Don Ruddy's Garage

I worked for Don Ruddy's garage for over a year and believe Don to be extremely knowlegable and Honest.I send all my friends there and have never heard a complaint.But I have heard many praises.No bodys perfect but when it comes to cars Don is real close. more

My 82 yr old mother went there for an engine check light warning. Ruddy added radiator fluid which she needed. He then wrote up an estimate for over $800.00 to replace the entire radiator. I (her daughter) took the car to Glens garage in Scotia for an estimate and he replaced and tightened the radiator hose that was loose ( or cracked) and charged me $25.00. Car runs great now!!! It just so happens that when my mom was getting her $800.00 estimate from Ruddys there was another elderly woman in the waiting area getting the same bad news that she also needed an entire new radiator system for over $800.00!! When we questioned the estimate he responded that he hooked it up to the computer, he wouldnt even look at it for us. Lesson, always get a second or third opinion. We did and it saved us $775.00!! Cons: tryed to rip off elderly more

I would highly recommend Don and his son to anyone looking for trustworthy mechanics. We have had several cars worked on there over a period of 10 years and we have always been treated well. They are not going to do things on your car that are not needed just to make another buck. They have given us better prices than anyone else and done thorough and timely work. They have gone above and beyond what other garages would have done for us with difficult, hard-to-diagnos car problems. more

Pros: None, Avoid Cons: Not Trustworthy more
