Central Garage

Used them a few times over the years, right up until they wanted to charge me $50 to jump my car. The work was fine, but they are a consistently bad neighbor. They block the sidewalk with vehicles regularly, and in the winter they plow their lot directly onto the sidewalk and crosswalk, which is a real hazard. I have had to contact the Town Council about it more than once. Several of their older vehicles also leak oil into the storm drain out front, which is a particular problem in a community that prides itself on protecting its environment. They used to display their political beliefs prominently on the outside of the building as well, though that signage has since come down. The inside tells a different story. Just something to be aware of if that matters to you when choosing where to spend your money. Plenty of other options in the area.

Fantastic service...these guys saved my a$$ by replacing a wheel bearing on a Memorial Day weekend. Very reasonable pricing for this job! Thank you!

Dropped my car off 3 times to get my rear differential and tire pressure sensor looked at along with an oil change, first 2 times they didn’t even look at the car, 3rd they didn’t bother doing the work I asked and did an oil change and cleared the codes. Next day codes came back and I called to bring it back and they told me bring it in at 4-4:30. I called them back at 4 to confirm they could look at my car because of the prior experience and they said no one’s in the garage and that they have 4 police vehicles they’re working on. This place is so disorganized and dysfunctional that it’s a miracle they are still open.

Jay and his team (Adnan, Talon etc.) have helped us many times and is a great help to the folks in the area. He has helped us both with our car and motorcycle. Recently, we had a flat with our motorcycle. Jay got the tow sent to us quickly and fixed the puncture within a day. We trust him and his team - good, honest, super hardworking business. --Nandan

As a local resident, I’ve heard mixed feedback about Central Garage but wanted to support a small, local business rather than a chain. We called ahead to schedule an oil change and tire rotation and were given a 4:30 PM appointment. Wanting to be timely, we dropped the vehicle off at 3:00 PM and spent the afternoon in town, including dinner. At around 4:00 PM, we were told the vehicle would be ready by 5:30—6:00 PM at the latest. However, when we returned around 7:00 PM, the vehicle hadn’t been moved from where we parked it. The staff on site were polite and mentioned they could get to it later that night if we were able to leave it. Unfortunately, we needed the vehicle back that evening, which is why we scheduled a same-day appointment in the first place. Had we known it wouldn’t be serviced until later or possibly the next day, we would have planned accordingly. This experience highlighted a significant communication issue that made the situation unnecessarily frustrating and inconvenient.
