I have dealt with these guys on several occasions on 3 different vehicles and have been very pleased with their work. They went above and beyond the call of duty in trouble shooting a wierd problem w/ my old 85 S-10 and only charged me a portion of what they could have. On other occasions they have explained why i didn't need a repair that i though i did and saved me lots of money. They are very firendly and offer customer rides to work within the general area.

I've used their services at least half a dozen times and they are always responsive (they always call me, instead of me having to check in with them) and timely (in all cases but one hard-to-diagnose one, they have had the repairs done on the day I bring in the car). They explain the repairs to me and and when they fix something, it's fixed. They're located down the street from where I work and I recommend them to all my co-workers.

My husband (a mechanic) has always worked on my car, but
since I have temporarily relocated to Windsor to be near
by daughter who is attending school here, I needed to find
a mechanic to do some work on my Toyota pickup. A friend
suggested Day Hill Automotive, and then I checked out
Cartalk.com to see what reviews they might have. I have to
say that I agree with all the reviews already written. I
have feel like I am treated fairly and am dealing with
people of integrity. The pricing is fair, the work done
quickly and completely. I highly recommend them to friends
who live here.

I have used Day Hill Auto for over 20 years to service
various vehicles I have owned. I have also referred other
people to them for service work on their vehicles. My adult
children have taken their vehicles to Day Hill Auto for
service work. I have always been satisfied with their work.
They are both competent and honest - a rare combination for
auto repair businesses. When I came to them for work that
was not in their area of expertise, they referred me to
others who were the experts. I would recommend them to
anyone who wants quality work done on their vehicle by
people who know what they are doing.

These guys are the best mechanics that we've ever had work
on our vehicles, and this is over 45 years! We even have
our kids take their cars there. They're honest and their
prices are reasonable. Their business is well-run and
clean, and they know what they don't know.
Our family can recommend Day Hill Motors without
reservation - any time to anyone.

Have always found fair and reasonable and good service.
When they think they cannot perform work satisfactory i.e.
electrical type problems they have been upfront, taken a
look and given an honest opinion if they can tackle. (I
had this issue with A/C control switch.)

I came to this website looking for a mechanic to fix my
daughter's non-working windshield wipers, because I had received
what I considered an unreasonable quote from an area chain-
store shop. I called Day Hill for an appointment, and my car was dropped
off the next day. I had a call back quickly stating the
problem, the price of part and labor, and the car was fixed
on time. You can't ask for more than that. I am a single
mother with 2 teenage drivers at home and will return to
Day Hill Automotive next time we have a problem.

I've given Paul and Keith a "blank check" many times, and they have never done work that wasn't needed, even when I told them that I thought it was. They called me and said that it was fine and didn't need to be fixed (brakes, hoses, belts, etc). I would recommend them to anybody.

The best. Reasonable, excellent work and friendly. They have worked on all my cars for many years.
