Carpenter Lane Garage

DO NOT GO HERE
Honesty and integrity are two values this shop and its employees are seriously lacking. Don’t let the quaint neighborhood storefront fool you, this is no friendly neighborhood mechanic. If you want to pay $ 160 for an oil chance and inspection, this is the place for you. But who wants to pay that when everywhere else charges $ 100 at most.
BEWARE OF SCAMMERS

I’ve been going to Carpenter Lane Garage for about 10 years now. I’ve never been anything but satisfied. I have used them for things as simple as oil changes and state inspections to things like brakes, tires, tune ups etc. Recently I developed a nasty driveline vibration in my BMW 740i. I had taken it by a «BMW Specialist» as well as a BMW Dealer. Both wanted to clober me over the head just to even look at it. I know the owner of CLG also has a BMW 740 so I figured I’d run by. I was super impressed with how friendly and talkative he was with me about diagnosing the issue and what he thought some of the possible culprits might be. He even went as far as to have another guy come in from Cardone (an engineer who builds auto parts) to look at the joints in the driveshaft. Sure enough the isolated it to a dried up joint in the driveshaft, repacked it and had me on my way for very little money. I have since had the car back to him for some other preventative maintenance thigns I wanted addressed and again, the prices were great. It’s very refreshing to find honesty in this business after eharing so many horror stories about people getting taken by mechanics who are just out to line their own pockets. Definitely an A+ in my book. Very professional, friendly, knowledgable and most importantly, fair!
