Needed body work after minor accident and these guys were recommended by Modern Tire. John at Car Craft was a pro. Great work, timely manner and excellent customer service. He was awesome with insurance company too! 5 star experience.
Came to Connecticut with no friends or family, I was lucky enough to come across Al. Al reached out his hand to help me get the best deal possible on a car. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
I am so happy I was referred to Car Craft. John is an owner who cares about his customers. He and his staff are meticulous about the work they do. My car had the bumps and dings that have occurred over 5 years of parking and driving . The bumps and scrapes are now gone the detailers proud of their work. John quoted me a price and that was what the work cost. John is customer service oriented. Thank You John
Great place! The guys did a seamless job on a collision repair, and had the job ready 2 days early!! Tops!!
Was told $330 to change 5 wheel studs on my car. Asked them why so expensive? Told it was a 2 hour job at $80 or $100 per hour(forget now which he said), and that he had to put the tire back on???????? Even at $100 per hour that would be $200 for labor. The parts which are easily available at about any car parts store for $20(5 wheel studs at $2 apiece and 5 lug nuts at $2 apiece). Even at $100 per hour and if they doubled the cost of the parts to $40 that would still only be $240. Heres the kicker. I had the car towed to a place where they did the SAME EXACT job for $100, and I was out of there in 45 minutes(with the tire put back on!!). Nuff said about this location.
Had the pleasure of buying a car from here this week, and the experience was awesome. Highly recommend them.From the beginning, the experience and process was excellent. He made every effort to keep things smooth and was a pleasure to deal with. And the car is exactly as advertised, no risk of bait and switch.
5/5 ! I would highly recommend Car Craft. Al and John are good fellas. They are fair and honest, knowledgeable, and have great customer service. I recently purchased my first car a used 2002 Camry in great running condition at a very reasonable price. Al made it his concern to make sure that I was satisfied as a customer and I left Car Craft confident and 100% satisfied.
Bought a car for my daughter from Al at Car Craft. The car was in excellent condition and he went through the car to make sure everything looked perfect because he knew my daughter would be commuting to school. In addition Al was so accommodating as we needed a couple extra days to get everything in order. My daughter is thrilled with her new car. I recommend using car craft. I would purchase a car from them again.
Car Quality: 5 StarsCar Price: 5 StarsStaff: 5 StarsI bought a Honda Civic from Car Craft 5 months ago. It was in good condition, and they were asking for a fair price. I had some scheduling difficulties getting to the dealership to view the car, but Al was patient with me and worked around my schedule. Then, after viewing the car and deciding to buy it, it took me several weeks to get my car loan. Al told me not to worry and to take my time. Once I was finally able to pick up the car there were new tires and brand new windshield wipers on it. Al and the rest of the Car Craft staff were so helpful and kind; I felt at ease working with them. Though I am usually skeptical about car salespeople, I could tell the Car Craft staff was different because they genuinely care about getting you a good car to suit your needs.I dont usually write reviews, but I have been sold a lemon from a different company before. I know how horrible it feels to be tricked and felt like someone stole from you. I would not wish that upon anyone. I feel strongly that Car Craft is an honest business, and they will take good care of each and every one of their customers.
Great place to bring your vehicle! Car looks as good as new! Work was done in a timely manner and I will certainly recommend this shop to my friends and family.
Car craft did an amazing job on my car! Excellent price and work was finished much sooner than I expected! I highly recommend them and will definitely be back if I need any more repairs!
I bought a Honda Civic for my nephew from Car Craft! Al is the man honest, fair and giving all those are hard to find in a car salesman that’s for sure.I will definitely see him again Next time I need a vehicle THANKS Al!
I highly recommend Car Craft! Ive used other auto body shops - and this business is far and above all the rest. They are honest and trustworthy.My car was serviced in a timely fashion. Most importantly - the work done on my car was high quality. Thank you!
Bought a Honda Civic for my daughter from Al at Car Craft. After talking with him for 5 minutes, first thing that came in my head was that I can trust him and his workers. He made sure the car was safe for my daughter. Also I know that him and his staff will take care of any mechanical issues down the road. I recommend Car Craft for anyone looking for a good reliable car. Go see Al.Tom Tolisano
Referred by a friend and I could not have been happier! Excellent customer service, very fair prices, and extremely quick and meticulous work done as requested on my car, which had been hit by a truck a week before. I would definitely come back and recommend to my friends and family in a heartbeat.
