I've been going to Car ER for nigh on 8 years and three oldish high mileage cars. They do good work, highly recommended.

The owner has, so far, forgiven me for aspiring to an electric vehicle with fewer moving parts (and fewer things to go wrong).

The number 1 thing is Joe is a good mechanic. And he will always work with you.fast and reliable and very convenient. And a all around stand up guy. Plus his business is very professional. I would not bring my car any where else !...

Joe and crew have taken care of my car needs for years and have always provided excellent, fast and reliable service, at good prices. They'll give you honest assessments and opinions about what work needs to be done. Highly recommended!

We bought a 1997 Cadillac last summer. I knew it was going to need work. After sitting for the past 7 months the battery was completely dead.
So I had to get the vehicle towed to Car ER. I chose Car ER because people on the New Haven sub-Reddit mentioned how honest and fair they were. They couldn’t have been more right.
I spoke with the owner Joe on the phone and explained to him that I wanted the car completely looked over and if it would be worth it to get it road ready.
Joe called me the next day and gave me some numbers and explained what would need to be done just simply wasn’t worth it. He was completely honest and accommodating. He offered to give me a couple days to get the car towed to it’s final destination free of charge. He also refused to charge me for the evaluation, and just asked that I bring future business his way in exchange for the free diagnostic.
This is an honest family run business. The kind of shop you would hope to find. I highly recommended the guys over at Car ER.

Joe and his shop are the best! Truly care about their customers, honest, sincere. Been bringing my car here for years. Recommend to everyone I know and they’re never disappointed. Thanks Joe for your hard work and commitment to our community.

I don't want to many people to know but you will not find a fairer priced mechanic than Joe for your car and or truck. Sceptical about leaving to good of a review because I don't want him to get to busy. Yeah, he's that fair.

I was a loyal customer elsewhere for the past few years. My friends and colleagues recommended Joe and Car ER after I had issues with my car. Felt like a lifetime customer my first visit and the work that Joe did on my car will keep me using him and his shop for all my vehicles in the future.

These are the most honest mechanics you'll cross paths with. I will not take my Jeep anywhere else. I have had relays replaced and my exhaust completely fixed thanks to the guys at the Car ER. They give you an honest price of what it could be, & what should be done to fix it. But you'll actually get a call & they'll tell you what they found, what it's going to be price wise, and then they ask for your okay to do the work! No Surprises of fees! I get a call when it's all set, and in no time I'm driving out of the parking lot. As a female it's so important to feel like my mechanic is doing me justice, not just filling his pockets, and these guys take the cake for sure!!

Joe runs a top notch business. His prices are fair and he keeps his appointment commitments. He tells you everything going on and any work he has done for me has been on time. Finding a garage like this rare. Don't hesitate to go to him.

John and his crew are the best in town. We were having car problems while on vacation from Virginia. We had tried a couple of other garages in New Haven, but they wanted to charge thousands of dollars. We finally found our way to Car E.R. and were treated like family by the staff. He fixed the car for just over $100 and got us on our way for the rest of our vacation. Several thousand miles later, the car is running fine. It can be hard to find an honest mechanic, especially in urban areas, but I am 100% confident that John will treat you kindly and fairly. You will enjoy your experience there.

Car ER is the best place to go for quality automotive repair work and very competitive prices! Owner, Joe Pastore will give you an honest diagnosis of the problem and layout all options to correct it at the best price!
You won't get this kind of honesty and personalized service from the dealer repair shops!
Been going there for years!

Never met a more honest mechanic who values the trust of his clients. Service has always been exceptional. Love this place.

This is the only shop I have built a relationship with and trust to do work on mine and my girlfriends car, Joe usually helps us out the best he can. I've brought him some annoying (rusty thanks to new england) jobs and he takes care of the issues. I've found his prices to be better and since he is a friend of my girlfriends family I trust him. (Also hard to find) there is plenty of garages in the area but I continue to go to car er.

GREAT EXPERIENCE. First time customer good, calm, professional experience. GREAT PRICES very informative. New home for my 2000 Mustang for repairs, looking forward to years of business. Gave me a discount once I arrived to pick up vehicle. MR. JOE AND FAMILY MADE ME LAUGH JOY IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL SO IMPORTANT IN THE MIDST OF COVID -19. THIS IS A BUISNESS THAT ULTIMATLEY CARES AND HAVE A GREAT ATITUDE IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC.

Thank you & Bless you

Very nice owner. Know what he's doing. Good place to get your car fix. He will not take you, very up front and honest. Thank you.

Fair, genuine, reasonable, excellent, reliable, pleasant, economical, Professional, personal, experienced, timely, friendly, useful, and THE BEST.

I've got a Toyota Tacoma and a Subaru Forester and this will be my mechanic from this day on.

By far my favorite place to take my car after living in 3 different cities. Very friendly staff, honest, thorough, and quick work with very reasonable pricing.

Only place I trust with my car. Accommodating, reasonably priced, timely and clear communication!
