We ve been using Ron s for years! Ron and his team are absolutely amazing. The only place I go and trust to get any work done on my car. Recently I was having an issue with my breaks and had plans to head out of town the next day. Ron and his team were able to accommodate me last minute and get me back on the road so quickly. I would highly recommend you check out Ron s. They re honest and knowledgeable and most importantly they care!

Only place I trust! I have an 03 Ford Mustang I ve brought in a few times for various fixes and Ron & team have been quick, reliable and more than fair with pricing. As a young woman I m often worried about getting overcharged and I ve never once had to worry about that here!!

My truck had an endemic engine problem that the dealer could not fix, even after multiple visits and oil flushes (that I had to pay for). Ron's not only fixed the problem, but they did not replace parts unnecessarily until they were sure those parts were needed to fix the problem. On top of being competent, they are honest. I highly recommend them.

I've been happily going to Ron for about 10 year, and wish him well in his new location. Ron has always been a straight shooter, reviewing needs and options, and treating my wife and I with great respect. Workmanship and service has been top notch. If I had to sum it up with one word, it would be"integrity".Update - 6 years later (2023)Still impressed with Ron's service and caring. Ron and his staff continue to care from my growing fleet of cars and continue to treat my wife and children with professionalism. Whether it be investigating a warning light, searching for an oil leak, or replacing brakes, the staff at Ron's communicates well, offers options, and provide great service.Updated April 2024Ron's to the rescue. I appeared unannounced at the garage at 8:15 am, with a slow leak in a tire. Ron had me back on the road by 8:45 am. Thanks for the continued service!

Had to get my wheels balanced and an alignment before a long drive to a car show, I called a day prior and they said bring it in the morning. I didn t say I needed it absolutely done before a went to work, I should ve asked that when making the appointment. But after many phones calls and talking to Ron in person he said he too should have asked and it was just a mess up on everyone s part. Gave me such a fair price, even let me run home and grab my wallet which I stupidly forgot. Super happy with the car and appreciate the guys at Ron s so so much.

Ron was excellent to deal with. I needed a new engine in my son's Audi and he helped me from start to finish with finding a good used engine and replacing it for me. I highly recommend Ron's and will use them again. They did a great job at a fair price and the communication was excellent through out. Thanks Ron to you and your staff

Ron s fixed an oil leak on my VW Passat and replaced the timing belt. I was impressed with their thoroughness and attention to detail. The oil leak was not easy to diagnose and they spent extra time with the car to make certain the issue was properly diagnosed and repaired. Ron genuinely cares about his customers and I would definitely recommend this garage if you are looking for an honest mechanic.

We sent our car to their shop for repair estimation, and they asked to park the car overnight in their parking lot. They called and gave estimation the second day. We decide not to proceed. We got our car back the second day afternoon. The car was damaged in the front. It was hit by some other car in their parking lot. They said they don t responsible for anything happen in their parking lot and they don t have video in their parking lot as well. Just be aware. We were disappointed the way they deal with this situation.

I was so pleased with my service at Ron's Automotive. I scheduled an oil change and brake replacement because the place I used to bring my car said I needed brakes and it would cost approx. $650. I decided to call Ron's for an estimate since they are much closer than the previous place which they quoted me $450-500, so I made my appt. After dropping off my car, Ron was so kind to call and inform me that I didn't need brakes after all and when I picked up my car, showed me with his guide where my brakes were so I could understand. I appreciated his honesty so much, I will definitely bring my cars to him in the future. Had I brought my car to the other place, I would have unnecessarily spent $650. Thank you Ron!Service: Oil change

I've been going to Ron's for almost a decade now. He and his associates have been the most honest, punctual, accommodating, easy-going and fairly priced shop I have been too. They don't beat around the bush, are precise on their inspections and give honest estimates for repair time length. More so they never get annoyed or lose their cool when you pester them twice a day for an update when you get antsy ;). 5/5 all day.

If I could give a 10-star review I would. From start to finish, this was a fantastic experience. One day last week my husband went to leave our home for a few errands. Before making it to the end of the street, the temperature gauge was alarming and the car began to shut down due to overheating. He got it back to the house but it appeared there was a coolant issue/leak. Called around to multiple places and was told it could be anything from a small leak to needing a new engine. Dealerships couldn't get us in for weeks, so we called Ron based on some positive feedback we had received from a Facebook group and had it towed into his shop. I can't say enough about Ron and his team. He had the car for 3 days, put it through all sorts of testing and determined the k-seal my husband added likely stopped whatever leak was there. Didn't charge us a dime! We will definitely use Ron in the future and will recommend to all we know.Service: Auto engine diagnostic

Whenever I have a car problem that is over my head I take it to Ron's and I am always satisfied with his service and results. Ron is trustworthy and always has your best interest.Experience #1 - I went to a nearby dealer to buy a part. I got talked into doing a test at the dealer and they came back saying I didn't need the part and that the real issue was my water pump. They wanted to charge over $1K for the total repair. A friend recommended Ron's Automotive. It was late in the day and I called his shop and told him I needed a new water pump. His quote was a lot lower. I got to his shop after hours and dropped my car and key off without meeting Ron or anyone there. Early the next morning I got a call and Ron explained that I didn't need a new water pump. All I needed was a the part that I was originally going to buy. The quote he gave me for the repair was more than fair.Experience #2 - Got a quote for a repair. He ordered the part and had the repair done in just a few days. When I went to pay he mentioned that the repair was a bit quicker than he had quoted me and took off the time it didn't take. I was blown away by his honesty. I was more than willing to pay the quoted price and Ron was up front and honest.Service: General repairs & maintenance

