Every aspect of this business is exceptional. Willie & his whole crew are sincerely the best of the best I have ever encountered in any business let alone the automotive industry. You can expect pure professionalism & top quality of work while receiving honest & trustworthy diagnostics with whatever the issue may be. My vehicle had some irregular, complex things going on which were conquered by their fantastic & friendly teamwork as well as their enthusiastic & generous determination. I couldn’t be more grateful to have come across their amazing reviews both online and my local community page at just the right time. Can’t say enough. Totally impressed. They have a customer & anyone I can turn their way for life.
Willies is a wonderful automotive shop. The owner is super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. His shop fixed my sons car under budget and on time. Can’t say enough great things about this place…. Go there… you won’t be disappointed.
I waited in the office for service and watched Maggie in the office. She is personable, professional and knowledgeable. One of the mechanics, Chris, was also pleasant and efficient. Its a great place.
Excellent car care services at very reasonable prices...They are very talented mechanics... Willie is the BEST...!
I contacted Willie by phone regarding a used car for my daughter.He took the time to explain about our current used car market, and offered some ideas as far as a mini van and another possible vehicle he may have. Very pleasant and understanding, he goes out of his way to support the Southbury community.
I recently moved to Southbury and wanted to find a mechanic close to home.. I couldn’t be happier with Willies! He not only does great work but he’s also friendly, honest and knowledgeable. He gives you a detailed overview of the work he intends to do on your vehicle and the price is always fair! The turn around is also extremely quick. Both times I’ve brought my truck in, the work was done within a day. I highly recommend Willies and will be using him for many years to come. Thanks Willie!
Fixed my muffler pipe good car is nice and quiet, and I dont have to mickey mouse it anymore, thanks!!
Willie and his crew are amazing!! I had my alternator and battery replaced. Very professional, very friendly, and very reasonable. Will definitely be recommending them! Thanks Willie
Always a pleasant experience at Willies! He did the brakes all the way around, tire rotation, and found a noise thats been driving me nuts for over a year! I am EXTREMELY picky about who touches my car but Willie is so trustworthy and more importantly HONEST! You dont find that very often in the world today! Thank you Willies Automotive and please, kiss your little girl pooch for me! She makes the wait so worth it!
Willie is awesome. He and his staff do great work. Definitely the best mechanic Ive ever used. They go above and beyond to do right by the customer, and this makes you want to keep going back.
I took in my car to get two separate noises looked at as one was previously attributed to the brakes which did not go away after another mechanic had replaced all brakes. Both noises were localized and promptly fixed within hours for a very reasonable price. Other maintenance concerns were brought up for future consideration but nothing was pushy or salesy. Excited to have a smooth, noiseless ride again. Highly recommend these guys; very knowledgable.
My husband got a screw in his tire 30 min into our 12 hour drive to indiana. While willies couldn’t help us immediately since they would need to order a tire, they sent us to a tire shop down the road. They did not have to do that, they could have made us wait hours for the order to come in, but they didn’t. Kind people who clearly care about those around them rather than just the money
Great service. I couldnt get the car started. They traced the problem to a broken wire, then repaired it. No new parts required. The car runs great now. Best of all he didnt try to up-sell me like at the dealer. I liked the service so well, I plan to return to buy tires there.
Willie is really nice along with his employees.
Honest, friendly & competent.A great guy!
The absolute best “wrap around” service I’ve seen in a automotive shop in my life. The overall customer service and experience makes it worth the wait to get in. You know the shop is amazing when there’s always vehicles outside waiting. I’m highly impressed with the cleanliness, organizing and respectful atmosphere they have. There’s no reason not to come to Willies!
I use Willie’s Automotive for all my car repair needs and have always been pleased with the professionalism and workmanship that he provides in the town of Southbury.I fully recommend checking Willie’s out, you won’t be disappointed
This is one auto shop you wont dread going to. Trust me. I am a fickle person and everything about Willies is A+. Knowledgeable in both foreign and domestic vehicles, wonderful personality and it has a welcoming atmosphere all together. His pricing is honest and budget friendly. Did I mention PET friendly!? This is what Southbury needed! Thank you WIllie youll be seeing a lot more of us!
This establishment is what service used to be! I was here with an out of state visitors car that wasnt running well at all,after being turned away by others because they were too busy, the owner personally welcomed us, looked over the car, stated and printed all problems. He gave recommendations and predictions...he couldnt have called it any more accurately! I later approached with major problems with my daughters car...they worked with me above any of my expectations! I choose to get my tires and brakes done too because Im so confident with them and couldnt be any more comfortable approaching them about anything! Highly recommended! Great pricing! Clean and welcoming!
Had brakes done. Good price. Really nice guys. They finished everything quickly, took for a test drive, didn’t like the feel of the calipers, so they upgraded at no extra cost. Stayed late to finish. The experience was a Master Class in customer service.
