Description of Work: They did major work on the brakes and steering system. Took almost a week to get repairs done and came in over quote. They work with loyal customers to set up payment plan if needed.

I was able to obtain and quick and convenient appointment for full brake service. The staff was courteous and helpful. I chose to have the brakes done by the provider instead of my dealer, which saved me approx $150 off of the dealer's quote. Only downfall was that because the parts used were not dealer supplied, the brakes only lasted for about 2 years (40,000 miles) instead of the 80,000 miles I got from my first round of factory brakes. That's a given though. I would definitely bring my car back to Route 5 for future services/repairs if needed. On another note, I prefer to continue to bring my car to the dealer for regular oil changes, as I consider Route 5's charges to be too high for an oil change (approx. $30).
Description of Work: Full front and rear brake service. Oil change service.

I had gotten completely fed up with bring my cars back to dealerships, two, three sometimes more times to get the same problem looked at, only to get a different story each time. At route 5 auto, I've never had an issue with any of the work they've done. My cars are a 2002 and 2006 so I need a good mechanic. I feel secure that, when there is a problem with any of my vehicles, Kenny and his team will return my car to me or my wife in good and safe operating condition.
Description of Work: Have used Rte 5 Auto Repair for both our automobiles since January of 2012. The owners and staff are very professional and will always explain the issue and the solution to you so you thoroughly understand what you paying for. If you ask them to call you with an estimate before beginning work, they will. They have done this for me on several occasions. I've had Rt 5, replace an engine, replace a starter. replace brakes and tires. Do oil changes and replace headlamp casings. I have been satisfied with the quality of their work every time.

After explaining what I knew of the prohlem I informed the manager (owner?) that it was very important to me to have an estimate of repairs before they proceeded. Unfortunately, the only contact I had from them was to tell me that the car was ready and would cost, as I recall, about $1,000. Not only had they installed the starter without my permission, the one they installed cost $200 more than one I could have purchased a local auto parts stores. The manager stated that he would not use 'inferior' products, though he did not even know which starter I would use, nor would he tell me the manufacturer of the one he used. He did offer a minimal reduction in price ($50), but that did not offset the lack of an estimate or the high cost of the part. They do seem to do good, quality work. Unfortunately, this lapse in professionalism has made me leary to use them again.
Description of Work: Volvo V70 towed to them because it would not start. Service code and dash lights indicated a problem with a transmission switch, but they could not identify same. They ultimately installed a new starter.
