Wallingford Tire & Auto

This shop is often confused for just a Firestone Tire store, but it's a lot better than that, with a nice group of seasoned mechanics, and run by two brothers, John and Mike. It's a real find, with sincere appointments...they usually bring the car in on time, and are pretty clear on what they're doing.

Although it's sometimes confused for just a "tire" store (Firestone), it's a great repair shop, run by two brothers (sound familiar?), John and Mike. Almost to a fault, they will take the time to explain what's happening to the family clunker, and offer options.. It's run well and the waiting room is well stocked with current magazines (very important!). I've never been dissapointed in their work for the past several years.

They were a little more expensive (30% more), but they did have the time to do the emergency water pump replacement, when no one else in town did. The warrentee (1 year parts & labor) is tremendous!! I would go back in an emergency again.

I have been bringing my car to Wallingford Tire & Auto for years and feel extremely comfortable with their ability and have always felt they are being fair and honest in everything they do. They make it a point to explain what needs to be done and why, giving me an itemized estimate before they start as well as reviewing everything that was done after the repair. I would strongly recommend Wallingford Tire & Auto to anyone that needs their car repaired or serviced.

This shop seems to be a little more expensive than the averge, but hey, you get what you pay for. They are excellent diagnosticians and they always try to keep their commitments. Real pros that need a radio show.

I have used these guys for about 10 to 15 years and never had a problem. When I was young I used to do all my own repairs because I had couldn't afford anything but a 10 year old used car. Now I don't have the spare time, but a little extra money. Point is I know enough to tell (at least I think so!) when someone is BS'ing me about car repair and these guy's have never done that. I have had plenty of other's who tried to give me a line of BS and who no longer service my car.
