Andy’s Auto & Small Engine Service

***** TEN STARS *****
-
Mike at Andy’s Auto is a godsend.

My car was in an accident, and while a local body shop completed the body work, they couldn’t manage the mechanical issues. I found Andy’s Auto on my own, and I am super thankful that they exist. This is your local auto shop that really knows what your car needs and can diagnose and resolve all kinds of mechanical issues.

My car wasn’t shifting, and it was making weird noises. Check engine light was on, the whole deal. Mike took care of it all. While my crummy insurance company didn’t help at all, Mike resolved all of my car’s issues and did a heck of a job doing it.

Mike has extensive experience working on cars, especially Subarus and turbocharged vehicles. This was especially awesome to learn, given that my car is a Subaru Forester Turbocharged. Mike knew his stuff. He showed me all the things that needed attention and broke down the cost. He didn’t make any repairs until I saw and authorized them. He showed me parts that were worn, explained why they needed to be replaced. He even does tires and balancing. It cost me a bit to have this work done, but Mike isn’t going to screw you over. He’s passionate, energetic, and truly enjoys his work. And as an added plus, he brings his awesome dog, Clifford, to work. Clifford is a Rhodesian Ridgeback and super super friendly. I am a dog-​guy; I was more excited to see the dog than my car.

But yes, this is the type of place that I wholeheartedly recommend. It’s the type of place that makes me grateful for a place like Unilocal where I can spread the word about such an awesome mechanic. Mike is now my guy, and I’m taking my car back there when it needs it’s next oil change (and timing belt replacement!). Thanks Mike!!!

This is my first time writing a review about a business but I feel compelled to put in words how extrordinarily lucky we are to have two excellent mechanics in our town of Groton. I have been a repeat customer of Andy’s Auto over the years after having not such a nice experience at another mechanic in town. Mike and Dean are two of the most reliable, hard working, honest and ethically minded mechanics I have ever met. Whenever there is a problem, I know I can go to them and get the problem fixed pay a fair and reasonable rate and be on my way.
Just recently, my daughter was involved in an accident and we had her vehicle towed to Andy’s Auto. In desperation, we had to buy an older, used Toyota. Mike asked me to bring the car in before I bought it so he and Dean could look it over. After a thorough inspection, they told me what they found and I was able to negotiate a lower price for the car. When I went to pay Mike for his service he said ‚“no worries, I just wanted to make sure you had a safe car for your daughter.” Where do you get service like that?
If I could, I would give Andy’s Auto 10 red stars.

These guys are the real deal. Mike and Dean are extraordinarily skilled and knowledgeable, fair and totally honest. Plus their prices are very reasonable. They actually recommended I not dump more money into one of my cars and go get something newer — good for me but not so profitable for them. Everybody I know that uses them has nothing but good things to say about them.
