“This was my first experience with bringing my vehicle to a mechanic seeing as I'm normally a DIY kind of guy, but my Mini Cooper was having computer issues that went way beyond what I could fix. I was very nervous to drop it off, until I got there and met the crew. Very nice lady at the front counter introduced me to the mechanic Tom, they both quickly made me much more comfortable. I highly recommend them and going forward I will not hesitate on bringing my car there with any needs I might have. Got my car back for a VERY, very good price in under 24 hours, running better than ever.”

“It is always a pleasure dealing with the staff at Automotive Excellence. Tom and Angela are very helpful and honest. I feel comfortable bringing my vehicles there and not worrying about getting taken advantage of. I recommend them to my friends and family all the time.”

“I recently got the back panel of my Audi A4 fixed after it had been dented. After a free quote and meeting Roy, we decided on European auto works immediately. They got me in right away and my car was returned within the week, better than it had looked before the dent happened. I couldn't believe the beautiful work Roy can do. Fair price and great service. Thank you Roy!”

“Apparently I missed the email letting me know I needed to pick a different day and time. Well, I showed up at 7:45 am and I wasn’t in the system. However, they took my car in and serviced it without question. I trust Automotive Excellence. with my Audi Q5. It’s so hard to find someone you trust ! Thank you !”

“I lived in Connecticut for a year and a half. I bought a used car that ended up having a TON of problems. Everyone at Automotive Excellence helped me immensely, from talking me through what to do when I was on the side of the road, to giving me loaner cars when my car had to be in the shop for an extended period of time, to making me laugh when I checked out, even if my $$$ amount was hard to stomach. Automotive Excellence made me feel so cared for. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone with a European car, or otherwise. I had very obscure problems, and they always did their best to dig to the bottom of them.”

“I started going to ES with my 2004 Mini Cooper when Mini Service of Darien charged me for a service it never performed. I brought my Mini to John on the suggestion of a Saab owning friend of mine and was very pleased. Not only did ES fix the problem the dealership charged me for, but did so at a fair price. It's been about 4 years since that initial visit and my pleasure with ES remains high. I've also recommended ES to other friends who have been equally satisfied with their service.”

“They do great, great work. These cars aren't cheap to maintain or repair, so you want the job done right the first time. That's exactly the kind of service you can come to expect from these guys. They're knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I have been bringing my car to these guys for almost 8 years and I have never had to bring the car back a second time for a re-repair. They always do it right the first time.”
