Very reliable workmanship very easy to talk to the parts manager just an overall good experience would really recommend them to anybody
Writing reviews isnt normally my thing, but I wanted to make an exception in this case to keep spreading the positive word. Overall a car buying experience can be a real roll of the dice. The experience at Saybrook Auto Barn was fantastic - top to bottom. In doing my research ahead of time they really seem to try their very best to bring a quality automobile to the lot. It doesnt appear that the buyer simply wants to put cars out front - they want quality product. I also found, before buying, that their prices seemed very fair. Once I got to the vehicle I was considering it only got better. Seth made the overall buying experience a breeze. Fair price, no pressure, and got my financing done without a hassle (even with credit that wasnt perfect). Ive NEVER had a smoother car buying experience. Once purchased I found a minor issue (driver side heated seat) with the vehicle. I spoke with Bill in the Service Dept and he had me taken care of without delay. Even my contact with the team that works the front have all been great. They are friendly and personable. I would highly recommend them if you are in the market for a quality vehicle. Great job Seth, Bill and the entire Saybrook Team!
This place is great ! Very fast service, my son and I will be taking our cars there from now on.
Seth is a great business man he helped me get the best loan for the car that I wanted hes there to help YOU I had a great experience with Saybrook auto barn, very satisfied costumer hope to do business again in the future
I came in for service. The staff was extremely friendly & helpful. They opened the door for me upon my arrival. My car was serviced and fixed in the same day. I cannot wait until it is time for me to purchase my next vehicle. This is the only place I will go. These guys are definitely better than the rest.
Having my emissions test done at Saybrook Auto Barn was actually a pleasure. The business itself is super clean and decorated with vintage vehicles that were really fun to look at. The staff were courteous and prompt. The test itself was quick. Great place to go for emissions testing and if Im in the market for a new car I will definitely consider shopping there.
Extremely nice and professional. After buying a truck I noticed a strange noise in the transmission. They immediately got it into the shop and fixed it. Seth even called me a few times to make sure the truck was running good. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
Website says make a offer..Then they proceed to tell you that the retail price is higher than the asking price.Whats the point of making a offer if there is absolutely no negotiations whatsoever if you are paying cash instead of financing. Mindblowing
Got my Emissions Test done here. It took less than 10 minutes and they were very friendly and efficient. Can only speak to the emissions Test, but they were great.
I had a great experience buying a used frontier from these guys. From start to finish Seth was super helpful and made the process painless. No pressure and very friendly. Drove a couple hours away to buy the truck and left feeling very glad I did.
Super nice and helpful! helped me at the same time with the issue on my car. Thank you highly recommend
I came in looking at a car listed on CarGurus, and which ended up being for sale. The moment we parked Seth drove in with a beautiful car which I took for a drive and bought in the next few days. He was extremely helpful and engaging throughout the whole process, and I love the car I bought very much!Overall, the service was awesome and the quality of the car is great, Im extremely grateful and will be enjoying this car for years to come!
What a nice place. A gentleman opened the door for me on a cold rainy day and greeted me with a smile. The waiting area is very clean and comfortable. And you get to look at antique cars too.
Bought a c400 Mercedes from here great experience. Seth is great plus he communicates and keeps you updated. the whole stuff is great !!
This was the best car buying experience I ever had. Staff was pleasant, location was clean and full of fun memorabilia to keep the inquisitive minds occupied. They offered a large selection of pre-owned vehicles in excellent condition. Best of all, the values offered could not be beat. Seth B. handled our transaction from beginning to end. He explained everything in great detail and managed to get us an amazing rate, and warranty coverage. I first applied at a well known dealership and was approved but the interest rate they offered was 4.5 % higher then what I received from Saybrook Auto Barn . There was no pressure, no sales gimmicks, phony pleasantries or attempts to upsell. Just honest, experienced, and genuine service. I also dont like writhing reviews s I am not easily impressed; however, this review was well deserved. If you are in need of a new car, call Seth B. It will be the highlight of 2020 😃
Went to get my required auto emissions test when I moved here from another state. They were pleasant and got me in and out fast. First come first served. Recommended.
I had to take my Jeep in for an oil change today at the Jeep dealer and after I needed to get my emission test done. They recommend Saybrook Auto Barn which is across the street. Great place! Friendly service. Very clean waiting room / showroom with some wonderful classics to look at. They took my car right away and had me out in about 10 minutes. Definitely recommend.
