Hi, I need to get my brakes changed pretty badly and am looking to see if anyone has some good suggestions for affordable mechanics in the Hamden/New Haven area.

I really like ricks auto in Hamden. They’ll be honest about what work actually needs to be done and what can wait, and they always do a nice job.

I'll second Rick's in Hamden. He's a good guy. Took a car there once because the right front was making a horrible noise when I turned right. I'm thinking a few hundred $$$ worth of work. When I go pick it up, he told me there was ice/snow packed into the wheel and he melted it off. No charge, even though he obviously spent time diagnosing what the noise was. He's also completely reasonable for other work. Done oil changes, brakes, O2 sensors, etc. over the years for me.

Good customer service but HORRIBLY overpriced. Like 4x the price of other places. Went there for wheel bearings and rotors and was getting quoted at $2k-$3k per wheel and they try to sell you on stuff you don’t need. Said my brake pads were low when they were 6mm and you need to replace them at 1.5mm. They’re fake and try to use their customer service to sell you at absurd prices
