Mc Carthy's Auto Repair & Services

"I stopped by as my tire light came on and I had the gentleman who was there check my tire pressure and he had to put air in one of the back tires as it was low. I was very appreciative as I am having a problem with my back and have trouble bending over to do it."

"I called to see if Kevin could help me out with my daughters car that had some issues. And since she is a college student and I was over an hour away, he said to have it towed here and I'll take a look.. So we did, he went through the vehicle, found some problems and gave good options and good advice. Also a fair and honest price , which is rare these days. I highly recommend him for any auto service. Thanks again."

"My husband called this business for help with my jeep (he was on. Speaker phone). Husband called as I was recommended by the number of positive reviews. When I called both the secretary and mechanic were very rude to my husband He told them what I thought the issue was (Evap light) and they gave him nothing but a hard time as a local Bristol resident and business owner I would be hesitant to do any further business with this establishment. All We wanted them to do was take a look at my vehicle and they even refused that, seems like they’re only trying to make a quick easy buck. Great news there are other automotive businesses within Bristol and Warren."

"So yesterday I hit an ice dam and took out the front and back flanges of the exhaust system. Ordinarily this would involve replacing the whole system including the expensive catalytic converter , as these components have factory welded flanges that connect them together. Most shops would have gone this route. However, Kevin, knowing I didn't want to put a lot of money into an old car, and seeing that the system itself was solid, recommended simply welding new flanges on the two units. THAT was a no-brainer for me. $145.35 and one day later the car runs quiet, like it never even happened! I've been a salesman for over 40 years and am pretty keen at sizing up individuals and right from the get go I could tell the guy was solid. He did not disappoint. GO TO KEVIN. Your car and your wallet will thank you!"

"My son Dylan is a student in the area, home is in northern Vermont. He had a noise in his car after returning from Christmas break. I looked up McCarthy's number based on the fact that we had called them once before for an issue and they were very helpful. I gave my son the number and he called and went over. He took Kevin for a ride. Come to find out his lug nuts had loosened on his trip back to school. A quick fix that was easily taken care of but could of ended in bad results. I am very thankful that he has someone he can go to since home is 6 hours away. God bless an honest mechanic with a good heart!"
