Greg and everyone else at Ernies garage are all terrific! I have been going to them for years ever since I moved into the area and they always do a great job at an affordable price. They always do a thorough check when you go for an oil change, and give their recommendations on what needs to be done immediately, and what can wait. They never pressure you or try to sell you things that you dont need. Would highly recommend them for any car issues you may be having!

I brought my car in to have them perform an idle relearn to the cars computer. They were pretty busy so they asked me to leave my car over night, and they would get to work on my car first thing in the morning. I go into work at 5AM-130PM by the time I got out of work my car was ready for me. Before they worked on my car the RPMs were all over the place and the car didn’t drive good. When they were done working on my car it was back to normal and it drove great. I’m the type of person who doesn’t like going to auto repair shops, I like to fix my car myself if I can. I’ve always worried about auto repair places making more problems to your car so you come back and see them but with Earnies Garage they took all my worries away and now they are one of the only places I trust to do work to my car. They are a great group of guys and they will do their best to fix your ride.

I’d recommend their service to anyone! Anthony, a wonderful mechanic was very informative and kept me updated with what was wrong with my car and what was being done! I was very hesitant at first since mechanics have such a bad reputation. However, I honestly felt my car was in good hands! I actually plan on going again since my car needs a little more work done.

I had my oil change, engine flush, tires rotated and a few other items done to my car Acura MDX. The only reason I allowed them to do this work and not Acurahe is very professional, and knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

Ernies is no doubt the best, prices right and the job done. nothing more or less... JUST WHAT THE CAR NEEDS

I took my car in due to it making noise when steering. It turns out the steering fluid pump had a leak. These guys were able to order the parts and replace it within the same day. They appeared honest in explaining the issue and showing me where the problem was. They were also willing to work with me to make it more affordable. If you like a genuine mechanic and a good service, this is your place to go.

The only reason why I’m giving this company two stars is because I really appreciate the service that I got from Lucas. I went to the shop at 8am with an appointment on Saturday 7/27/2019 to have a break inspection.. Lucas was really nice and friendly, and he showed me everything that he found wrong with my car, cool! But the guy who actually did the work on my car was totally unprofessional, I forget his name. I let the people at the counter know that I was going to get my nails done, call me if anything.. Of course they had the wrong number because no one confirmed my contact information with me.. so I get back to the shop 2 hours later and nothing has been done to my car. So I had to wait another 2 hours for them to order the parts and do the service.. Once I get back to pay and get my car, of course the guy who did the work didn’t have my write up done and he wasn’t even there... so I had to wait for another 45 minutes!!! Instead of the mechanic apologizing for the 6 hour inconvenience, the man gives me my paper & sends me on my way, he didn’t even have the respect to look me in my eyes!! So the stars are for Lucas, thank YOU for the great service... the other mechanic needs to learn professionalism.

I started coming here to get headlights installed, and I was impressed by the customer service. I came to realize that Anthony is a skilled mechanic I can trust with my older Mercedes. Lucas found a leak in the valve that was causing my tire to slowly lose air that no one could find before. Jonathan is the detailer who is always friendly and does an excellent job, as well. I am always given fair prices. They also give you a ride if needed. You don’t need an appointment for oil changes, which include a car wash.

I have worked with Ernie’s garage in the past and have never been disappointed and this time was no different!! I had a custom performance brake pkg. (front and back wheels) installed on my car.... the mechanic (Anthony) did the all the work some of which was custom.... all I can say is AWESOME JOB!!

