The first time I went to Dick's, was for an oil change. While the car was up on the rack, one of his mechanics was checking the tire pressure and found that I had a nail in one of my tires. He fixed the tire (yes, I did pay him for that); but, the fact that he did that minor inspection when all I came in for was an oil change, impressed me. My wife and I have gone back ever since.

I met Dick when I was a grad student at UCONN a couple of years ago. He not only managed to rescue my 1981 Honda accord from the scrap heap, but he compassionatly put it in good enough shape that 33,000+ miles later the thing still runs great. Dick has a couple of guys who work with/for him and he works with and tutors them like a strong tough-guy mentor. Were it not for Dick Kruescher thousands upon thousands of UCONN students would have been reduced to using public transportation in rural CT (not fun) and/or have been rooked by nefarious neer-do-wells who claim to know what they are doing at twice the price and time.

I can't be any happier. Mike solved a problem with my car
that had a lot of people baffled. He spent a whole day
trying to figure it out, and then had it fixed in a jiffy.
He was meticulous in trying to figure the problem out, and
he went through everything he tested with me. In the end,
I spent a VERY reasonable amount of money getting the car
fixed, considering how much time he put into it. The shop
is also friendly, they don't make you feel like they're
doing you a favor, they're just happy to fix your car!

I called Dick's because my car was making terrible noise.
I didn't think my car would make it to his shop, and so
Dick came out in his toll truck. He looked under the hood
of my car, and immediately he found the problem: the fan
belt assembly was broken. He told me to drive the car to
his shop (less than a mile), and he would follow me. In
doing so, he could save me $20. I got there, he called in
for the parts, and they arrived almost immediately. I
told him I had a class in four hours and wouldn't get out
until after they close. Dick said they would try to get
my car fixed before then. Up til this point, I was very
satisfied with the service. What was totally amazing was
that Dick offered to give me a ride back to campus! He
said some 20 years ago, he came to a conclusion that if he
got to a new place, he would want to be treated in a nice
manner. So he and his help decided that they would treat
people just like they would like to be treated, and this
has been their philosophy ever since! Dick dropped me off
right outside my building, and he said when the car was
ready, he would come pick me up to pick up the car!!!
Isn't he nice? I have never met a mechanic nicer than
Dick! I would highly recommend Dick's Auto to all the
people in the Storrs/UConn area!

Total praise for Dick and his entire staff. I have been
going there for a long time and have never regretted the
choice. A friendly, extreemly knowledgeable, reasonable,
did I stress honest, establishment. They give even more
then 110%. Every business should be this honest,
pleasant, trustworthy and knowledgeable. How wonderful
that would be. Dick's Auto Care is a perfect ad for the
small business owner.

It's been a long time since I've had a mechanic take the
time to explain [and show me!] what was wrong, AND provide
options about what to do.
I'll be back!
