Their spine is made of trust! They have never once recommended services I have not needed. They generally don’t oblige doing service is not required for the car. Great quality. Very trustworthy. I started taking even by premium cars to this place! They are capable of handling anything you throw at them.

The entire staff of United auto sales are fantastic. ( including Bob and Ann) It’s very easy to get an appointment which fits your schedule and the work they do is excellent. It’s even easy to get your emissions done there. They stand by their service and you can’t beat the price a job well done. I have been using them for many years and would never consider going anywhere else

I brought my Lincoln MKZ into United Auto Sales & service on 219 Congress Avenue in Waterbury, Ct. in July of 2020. I have to first say how impressed I was with them reassuring me that they will take great care of my car. they were extremely nice and went above and beyond to accommodate me from the very beginning.Charlie then called me by the next morning to give me an update on my car. He explained everything in great detail regarding what he found was the problem with my car. He asked me permission if it was ok for him to go further and fix the issue. So he didnt just do all this work without calling me first. He not only explained the issue but asked me if I would give him permission to do the work. I said yes and Charlie not only went ahead and did fantastic job fixing my car but he continued to call me throughout the duration he had the car to give me updates.Charlie is an absolute magician as far as I am concerned. I recommend anybody who is looking for an honest mechanic who also does brilliant work on vehicles to not hesitate and give United Auto Sales & Service Inc a call.When I picked my car up, the inside was extremely clean and the car ran like it was brand new. I am so grateful to Charlie and the rest of United Auto Sales & Service Inc for not only for the way they treated my car but for the kind way they had treated me. I have found my mechanic and will always rely on United Auto Sales & Service Inc from this point forward.I have been to many mechanics in my day and have never come across one that I could give a perfect 5 out of 5 for their reliable top notch work and customer service until I used United Auto Sales & Service Inc. Charlie is honestly the best in the business.

This auto repair facility is top notch. From the initial phone call through the final repair, the service was excellent. They drove me home after dropping off the car for service. I received a call about an hour later detailing the problem and a repair estimate. Two hours later the car was fixed and delivered to my residence. They even called back a couple of days later to make sure the repair was fixed and that I was completely satisfied. The repair was true to the estimate and very fair and reasonable. I highly recommend United Auto and they are now the only facility I trust to service my vehicle. Five stars across the board for United Auto!

Diagnosed my car honestly, and fixed for very reasonable price. I will most definitely be back!!!I left my old mechanic because of how they spoke to me, berated me even...The folks at United Auto are kind, pleasant and honest!! Very pleased!!!-Shannon B

There is nothing I dread more than looking for a new mechanic to service the kids older cars. I was lucky enough to find United Auto through a friend and I can say with 100% certainty that I will never go anywhere else. Charlie and his team were attentive, thorough and the price was more than fair. About as good as it gets across the board. Thank you!

United mechanics are thorough and knowledgeable. They are proactive in that they evaluate and advise on systems BEFORE there is a failure. Yesterday they recommended and carried out after informing me, replacement of my battery. Turns out is was six years old, and and low performing. I may have become stranded.

Charlie and his team were thorough in the work they did on our Suburban and extremely professional to deal with. The work I requested was done on time and for a fair price. Even better, Charlie showed me the replaced brake pads and rotors and explained in detail why replacement was necessary. I trust these guys completely to do quality work and only work that is necessary!

My husband has been taking our cars to be serviced for years to United Auto . Recently we found ourselves in need of a new car when we were told that fixing our car would be costly. Charlie helped us with getting us into a new reliable car within days , and spent a lot of time with us to make sure we felt comfortable with our purchase . We would highly recommend United Auto to any of our family and friends

I brought my car here as a last-ditch effort. It was old- a 2006 Jetta that had been run into the ground by mother and I. So, I am not upset with the actual diagnosis given to my car. I needed WAY too much work done, so we all decided it was best if I just scrapped it and bought a new one. What I am upset about is the attitude and disrespect that came with this final decision. I was called several times while they were working. I brought my car in at 10am and it was not seen until 2pm. They asked ME what was wrong with it... when I stated I wasnt sure, and that a mechanic I used to bring it to mentioned the sensors would randomly go off, the man on the other line openly laughed at me. Do you know how many sensors are in a car? That doesnt help me at all. I began to explain to him which ones normally fired off at random times, only to be interrupted literally once every 5-10 seconds as he listed off random sensors. He did not trust that I knew what I was talking about at all, yet asked me to diagnose my own car. I received another call at 4:30pm, only for them to say they still had not gone through with any work on my car, as it was unethical since it was such a nightmare and a mess (their words). As I mentioned before, my car wasnt the best, but I just felt that my voice was not heard by this man. Being a woman, its really hard to find a good mechanic who is willing to respect and listen to me, so Im really upset that they didnt live up to the standard of hearing me out. In the end, they charged me $120, despite not doing any work, since they had to take it apart two or three times, to which I wondered... why did they take it apart and put it back together on three separate occasions? When everything was said and done, the man who worked on my car suggested I just buy a new one... and then tried to get me to buy one there, despite the unpleasant experience I had just gone through.

