Village Automotive Center

Richard, Mark and the team at Village Automotive Center were our champions. While we were traveling, we blew a transmission line and were stranded. They have been wonderful to work with. Very knowledgeable and the entire staff is friendly. The repairs were made in very appropriate time, even for a Friday. I thank them and would recommend them in any situation.

They are wonderful! Quick, reasonably priced, and answered my questions. Rich did my taillights for me on my way to work! I will definitely go back for any other vehicular needs I have. In addition, the place was very clean, even the bathroom.

My wife and I have been bringing our cars to 3 Village for 25 years. Rich, Ken and, now, Mark provide excellent service, can't say enough good stuff about them. Years ago, my wife's car was just out of warranty and blew a head gasket. Rich diagnosed the problem but rather than just giving us an estimate for doing the work (which was very substantial) he suggested we contact the manufacturer rep to have them fix it since it was just beyond the warranty and shouldn't have happened. The manufacturer did the repair at no cost to us. Rich lost a big job but gained life long customers. Talk about honesty. Highly recommend 3 Village Automotive Center. They do great work at reasonable prices and even graciously put up with DIYers like me.

I have researched all the mechanics shops in Suffolk County for foreign car repair.I have tried a few of them but being a business owner myself totally not impressed at all... That is until I brought my car to this awesome place.. I was greeted by Mark who was knowledgeable and so helpful.Ken the mgr immediately sent me a text with all the points on my car . They called me and went over all the issues Then when they told me it was ready I had the pleasure to meet Rich the owner .What a refreshing feeling having my car serviced here as these guys are absolutely the very best
If you want your car to have the very best care and price call them immediately for the best experience you have ever had

I am amazed at the way I was treated here! Being from NC my 08 Tahoe broke down and Richard DiMartino (owner) took me right in on a Friday to help. Extremely Grateful for his techs and he for being so accommodating, fair and reasonable. This is the place to go folks for incredible service from an amazing group of people!’

I was told by my local mechanic that my 2008 Toyota was beyond their ability to fix it. The dreaded red triangle warning light was showing. I almost wrote it off and figured it was time to get a new car. The price of used cars has risen to over 40%. I decided to search for Toyota hybrid repair and Village Automotive Center came up. I figured why not give them a try. My car is now fixed and running beautifully. Rich, Ken and Mark are the best of the best and are solid people as well. I would not and will not hesitate to call them again. Thanks guys !!!!

Very nice professional group. Very honest , would highly recommend. Really helped me when I needed it. Got me back home safe and sound.

Just got my daughter's MK6 VW GTI back from a timing job that I had attempted but wound up being more then the timing chain... Rich and his skilled team of mechanics didn't hesitate to take on the job when others wouldn't touch it, in fact- others wouldn't even touch it before I had attempted the job myself. End result is the car is back better than ever and I couldn't be more satisfied with it and the experience I had working with Rich. I'd definitely recommend their services to anyone in need- highly knowledgeable and professional every step of the way. Thanks again to Rich and the entire staff at Village Auto!!

Rich and his team are highly professional! I Had him do a safety check over my entire vehicle before a road trip. He gave me a thorough list of my vehicles issues and never pressured me into doing any work. We worked through what was important to keep the car going and what could wait for a later date.
He has a very clean shop filled with friendly faces that remembered me by name after only meeting once, and most importantly gave a speedy repair that was affordable to keep a young college student on the road! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a honest mechanic in the area! This is the Place!

Wonderful, and friendly, HONEST service. They have seen my older car(s) challenges through with patience and perseverance in getting things right -- the best for their customers. Highly recommended.

This was the first time I serviced my 06 Miata (oil change and fog light replacement) on LI and I'll definitely be coming back! Very professional and honest shop, with very fair rates and great communication. Ken explained and pointed out everything to me and I felt respected and more informed about my car's level of functioning leaving the shop. Definitely recommend for general maintenance and repairs if you're unsure of where to go :)

I had a tire blowout on a local rd at 5:30 all other local repair shops were closed or did not want to help. Rich help repair tire at a great price and I was able to get to my tire shop to get a new tire . Can’t thank Rich enough!!!

These men were so amazing! I came with my bumper hanging off my car and the bottom of my car was dragging as I was in a rush to the airport. They fixed me up in as little as 30 minutes and I was well on my way for such an affordable price. Trustworthy, helpful, and considerate of students. Will definitely be coming here again.

I have been going to Village automotive since 1998 and my then husband since 1990 at least.
Without reservation I know them to be honest, professional and thorough. I have never been worried that I might be recommended to have work done unnecessarily. I know they stand behind their work and have come through every time. They tell me what needs to be done in the near future or down the line. They never push me for any work to be done.
I will be frank, as far as their prices honestly I have no idea how they rank. But personally for me to trust my shop to do good work is paramount. I also have no doubt that they would not be more than marginally higher than others or they wouldn’t be in business for so many decades. I’ve referred them to many people and no one has been less than grateful. I would never take my car anywhere else! Thanks guys for jobs well done and the lift home!

Village Automotive Center is absolutely excellent. I’m new to the area and have a very old but tough car that started having brake issues after my move. I spoke with Ken on the phone and he kindly fit me in at the end of the day on a Friday. As it turned out, my brakes and rotors were fine and didn’t need repairs or replacement - the constant downpours in the past several days had just made them a bit funky. But they were so kind and helpful and in the end, they didn’t charge me a cent for the diagnostic; they even checked out the car under the hood, looked at oil levels, AND put air in my tires. If you’re looking for a place that goes above and beyond and makes sure you have peace of mind - Village Automotive Center is the place.

Nice staff, was able to give me a ride to and from the shop while it was being inspected. My only negative comment was my car smells like cigarettes after your inspection. Didn’t like the odor from the chain smoker. I’m sure they are great mechanic but leaving a car smell like an ash tray isn’t right.

Recently got an old but beautiful foreign convertible and sought an alternative to costly dealer repairs; the top just wouldn't go down! After a lot of research I found Village Auto and its impressive array of positive reviews. They were not wrong. Every step of the way I had professional, courteous conversations. As a marketing/business development pro, I'm very picky about these things. And, of course, the best part was the perfect outcome at reasonable cost: the top goes down! Village Automotive Center can now count me as a client ~

I worked with Ken here and they were AWESOME! They showed themselves to be super honest and trustworthy. They worked on a 10 year old Honda Civic that I have, and in the scenario, many mechanics would have jumped on the opportunity to screw me over for some more money. They were fair, reasonable, and even prioritized my job given the specific situation. Village and Ken are the best!

If you're looking for Honesty, Professionalism, Integrity, Knowledgeable or just plain nice, looks no further than Village Automotive Center. The boys there maintain my 2 antique Cadillacs as well as my daily drivers. I truly do rest easy knowing they will take care of all my cars and stand behind their work. Places like this are very hard to find now days. I am lucky to know them. They offer shuttle service to and fro when you leave your vehicle for repair or regular maintenance. Careful though, the boys at the counter are so amiable, you'll want to hang out for a while.

Thoroughly explained issues with the car to my wife before working on it. Seems trustworthy. Prices overall lower than others. This place will be our new go-to

Update 3/9/18:
Can't say enough good things about these guys. Always polite and welcoming. They've had plenty of opportunities to take advantage of my wallet and haven't. Highly recommend this place
