Great.  We've had brakes done, timing belts, all our oil changes, window motors replaced.  They are great if you can drop the car off and leave it.  Otherwise, the wait is a while.  Schedule visits if possible.

My 'check engine' light came on, so I took my car in to get it checked out.  There was a sensor and a hose that were malfunctioning--sorry, I don't have the exact info in front of me.  They had to order a part from out of state, so I was given a loaner car overnight.  Dave and his crew are the best--highly professional, very conscientious.  I wouldn't take my car anywhere else for service.

Altogether in two different visits it was about $3,000. I would give them a D for dishonesty. I felt like the service was good and courteous. David Newman comes across as a very sincere, kind, informed mechanic. But I now know after the fact that he did something that was completely unnecessary and cost double what I thought the bill would be without that service. I will never go back there again because I do not trust him, although he seemed trustworthy at the beginning.

I felt like I was taken advantage of because I was a woman buying a vehicle. The day I bought the car, it had to be towed somewhere.

I have only used them once. They gave me an estimate and also did the work. I think he is honest and did a good job, but he also was on the expensive side. I would use them again in the future if necessary.

I called the next day to thank them because it was running so smooth! The vibration was gone, the power was back, and I was happy! I used to repair cars in the 70's and love the sound of driving a smooth running car. And there is a special pride in keeping a car in good enough repair to go over 200,000 miles. I highly recommend Newman's!
