Auto inspection service near Holyoke, MA

I have used Advanced Technical Repair for years. Mark, the owner is very knowledgeable and extremely trustworthy. I can always depend on him to let me know what my options are and to fix my vehicles in a safe and cost effective manner. I give them 5 stars without reservation!

Some of the nicest people I've known in the field. Very reasonable on their prices with great quality work. If it's not broken they won't fix it. I will continue to bring my vehicles into them for work. Jim Nelson Windsor Locks, CT

Gary has always been an honest & knowledgeable mechanic, I have never had a problem taking an automobile to him. So if you are shopping for a good mechanic... Try Gagne's you will not be sorry you did.

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.

Everyone should avoid this place like the plague. I brought one of my cars here for state inspection and they jacked the car up by my floor pan instead of the frame bending my floor up into a bulge. Now I just brought in my other car and warned them that this car has to be jacked up very carefully because it's very easy to damage just by moving the jack an inch in either direction. Once again they damaged the underside of the vehicle and when I contacted the owner she refused to take responsibility for the damage. I'm guessing that quite a number of people are going here and leaving with damage that the owners are never aware of because they never look at the underside of their vehicles. If you have gone here, get under your vehicle and check for damage, or bring it to your mechanic to check for you. Most likely there will be damage that you never knew about and every time you go here the damage will just get worse.

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 have used Paul's auto for years on all my vehicles from oil changes to overhauls all types of work. I've brought them Ford's to VW's to Acura's etc they are very knowledgeable and make you understand what work is being performed and why. If issues pop up they let you know what they've found and what will be needed to resolve them. They instill confidence at every turn and even though servicing vehicles is an annoying necessary evil they make you feel that the job was done right by local professionals. I've referred many people to work with them even my own grandmother because I know that they will take care of her and not advantage of her because she isn't mechanically inclined. Supporting local family owned businesses is important to me and the CT economy. It should be to you as well. Paul's Auto is one of the good ones so please help make them even more successful than they already are!