THEY REPAIRED MY CAR RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND AT A FAIR PRICE!!THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS GREAT!!!
My brother and I were really pleased with the staff and service. John and Gary were really helpful and engaging in easing our apprehension about buying a vehicle. We will recommend them to people we know who may be looking for a used car without the hassle of sales people hounding and being intrusive while you are looking or deciding on a vehicle. Great people that are willing to work with you. My brother and I thank them for the experience and he is enjoying his new vehicle he purchased within hours of visiting their establishment for the first time.
The staff are all very welcoming and very friendly! Great atmosphere to be in while waiting for your emissions to get done or if youre in the market to buy a car!
Coming from a previous career as a used car dealer Im always very sceptical of the used car dealerships.Had a very straightforward experience with this dealership, the truck I bought was exactly as described. Im a couple weeks into owning it now with no issues, financing was a breeze and overall they were very professional.Very clean waiting area.Truck was safety checked and ready, I got financed and took delivery same day.I will definitely be returning when I need another car and would highly recommend them to anyone I know.
This is the best place in town, Old Saybrook, CT, to have auto emissions done. Way, fast, and no appointment required.
I just purchased a car a month ago and it was by far the nicest experience I ever had buying a car. From sales to service and the front office I couldnt be happier.I would highly recommend you checking them out. Im sure you will enjoy working with everyone at Saybrook Auto Barn.8 months have passed. What a mistake I made..
Sold us a really nice looking car, but thats their thing. They look for cars that look nice while under the hood is a plethora of issues. They make their money from all the repairs you will need to do. Not to mention the insurance they offer never covers what its supposed to. Do not buy a car here; stick with private sellers and dealerships. At least they are upfront about screwing you over.
$15,000 car that needs $9,000 worth of work. They keep saying everything is fine but my private mechanic AND the several dealerships Ive gone to say otherwise. Wish Connecticut had a lemon law. Do not buy anything here unless you like fixing things and needlessly spending money.
Great folks to do business with... Excellent communication and follow ups...Thanx Seth and Gary 👍👍
I bought a car here and so far everything is good. The salespeople were nice. The car are very fairly priced and the one I ended up buying was in great condition. They let me take it to my mechanic to get checked out and there were no issues. Im happy with the choice I made and so far the car is still running great.I got a sense that the owner really likes and cares about cars, which I think makes this place a bit unique in a sea of dealers.My one small complaint was that they were a little pushy with trying to sell a warranty, but saying no a bunch of times was a small price to pay for getting a good deal. Just come prepared to hear the spiel and youll be fine.
Was looking for the right car that would last me awhile. John H was amazing helping me get financed and making things easy as possible. Everyone there was also amazingly nice and made me and my girlfriend welcome the whole time.
We just bought my sons Subaru from them in April.They were professional and extremely kind.Weve used them for emissions testing, my son had his oil changed there. Great staff, friendly, efficientAnd they get the job done. It has always been a very positive experience. I would definitely recommend.
Walked around the lot for about 20 minutes, not a single employee came out to help. Cars on the lot are priced high and almost every car was damaged in some way. Some cars had large dents, huge scrapes, large sections of rust and/or missing wiper blades. The poor presentation of the cars not even being clean inside or out was a huge turn off.
We had a wonderful experience buying a car with Saybrook Auto Barn. After feeling pressured and uneasy elsewhere, the Auto Barn was a breath of fresh air. Walking into the building and being welcomed by a Model T, a horse carriage, and a spinning wheel, sets the tone for a warm place where the staff care about more than profit; rather, your car is part of a long history of fascinating mechanical devices and thats something to honor. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. We had a lovely chat with Sam while test driving the car. Gary, the owner, gave every customer individual time on a busy Saturday and made us feel genuinely comfortable about his care in selecting vehicles to sell and the work subsequently put into them. John walked us through our financing and all of the paperwork with clarity and patience. We just had a maintenance check done on the car by our regular mechanic who found the car to be in overall excellent shape, with only a few things that will have to be done relatively soon. Thanks for making a stressful purchase surprisingly pleasant!
Everyone there is so friendly. The sales people arent pushy at all. I highly recommend this place. Very very nice!!
