Please don t bring your car here. First off the communication is horrible. I brought my car in with 1 issue I got the car back with 4 new issues. They don t test drive the vehicle after they do work. They called to say it was all set and I paid over the phone. No communication that there were additional problems until I look at the receipt. When I called to tell them the car was in even worse shape then when I dropped it off they said they would call me back and never did. I ended up having to tow the carto a different mechanic. I always have so much respect for mechanics and what they do but this experience really scarred me. Please go to willie s or a different mechanic. I just don t want anyone to go through what I went through. As you can see in a different review the company was sold to a different owner in the last year.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Oil change

This is the absolute best place to bring your car for any reason! They are so considerate and helpful any time I need them. I've used them for everything from my routine inspection and oil changes to more serious issues like brake work and emergencies. Wonderful people and top notch service that is beyond compare!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

After moving up to VT I was very concerned about finding a new mechanic. I lucked out with 253-Auto being so close by and owned/operated by the kind of people you want to be friends with. They're honest, the pricing is very fair, they always give me a full write up of the work done (plus a full, clear explanation of any work that's recommended) and my car always come back clean inside (no dirty fingerprints everywhere). Highly recommend!

I always get great customer service at 253 Auto since I started going there. The staff are friendly and - critical during covid -fully vaccinated and wear masks around their customers. They've been wonderful to work with and I recommend them!Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Was on a weekend ski trip and had some issues closing our hood latch on the way out of town. Stopped by 253 Auto and the friendly staff helped us so that we could safely get him! Great service thank you!

I was recently visiting Stowe, Vermont and saw my tire light come on. I stopped by 253 Auto Repair and Patrick and Bronwyn were very kind and helpful to me. It turns out that it was the spare tire (that is connected to the tire light on my Toyota Highlander) light that actually was the problem. Patrick took care of filling that tire and I was on my way! I highly recommend this company and appreciate their assisting me! Best wishes!Service: Tires

I can not recommend 253 Auto enough. I have had my 2004 Accord worked on at a few different shops around Stowe and I feel like I can trust 253 Auto the most.Services: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, Tires, Auto battery replacement, Auto power window repair, Steering & suspension repair, Auto exhaust system repair, Auto glass repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto A/C recharge, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Tire rotations, Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Auto exhaust system replacement, Wheel alignment, Auto sunroof glass replacement, Transmission repair, Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, Auto tire replacement, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Vehicle safety inspection, Wiper blade installation, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement, Battery, Oil changeServices: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, Tires, Auto battery replacement, Auto power window repair, Steering & suspension repair, Auto exhaust system repair, Auto glass repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto A/C recharge, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Tire rotations, Engine repair, Vehicle Inspection, Auto exhaust system replacement, Wheel alignment, Auto sunroof glass replacement, Transmission repair, Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, Auto tire replacement, A/C installation & repair, Air conditioning, Vehicle safety inspection, Wiper blade installation, Auto maintenance, Auto brake replacement, Battery, Oil change

I had high hopes for this family run shop, but unfortunately my confidence in them was misplaced. Here was my issue: the driver's side window became non-operable so I took it to them for diagnosis and repair. They said the harness (usual cost $60) needed to be replaced, however charged me for a motor and harness replacement at $400 plus. Ok - I let that slide. Meanwhile, when I got my car back the door speaker cover had been cracked and the door panel not reinstalled correctly. They denied responsibility for both issues. So much for accountability from 253 Auto. I am disappointed.NOTE: the former mechanic and owner of 253 Auto, Clyde, sold the business to Patrick about a year ago.

It is so rare to find an honest mechanic. I've been going to Clyde since he opened his shop and I've never had anything but excellent service.Unlike other mechanics Clyde will tell you when he feels that the work required to fix your car exceeds the value of the car. Other mechanics are happy to let you keep pouring money into an old car that's just going to keep having issues.

Very disgraceful shady transaction. Set up an appointment to have vehicle fixed and inspected. Mechanic had looked vehicle over and gave am estimate if what repairs were needed & cost of around $300-350 to repair and inspect. Did not get truck in for 2 days after it was dropped off....$735.00 later, still not inspected. Stated the estimate was just for parts...I call BS! Thanks for nothing!Service: General repairs & maintenance

I stopped at this shop while passing through town on the family vacation circuit. I had been having vibration issues at highway speeds for the past few years, that had gotten much worse on this trip. I took the car to local mechanics at home to look at the tires, wheels and front-end and they all said there was no reason for the vibration. Because of the good reviews and me dreading the six hour drive of highway turbulence back home, I sought 253-AUTO's opinion. Unlike home mechanics, they asked a lot of good questions, mostly about the vibration conditions and the repair history of the car. They recommended some front end work and re-balancing of the tires. The re-balance was 50% cheaper than home and immediately fixed 50% of the vibration, which was a godsend. When I got home, I had the rack and struts repaired, as they recommended, and finally got rid of 100% of the vibration. I am really thankful for 253-AUTO's willingness to listen to me and to provide some real troubleshooting. I wish they were closer to home.

Clyde is an honest, hard-working, super skilled mechanic. He has fixed countless issues on our three older cars and each time the repair was complete but not overkill (which dealers like to do to run up the bill).

My wife's bmw x5 was inhabited by a family of rodents. When the Shelburne bmw dealer told us that the soonest appt was in two weeks, we sought and found an EXCELLENT alternative! 253 Auto got us in same day and quickly went to work on the problem, carefully disassembling the various pathways, throughly disinfecting, replacing various filters and providing us with some ideas to prevent future problems. This is a repair shop that can be trusted and clearly knows what they are doing. Fast, professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. It's great to find an auto shop that you can count on when you need an expert.

Clyde and Steve took care of my slit (and rapidly deflating) tire in literally one hour--on a Saturday--no appointment--AND were able to switch over to summer tires. They saved the day, no doubt--thank you!

Don t waste your time going anywhere else! This is hands down the best garage in town. We were visiting from hours away when we suddenly encountered car troubles. 253 Auto came to the rescue when no other garage would.