I am a very picky person when it comes to cars (I own a Porsche) and quality of service. That said, Ernies Garage is the pinnacle of automobile garage and Im really not exaggerating. Allow me to prove it to you:Let me start by talking about the cleanliness of the shop and mechanics. The place is very Very clean and organized (and Im personally OCD with this). Even when they have a lot going on the are able to keep everything neat and to me that already says a lot. The mechanics are a professional duo (I think Ill call them the Doctors) because they are amazingly good when it comes to diagnosing your vehicle problem even when its a hidden problem, and regardless of your vehicle make (combined they know everything). You really wont go wrong with any of them because at the end they collaborate really well in whatever case you bring, and the best part of it is that THEY ARE VERY HONEST.Honesty is everything when it comes to your car repair and believe me, transparency is included in the price. Prices are fair, maybe a little on the higher side but again... I can asure that you can trust their diagnosis and labor. Quick story: On my first Porsche repair I took it to 1) Porsche Dealer but prices where impossibly high and diagnosis/repair quote had too many parts and didnt make sense to me so I left. 2) Then I tried a Porsche Certified Garage and prices where lower but still I felt something was off on the diagnosis list. I regret not taking my car to Ernies in the first place, they knew what was the problem by my description even before seeing the car and their quote/list was just what my vehicle needed (nothing less, nothing more). Their price was way better and the job very reliable.I have brought in my two cars several (3-7) times (I also have a Toyota) for different tuneup/maintenance and motor (and electric) fixes. On both my cars Ive been trusting my cars and left extremely satisfied. They fixed my cars before driving to Iowa and back, twice. Also, they can diagnose your car immediately, find the right parts for you and fix it within a reasonable time (very quick). On top of that all of the employees are very kind, respectful and full of joy. They are eager to help you no matter whats your situation. I even had the opportunity to meet the owner which was also very understanding and helpful. The manager has a great system in place, hes always present, very friendly and will also take good care of you.On a side note, this garage has a Car Wash/Detailing tunnel attached to it (SpongeBrothers) which I also strongly recommend. I drive my cars through every week and they really treat you like a VIP. They have one of the best Car Detailer Celebrity I know of in CT, who uses the finest products on your car. Feel free to trust you cars paint to them.Over the past 2 years theyve seem to keep finding ways to improve their service. They have uHauls for rent and before COVID-19 they even had complimentary coffee that I actually miss. Their bathroom is simple, spacious and very clean in my experience. The lounge/waiting room could use an update but in general its always clean and feels ok (there is a massage chair if youre into that). I took my time to test their consistency on their excellent service and as a frequent costumer I can give faith of it. My only complain would be the use of a face mask, due to the current pandemic they started using it but Ive noticed a lack of consistency with this manner. Still, they use gloves and seem to respect social distancing protocols.Lastly, If I where to have a business like this it would definitely be like Ernies Garage specially for their great service and friendly employees. If you are skeptical of my super positive review, dont take my word and please go prove it for yourself.

My dad goes to Ernies garage often ...... he has a performance car that he will only have a mechanic (his name is Anthony) work on the car there.... My dad is very meticulous and everything including his car only gets the best!!! So when my dad said go to Ernies Garage to get an oil change ....... I knew I was good hands! Customer service is great! Anthony the mechanic personally did the work on my car and took the time to look the car over for any possible issues ...... Hands down, you want your car professional serviced ...... Ernies Garage is the place to go!

First time there yesterday to get an estimate on replacing a broken door handle. Was given a fair estimate and came back today to get the work done. Was in and out in no time. Don’t forget your AAA card so you can get a 10% discount on labor!Anthony was knowledgeable and friendly. Will be back again in the future!

Ernies is both affordable and honest. I had been going to my local dealership for repairs and it seemed every time I left with more problems and a lighter wallet. I found Ernies through a CarMax recommendation after the Ford dealer quoted me an obscene price and said they would need my car for 3 days. Ernies took my car in at the exact time I wanted and completed the work for half the price that Ford quoted, in addition to a free car wash. I will definitely return here if I need more work done.

I absolutely love Ernie and his team! Ernie is so friendly and knowledgeable! He is able answer any questions I have. Kris always has a smile on her face! The oil changes are fast and efficient! I appreciate their service!

Visiting CT last week and developed a car problem. My sister said she had great experience at Ernies Garage the week before. My wife dropped me at my clients and took the car. Anthony was GREAT. Patient, explained the problem clearly, FIXED the problem fully, and told her of something to watch out for in the next 12 months. He could have told her she needed another $300 of work but didnt. Thats trust: Ability, integrity and a willingness to be caring of others. I told my sister to tell her friends. UPDATE: When I got back home I brought my car to my mechanic for annual registration inspection and he noticed Anthonys work: Top notch. Thanks ANTHONY!!!!!!