The people at the old Saybrook auto barn do honest, quality work at more than fair prices. On top of that, their staff is attentive, helpful, and generous, which makes the experience of taking my car there far better than any brand name dealer, and most other small repair shops, in my experience. IL be taking my car here for the foreseeable future
I highly recommend shopping for your next used car from Saybrook Auto Barn. Their vehicles are hand picked as top quality, reliable, clean, fair priced with Car Fax history to back them up. John, who sold me my car, is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the vehicles and financing. He is a no pressure, easy going guy that follows up on all details and offered to come in on his day off to help us. He was a real pleasure to work with. Everyone working here is terrific and will go the extra mile to make your buying experience pleasant. The showroom is loaded with vintage and antique pieces. The owner has a good eye for GREAT cars and collectables. Thank you for treating us as family and for the beautiful car!!!
In and out, quick service absolutely no hassle. 10/10 would reccomended.
Recently took our car here for an emissions test. The staff were very friendly and the test was finished within ten minutes. Theres even a monitor where you can watch them servicing your vehicle from a very comfortable couch inside while you wait. We also received a few coupons for some free services after the test. Great service overall, would highly recommend!
True professionals and a class act business, they know the importance of pleasing customers and acquiring them long term, thank you Saybrook Auto Barn!
Excellent place to buy a car. Personalable, honest, real down to earth. Everyone there has a great sense of humor and treat you like family. Not the experience you will get at the big name dealerships. John is the absolute best. Truly dependable, hand working, and goes above and beyond. My husband and I thouroughly enjoyed doing business here. We will be back for our next car!!! Thank you to John and Gary! I love the car !
Great place to get emissions done easy in easy out. With a nice warm showroom full of collector cars, motorcycles & antique tractor.
Very clean place thats also a quick place to get car emissions done.
Sold us a nice looking car a year ago that weve had problems with since driving it off the lot. Everytime we take it in for repairs they say nothing is wrong with it. Well, the bad wheel bearings that almost caused me to crash would say otherwise. Dont buy from here. Sure everyone is nice but its a farse.
My partner bought a car from Saybrook Auto Barn and both of us couldnt be any happier.The sales people were so nice and they went the distance finding the right financing for my partner.We feel we got a good deal and would most definitely recommend a friend to check their lot out.
They treated us right. My daughter loves her new car.
I went with my mom so she could buy a car and she seems very pleased
Very good place, John our salesman got us a very good deal on our Pathfinder. Service dept is honest and quick.
My new place to go . Great experience
Every one there is so nice
It was good. No pressure. George, nice guy.
I highly recommend saybrook auto barn. My husband and I purchased a vehicle from George, it was a one of the best car shoppibg expirences we have had, he found exactly what we were looking for. If your looking for a used reliable vehicle you must stop by. Thank you George we love ❤ the car. Ask for George Lewis
Overall my experience with saybrook auto barn was fair, very laid back no pressure atmosphere (which was great) however though after I asked all my questions they said no problem everythings gonna be addressed, WHICH NOTHING WAS! However THE REASON FOR MY HONEST REVIEW AND NO SALE WAS. 1ST OFF I HAD DRIVEN DOWN FROM EVERETT,MA WHICH IS ABOUT 130MILES AWAY, not once but TWICE!... OK SO AFTER THE FACT OF REPEATEDLY GETTING CONFIRMATION THAT and asking questions like has this been fixed or has this been taken care of via text (which was only like 3-4 things) I was told yes its all set. Come back down and after I TRIPLE CHECKED ASKING QUESTIONS 3-4 TIMES (again via text). I made a 3rd and final trip down which to be honest I was so excited to get the car. I get down there and NOTHING WAS DONE OR ADDRESSED TO THE CAR. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UPSET. They did not keep there word after I repeatedly asked has everything been completed was this or that addressed? Yes I was told, I get down there and I thoroughly go thru the whole car underneath, motor, rear end, etc I find nothing to be done... I really wish they had been honest with me thru the whole process, Now the million dollar question, WILL I GO BACK TO DO BUSINESS WITH SAYBROOK AUTO BARN? Not sure at this point I think as a last resort. Do your research 1st and shop around fellow car buyers.
Only went for emission testing. Nice people, comfy waiting area, super fast!
Great 😊
Scammers!!!
They are great!!!!
