Good mechanic work, fair, got a problem you did not know about, and they find it...they show you what is wrong and why. Dont always need an appt to get your oil changed or your inspection done. Nice people.

I had my heavy duty diesel truck and my wifes Tahoe undercoated here recently. Theyre both brand new and Im extremely particular, so I was a bit apprehensive about bringing them somewhere to get undercoated. I decided on The Auto Clinic and they were not only helpful in accommodating my schedule, but they were reassuring when I explained that I was a bit nervous about a technician possibly smearing grease inside my vehicles and such. They explained that they work on newer vehicles regularly and their staff are trained to pay attention. Although I never asked for a price, (I wanted the job done right, not done to fit within a price point) they offered a regular fluid film and a more expensive black fluid film. I went with the black, but I thought it was nice that they offered two choices. When I got my vehicles back they were spotless inside; I couldnt even tell that someone else got in them. The undercoating was laid on VERY thick and carefully and in every area of concern, while ensuring that they didnt get it on areas where it shouldnt be. They even sprayed where the lift covers the frame after they took it back off the lift, and thats a detail that Ive never seen any other place pay attention to. Ive gotten my vehicles back from undercoating at other places in the past and have been disappointed, as a lot of places just do a quickie and dont use a lot of product, in order to fit an advertised price special. One thing Ive learned with repair places over the years, is that you arent getting a good deal just because the price is low. Undercoating is the best investment that you can make in a new vehicle, and if it isnt done right, or if its done haphazardly, you may as well have not done it at all! As previously mentioned, I never asked for a price, but when I got my bill, it was almost exactly what I expected. I was very happy with the overall value here, which takes quality of work and price into account. Remembering that I was picky, the owner even came out when I picked the vehicles up and asked if I had a garage, and told me that I may want to park them outside for a few days as they might drip. I was glad that he mentioned this; I parked them in the street for a few days and they dripped there instead of in my nice clean garage! Thanks guys; keep up the great work!

CON MAN. Jason, the owner, replaced my alternator and charged me $500, then it died less than 2 weeks later. Tried to return it and get a refund but REFUSED to give me one even when I had the receipt and he didnt even try to look up the number on the alternator to prove it was his. He accused me of taking out my alternator right before I gave it to him its still warm and when my mechanic tried to speak to him, he refused to speak. He gave me so much attitude, overcharged me, and scammed me. I am taking this up with the Better Business Bureau. DO NOT GIVE HIM THE PLEASURE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I was in a scramble to find winter tires last minute (because thats just who I am) and I found some at Auto Clinic. Not only did I find tires, they got me in SAME DAY to put them on. I got there and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. The service was friendly and they went so far above and beyond to accommodate me. Words cant express how grateful I am to them for doing this. My brother is a mechanic and I never thought I would go somewhere else, but since moving away from my hometown - its too far to travel to my brother. Auto clinic just gained a loyal customer - even if I have to drive half hour to get there!! Thank you SO much!!!

I thought I had found a good place, that was reasonable, the mechanic there, Maynard is very good, but, the parts prices were four hundred 400% of what they cost, .. Everything was more expensive than it shouldve been, the owner would not confirm what the cost was,, a $700 dollar job cost $1500, A $16 wheel bearing was $100 .... The owner lied about the price of things and was indignant when I asked to go over the bill ...

I was recently referred to the Auto Clinic for a problem that two mechanics couldnt diagnose. The Auto Clinic not only diagnosed that problem, but many others my mechanic was neglecting to tell me about. Instead of just telling me the problem the owner and the mechanic working on my vehicle took me underneath my car to show me exactly what was wrong. They quoted me how much it would cost, ordered the special parts & started working on my vehicle with the stock parts they already had. The owners wife gave me a ride to work , which I thought was above and beyond amazing customer service. My car was completely done in less than 24 hours & the difference I felt was incredible. The shop is beautiful, the staff is honest & friendly. This family owned business will be my first stop the next time I need anything done.Thanks Auto Clinic! I truly feel safe in my vehicle now :)

I have never written anything negative about a business but I was just charged $224.90 for an hour and fifteen minutes of labor. It’s too bad because the people were friendly and the service was fast. I assumed the majority of the bill was parts but when I got home I looked at the breakdown of my bill and the parts were less than the labor. Too bad because if I never looked at the bill I probably would have gone back.

Great and knowledgable staff. We love that if we have an emergency with either of our vehicles we can just stop in anytime and they are willing to help and do a wonderful job. Its also great having a place close by where we can take our vehicles for routine service and to have the car checked out before long trips. Since its an older car, I always feel better knowing theyve checked it out and addressed any problems then so I dont have any while on the road. Thank you to Jason and all the staff for all you do!

Be very careful. I got soaked for almost two grand on work that I did not authorize beforehand. When I went to pick the car up I signed off on the work and later saw that the paperwork said I authorized it before hand. Read the fine print!!

They did not take the extra minutes to remove an expensive turbo from a car I wanted parts from. Claim they did not know i wanted it - just the exhaust made specifically for it. Frustrating!

These guys saved my butt when I broke down in Barre. After waiting over an hour for a USAA tow dispatch, I got fed up and called around until I found an available tow. Turns out they could get me in, assess my vehicle, and get me out that same afternoon, and even did an amazing job keeping the repairs reasonably priced without cutting corners.I brought my vehicle back to them after a similar incident (different problem!) and stumped my regular mechanic. Once again, assessed and had the hard to find parts ordered the next day.

I recently had some repairs done on my car at the Auto Clinic. The owner noticed that my tires were also in very poor shape as well and asked me if I wanted to buy some tires. I declined and told him I would have to wait on the tires as I didnt have enough money. When I picked up my car the owner gave me a free pair of used tires and mounted and balanced them for me free of charge. They were able to fix my car quickly and always do quality work. They are one of the few repair shops that are actually open on Saturdays as well. I highly reccomend as they go above and beyond for their customers.

My visit to The Auto Clinic was a pleasure. They took my car in promptly, explained the problem completely, and offered a good solution. Before I knew it the job was done and I was ready to go home. Everyone was friendly and I felt like they really cared about me and my car. I plan to go their for all my automotive needsIlene Gillander

Unimpressed with these people. When I returned a uhaul to them they were very unfriendly and I realized I would never do business with them. Nail in the coffin when they just charged my friend $260 For a ten mile tow. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE CROOKS.
