I have been bringing my cars to Willimantic Autoworks since the mid eighties. Jim is honest, personable, reliable and an amazing diagnostician and mechanic. You can be absolutely certain that when Jim says the car is ready to be picked up, the problem is fixed. My wife and I take great comfort in knowing that Jim will be able to fix our cars whatever the issue. We would (and happily do) trust him with our lives. His knowledge of the inner workings of cars (something of a mystery to me) is incredibly deep. If Jim wasn't the best auto mechanic in the northeast it's easy to imagine him as a professor of automotive science at UCONN (if there was such a thing). I first went to Jim on the recommendation of a friend after my then mechanic told me the steering box on my '83 Toyota Tercel needed to be replaced (at a cost of $1500 in 1985!). Jim told me that he had seen a similar problem in VW Bugs and they sometimes only needed a bit of oil added to the steering box. He applied the oil, charged me $5 and the car ran for another 150,000 miles with his care and I never had another issue with the steering box. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough!!! Great dispenser of philosophy to boot!

Jim is such a gentleman. He's done so much to make sure my car(s) worked right. You can tell he takes pleasure in the challenge of auto repair. I can't tell you how many times he's gone over and above to hook me up and taken care of any problems I've had. Thanks Jim.

Best mechanic in the area. Far superior than Volkswagen dealerships in the "quiet corner". This guy is a TRUE mechanic and not some glorified computer tech and oil changer like at VW dealerships these days. Won't go anywhere else any more.

Jim, the owner of Willimantic Autoworks, is not only an excellent and honest mechanic but also a genuine car enthusiast! He did a very thorough job repairing my 2008 Mazda Miata at a fair and reasonable price. His enthusiasm for cars shows in his good work. I highly recommend Jim and Willimantic Autoworks for your car repair and maintenance needs.
