On Mill Street, behind the town center.
Look for the lettering across the glass: PT AUTO EXPERTS, with STATE & EMISSIONS INSPECTIONS under it. We are in Suite A, and there is a key drop by the door for anything left overnight.

Why people end up here
Usually because somewhere else could not find it.
A trouble code is a symptom. It tells you which circuit complained, not which part failed, and the difference between those two things is the difference between a repair and a bill.
Tony has been doing this for 45 years and has spent 23 of them in this building. Ryan came up through this shop from beginner to lead technician. That is who looks at the car, and it is why so many of the reviews are from people who had already been somewhere else with no result.
What we do

Tires
Need tires? Start with the car.
Type your VIN and we will read the year, model and wheel size off it, then show you what we fit and what it costs. Or use the plate, the model, or the size on the sidewall.
Tell us what it is doing.
Call during shop hours, or send a request any time: the shop is closed 70% of the week and anything that arrives overnight is on the list before the doors open. There is an after-hours key drop if the car needs to be here before you are, and a shuttle to anywhere within 5 miles of the shop.