Had my clutch replaced. Great work, high quality, and very reasonable. Willie knows his stuff!
The do a great job and are honest about their prices and what needs to be done. They could have done over 5k in with on my car without an issue. Instead he suggested bypassing the issue and getting rid of 4 wheel drive. Extremely high mileage car. 600 bucks later and I still have a good car that works perfectly.
Had a small oil leak that they found was a simple fix and also changed out my wiper blades and replaced a light bulb for me. Great vibes and a great spirit from the owner, his wife, and the young lady answering the phone. Willie seems to be a stand up guy, and I will be back there for all of my automotive needs for sure.
I am extremely pleased with the work performed on my vehicle at Willies Automotive. They are friendly, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Theyre are very thorough and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing repairs on their vehicle.
After reading the reviews I thought Id give Willies a try. I was very impressed. If I could give 6 stars I would. Great personalized service and great mechanic. He wont try to sell you something you dont need and youll feel confident the work was done right at a fair price.
I want to share my experience at Willies Automotive. Very professional, very knowledgeable and the friendliest people around. I highly recommend anyone in need of automotive services to go see them.They go above and beyond to make your visit a good one.
Willies Automotive is awesome! Everyone there is honest, caring, extremely fair, and will always look out for YOUR best interest. I came in for new brakes and an oil change and couldnt be any happier. Everything was explained, the car was looked over for anything else that might need to get replaced and the work was done promptly considering how busy they were! Thank you so much Willie and Shirley and Chris! You guys rock and Ill keep bringing my Jeep back to you! See you soon!
Ive heard many good things abut Willies since he opened here in Southbury, but never had the opportunity to do business with him. He replaced a battery in my Mercedes and was extremely fair with his price. Hes friendly, knowledgeable and provides a clean inviting environment. Not only that, but he provided details on an array of repair services that he offers and I never felt like I was being sold. Willie is the real deal and an asset to our community. All of our cars will now be serviced by Willies Automotive.
I was a customer of a large chain for a long time and got tired of the nonsense. The people here are beyond nice, offered me a ride home instead of waiting, but I went to the diner next door, price is more than fair for what they do on a basic oil change, they are honest, and they gave me a Veteran discount without even asking. This is the best place Ive been to as far a local mechanic.
I had my brakes and rotors done here today and when Willie looked at my bill he said let’s see if we can do a little better on the price for you and brought it down a noticeable amount. Friendly, professional service. Happy to have him in town
Excellent, fast, friendly service at an extremely reasonable price. Super accommodating! I can’t say enough good things about the shop, the owner, and the service. I will be recommending Willie’s to all of my friends and family for their automotive needs.
Willies is a wonderful place to take your vehicle(s). Great attention to detail, reasonably priced and most importantly honest!
As a woman I often feel intimidated or unsure if I am being treated fairly at auto shops. Not Wllie’s! Willie is absolutely HONEST, will not do unnecessary service and will help you out when you need it. I will go to Willie’s for all my service needs.
#32! I am not one to post recommendations online, but Willie’s is absolutely wonderful and I think everyone needs to know it! They treat you like family and really take care of you and your car! They won’t sell you services you don’t need and they KNOW what your car needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thanks Willie!
We are new to Southbury and I was worried about finding a new place for auto repair that I could trust. I had heard great things about Willies and loved how they offered up their shop as a refuge to the community after the large storms that we had this past Summer. I started with an oil change to see how things were there and I could not be more pleased with the service, the shop overall and with the welcome that I received. I am not usually one to leave reviews, but when I receive outstanding service I am happy to share that experience with others. I felt that Willie, his family and his team were a pleasure to work with, they were fair and honest and that they are a wonderful addition to the list of things that we love about Southbury. We hope to rely on Willies for many years of service across a small fleet of older vehicles that I hope to keep running for a long time. Thanks again!
You will find no better mechanic or business person than Willie. My car started over heating with my 3 young children in the back seat. I called Willie’s shop and they told me to bring it in right away. Willie immediately diagnosed the issue and had it fixed within a day. If you are looking for a trustworthy and fair mechanic, look no further! (He also offers a 10% discount for teachers 🙌🏼, which was a very nice surprise)
I brought my 09 Forester here last week after getting a very expensive estimate. Willie did the same work + more for less money, and Im very pleased with the results. Thank you again for your honesty and kindness!
Honest, great pricing, great customer service, and would recommend Willies to anyone
I can not recommend this place enough. I’ve had my brakes done and a couple oil changes down and my car runs great. Friendly, efficient, and all around great service. If I could give them more than five stars I would.
Fair prics, friendly, and informative. Never felt like i was being taken advantage of, which i have felt in so many previous shops. And referred me to the right places to get new rims rather than charging me themselves. Lots of honor and respect here. Will visit again.