Had my car for a few weeks now, I’m really happy with it. It’s in amazing shape, very clean. Al was great and made the process of purchasing the vehicle go smoothly. Would definitely recommend his business to friends!
I actually got turned away by another car repair shop in the area. These guys are great! They did tremendous work and really had a fair price. Really friendly, willing to work with you. They have a big office dog, but dont be fooled by him... hes just as sweet at the guys who work here!
WE LOVE CAR CRAFT! We were so excited when we found my daughters first car there!Al worked with in our budget and she had a reliable car. Two years later (end of 2018) we went back to see Al when somebody totaled my daughters car. He was able to find another car that my daughter loves and we are very happy.My son will be turning 16 before we know it and we will definitely be going back to Car Craft for the third time!
Ive been a customer for many years, and I need to emphasize how impressive the customer care and service is here. John is not only guaranteeing work when done but standing by it even years later! Amazing old fashioned kindness and empathy toward their loyal customers !
I am very pleased with a vehicle I just purchased a week ago. They were very friendly and helpful and I strongly recommend them.Thank you so much Car Craft, you are the best.
After getting quotes from multiple dealerships he gave me a quote for my vehicle damage less than a 3rd of their prices. I set up a date, a he stuck with the same price, and it looks great. I truly appreciate the awesome service and workers. I was skeptical to get quotes on my own being a woman, and given the car is a Benz none of that mattered. I would totally recommend ! ( Posted a before and after to the photo section)
I was going to look at one vechicle close by and walked in to craft auto by accident .. or was it ???I asked for the car I was supposed to be looking at that day. He told me I had the wrong place but that he had a similar car. I say let me see it looked awesome and drove good . He gave me a good price on the vechicle that met my standards great place great deals great cars!! Would recommend to all !!!
Bought a car from Al for my son, was an awesome experience ! After seeing many cars from dealers and private parties it was a breath of fresh air to deal with Car Craft. No hard sell, lots of good advice and they were patient and kind. Al let me take it to my mechanic to get an inspection before purchase and then when a sensor blew a week after purchase, he fixed it at no charge. I highly recommend!
I bought my daughter a Honda Civic from Car Craft. After she had it for over a month the fuel pump wasn’t working right. He fixed it for free. Highly recommended that you go to Car Craft!
Great used cars for fair prices. Great customer service. Bought a 2006 dodge caravan....it was in amazing condition. Made sure it would pass inspection with us being out of state.Went above and beyond for us. Highly recommended them. Worth a call or stopping by.
I recently purchased a Toyota Camry from Al. He was great to deal with and very helpful through the entire process. He even came to my job to drop off the paperwork and took the vehicle through emissions before I picked it up. Great company and great service!
I highly recommend Car Craft! I am new in the US and the people from Car Craft (especially Al) made it very easy to buy the car and to do all the paper work required for registration. Al was very friendly and willing to answer any questions or concerns me and my partner had. He allowed us to take the car to a garage so that we could have it checked by someone else and this way having a second opinion about its condition. At the moment of paperwork, the people from Car Craft told me the documents that I should bring, helped filling out all the forms, and even drove me to the DMV to make the registration.I am very happy with my experience, and absolutely recommend Car Craft!
I was looking around quite a bit and I had a tough time finding anything decent for my sister. Then I found Car Craft. Their cars were cleaner than anything I had seen. Al was really good about meeting me after hours and let me take a long test drive.Three weeks later my sister still loves the car.
I sold me 2001 Toyota Camry to Al about 6yrs ago. Fast forward to now I needed something dependable and went back to Al. Such a smooth process. I got a 2005 Camry with low miles. Al allowed me to test drive car for a good while to make sure it was what I wanted. He than dropped me off home. He wanted to detail and wash the car prior to given it to me. I brought the car on Saturday and had the car delivered to my house on Monday! Would recommend him to everyone and will be back for my next car!!!
Recently went to a carwash and scratched my white X6 really bad and I found this place I carefully read all the reviews and let me tell you they werent lying this place is the best and the price was reasonable and had my car lew 2 years newer. Thank you guys I will recommend everyone I know.
