Affordable Automotive maintains and repairs all vehicles with passion, knowledge and care. With the emphasis on the customer knowing and feeling they have found the shop that cares for them, their family and their vehicle.
We pride ourselves on being your local, hometown auto service center. Since 1999 we have taken care of many, many vehicles with honesty and pride that the job was done right.
Affordable Automotive is owned by a husband and wife team, Dimitri and Rose. We have lived in New Milford with our 2 children for over 25 years. We take pride in serving our customers with a personal touch.
We only use the highest quality parts, materials, and equipment available, and employ technicians and an office staff that take pride in their skill, workmanship, and attention to detail.
We at Affordable Automotive care for the environment. Since we are in an industry that uses chemicals and petroleums, we use a recycling company that picks up our waste motor oil, waste transmission fluid, antifreeze and old oil filters. We do not wash engines in the shop since we are not equipped with a water recycling system.

Chris S5 StarI have been taking my vehicles here since I moved to New Milford. They were recommended by a friend. Every time I bring one of my vehicles here for repair or service Dimitri is always fair and upfront with what my vehicle needs. He does not try to upsell or add on things that my vehicle does not actually need. I appreciate this kind of service which is hard to find now a days. I will continue to bring my vehicles here for service. Thank youTuesday 4th January 2022

Joe1 StarYou’ll want to stay away from this guy
My car went in for a water pump on my particular model car the water pump is also part of the balance shafts
There is a special tool used to do this water pump so that you don’t have to take off the timing cover. This is what he used. When my car was brought in I brought it in for a coolant leak ( which turned out to be the water pump) and to check the motor mounts. No vibrations
He replaced the water pump and One motor mount. When I picked up the car it had a bad vibration which was not there when I brought it to him.
He then said that it’s possible that a transmission mount is bad if not then the thought was that maybe it’s the balance shafts
I understood this so the car was brought back to him to see if it was the mount. That was not the problem. The next step would be to look at the balance shift timing. Which is exactly what he worked on.
When I stated that this was a problem because the car didn’t have a vibration when it came in. Then his excuses were I don’t know who worked on this before it made noises when it came in. Ok if the car made noises when it came in then why wasn’t I informed of this? Which I wasn’t. Don’t you think any legitimate repair shop would tell you about noises?
As far as I was informed the only needed a water pump and the motor mount.
Now I have a serious problem with the work he performed His response was I am fixing it for free. He would give me a discount to repair this vibration. Keep in mind that the thought is that the vibration is coming from the exact area he worked on
I stated that this was unacceptable He didn’t care and was not going to fix it.
I am going to take every action I can to rectify this ( small claims court, DMV, disputes with the bank)
Here is an example of how he conducts business. He will charge you One hour for diagnosing you cars problem even if you have the work done with him. I don’t think any legitimate repair shop does this.
Nearly a 80% markup on the water pump that was used. I checked the prices at local parts stores. I understand that there are mark up on parts but this is ridiculous
I am sure he will respond to this as he commonly does.
The bottom line is be very careful with this guy. It’s simple my car had no vibration before I was never told there was a vibration. Now it has a bad one and the next step is to look at the area he worked on.
Which will be done by another shopSaturday 11th December 2021
