliner was replaced and I requested that they reinstall the back window and install the new windshield. I received conflicting dates as to when the job would be done, all the while the car was kept at the interior shop and utilizing a bay. On 8/4, I went back to the Payless and spoke to the manager who said that he was backed up and couldn't complete job until Thursday or Friday. On Saturday, the job still wasn't done and I had to have the car towed away from the interior shop at my expense. I insisted that Payless return my monies in full however they demanded to be paid for removing the back glass. I asked for the return of my original windshield however was told that it was thrown away. I would not recommend this business to anyone and plan legal action against them. I planned to have the car complete to deliver to my dad during a vacation later that month, they completely ruined the plan. Terrible business and attitude from the management.

I've been doing business at Palumbo's for years. I would trust them with any vehicle I own! They are kind, and honest. They even took photographs of my worn brake pads and emailed them to me so that I could understand what needed to be done!

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.

I arrived on my way from Massachusetts to Georgia with one of my windshield fluid dispensers not working in the aftermath of a winter storm. It was just before closing on a Friday afternoon, and Country Auto took my car into the shop, warmed it up, got my line unfrozen and charged me nothing! I wouldn't have been able to continue otherwise. This is a great place. It is conveniently located to an I-91 exit.