It was a pleasure returning back to Sponge Brothers. The staff is friendly & right on top of everything. I will be bringing my car there for oil changes & car washes...etc. Stop by & see what they have to offer.Thank you for your friendly service.

Excellent place to do business with.Staff is real friendlyAnd when you ask for an estimate before work is to be done, Anthony was right on in with the info to help u make the decision to proceed.I’ll be going back if anything else happened to my car or truck..

This is a great place to get your vehicle serviced. Whether its at the Lube with Lucas or a repair with Anthony. Your always in great hands. Honesty and integrity is what youll receive here at Ernies Garage. Thank you to all of our loyal customers.

Good mechanics are hard to find which is why I take my BMW and my wifes Mercedes to Ernies garage. They are professional, confident, and courteous. Being located on the Post Road in Orange and being opened weekdays and Saturday and Sunday makes it very convenient to take my cars there.I highly recommend Ernies garage!

This is the only garage that we ever use.They always take such good care of me . I went in to have my oil changed and they found out that my brakes were dangerously bad and repaired them for me for a very reasonable price. Even though I moved away, I still take my car to them. They are great guys.

For many years I had been through different mechanics and then someone told me about Ernie. I will never go to another mechanic as long as Ernie is in business. Ive had everything done from him in the last year from brakes, rotors, radiator and front and rear shocks. The prices are wonderful and the service is amazing.

Anthony has been my mechanic for at least 5 or more years and has ALWAYS been hard working, friendly, fast and reasonable! Ask for him when you stop in and tell them that Sonya sent you. 😁

Ernie is always helpful no matter what! My daughter often has car trouble and he helps her every time! He always fits us in!! He is reasonable dependable and we love him!!

Anthony always finds the issue and fixes it quickly and at a fair price while being courteous and professional! He cant be beat!

I recently got my lift kit done on my Jeep Wrangler here, and they did a great job. The manager Adam was very helpful responsive to me when I had question. They got me in a timely manner. The lead Macanic Anthony did a great job on the installation. He keeped me updated on the job and went above and made sure all my tires was balanced and the alignment was done. The receptionist was amazing as well, she gave me updates on my jeeps recalls. Overall a great professional and knowledgeable shop. I will definitely be back for future service as well as recommend ernies garage to my friends and family.

I always choose Ernie when it comes to getting my car repaired... He’s so knowledgeable and very straight forward. I’ve always been intimidated by mechanics, fearing they will take advantage of the fact I’m a woman and know absolutely nothing about cars, but Ernie has earned my trust

You guys are amazing!! Anthony Kallert you are one incredible mechanic! You fixed a problem that I was dealing with and trying to fix for months! Not only did you fix it but you did it 100% and in less than a few hours! I drove from Watertown but Ill make that drive no problem because you guys will forever have my business from now on! Thank you thank you!!

Adam and Anthony went above and beyond to remedy a situation for me. In short, I brought my 2019 Silverado to them for an install of a 2 leveling kit. The install went great but a couple months later I had my truck at the Chevy dealership for service and they noticed the bolt from the leveling kit had ripped open the boot on the axel shaft, and they told me a I needed a whole new axel shaft and that I should bring it back to the garage to have them fix it. Without trying to blame anyone I came back to Ernies, and after a bit of back and forth with RoughCountry (leveling kit brand), they were saying it couldnt have caused it. So here I was stuck between the dealer saying on thing and RoughCountry saying another, thinking I was going to have to pay out of my own pocket to fix this. But Ernies dug deeper into the issue and took responsibility for the malfunction of the leveling kit, even though it was no fault of their own, replaced my axel shaft and my truck is good as new now. This was a big relief and I truly appreciate theyre professionalism on the matter. This is a great small local business that has now earned a new customer. I will be back to Ernies for automotive needs I have in the future for any of my cars.

Very fair and honest Everyone always has a smile specially Anthony They really care about your safety.

Ernie is great. Speedy appt and very speedy repair. I was impressed with how candid he was about what was absolutely necessary and what could wait. He has earned my trust.

Ernie is the most honest reasonable mechanic in New Haven county! He has helped me at some of the hardest times dealing with my car! I go to Ernie for everything and I send all my friends to him! Thanks Ernie for always being great!

