I needed my back light changed and they found that my battery was leaking acid and needed to be changed immediately. I was driving to New Jersey the next day, so I was very grateful that they found this problem and fixed it. Today I was driving home in the snow and my tire light went on. I drove back to them and they checked my tires and put air in them for no charge. I have always received wonderful service from this business and I would highly recommend them.

Guys a thief. Half the time he cant figure out what is wrong, even something as simple as a tire leak. Other times, he cant fix it the first time, or the second, or the third. And dont be fooled, he doesn't do all his own work, he farms out the bigger or more complex jobs to others who are just as incompetent and could care just as little. He engages in both insurance and warranty fraud. he charges customers for replacing parts he never replaces and services he never performs. Having earned himself the title of "The Clamp King" for his belief he can fix any automotive issue by putting clamps on it and the customer will not notice, no repair he makes can be counted on to last or be done correctly. Complete A-hole. Although, maybe you could bring him something like a ford escort and he could figure out where the washer fluid goes.Maybe. But he'll probably just throw and bunch of clamps on it and say its fixed hoping you dont know it. Consistently screws customers and credit card companies by not touching cars that are brought back to him for his screwing up the repair the first time, hoping to not restart the clock on the claim. He has mastered the art of escaping liability for his malfeasance because he has faced every type of claim throughout the history of this business which should tell you all you need to know. The only way he stays in business is through police and organized crime connection in the sh*t bag state of rhode island.
