Master mechanics. I came in with worries and left with knowledge and my problems completely solved. A very thorough and professional business. Quality and actual care is what you get. And get what you pay for.

Went in to check a rattle, they figured out fast, and it was an easy fix that they finished I ten minutes, and they didn't charge me! I didn't think there were any honest mechanics left in the world.

It's sad how the allure of money changes someone (in this case, Guy) who you thought was a trusted and skilled mechanic. I had a simple engine splash plate underneath the car get loose and just needed that replaced. As you can imagine, it's a simple job that would take a maximum of 2 hours (and that's being kind considering that this was a slow day for his shop). He tied up the loose plate underneath for the time-being with a piece of metal in order to prevent it from sliding on the ground while i drive. This would holdover until tomorrow. He told me it'd be $120 total (about $60+ for parts and the rest for labor, which I originally thought was outrageously high but I trusted his skill and experience with me in the past so I went with it--oh boy was I wrong!). He wanted a $50 deposit that would go towards the final price at the end.We were slated to do this the next day, but a few hours after first seeing him about this plate issue, I called him to ask him why the aftermarket part was so expensive because I researched online and saw that the Honda plate is about $80-$90, and I couldn't find an aftermarket one that costs more than $50. He said it's because I want it done quick the next day (considering it's not the same day, is it really quick? but ok, again, another thing I did not contest because he did a good job for me in the past) and that's the only place that sells it for next-day delivery (what place? i didn't bother to ask because, again, i trusted his previous record with me). I was standing there with him in his shop while he called to ask for the part. He didn't even call many places for the part; only one place. Looking back, I should've said something.Tomorrow's here and I dropped my car off at the time we agreed upon. I left the car there. About an hour later, he calls me from two different phone numbers asking me "hey where is your wheel lock?" 21 minutes after he called me and left a voicemail, I called him back (yes I'm looking at my call history right now). I told his secretary that the wheel lock is in the glove compartment and I told her to tell him that I would like to have the car up so that I can look underneath it to inspect the work and the new part (you'll see later at the end of this review that I never got to see the work with the car up so I can look and touch the part). 2 hours and 45 minutes after I dropped the car off, he called to tell me it was ready to get picked up. An hour went by and I went to pick it up. HERE IS WHERE GUY'S AUTOMOTIVE BECAME GUY THE SCAMMER. I entered the shop and asked Guy "hey can you have the car up so that I can take a look at it?" Guy says "lay low on the floor and look at it, it's new so you can tell." I did just that and as far as I can tell, yeah it's a newer part. I checked a few more times after, I still can't tell if it's been used but it's definitely newer than the one I had before--but that's a very low bar considering that the one I had was scraping the floor for like 20 miles going about 60-70 mph on I-95 before I brought it to him. I let that slide but I was already smelling Mr. Scammer working up tricks. I went back into the shop and Guy tells me "yeah we didn't end up using many rubber screws for the job so I'll give you a discount of $3 off that $120, so you're looking at $117." Ok, that's fine. And then here is the KICKER. Guy then says "yeah but listen, we had to go look for the wheel lock because we waited for you to call back so now the total is $167. Oh and by the way, I never was able to find the wheel lock." 20 minutes of waiting costs an extra $47? I couldn't wrap my head around this so I said "uh yeah you're raising the price by a lot, I can't accept this." He knew he was up to his BS limit (or what most people would call LYING) so he then said "ok let's meet in the middle. Let's split the $47 in half which is $24 and you can p

I was traveling down from Massachusetts to NJ when I started having wheel problems. I tried calling a number of repair shops in Bridgeport, not expecting much luck on a Saturday afternoon. Then I called Guy's. Guy himself answered, initially saying he was only there for pickups and drop-offs. But after I explained the problem he said he would take a look and see what he could do. Long story short, he installed a new axle on my German car in an hour. (The part he ordered came in 15 mins!) Before he did any work he took me under the car so I could see exactly what the issue was. Then he let me stand with him in the garage while we worked. Absolutely nothing to hide: just good, old-fashioned craftsmanship. Not only was I out of there quickly, but he charged me less than the original estimate, saying "it actually wasn't as tricky as the computer said it would be." Wish I lived in Bridgeport, because I'd be back here for sure.

Are you serious? We used Guy's for at least 25 years before moving out of state. He and Pete are the best mechanics; honest; straight up tell you the truth and nothing but the truth; don't charge for things you don't need but always will alert you to the things you DO and MIGHT need to keep your car running the way it should. They don't make 'em like this any more. In fact, the only ripoff I ever ran into was at dealerships, where I was more than once advised to sign up for services I neither needed nor could afford. In contrast, Guy's was the place I took our cars and left it in their capable hands to "tell me what's wrong" ... I never got a bum steer and we always were given the option of taking the low-cost route if that's what our budget dictated. An auto craftsman who runs his business on the up and up. Don't be fooled by the less than glamorous surroundings. Yes, you're in the right place! And that's that!

I've taken both of my cars to Guy for years and have always been impressed with the straight forward, no nonsense approach. The staff is always friendly and helpful. No problem is too small. All of the people at Guy's are well trained and honest. I've never once been told I had to have something serviced when it was working just fine. There's never been any surprise charges on my bill. They tell you what you need done, they do it and they tell you up front what it will entail. I hope to never have to find another service garage because these men are a tough act to follow!
