I was told i needed an engine for my car so my friends told me to go to ajs garage they checked my car and found it was only an intake leak they repaired it at and runs great and only cost me 285.00 which the other garage would of cost me 3500.00 thank you guys you are great these guys are very good with engine they showed me after in was taken apart and you could see were the gaskets on the engine rotten away causing my car run very bad and fail emissions

Great place to have emissions done and the people are very nice and explain about the program and the repair technicians i was able to take to them about my car

This place is bad news! Brought my car to them for some simple service items including an oil change. $150.00 later. I was going on a road trip the next day and decided to take a look under the hood. I checked the oil level.....overfilled. I brought the car back, they did adjust the level. Within five miles of driving my check engine light came on. I ended up still driving the 10 hour round trip with the light on,worried if my car was going to break down the whole trip.After I returned, I brought the car back, again. They put a scanner on it and told me the O2 sensor must have gone bad..... 200 plus labor. I was an ASE certified auto tech, and this just seemed suspicious. After bringing my car to another garage and investigating the issue I discovered the sensor wire was unplugged at the chassis of the vehicle. This plug type connection does not just " fall out". After that experience I wouldn't recommend this facility to anyone unless you like throwing your money out the window and ma

Worst place ever they are all crooks they will steel from you and lie about it. Dont ever go here

Went to AJ's Automotive for what I thought would be a routine Emissions Inspection. However when the inspection was done, and I attempted to drive home, my Honda Accord would not start. I waited for over an hour for AJ's to fix whatever they did wrong to my car, but to my shock and utter disappointment they told me that my immobilizer control unit failed, and would have to be replaced at a cost of $500+ dollars, including an $85.00 Diagnostic charge for finding out what was wrong with the car--a charge that I never authorized, as I assumed that they were attempting to fix the problem that they themselves caused to my car. I knew that I was being terribly wronged here, so I requested to have them tow my car to my dealer Curtiss Ryan Honda (and reluctantly paid the unauthorized and unwarranted $85.00 Diagnostic charge to have my car released to me); and to add insult to injury, AJ's had the nerve to charge me $125.00 to tow my car the mere 4.27 miles to get it there! Not surprisingly, the very nice and honest mechanic that I dealt with at Curtiss Ryan Honda shook his head and rolled his eyes when I told him what happened at AJ's, and ended up repairing my car for $250.00--less than half of AJ's quoted price! After speaking to some other very experienced, reputable, and honest mechanics about what happened at AJ's, I decided to file a complaint against AJ's with the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, who told me that although the Towing charge appeared unreasonably high, that it was not illegal for AJ's to set this relatively high towing fee; although after speaking to several other towing services, I discovered that I could have had my car towed for considerably less money elsewhere. As far as the unauthorized $85.00 Diagnostic Fee was concerned, I contacted my credit card company to dispute it and won the decision! My credit card company also felt that the towing charge was excessive and immoral, and was nice enough to credit me an additional $50.00 in an attempt to do the right thing for me. I remain convinced that AJ's Automotive caused my immobilizer unit to fail, and thus should have given me the benefit of the doubt and fixed it for free in order to return the car back to me in the same condition as when I brought it to them for an emissions test--working and driveable!!! Thus in summary, beware of additional, controversial, repairs that AJ's claims your car will need over and above the initial repairs that you bring your car in to AJ's for; and don't be surprised if AJ's charges you significantly more than even an automotive dealer, for repairs (and excessively high towing charges, that he can unfortunately get away with), as this repair shop appears to be only about maximizing profits, at the expense of the consumer's wallet. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

I've been going to AJ's for service on all of my cars & trucks for 24 yrs. and have always been satisfied with all work performed. In the past, he has fixed things that other service establishments weren't able to fix. I would recommend this business for all of your automotive repair needs both import & domestic.

My family and I have gone to AJ's for many years. He and his staff always do a top notch job. They take the time to show and explain to you exactly what is going on with your vehicle and they call around to get you the best price on parts they can. I have no hesitation recommending AJ's to anyone and have to co-workers, family and friends!

I was a customer for several years. Recently I brought my vehicle in, and was told I needed a new motor. AJ quoted me 3000.00. I told him to do it. 10 days later I called and was told it was not ready, and that it would be an additional$ 1000.00 to 1200.00. I took it somewhere else and was told I needed a sensor and a fuel injection cleaning.I paid about $400.00, and its running great. Since then I have put a couple of thousand miles and have had no problem. AJ lost my trust,respect and business.

Very helpful and doesn't charge for many minor repairs. Been going there for several years. Highly recommend especially for older cars. AJ will offer rebuild parts if appropriate saving you a Lot of cash.
