I couldnt be happier with the service from Ultimate Auto! Every step of the way their communication was superb. They let me know exactly what needed to be done on my vehicle and provided feedback and photos of what they found. They were realistic with my cars needs and never tried to push something that was unnecessary. My Subaru drives better than the day I got it!

Lets just put it this way, we wont go anywhere else for our cars. and we are so lucky to have them close by. Ultimate Auto has the most professional, efficient, no nonsense approach to your auto repairs/maintenance. It is a joy to deal with them and they will communicate with you any way thats convenient to you. We love the post diagnostic evaluation right over your cell phone and you can decide whether or not you accept or deny the recommendations they make. Just give them a try. If you are a new client they offer a free oil change as a welcome gift. Also they give you a free oil change as a new customer.I am very happy with them and will continue to use their services ongoing for both our cars. You will not be disappointed!

The entire staff at Ultimate Auto, Truck and Equipment is awesome. As a single woman, who is not car savvy, I never feel like Im being duped. They always shoot straight with me and help me keep my car maintained. I love that they give me a rental car whenever my car is at their shop. When Ive bought a new used car, they even checked it out for me to make sure it was a good one. I trust them, which says a lot.

I have my RV serviced at Ultimate Auto, Truck & Equipment every year. They are always great to work with. They are upfront with pricing and send you a link that allows you to select the maintenance youd like them to perform. I worked with Phil...great guy. Id recommend them to anyone!

I will recommend Ultimate Auto to everyone especially to the ones that dont know anything about cars other then being behind the wheels. After first diagnosis you will have a full understanding of whats going on with your car and the help needed to prioritize the works to be done. And the most important if it is worth to fix it or not just in case you gave an aging car .

I brought my Impreza there after purchasing it last year. Eli & Steve have been amazing helping me get her back up to prime working condition. I’ve never felt pressured and their prices are more than fair for the quality of work they perform. I’ve been extremely impressed with everything they have done.

Another excellent experience! Left my motorhome (Ford 450 engine) for regular maintenance, plus a ‘squeak’. The squeak was researched and remedied with new parts. This was done twice, as Ultimate was not happy with the first repair part. They communicated with me throughout. I drive this mh long distances by myself and need to feel confident with all work done. Once again, an outstanding job! Thank you!

The crew at Ultimate Auto took great care of my Bus. Very knowledgeable about Diesel Engines and Allison transmissions.2 month follow up: knowing the Ultimate Auto crew gave my 15 year old RV a throrough mechanical inspection I was confident to take off for a couple 1,500 mile trips.

The staff here explained everything in detail and sent a really comprehensive list of repair suggestions in an online portal (easy to use!). They answered my questions, were patient with me in clarifying things I didn’t understand, and were very honest about the work being done. Would highly recommend!

Ultimate automotive is the only shop I trust for mechanics. They are extremely thorough and do extremely good work. They stand by their work. Eli does a great job on my Subaru outback and has told me he specializes in Subaru.Ive always been happy with ultimate and do highly recommend them.

Let me tell you a little something. This was easily the best auto repair/auto anything experience iv ever had. Steve was super helpful. He took as much time as I needed him to to tell me what was going on and my options and what not. The guys a gem. They are very transparent in cost and what is going on. Whatever computer program they use lets you know exactly what is going on and allows you to manually let them know if its okay to proceed. They dont secretly do things like many other places. Couldnt be happier with the experience I had. Steve is my new favorite car guy (also my first favorite car guy)....for what its worth, Eli (who im assuming is his son) did the work, so also he is great.Ill be back (next time not because i waited too long to fix something) for maintenance. Good people there. Thank you again

Ultimate Auto is a fantastic Auto repair shop, I went in for brake service, they were, as always, very accommodating, and explained everything completely, answered all my questions, and even had the small windshield wiper for my rear window in stock, which they replaced. Eli Wooten knows my suburu inside and out! Thank you!

My father serviced all of my vehicles for years until he retired. Finding a mechanic with those expectations seemed to be an impossible task, until I found Ultimate Auto. These guys are everything you would hope for in a auto shop. They are honest, extremely fair, they go above and beyond to help guide you every step of the way while your vehicle is in there hands. A perfect shop if you have work vehicles that need constant servicing, or even just a simple flat tire on a personal vehicle. There professionalism is second to none. It says it right in the name, Ultimate Automotive!

My boyfriend took my car to do change oil in my equinox. He went to his mechanic and now I understand why he speaks so good about them. They went above and beyond for something small as an oil change to the point they found some possible issues with my lease car.Thank you for going the extra mile and the advise given to me.

Review №23

Do not use this shop! I brought my truck to them because it had a problem with the engine and I thought it was the oil. They charged me 500 dollars for an oil change, which is fine. But then after telling them I did not want my engine power washed they did not power wash it and charged me! Then let me drive off their outwith a huge knock in my engine when they could have said donot drive this truck! The truck died not even a mile after driving it off their lot.

When I first moved to CT., I didnt know many people & I soon realized that I needed to get my car serviced. When researching for a new mechanic , I look for one quality only- Trust. A friend at work recommended Ultimate Automotive to me & since then 2015, I havent had my car serviced anywhere else. Theyre trustworthy, dependable & their customer service goes above & beyond the call of duty. I fully endorse Ultimate Automotive for any/all of your car or fleets needs!