after getting the run around from a toyota service repair telling me first its this, no its something different, then saying no we found the problem " all of your fuel injectors are no good due to possible fuel contamination" for a quote of about 7200.00. this is a 2017 toyota tacoma truck with only 22500 miles on it. I was at a superbowl party and telling some friends about it and after i left they told some friends of theirs that came after i left and they told them to tell me to I should bring it to Ron's automotives. so I had it towed to Ron's. he called me five hours later and said i have good news and bad news. the bad news is its the Hi flow fuel pump and that cost about 4000.00 but the good news is I called a friend at the Hoffmans service department and he looked up your VIN number and said it was in the some kind of warranty enchantment and it was covered but I had to have it done by a toyota service department. so I had it towed there. ron is a honest person and i will bring my car/truck to him from now on. check out my hoffman's toyota review to see what happened once I got it towed to them. nothing but rip offsService: Auto engine diagnostic

Finding a good & TRUSTWORTHY mechanic can be really hard, especially not being from the area Ron was recommended to me by a local police officer and I couldn t be happier. You can tell Ron is a genuine guy with a very nice and helpful staff. It feels great knowing that they would never gouge me and they ll only perform work that NEEDS to be performed. I finally got my local mechanic!Service: Tires

True story. Earlier this month, after filling up my gas tank on a frigid morning, I wasn't able to close the fuel filler door to lock it. I thought perhaps the sub-freezing temperature was the culprit. A couple of days went by and I still could not close it, so I took it to the well-known dealership in the Farmington Valley to have the problem diagnosed. I sat in the waiting room for about 20-30 minutes before the service advisor called my name. I walked out to the service desk area and was handed a printout of the repair estimate: $622.49. I was floor. The service advisor agreed to lower the price by about $75 but I thought it was still outrageously high. I asked to speak to the service manager, and he lowered the price down to $474.30 before taxes and something called "Shop Charges." Figuring I'd still be paying more than $500 to repair something that seemed minor, I walked out the door. The next day I came back and explained my situation to the Service Manager's boss. The man talked to the Service Manager and came back with a new price, agreeing to take $100 off the price, bringing it down to $374.30 before taxes and "Shop Charges." I asked if he could do better but he said that was the best he could do. Mind you, I had been taking my vehicle to this dealership for years. As a longtime customer, I felt as if I was being unfairly treated and couldn't help feel that I was being overcharged. (Yes, I know dealerships are notorious for this). Anyhow I told the man that if I walk out the door without getting this fixed at this dealership for a more reasonable price, I'm never walking through that door again to have my vehicle serviced. He didn't seem to care. Sitting in my vehicle in the parking lot, I was furious. I decided to call Ron's Automotive because I had heard great things about the place and read really good reviews. I explained the issue with the fuel filler door and was told to bring the vehicle in the following week in the morning and they could have someone take a look at it. And I'm extremely pleased that I did. As it turned out, the latch was frozen inside. The technician at Ron's pulled my vehicle into a stall and told me he was going to use a heating device to unfreeze it. Sure enough, the problem was corrected....at no charge! Think about that for a second, I was quoted more than $600 by a dealership to do a repair that literally took 10 minutes. This was my first time at Ron's and it certainly won't be my last. Any maintenance, any oil changes, I'm taking my vehicle to Ron's going forward. Thanks so much!

AN HONEST MECHANIC Major shout out to Ron s Automotive in Unionville. His life creed is to be honest, do the right thing, and don t focus on the money aspect. He just saved me $1800. Acura of Avon said struts were leaking. Ron says it s only the sway bar.

Honest Auto Service!Saw positive reviews so I thought I would try Ron's for service on my 2008 Saab. Previously, I went to a national franchise operation and was quoted $1000 for brakes as well as being informed that the car had rotted shocks and rotted frame. That didn't sound right to me because I am retired and don't put more than 4k miles a year on this car. Bill, at Ron's, quoted me $700 for the brakes, so I was happy from the start. I brought it over today for Bill to check the car out in person. Upon his inspection, he told me that my brakes weren't that bad and I still had miles left before they needed replacing. The frame was not rotted and the shocks were old but didn't have to be replaced yet. I left there very impressed with Bill's expertise and honesty and not spending anything!Another example of a local business doing honest work for a fair price. When it is time for my Saab service as well as my other car, Ron's Automotive is my choice. I highly recommend Ron's.

We were having car issues and received an astronomical quote from Modern Tire and Auto. We were told about Ron s and stopped in. Ron was helpful and got us in and out within a few days and offered us a loaner car. We will use them from now on.

This place is a 'Gem' of a find. I drive pass this place on a daily basis, always putting it in the back of my mind as a 'go to' place. THEN, the need was there! Ron is warm and welcoming as well as Paul. They were more than accommodating, giving me an appointment right away. This establishment is beyond fair and honest. I definitely will go back for all of my automotive needs. Give them a chance.

Ron has worked on all of our cars - with our Jeep Grand Cherokee being the most recent. Overheating and would not restart - worried about blown head gasket... Got it to start and brought to Ron's his crew had it done in a few hours - new thermostat and radiator - great local people and quick service - give them a shot.

I had my 08 subaru head gasket and radiator replaced. My car drives like a new car. Ron kept me in the loop with everything he needed to do. Even with the extra findings it was still relatively close to the initial quote! Thanks guys! I highly recommended!
