THEY STAND READY TO SERVICE YOU OR PROVIDE REPAIRS AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE HAD A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT. WORKMANSHIP PAR EXCELLANCE. Patrick and Thad run a top notch repair shop. High Gear has worked on our cars and trucks for nearly 7 years. EVERYTHING they do is perfect or they don't send it out on the road. Over 200,000 miles of service. We are extremely satisfied! I was in Florida visiting my parents and stopped in before heading back to CT to have things checked over, and this place was recommended. I have to say, they were absolutely amazing. Not only did the owner Thad spend nearly 10 minutes answering questions I had about whether I should trade in my car and what makes have the best track record (the transmission is starting to act up), they didn't charge me anything for the service or try to sell me something it didn't need! I wish I lived nearby so I could make them my go-to mechanic. How often do you actually feel GOOD about paying for auto service? It's pretty rare. But that's how I feel about this shop. The quality of work at the shop is rare, too. I obtained service on my 2005 Toyota 4Runner at a different local shop. 200 miles later the engine had a major problem; that mechanic said I needed a new engine, and didn't believe the new problem was related to his recent work. Patrick heard the story and suggested he might be able to repair the engine at half the cost of a new (used) one. In deed, he did that, and identified the problem caused at the prior shop. Few mechanics have the formal training that Patrick has (his partner is one of them). Add to that, their professionalism, honesty, friendly staff out front. They told me what service was worth doing, and work isn't worth it. It's SO satisfying to know that I've found MY mechanic for as long as I live in the area. Don't you wish you could find competent and fair mechanics who will treat your car and your wallet just like their own? People who will shoot you absolutely straight on what's needed, and just as importantly, on what isn't needed? In short, folks you can trust completely? Well, if you're reading this review of High Gear Automotive, then you have found them. My experience with High Gear over the years has been excellent. The owners, staff and mechanics are very knowledgeable and capable on both import and domestic cars and trucks. Diagnostics with my car problems are quite thorough and their recommendations have me as the customer in mind. They are very good in correctly resolving the most difficult issues. High Gear is a no nonsense organization that gets the job done promptly, efficiently and at a very reasonable cost. Give them a try, they provide top notch service and are very customer friendly. Their waiting room is very clean, bright and comfortable. Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption. Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
