North Haven Auto Repair

It's hard to find a mechanic that you feel isn't taking advantage or slabbing on a multitude of extras you 1) didn't expect and 2) can't afford. Mark and Kurt did neither. From start to the finish of our experience, we felt taken care of, and they absolutely held up to their claims: quality service with full transparency. I especially appreciated them taking our calls and questions prior to even coming in: we had recently gone to a dealership who wanted us to replace a pricey part of our car. Mark was suspicious of this given my car's mileage/age and went to task at heartily locating the real issue--offering me a 'second opinion'. Unsurprisingly, and much to our relief, it was not necessary to go to this dramatic expense. It spoke a lot to us of the integrity of this family run business that they didn't simply go the same route as the dealership (and maybe at a slightly more competivie price) ... in today's economy, that would be both easy and tempting. We would highly recommend this business and will trust our vehicles in the future with Mark and Kurt without hesitation. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that they are both kind, professional and nice to work with! SIX STARS because of that!

My wife and I were pleased to have found a local repair shop that is minutes away and whose crew serviced our vehicle with careful attention and made us feel valued--so many businesses make you feel like another transaction, this place is different. We had come to them for a second opinion and are glad we did--it saved us a lot of money, too. Mark and his brother spent much time in explaining what was wrong with our vehicle because they also took the time running many tests to figure out what exactly was the issue ... something the dealership did not do for us. Overall we recommend this business and would trust our vehicles to Mark again without hesitation.

Mark took my Lemon and made great lemonaid. He solved an unusual and difficult problem quickly and economically. Add me to his legion of admirers!

Could not be happier.

Recently had my vehicle serviced at Lydell Motors! They are a highly ethical business, with outstanding communication, expert knowledge and skill set, as well as being trustworthy and honest. Would highly recommend them!!

LYDELL motors is the very best foreign car shop in the entire area. I presented them with a challenging project which was a tired 1971 MGB that needed a lot of attention. They handled the issues that were known about the car and also proceeded to resolve a number of items that were not for-seen. In the end, everything is ship shape and the car runs wonderfully. Anyone who has a similar vehicle could do no better than taking it to LYDELL motors to get everything done as it should be. John M

Mark and the rest of the folks over at Lydell Motors did a great job getting to the root cause of what was causing engine issues on my Volkswagen GTI. Turns out I needed a new timing chain and fuel injectors. They were very thorough when it came to their work up and made sure that they explained their thought process and what repairs would be needed. Overall, the turnaround time was reasonable and so was their pricing. I’d happily bring my vehicle here again.

Best mechanics ever: No question