Excellent care & service! Had to get an entire new clutch on my car - took 4 days, but this team is personable and informative and kept me updated the whole way through. The mechanic, Lou, showed me what they repaired and explained the clutch failure to me and also showed me the new parts under the hood. I spent a lot of money but they made it worth it because of how they treated me.Thank you, United!

They verified every step of the way with me. They showed me what my problem was on my engine. They could have taken me for over $700. Because of the problem I was convinced it was. They showed me I was wrong and that it didnt even need to be fixed. Just something was out of place. Also, they called me a week later to check up on me. Ive never had that happen with a non-dealer repair location. Thoroughly impressed. Will edit if they give me reason. Edit: they gave me reason. Went back and wasnt surprised by the honesty and understanding with my garbage car. Thank you.

This is a rare auto shop that I trust 100%. Excellent and trustworthy service that does not jack up prices. Even though I moved further away I still go out of my way to return to this shop for any and all auto services or repairs. Try them once and it is safe to say you will be sticking with them.

Charlie and the whole staff are always so welcoming and kind. They help make sure you get an appointment right away and work around your schedule. When they take your car in for service, they treat it as their own and never over charge or give you the runaround. I always feel confident that my car is in good hands and I leave feeling safe knowing that my car was properly serviced.

United Auto just replaced my starter (which is a good deal of time/labor) on no notice (car was towed there) and within one day. The car was towed on friday, and I was able to pick it up on Saturday morning. The rates were also incredibly reasonable. I actually ended up spending about half of what I thought I would have to spend. Thank you so much, United Auto! I will use you again and recommend you to others!

I went in to ask a few questions regarding work on my vehicle. The individual I spoke with was condescending and made me feel as though I was bothering him. The price he gave me for brakes was very high. I have heard so many good things about this business but was put off by the attitude. I will take my business elsewhere.

Took my car in for a coolant leak, or so I thought. Turns out, I was over filling the reservoir tank. My bad. Charlie and his crew checked out the car from top to bottom. They kept it for me overnight so they could look it over cold. Charlie explained what I was doing wrong and I asked him what I owed him for his time. He replied nothing. This is what you get from a top notch operation. I would never consider taking my vehicle anywhere else for service. Go there once, youll go there again and again.

Review №58

There is a reason United Auto Sales has a 5.0 rating with over 30 reviews. I had purchased a vehicle on an auction site and the vehicle was in Waterbury so I needed an inspection. Clearly United Auto Sales was one of the places I called for an inspection. They were booked out a week so I knew they were good. They gave me a recommendation of another place to call which was also booked out the same length of time. So I called them back and they squeezed me in a week later and I am glad they did. They found what the dealer did not even know about, so I am told, and they found the things that were not pictured. I passed on the vehicle due to the information and I am glad that I did. Call Charlie and I cannot believe you will be disappointed. Chad Haan

Review №63

My car broke down on the first day of a family vacation, halfway from Maryland to Maine. There was heavy traffic on the interstate, it was a hot day, and I had two kids, a 94 year old father, and two dogs in tow - stress! I was referred to United Auto Sales by AAA and they saved the day! The shop appeared to be full of cars but Charlie and his staff immediately got to work, problem-solved, and repaired my car, getting us back on the road.I was continuously updated on the status of the work, and things were explained to me clearly and professionally. Charlie even called me the next day to make sure we got there ok. I can honestly say I have never had such a positive experience from an auto body shop. I cant thank you enough for the care, attention, service, honesty, and hospitality! The best!

It is rare to find a shop (or any business these days) that really, truly cares about their customers and the vehicles they service. Charlie Longo is the most trustworthy and kind gentleman you could ever hope to meet, and Bob and the entire team at United Auto have demonstrated in every way possible that they take pride in their work and truly care about their customers concerns and complete satisfaction. I am very particular about where I bring my Acura for service & repairs, and over the years the United Auto team has earned my steadfast loyalty, respect, and trust.
