Complete scam!!! First I had a engine light problem, and when I went to handys, the engine light disappeared on the dashboard, and I told the guy with the glasses to check on the car, and he said I need do need a battery replacement, which 270. But I don’t even think he even change the battery. After 1 day, when I got out of work I could not start the car again, and so I called for a tow and this guy does not know anything he was just doing random things to my car, and then it got towed by to handys, where they said they will check it again. Next morning, the guy with the glasses called, and said it’s ready to pick up. I picked up the car, and drove it home and when I want it to use it again it would not start, so I called them, and the guy with the glasses said “I don’t know what happened, I checked everything “ which make me know that he does not know what he’s doing, and I also paid 200 just for check. I got the car towed to Midas auto service expert and they said they can’t fix it and needs to be brought to the dealership. Handys is a complete scam, I don’t why they are still open for business.
They are very professional and respectful. They picked me up when my alternator died and took me back to my hotel room since they couldn't finish it until the next day. I highly recommend them for your automotive needs.

Provided by SuperpagesNeeded a inspection for my new vehicle. It was a Friday around noon. They got me in with no appointment, but they made me wait 2.5 hours while I putted around downtown. Thankfully I work in a store downtown and filled my time in there, but for a wanderer this could be annoying. After driving away I felt my car was dragging when I took my break off the gas. Going back to get that figured out. Should've turned around right away but had an appointment to get to.

Provided by SuperpagesStopped in to get my tires checked out as I felt they were getting low, especially with winter coming and got a GREAT price on new Firestone tires. Their mechanic showed brought me in to the garage to show me the wear on my front rotors and wisely suggested replacement. Wow, what a difference as I don't have the shake in the steering wheel when I come to a stop. Overall price and service was impressive and as the 1st time coming here I would gladly be a future return customer and would suggest others to check them out for themselves. Thanks to the Handy's crew! TL
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Fraudulent/Scam!!! I needed emergency service on my car since it decided to overheat while in Burlington on vacation. Handy's was able to see me as a walk in, however after having it for over 3 hours, they called to tell me it was ready to be picked up, that there was nothing wrong with it except air in the radiator. When I arrived I was shocked to hear I owed $115 for a service I had no clue they had provided, let alone was never asked permission to give. Normally when your car is at a mechanics they call to explain the problem they found (after extensive search) and then tell you what they need to do to fix it and how much it would cost to fix. Charlie at Handy's never did that. I paid after some protest, and not even 2 blocks later the car started overheating again. Yet Charlie said they were unable to duplicate the problem. I brought it right back for them to look at, and after another couple of hours was told it was the head gasket of my engine, roughly a $1500 fix!!! It was clear to me they had not taken the time from the beginning to go through all of the components of the system to see what was causing the issue. They did work without my approval and charged and insane amount to do so. They quoted me $1500 to do a job 5 other service stations in the area said they would do for $900. I went to Handy's to get my car and declined the service, and immediately took it to Noye's automotive on Pine St. After 20 minutes under the hood I was told there was absolutely NO way it was the head gasket, something everyone else I spoke to said was most likely the case as well. Avoid Handy's at all costs, this place is unprofessional and inexperienced at best. At the worst, they are overpriced and a complete scam. Save your energy and go to Noyes, Kaigles or Gurlington.
horriable place scamers trying to get a dollar tell you 900 dollars when its 50 dollar fix. don't go there.

Provided by SuperpagesA great, friendly place to get your car worked on. They got me in and out on the same day. Their prices were very competitive. I would highly recommend Handy's Service Center!

Provided by SuperpagesDon't have your vehicle repaired here! I was charged twice the amount for "diagnosis" then the part. This was after we agreed on just putting the part in. A very sleazy garage.
I have had my car towed numerous times by Handy's and never had any issues. They offer great service in a timely manor and their prices are reasonable. I will continue to use Handys for all of my automotive repairs/needs. Thanks Handy's!!!

Provided by SuperpagesI would highly recommend this repair shop. Sadly, i have had many automotive issues, and Handy's has always taken care of me. They get you in and out and their prices are reasonable.

Provided by SuperpagesService was quick and they let me know how much everything was before they did the work.
Dents can happen to anyone's car being towed. Doesn't matter who towes it. At least your car wasn't towed by Rathe's and dropped because it was not properly hooked up !
