Oceanside Automotive

Oceanside Auto LLC — Old Saybrook, CT — 4÷17÷2016
After the convertible slept thru winter it was time to wake her from her sleep… As expected the batter was drained and an added bonus of the flat right from tire.
I called AAA who dispatched Rick from Oceanside Auto. Rick was prompt, courteous and had everything with him to get me going… Some air, a jumper pack and good to go!
Thanks for the great service.

Brought my car to Oceanside yesterday with multiple issues including the check engine light on. Dan call me within an hour and said there were 10 codes showing. He recommended we take care of the oil leak and change the spark plugs which have never been changed. He said he would reset the codes and we would wait until the check engine light comes back on. I found this be very fair. He could have said we need to fix all this. It would have cost me money that I don’t have. I believe they are honest and hard-​working people and would not hesitate to recommend them. Also they provide a loner car so you don’t need to inconvenience family or friends I would not hesitate to return their again

2^nd experience with Oceanside. Small price issue 1^st time but they honored original quote. Both times repairs done well, on-​time, and cost as quoted. I would recommend this shop anytime. Dave and Dan are the ones to deal with.

Nice friendly staff, easy to work with. Even though the repairs I needed done were only going to take a couple hours, they still had a loaner car for me to use during that time. They are and will be my go to repair shop even though there are places that are closer to me, its worth the extra few miles I have to go to get my repairs done there!

I always go to Oceanside auto when I need anything for my car. I was there yesterday because my car was making a noise. I’m a young woman and had no idea what type of sound it was making or anything like that. The owner Dave said not to worry about it and they would fix it. Dave kept me informed as they figured out the problem and didn’t break the bank to fix my car. Oceanside always fits me in on short notice and I feel safe leaving many car with them knowing it will be fixed. Every staff member was helpful and friendly — I’ve never had a negative experience with Oceanside auto and would recommend their services to anyone.

First time here and very impressed. Professional communication, great work, and finished in a timely manner. I needed car for work and they accommodated me. Price seems to be fair. I will be coming back.

I NEVER give negative reviews, but this is needed. Not only did they not fix my car properly, but there is a HUGE scape that goes from my hood, down the side of my divers side door. AND, they over charged me by a TON!!! That’s what I get for not knowing a lick about cars, being a young female, and not having coffee before I went to pick up my car. The men that actually fixed my car (BOB and his assistant from another AAA service center who actually knew what they were doing!!!) looked at the bill Oceanscam gave me, and were disgusted! It took Bob and his assistant about 2 hours to fix my car (They had to tare it apart and properly put it back together after work from 10:30pm-12:30am!) But, thank god for them. Kicker is, I called Oceanscam regarding my car and I got a voicemail back 2 days later that was blank? Ok, thanks!

Exactly what I was looking for when my Eldorado and I pulled up roots and headed East. This is the classic «Honest Shop» that gets it done right the first time at a very fair price. For a Caddy with 250,000+ miles on her, it doesn’t get any better than this. These folks keep their word and do superior work. I’m a regular, now.

So, I’m on a tight budget, and I work 60 hour weeks at my job. Oceanside fixed my truck in 4 hours at a fair price despite of being really busy, took my payment over the phone and even left my key out for me so I could pick it up late. Mary in the office is a fabulous person who is very professional and gave me couple calls to tell me about the progress on my truck. The mechanics were helpful and courteous, and seemed happy to work there. I will recommend Oceanside to anyone.

My truck broke down a few weeks ago and called Oceanside to help me out. Dave and his crew were not only professional but it was truly refreshing to get such great service these days at an auto repair shop. Also Mary who I think handle the office kept in touch with me during the whole process can’t day enough good about this place.
