Autosport

I haven’t actually left my car with Autosport to get any work done yet. But I called them today because I had a terrible noise crop up that I suspected might be a pebble stuck in the braking system. The problem seemed to correct itself on the way there, but when I arrived, one of the service guys, I believe he said his name was Tom, was working on a car and saw me nearby with my ear down by my wheel. He came over and politely asked what I was listening for. I told him that there had been a high-​pitched squealing sound that had corrected itself. Even though I wasn’t going to be leaving my car that day and was not yet a customer, he still confirmed that it had likely been a pebble, and took the time to do a quick visual check on my tires to see if they needed rotating or replacement. He even told me approximately how many more miles he thought I had left on the most worn tire. He obviously didn’t have to do any of that, especially when he was busy with other cars and I wasn’t yet a paying customer. They can be sure that I will be back for any maintenance my car might need in the future.

I’ve had my cars serviced and repaired (emergency) here. And I’ve rented occasionally over the years. I, many years ago, worked as a mechanic. I only wish I had apprenticed under these guys.
Professional, expert and honest.

(NOTE: This is a review of AutoRent, the car rental portion of this business.)
I swear, I will NEVER rent a car from NYC again. I’ve had average experiences in NYC, nothing traumatic, but the prices! OH, the prices! Even with a corporate discount from my organization, I’ll still be out at least $ 200 for two days, once all taxes, insurance, and EZ Pass rental fees are covered.
AutoRent is a completely different story.
I needed a car for, literally, one day. If I had rented from NYC, I’d have to rent a car for four days just to use it on that one; I’d pick up on Thursday and bring it back on Sunday. That way I’d get a slight discount on prices. Luckily, I knew this car rental service existed via AutoSport and had my mother call in a one-​day reservation for me. I just needed to get from Canaan to Springfield and back again. That’s it!
First off, the service was so quick, so friendly! If I didn’t have to drive away to do my trip to Springfield, I would have stayed and chatted all day with the staff. (Ha!) Second, the car I rented (a Hyundai Sonata) was in pristine condition and had amazing features, a USB jack and XM Radio access to boot! Third, the price was right! For a day ($ 56) plus insurance ($ 16) (minus taxes), it was $ 72! I did the 100-​mile plan in which I had to pay an extra 23 cents for each mile over 100. I paid an extra $ 13 bucks, which was negligible.
They also discussed how they have a shuttle that runs from Sharon to Wassaic’s MetroNorth train station on weekdays until about 4 p.m. and if you drop your car off at Wassaic afterwards (for an additional $ 30 fee), they will pick it up later! Compared to paying NYC car rental prices, that’s a really attractive offer.
I’m so pleased with this car rental service and can’t say enough good things about it!
