These guys go above and beyond. I come here all the time when I need mechanical repairs, but my car needed body work, which they don’t do themselves. They made arrangements to have the work done. I dropped my car off at their shop and they took care of the entire process! Unbelievable. The car looks like new and I didn’t have to pull out any of my hair.

My car has low mileage but is nevertheless 6 years old.  When my battery died (the morning of a job interview which I had to cancel) I had to call AAA the next day at 7:00 AM.  I the meantime, I contacted this place literally down the hill from me in Fleetwood to make sure they could take me.  They said no problem and I got there around 8:00.

I was pleasantly surprised when they told me they would call me in an hour when it would be ready.  It was about the only good thing to come of that fiasco.  I don't know why I never thought to take my car there before.  Probably because it is next to an Audi Dealer and I thought it was their service department.

So far so good.

They were great!  They fully explained in detail everything they were going to do, providing me with costs upfront and discussed alternatives if I was interested.  Called the moment things were complete and were accommodating to my schedule.

My car is there right now. The service is good. Every now and then they miss some details so I actually had to take the car back a couple of times. They eventually got it right and I did not pay for it. I have an old car, too, so it is kind of hard to say, but I think they could have paid a little more attention to detail. They are very prompt and the service is almost same-day.

Tim took our information over the phone, gave us an appointment time, and we checked in right on time and got the car into the shop.  Never take these simple things for granted at a car repair shop, especially in Mt. Vernon and lower Westchester. The battery had to be replaced and we needed an alignment, but Rino told us that the fluids all looked fine and that we should just "start driving it."  We've taken cars all over Westchester, from dealers to our local gas stations, and the service, professionalism and straightforward communications we experienced with Rino, Vittorio and Tim were new experiences for me.  After we talked about the photos of the Azzuri on their walls, I knew we were in the right place. 
How I wish we would have known about them twenty years ago!  This is the place to take your car and get the straight story.

These folks were so pleasant from the very first call I made. Very courteous and professional. Even took time to have us test the brakes and make sure the felt right. Wow, we are truly impressed!
Response from Total Car Care
"Dear (member name removed), I am so glad that your Mom suggested you try us. We see many cases where cars are not diagnosed properly and unfortunately usually after they already spent money on the repairs. You were smart to get a second opinion and that you came to us. We guarantee every repair. If we do not solve your repair issue we will do what ever it takes to make it right. We will even refund your money if you so choose. Please thank your Mom for us. Vittorio"

Very well. They diagnosed the problem, explained it clearly, gave me an accurate cost and time estimate, fixed the problem, and then called a week later to make sure the car was still working well. The location at the Fleetwood Station is convenient when trying to get around without a car for a few days. I just moved into the area and intend to use Total Car Care as my mechanic.


Response from Total Car Care
"Thank you for the review. We are glad that your problem was easily remedied by the hydraulic hoses and cylinders. We take time to confirm and diagnose your car issues. It was unfortunate that even after all the calls we made to your warranty repair company they would not cover the repairs. Thank you for allowing us to repair your vehicle. Remember we give a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. Vittorio"

Car is getting old and has typical "old car" problems and I am trying to hold off for as long as possible before buying a new one. These guys have been keeping me on the road for months and doing it without breaking the bank. They come up with great alternatives to expensive repairs.
Response from Total Car Care
"[Member name removed]. You own a well built vehicle that is worth keeping alive. Usually repairing what you currently own is the least expensive alternative. We promise to let you know if and when there are better alternatives. We will even do the math on how much your current vehicle costs you per month so that you can make a more informed decision. Thank you for you support. Vittorio"

Total Car Care/Angie?s List

7/3/2014

I had gone to my dealership for the repair of my cars AC.  They found that I didn?t have any
freon in the system, so they put some in along with a dye. They told me if the 
charge of freon works so be it but if I notice the car getting warm I?m to come
back & they will be able to see where the leak is & fix it.  I was charged $121.00 for the visit.

I hadn?t used the car for a week & when I did I found that the AC was blowing warm air same as before. 
 I brought the car back to the dealer and they gave me a price for the repair.  I asked
the manager if he was going to apply any of the money that I paid a week ago, because they did not
fix the problem.  He said ?no he couldn?t?, so I refused the service and left.  
 
I found Total Car Care on Angie?s list.  They gave me an estimate for the repair and scheduled the repair for the next day. 
They were prompt, courteous and they matched the dealer?s price and in addition gave me a 10% discount. 
They warranty their work & the part for 12 months. 
My AC works great.

PS?Most people think that a dealer?s price is higher than most repair shops,
 well, when it came to this repair there wasn?t any replacement parts therefore,
the part had to be ordered from manufacture. I know this because I got another
estimate before I went to Total Car Care and they said the same thing and
wanted an additional $75.00 more than the dealer and they didnt offer a discount.
I did very well with Total Car Care and I would use them again.
Response from Total Car Care

The price they quoted was significantly less than the Toyota dealership. The only snag was they ordered the part and had me drive over for the repair then told me they needed another part. So I had to come back again and turns out they had not needed that second part. Obviously they did not charge me for it, the only harm done was I had to make an extra round trip. Given their reasonable price for the labor, it was worth it. The work was perfect.
Response from Total Car Care
"[member name removed], Sorry about the misinformation. We should have checked the info given to us by Toyota. I am glad that we were able to supply and install your mirror and save you some money at the same time. Please feel free to call us about any other car concerns. We are always available for second opinions about needed repairs. We offer a 10% Angies List discount on top of our already low prices. Vittorio"

"[member name removed], Thank you for the A score for overall satisfaction an allowing us to service your VW Jetta. If price is ever an issue we are open to comparing and matching estimates from our competitors. We use a national database for estimating and generating estimates and invoices. The labor times are what the manufacturer estimates as a reasonable time for completing the particular job when the vehicle is new. We like to use O.E.M. parts (original equipment to the manufacturer). Choosing more generic alternatives is a good way to save money. We appreciate customer's input on the care of their vehicles. Sincerely, Vittorio"

Victor, Rino and the entire crew at Total Car Care are simply the best.  My husband and I have used them for over 10 years.  They always call before performing any work to let me know what the problem is (and sometimes advise NOT to have the work done, saving me time and money) and their work is impeccable -- we've never had a problem.  They are honest, their prices are reasonable, they are punctual, and they treat us like family.  They are the only shop we entrust our cars to!

The two partners/owners threw each other under the boss when they failed in communicating the expected completion of the body work.  The car was returned with an unresolved issue regarding the system warning lights noted above.
Response from Total Car Care
"Dear [member name removed] I am so sorry you did not have a good experience. I agree that the car was returned to you with the check engine light on. I spoke to you about that before you picked up the car. The insurance estimator missed that and it was never part of the original repairs. Neither you nor the insurance company ever paid for any work pertaining to your complaint. I also offered you a free rental car since you did not have rental coverage on your insurance. As for the difference in the time it took, we still completed the car in the time allowed by the insurance. However you did leave out the fact that you liked the rest of the job. I also informed you that you had a brake rotor issue that was covered under the new car warranty and I believe that it was taken care of at no charge to you. I believe I made every effort to take care of your needs and that I never refused to help you. You did not make me aware of any of your dissatisfactions. I only learned about them in your review. I am sure I would have taken care of any of the issues if you made them known to me. I apologize for any inconveniences. If you still have the original issue, I am willing to repair it at no cost to you. Vittorio"