Since my referral to Ernies garage the service had been impeccable and always in a timely fashion. He gives 110% quality work!

Ernie Is The Best Mechanic I Have Ever Met. A Real Honest Guy Who Will Not Try To Overcharge You Or Plat Games Like Most Other Mechanics Do. I Strongly Recommend That You Tell All Your Friends And Family To Head Over Here When It Comes To Your Car Troubles

Ernie is a great, honest man. He doesn’t even work there anymore. To the owner of Sponge Brothers, your pretty pathetic to keep using his name and insisting to customers that he is still there. Go see him in Orange, at Bens Service Center!

Ernie and his garage is the best personal service anywhere. He is an expert on any make of car. I will not let anyone else touch my nissan nor jaguar. His pricing is fair and affordable. You get a free car wash to boot. Being a woman and causcious about ripoffs, i have finally found a caring, honest, and skilled mechanic at Ernies garage.

Best place to take your car for maintance and repair. They take the extra mile to help. Oh and great place place for a car wash too!

The Mechanic Anthony was really helpful and really respectful when it came to my vehicle. I would recommend this shop to anyone whos looking for a good reliable mechanic and professional even to the point they even vacuumed and washed my car which I really Appreciated !!! Ernies shop I recommend.

Ernie is the best mechanic. Really trustworthy, humble and patient with his customers. He always is very open to his customers request and opinions. :D #TeamErnie

Honest appraisal of the services needed for my vehicle was provided. There was no “ value added “ sales pitch being pushed on me as is done at the dealership. It was a pretty good experience.

Well: for being friendly and being respectful I would give 5 stars but for the job they did regarding my rav4 detailing even 3 star is more. I had my rav4 detailing today May 19 Friday, I believe I said not to wash and shampoo the seats but still paid 95$, the lady said they will Vacuum the seats but believe me they did not touch the seats and the cup holders and the (arm holder cabin) between the driver and the passenger seat. I took picture but I wish there was an option I could attach the pic. I am absolutely not happy with the detailing service, I wanted to bring my wife’s car too but maybe notBut I would give 5 Stars for the person doing oil change I forgot his name, he knows what he is doing.

Went there to get my car fixed! Spent a lot of money and I’m still having the same problem! Lesson learned!! Never going back! Might as well go to the dealer! All they wanted was my money!! They won’t see another penny from me!

Ernie has been the best mechanic ever! past 8 years hes been helping me and my man. and now my daughters car😄. everyones so helpful!!

The lady behind the counter was extremely rude brought my 2013 fusion there under my extended warranty they called me to tell me that the wheel bearings were bad as well as a code that only ford could diagnose i asked the guy the day before dropping it off IS THERE ANY CHARGE TO ME he said no your warranty will cover it well long story short i went to pick it up because they could not fix my power steering assist failure and i was gonna bring it to ford like there mechanic recommended he said there was no point to fix the wheel bearings when i had to bring it to ford anyway so i ask for my keys and the lady said 95 dollars which caught me way off guard i told her i didnt bring any money and asked well what do i do she said have someone bring u the money or u can come back when u got it exact words my warranty comoany paid the diagnostic fee but now when i take it to ford i have to pay there diag fee on top of my deductable when if it was explained correctly i would only have to pay my deductable on top of all that the damn shop is attached to a car wash a little sketchy in my opinion

I have always have Ernie fixed my car and. I have not been disappointed...he takes good care of my car.And the prices are so affordable wont break the bank . Thank you so much....Best mechanic....affordable prices

I was directed to Ernies after CarMax couldn’t get me in until next week- As I was having transmission issues on a 2016 car I assumed this work would be warranty work so made sure I was going to one of the shops that would take the CarMax warranty. This was my first time coming here.While they couldn’t solve my automotive issue (had to go to a dealer for a reprogram of my transmission) they were amazingly great to deal with, explained everything I would need to expect through my warranty company ( a third party warranty purchased through CarMax) and promptly diagnosed the problem - when determined they couldn’t help they took the time to put together documentation for me to bring to the dealership which made that process much easier and faster.I already repaid the favor by bringing my wife’s car in for a platinum plus wash(other side of their business is a car wash) . And the wash was good too.