Review №35

I highly recommend Ultimate Auto, Truck & Equipment for any auto repair/maintenance service. Greg and his team were referred to me from a mutual friend and they did not disappoint. My car has been serviced by them for over a year now and I could not be more pleased. For years I had searched for a reliable, trustworthy shop all to be disappointed by dealerships and a major chain repair shop.I first came in to get a second opinion on a repair that I was urged and quoted by a major chain shop as needing to be repaired right away. Phil, who is wonderful, knowledgeable and manages the service team, explained in detail the condition of my radiator by pulling out a sample one and actually helped me to understand with ease the issue I was facing and signs to look for that would indicate the radiator was in need of immediate repair. Fast forward over a year, I was able to replace the radiator much later than quoted by the major chain shop and from a team that I knew had my back and invested time in making sure I was educated.My car continues to get regular maintenance work (oil changes etc) from this shop and runs perfectly. Greg, Phil and team have been professional, reliable and most importantly, trustworthy in their work and dealings. I could not have asked for a better Auto Shop and am grateful they were recommended to me.

Review №37

Ultimate Auto exceeded my expectations. I was originally referred by a good friend and I was not disappointed with the quality and care that I received (even during the time of COVID). Not only did they properly diagnose my vehicle issues(there were more than a few), but Steve kept me up to date on every step through phone calls and a convenient online portal that let me accept or decline recommended services at my discretion. This was huge for me because I like to do whatever work I’m capable of on my vehicle. I had an aftermarket EGR valve that was up as the last repair and being the professionals that they are, they systematically tried a couple of possible resolutions before landing on needing a ford factory EGR to resolve the issue. Steve did an excellent job of explaining the computer values they were looking for in order to feel confident in returning my vehicle to me in a healthy state.As a side note, the pricing was very fair.Thank you to everyone at Ultimate auto.You will have my future business and any referrals I can send you.Jarett Welch

I have always been very satisfied with the work on my car! When checking out my request for work, they notify me if other repairs are needed and let me know if they need to be done sooner or later. They always answer my questions so I can understand what is needed and why. I really dont trust anyone else with my vehicle!

I just started using Ultimate to service our Chevy Express Coachmen Class C RV. Everyone that I interacted with at Ultimate was very professional and courteous. The work was done when they said it would be, for a reasonable price and the RV is running great. They made some recommendations for work I could get done but not in a pushy way. All in all a great first impression!!

Ultimate Auto has been the only place that I go when I need auto repair service. They are pleasant, accommodating, knowledgeable, and fair.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Having been a gear head myself, I know when a shop is being honest and if they know their trade. These guys do.

Its so easy to give Ultimate Auto a 5 star review because I know they look out for me. They understand my situation, dont try to sell me what I dont need or cant afford. They tell me the truth about the state of my car, what to watch out for, and how much its going to cost when a repair has to be done. They knowledgeable, professional but personable, and its always a pleasant experience doing business with them.

Steve and the crew take such great care of me and my automobile. This last visit was supposed to be a regular oil change, however the other potential repair issues some of which have been on watch for over a year were checked. It was discovered that these issues now needed to be addressed. This monitoring gives me peace of mind, so that when things need to be dealt with its not a surprise. I have complete trust that Ultimate will keep my best interests in mind when recommended auto care needs to be done!

Ultimate Automotive and Trucking has serviced my last two Acura cars over the past 300,000 miles and 9 years. He is great at helping me plan needed future servicing so I have time to prepare. I have very few issues other than servicing as he also helps me prevent breakdowns. The mechanics top off my fluids and check my lights every time the car is in for servicing. The loaner vehicles he has available help keep me up and running without having to wait or get a ride to drop off my vehicle. Great customer service.

Over the past 10 years or so, I have entrusted Ultimate Auto with my households auto repair needs. This includes a substantial amount of custom work, tuning and instalations.In addition, I have managed a local business that services an extensive portion of CT via our fleet of service vehicles. Continuous vehicle fleet maintenance and repairs are necessary, and vital to the lifeline of our business! Ultimate has been there to assist our needs, which are often unexpected.The Ultimate Auto experience will include:-priority customer service!-quick diagnosis!-accurate options/procedures to repair!-timely results (backed by warranty)!

Review №75

Weve been taking our 8 year old (new to us) RV motorhome to the dealer where we purchased it whenever we had a problem. They kept it for two weeks every time. This isnt a camp-friendly situation. When there is a problem we want professionals who will determine what it is, fix it in a timely fashion, and get it back to us so we can use it! And heres a thought, if there may be other issues brewing, let us know the level of risk so we can decide when to make an appointment. We dont want problems, but when we have them we want a positive outcome like the one we recently experienced with Ultimate Auto, Truck & Equipment. Guess where this post is coming from? A campground! Great job Ultimate Auto, the professionals who choose to treat you like family!

My Nissan Murano is basically falling apart, and without Ultimate Auto, I dont think that the car would still be running. I have taken the car to other dealerships that kind of guessed at the problems plaguing my poor car, which ends up with thousands of dollars being spent to have the car come back in the same condition. Ultimate Auto was very honest with their repairs, presented multiple options for me to choose from, and were adamant about finding me the best deal on parts. I will use this service again for all my auto needs.

Review №93

When you bring your car or truck to Ultimate Auto, they give it a thorough going over and let you know what is coming up for you. This is massively different from other mechanics, who will fix what you brought in and try to diagnose what you are having problems with. They want to get you ahead of the game.I had my air conditioner changed out on my Honda CR/V. Despite the problems with the job, they did the job easily and professionally, leaving my vehicle clean and ready to go. Their thorough check-out apprised me of upcoming issues, which I have scheduled for this vehicle to take care of before problems arise.And, if you have transportation issues, they have that covered with their loaners. If your car or truck needs service, take it here. If you have a fleet, they can take the worry off your head and manage your fleet according to a reasonable schedule, rather than on an emergency basis.