I had a really bad tire blowout they got me back on the road in 15 minutes I couldnt have thanked them enough
I coasted (literally) into this shop at 4:59 PM on a Saturday with a dead alternator in a 17-year old vehicle, but they were able to get my vehicle back up and running by noon on Monday. I cannot say enough about the great people at this shop. Thank you again.
Willie and his crew know their stuff, offer fair prices and provide great customer service. Love the waiting room atmosphere as well. Experienced, dependable and full of integrity!
At the risk of sounding like Marisa Tomei from My Cousin Vinny - my dad was a mechanic, my step-dad is a mechanic, my brother in law is a mechanic, my boyfriend is a mechanic, my best friend is a mechanic...you get the idea. Ive been around cars my entire life and I know a lot myself. Willies Automotive is the real deal. Willie himself is such a nice guy and a straight shooter. If you need something not only is he going to tell you what it is, but he will tell you why and with pictures to boot. Not to mention he wants to make sure that you have every understanding of what is being done to your car and what youre expected to pay. I appreciate the transparency greatly. More than anything, though, I appreciate that Willie speaks to me about cars without the assumption that I dont know anything about them. And, the best thing is that if you actually dont know a thing about cars Willie and Chris will educate you in a way that doesnt make you feel dumb for not knowing in the first place. Love everything about these guys! If you havent been - go! You wont regret it.
I appreciate Willies straight forward, honest approach. His prices are unbeatable and service quality is top notch. I highly recommend Willies Automotive!
Willies has quickly become my local go to mechanic. They are knowledgeable, trustworthy and helpfull answering questions. Nothing but great service, A+
I didnt ever think I would be leaving a review for being WOWd at the mechanic... But todays the day! Amazing service. Amazing care. And unbelievable professionalism. From the moment I called to ask for help to the second I left I was amazed. They were able to accommodate my needs at a moments notice, take me step by step of what needed done and get it all done before the expected time. 12/10 experience. Will be back.*The perk of it being so dog friendly is a huge plus.* Thank you!
Know this mother from previous business dealings. Nice honest smart hardworking sincere family.would not hesitate to go there. Can stop by and just meet owner and Auto tech u can see the kind of people they are by looking at them.nice comfortable wait room.
Great from start to finish. Friendly service, thorough explanation, transparent pricing. Willie diagnosed my brake issues, explained it to me in a thorough and simple manner, gave me fair pricing on replacing my brakes and brake hoses, and got it done within the same day. Thanks Willie!
Willie and his staff are incredibly helpful. They were able to diagnose a problem with a suspension, their honesty and fairness go a long way in this day and age.. They are very user friendly, and offer a discount to public safety people !!
Very friendly and competent. Work done in a timely manner. I recommend Willie for your next oil change or repair
Fantastic service! Very friendly treat you like family. Great quality work! And great prices.
I would recommend going here if you need work done to your vehicle because of the great service and their prices.
Great service, great pricing! I was pleasantly surprised, definitely the smoothest car repair experience Ive ever had. Really liked the staff, very trustworthy, family run business
Top notch service, great people, the cleanest mechanic shop I have ever seen!I will definitely be returning for any future mechanic needs.
I called for an oil change cost. It was were it was supposed to be. The kicker is she said “drop it off an I’ll bring you home.
Great service. Got my oil changed at a great price.
Willie is the nicest person!Best Synthetic oil change in town!Highly recommended!!!
These guys are amazing. I had a problem with my tire and stopped by. They fixed the issue right away.
Can’t recommend this place enough, I was in and out in no time. Willie explained everything to me so I was able to understand what was wrong with my car. After ten years going to the same mechanic he has won me over!
Excellent staff, fast and friendly, will definitely go back again! great price for a oil change and included a free tire rotation!
Great people and awesome service! Highly recommend for all your automotive needs!
Excellent place
Excellent service they explain everything about your car and they make sure everything works perfectThank you will be back
I ended up going to Willies based on someones recommendation on a facebook page. Yesterday I had gone to Valvoline for an oil change and they said I needed a new serpentine belt, but they couldnt unscrew it because the screw/nut was too rusty. I checked out Willies Automotives web site first and read some reviews and called them this morning. They took me immediately, Willie himself met me, introduced himself, shook my hand. Vanessa in the front office was super friendly and nice. Both were very informative. Willie will work with you, tell you exactly whats wrong, what can wait to be fixed, and he is not pushy. I am so, so impressed by this place, I highly recommend them! I will be going back next week to get badly needed tires. They also have a free warranty, coffee, soda, and water - and snacks. They offer rides to the locals. And theyre right on Main Street South in Southbury, a great, great town. My 25 minute drive there was well worth it!
Best place!