Ernie’s garage is awesome, reliable and reasonable. Ernie is a honest and friendly person, I wouldn’t take my cars anywhere else.

Very rude people, poor customer service， nobody is wearing mask in this place.

They very thorough and on point with the job that they do I would recommend them to anyone that needs their car repaired and also get a car wash so I say to everyone bring your car there Tony G from Hamden

Everytime I need my car fixed or tuned up I go see Ernie ! This has to be the best mechanic in CT . I got my front rotors done a month ago and I was there for an hour and was excited to see I got a complimentary car wash with my services ! Quick service, great environment, WONDERFUL workers and amazing prices ! The garage and the car wash are my trucks second home

Not the place to take your car! blew the motor of a white corvette they had siting there for months and then blamed the customer for the motor being blown. they never want to take responsibility for their mistakes!

Great service at a good price, will use again if needed

Im going to need brakes. My check engine light came back on. I think I might need a bearing on the drivers side. I need struts. My heat dont work. My windshield fluid sprayer doesnt work. Gaskets. And front window wont roll down.

Ernie is the best! The customer care is allways top notch, Ernie is fair with his prices and a good mechanic who cares about his customers and also stands by the work he does.If you want a good and acurate repair on your vehicle, this is the place to come to.

Always honest and fair. Ive been going to him for years, never had a problem.

I’ve been using this garage for years now I really like the way they are taking care of the problems...... and you get a free car wash which is nice! Thanks Ernie!!!!!

My son, daughter and myself use this garage for repairs the prices are great. Today my son was told by another garage that he needed over $800 dollars worth of work and Ernie checked his car half the things that the other place said he needed was not even needed.

Ernie is very knowledgeable and all for a great price. Our motor would have blown and it would have been more pricier thank god for him.

Great service and the staff are really polite and extremely nice

Great customer service, very personal. Overall a great experience!

Very knowledgeable and did not try to oversell me anything I didnt need.... very fair and I would definitely be going back

Always great service there !!! thank you all at Sponge Brothers car wash

Went in for an EGR coil replacement. Ernie explained the issue with my vehicle, fixed it and it is running like a charm!

Awesome experience did more than i ask for plus a excellent wash job😎

I trust no one else with my car but Ernie. He’s honest and always explains what needs to be done and an estimate before any work is done

I have been going here for years they are always honest and due repairs on a timely basis they also always review issues and ensure you understand what needs to be dige heifer they start a pleasure to deal with and an honest shop to trust

Got an oil change done, and have done many things here. Great quick walk in service.

Anthony great affordable prices good work !!

Very professional and friendly. Great service

They have serviced my cars now for 5 years. I cant say enough about the quality, service, and attention to detail. BRUCE

Honest work at a fair price.

Ernie personally handled me and my troubles and the rest of the staff clearly is influenced by his kind and genuine attitude.

Looking for a good honest mechanic look no father Ernie the man

Anthony fixed my AC it’s ice cold for god price

Very helpful, fair prices

I am the owner of the white corvette. And to the person that wrote that ugly review about it, before you post anything about the car or any other info the person who wrote the review need to get the true facts before they post more disinformation

My only problem was having to wait for the part to come in.

Never again will I go here rude folks an say come at a certain time hours later then they wanna help you only went there because I thought Ernie was still there an gave me different prices lying untrustworthy glad I found Ernie at Bens shell service center you guys are terrible

Horrible service and my car wasnt even fixed

Very helpful, fast, friendly service

Professional, thorough and very helpful.

Ernie is a kind and funny guy, he is a very experienced mechanic and knows exactly how to deal with the problem

Ernie is a great mechanic and a great man, he knows what’s the problem within minutes and his prices are considerable, live it!

This a very friendly place and they care about the service they give you. I will continue to use them.

Ernie doesn’t work there anymore, go somewhere else and don’t give your money to these shady people !

Awesome mechanic, maybe the best in CT!

The last place you should bring your car for auto repair!!!!

The Best.

Great Job.

Awesome, fast, quality service

As always fair and friendly

There the best

Amazing service

Horrible service

I recommend this place. In this place if they try to help you they dont charge you for pleasure.
