Another excellent experience with Greg at Vautrin Auto. Earlier this year Audi dealership warned me that timing belt would require changing soon, but their quoted price was way too much. Needless to say, check engine light recently went on in my Audi Q5. I contacted Greg who was busy as ever but still managed to squeeze my suv in his schedule. He quickly diagnosed the problem and confirmed what was expected. Greg was very honest in letting me know that it would take some time for him to work on the suv, and after a few days he replaced the timing belt and few other items needed, all way under quoted dealer price. His willingness to help customers and professionalism are what make Vautrin Auto my go-to Auto service shop.Service: Engine repair

My family has been having it's cars cared for by Greg and his team for decades. He's the best - kind, honest, helpful, on time, and reasonably priced. We hang on to our cars a long time and he helps keep them running. We all drive Subarus - he's great at them.

I never write reviews, but this business deserves a WOW for going beyond the everyday expectations of service. Greg and his team have serviced my cars for nearly 15 years. He is a very knowledgeable mechanic. Vautrin s office manager Denise is patient and thoughtful, scheduling my car to accommodate a breakdown. The team is honest, trustworthy, fair in their pricing and always resourceful in solving problems, even fixing them before they occur. I heartily recommend Greg for consistent and reasonably priced automotive services.

One of the best auto shops out there. Greg is the man. Super nice and is always willing to go out of his way to help. I have a Range Rover and have brought it to the dealership to get different things fixed and they overcharge and do not do as good of a job as Greg does. Highly recommend you go to this mechanic. Greg makes the job clean and simple, great value and fixes the car with no problems afterwards. Dealerships also tend to try and scam you to run up the charges (because all they care about is your money) but this is absolutely not the case with this auto shop. For any problems, questions, or concerns with your car I really recommend you go talk to Greg.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

I'm a car guy. I consider myself highly knowledgeable about most things automotive. I cannot recommend enough, Greg and his team at Vautrin Auto Services. They are honest, real, trustworthy, efficient, reasonable, and more than a pleasure to work with. They deserve more than five stars. These are very good people, and I highly recommend them.

Stopped by this week to get a catalytic converter, resonator, and o2 sensor installed after thrives jacked mine in the dead of night. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful regarding educating me on what parts I needed, and where to source them to avoid an additional procurement fee. No complaints.

I only take my cars here and as someone who is a car lover, I get many people asking me where to go. Greg and his team are the only ones I recommend. I was living out of state for a few years and even made time to bring my car up to see Greg when I was in town. The last person I sent to Greg mentioned she now has no stomach pains thinking about taking her car in anymore, the car anxiety is gone. Thanks to Greg.

We moved to Westport in 2012, found Vautrin via a recommendation on Dan Woog's 06880 blog soon afterwards, and have been delighted customers ever since. Greg is thorough, clear, and customer focused. Denise is super friendly and efficient. The work is excellent and the pricing is fair. We have never considered taking our cars elsewhere.

I was recently referred by a coworker of mine; she promised this place was great. Unfortunately, that was anything but the experience I had. I was told I needed a bunch of things replaced after my car was taken for a test drive. I originally brought it in because it had been making these "not your normal wear and tear" noises. I was told I needed $800 worth of work and it was advised I don't drive around like that as the issue could become worse. So I spent the $800, got my car fixed (the list of things I was told needed to be done) and took my car home. The first problem was I was not notified that my car was all set after being worked on, I had to call the shop twice to find out it was sitting in the parking lot for an entire weekend. The woman who deals with the phone calls and scheduling was very unpleasant and unprofessional. For a new customer, I was shocked how she handled the call. The second problem came not even a week later. My car was making the same noises that I had originally brought it in for. I called Greg and told him I was having a problem and that I couldn't' understand why, he said to me he didn't have time to look at it as he was very busy but that he was sure it was normal. So I decided to take it in to a completely different repair shop and get a "second opinion". After being charged a $50 diagnostic fee, I was told that I needed the same exact things that I had just spent $800 to have replaced a week prior! I called Greg fuming, explaining what had happened. Again, he had told me he didn't have time to look at it but that I could leave it over a weekend and he would look at then. So once again, I dropped it off only to be told a few things needed to be tightened! The noise went away for about another week only to do the same thing once again. I finally had to pay another shop to replace what I was told was originally replaced. Truly unfortunate that someone would take your money and let you drive around in an unsafe car, after you trusted them to do the right thing. WHAT A SCAM!! I WOULD NEVER REFER ANYONE TO THIS PLACE! HE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!

Greg and crew are the best! They are very honest and would never try to sell or charge you for parts or service that is no absolutely necessary to safely drive your car. My family and I have been going there for years for ALL mechanical work and we have even bought a car from them. Always happy with Vautrin!

I have been a client of Vautrin Auto for almost 25 years. There is not a better mechanic, or businessman for that matter, than Greg Bernfeld. He is the Car Whisperer. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful and takes time to explain everything about your car and how to best, and most efficiently, care for it. I recommend Vautrin without hesitation and have, indeed, sent many many friends (and car nuts) to his service!

Owner Greg Bernfeld does not stand behind his warranty. He removes parts and fails to reinstall. When asked to correct defective work he gives great resistance to correcting defective work. He says; "too busy....try again next week and I'll see if I can repair my defective work."Of course, he was paid in full, so he is in no rush to repair his defective work. Fails to repair work asked of him. He say's; "Yes, I will repair what is on the punch list." and he returns the vehicle with half of the punch list not repaired. Greg Bernfeld, fails to make repairs in a timely fashion in accordance with his committed date of completion. Don't go to Vautrin Auto Services, Inc., Greg Bernfeld disappoint you. He ought to be pumping gas down the street, instead.Service: General repairs & maintenance

It was 2 years before we found Vautrin Auto Service after moving to Westport. We have four cars and were generally unhappy with everyone who had been servicing our cars both in Greenwich and Westport. Then we found Greg at Vautrin Auto. His kind and focused consideration saw all of cars well cared for. Especially for our older model stick shift cars, including our convertible. In an emergency, Greg is fast and responsive. It's an understated facade, no bells or whistles here. But it masks a genuine gem. We are grateful to have someone we trust to turn to.

Best mechanic in the area. Greg is honest and very reasonable too. Always on time. I've had my cars there a dozen times.

I NEVER write reviews, but I feel I should with this company. I had a problem with a loud noise squeaking from my belt every time I started my car. I took it to 3 shops before Vautrin and the noise would stop for a week, but come back. I took it here and they solved the problem and my car has been running great ever since.

Excellent shop. They fixed a misfire that the dealer could not diagnose after several tries. Always thorough, careful diagnosis, with very fair charges for labor.The only drawback is that you need to plan ahead. There's often a couple of weeks' wait for a repair appointment.
