About Car Repair New Britain
Family owned and operated at 1108 East Street since 1994 — honest, ASE-certified car care for New Britain and central Connecticut.
Thirty Years on East Street
Car Repair New Britain opened in 1994 with a simple mission: give our neighbors honest, ASE-certified car care at a fair price. Three decades later, we're still on the same corner of East Street doing the same work.
We're not a chain. We're not a dealership. We're a family-owned shop that grew from word-of-mouth in the New Britain neighborhoods: Stanley Quarter Park, CCSU, downtown, and the surrounding side streets. When a Newington commuter picks up a nail on the Newington Ave corridor, or a Plainville family needs a set of tires before winter, this is where they come.
Our commitment to MAP standards (Motorist Assurance Program) means we only recommend the work your car actually needs. Our 30-Day Tire Price Guarantee means you don't have to shop around after visiting us. And our free multi-point Performance Review with every oil change means we spot small issues before they become expensive ones.
What "Honest Service" Actually Means
MAP-Standard Recommendations
We follow the Motorist Assurance Program code: replace only what actually needs replacing, and tell you the truth when a repair can wait.
ASE-Certified Technicians
Every tech is ASE-certified. That means real training, ongoing education, and accountability for the work we do.
Neighbors, Not Customers
Many of our customers have been coming here for a decade or more. We treat every car — and every driver — like family.

ASE-certified. Local. Honest.
