I moved into the area recently and am looking for a local shop whom I can trust and not worry about being taken for a "ride", I am happy to say that I found one in Carracino's. Family owned/operated business, very friendly people makes you feel at home, they don't try to push stuff on you will give the recommended work, good pricing, will drop and pick you up if you live close by which I think is really nice of them. They are very knowledgeable of the work they do. totally recommend them.

Dwayne has been our go-to source for more than 30 years. He is trustworthy and dependable, extremely committed to providing high-quality service. We refer our friends to him without hesitation. Our Toyota Sienna is 15 years old, our Camry is 14 years old. With the help of his preventive maintenance, we have kept both cars running smoothly with never a single on-road breakdown. (I sometimes wonder why we keep renewing our AAA coverage. We've never needed it.) -Udi

Top Notch Work.

Clearly, these people are doing a variety of work outside mechanical work. The shop is closed most of the times I walked by. Nick’s partner son took a “side job” of refinishing a beautiful, but with a scratch, Georgian style antique dining table. The job did not measure up to my expectations! The table came back in the wrong color (much darker than the original, somewhat purple) with scratches. When I canceled payment, and asked for rework, the son filed a lawsuit in the civil court and filed a criminal complaint. What a way to do business! I won in criminal court, but in small claims court, helped by Nick and cousin witnesses, he convinced the court I had actually accepted that “ridiculous” color and the multiple scratches. Now, after losing $540 plus shipping cost, I have to send the table to a capable professional to do the job right! A total waste of money and time! On the scales of 1-10 for quality and customer experience, my rating for this shop is 1. If you need to deal with Nick’s Machine do background checks, put everything in writing and monitor each step of the way. For bigger projects, get a lawyer.
