Lift Four Garage: independent auto repair
Independent auto repair in Harrow Mills, CT. Four lifts, prices up front, a text before any extra work.
We text you a photo and a price before we touch anything you didn't ask for.
Book by your car. It takes about a minute. Book a slot Already dropped off? Track your car. Track itWhat's that noise?
Pick what you hear or feel. We'll tell you, in plain English, what it usually turns out to be.
A starting point to help you describe it, not a diagnosis. We'll still look at the car.
Pick a sound to see what it usually is.
Eight of the things drivers ring us about most, each with the likely causes, how soon to get it looked at, and what a check costs (sample prices).
What we fix
Everyday work on everyday cars: oil changes, brakes, check-engine lights, tires and pre-purchase inspections. Most cars, most makes, no appointment too small.
Four lifts in the shop, so a car that comes in for brakes doesn't wait behind a car that's waiting on a part.

Sample prices
We text a photo of the worn part before we replace it.
You see what we see. Say yes, say no, or ask us to call. Nothing extra goes on the bill without your OK.
Your old parts ride home on the passenger seat.
In a box, if you want them. Most people don't, but it's good to know you can.
Cars ready when we said, or a text saying why not.
If a part is late, you hear it from us first, with a new time, not when you show up at five.

Sample reviews, written for this concept. Not real customers.
Dana R.
2016 Subaru Outback, brakes
“They sent me a photo of my pads next to a new one before doing anything. First time I've understood a brake job.”
“Booked on my phone in the parking lot, picked my model from a list, got a slot the next morning. The tracker said ready at 1:40 and it was.”
“The noise turned out to be a heat shield, not the transmission I was dreading. Charged me for the check and that was it.”
“Pre-purchase inspection saved me from a car with a cracked subframe. Photos of everything, explained like I'm not a mechanic.”
