What clients say about Classic Auto Repair LLC in East Montpelier Township (VT)
Brought my truck in for a blown head gasket. Their only solution? A new or rebuilt motor for $8,000 with a 2-4 week wait. No attempt at an actual repair, just the most expensive option possible, take it or leave it.
Their own description says they are "your top choice for all your auto and fleet repair needs" and that they "service all makes and models of all ages." Apparently that doesn't include repairing a head gasket, a standard job any competent shop will do.
I paid $260 just to hear that. Not for a repair. Not for parts. Just for the privilege of being handed the most expensive bid possible and shown the door.
Got a second opinion the same day. Two hours of labor including machining. Done.
I essentially paid $260 to have my truck towed somewhere else. If your problem is anything beyond a flat tire, or maybe some undercoating, save yourself the time and money and find someone who actually wants the work.
Travis is the man. He did a huge job for me which included taking the motor out of my prized possession corvette and making it a powerhouse ! Guys a top tier technician and this shop deserves some recognition. Thanks guys !
Purchased GMC van from Classic Auto Exchange and could not have had a better experience. Boomer and Ron are super helpful and no pressure. They have been there for a long time and very knowledgeable and helpful. Recently had some brake work done at Classic’s E. Mtplr repair shop. Easy to make appt, price was right, work was done timely, and their shuttle for customers is dependable. Thank you Classic Auto!!!
My fueling issue wasn't complicate, but it needed fairly immediate attention. The CAR team worked me into a busy schedule, were willing to check a few other maintenance items off the list, and got my truck back on the road. Looking forward to making Classic Auto Repair my regular service shop.
I got a flat tire in Plainfield and was able to swap to my spare tire. Classic Auto was the closest garage so I hobbled over there on the donut. When I walked into the shop and told them I was having a terrible morning, the two gentlemen at the counter didn’t hesitate to help. I feel like these folks went above and beyond what other tire specific shops would have done on the area. They expertly patched the tire, reset the tire pressure, and even noticed that using the donut caused a weird code to show. They cleared the code and even took it down the road to ensure it wouldn’t throw the same code. They were friendly, prompt, non-judgmental, and speedy even with the added work. Considering I don’t come in with an appointment and the issue with the code, I thought they were very reasonably priced. I’m hoping to bring vehicles there in the future for planned service. Ps-one pet peeve o have about some tire shops in the area is how dirty they leave my car. I get it, tires are dirty, but the guys here left no trace in my car which honestly made the whole experience that much better. Great work on this repair!
I went to Classic auto for a simple air bag light. My girlfriend got a gift certificate for Christmas. Never been before, I can’t say I even knew it was there. Dropped the car off. They called and told us it was done but it had also been hit by one of there employees. They were very transparent about the accident. When I came to pick up the car they told us straight up. The damage was close to none. They offered to pick up the bill for us and repair said damage, needing the car I paid the bill in full and said not to worry. I recommend classic auto to anyone in East Montpelier, I just hope they use the rear view mirrors more when moving the cars in the lot! ?