Very honest and friendly guys. We bought our car from AI and he was amazingly kind and did eveything he could to hand it over in great conditions. Fair prices and excellent service!
Took my mom there to get a car. Al was all around a great guy to work with, took very good care of her, treated her like family. Insured she was completely satisfied before letting her buy. His partner was also great, answered any and all questions with no problems. All around great dealership, highly recommend to go there to buy a car.
I recommend car craft for anyone who is looking for a reliable used car. Ask for AL. Takes care of you like family.
I bought my first car from Al recently and it was a great experience. He made the process smooth and he even put all 4 new tires on my car without a charge. I truly recommend their business when you are car searching.
Car Craft has a continual updating inventory due to selling so if you do not see something you love today then definitely come back to see the new stock pretty soon. Al and his employees provide excellent service and are with you the whole car buying experience. I felt as if I was buying from friends, not a salesman. There was no pressure and they listened to my wants to provide a car that is right in the specs I wanted.
I bought a car from Al. He worked hard to make the car operate properly. He did a great job and I was very comfortable with the purchase. I would definitely buy a car from Car Craft again !!!
Al is nice! We sold our two cars to him before we moved out of the country. He even drove us to the DMV to return the license plates and subsequently drove us to the car rental company. We would surely recommend him to our friends and surely buy cars from him when we come back.
This place was fantastic, Al went out of his way to give me the best deal on the car. Changed all four tires, brake pads, and even changed the shocks for free when he heard a noise while driving it. He treats his customers like family; all around best dealership Ive been to.
I bought a car from Al last fall and just went back to Car Craft again to look for a second car for our family. I had a great experience with no pressure - Al was very helpful, easy to work with, and has a great selection of quality cars. Would definitely recommend!
I didnt know Al when I went to buy a car, but he was very professional and honest. I highly recommend him if you need a car. The prices he offer are really reasonable.
Very courteous friendly made me feel welcome and walk out of there with a great car im loving it
Bought a 2002 Camry a few months ago put almost 10k runs great. Guy went out of his way to put 4 new tires on it. Would defiantly recommend anyone looking for a reliable used car to go there.
A few years ago I bought a car from Al. I came back this year to upgrade and trade in my car. He was beyond helpful and honest. If you are looking for a honest and genuine salesman go see Al!
Purchased my car from Al, he was up front, honest about everything and was great on the price, I appreciate that it is a good quality car, reliable and hasnt given me issues at all after one year of ownership!
Found a car for sale on Craigslist that was at Car Craft. I was reluctant to purchase so far from home. Luckily we found Al to be friendly, not pushy. We did fact check him and found that everything he said about car to be true. After we left there was a small issue with the car that he made good on immediately. We would purchase from this business again without hesitation.
Car Craft advertised a car for sale on Craigslist. I called and set up a time to see the car. While I was waiting for, I assume the owner/manager, to walk over to the car where I was standing, another guy who was apparently interested in the car came 5 minutes after I arrived.I popped the hood to look at the motor. Meanwhile the owner had walked into the office with another customer. I walked into the office and asked the owner if he could start the car as I went to get a meter out of my car. When I returned the owner had allowed the other guy to get in the car for a test drive.I told the owner I was there first and should be allowed to test drive it first. He said it didn’t matter. I could drive it afterwards. I asked if that’s how he did business. He said that I was being nitpicky because I asked him if he had any maintenance records. He apparently doesn’t like people to ask questions about a car he’s selling. Then he said the guy offered to pay him his asking price, was I willing to give him the asking price.This guy is a very poor businessman. He gave preference to a man over a women, even though he came after me. It should be first come first serve. If he had someone else interested ahead of time, he should not have set up an appointment with me.Beware....I would never go to or recommend this business to anyone.Stay away from Car Craft
I have two college daughters and this summer they both had jobs a good distance away from home. We ended up buying two Toyota Camrys from Al. The purchase process was low pressure and Al and his guys did a great job of prepping the cars so that they would be ready to go in terms of tires and other things that might nag us.We had decided on Toyota for their reliability and ease of maintenance. Both end up having crazy, one of issues almost right off the bat. Al had told us to call if we had problems so we did. I had honestly thought that this was voice service and that wed be paying for all of these repairs out of pocket or having to press to get them done. Al and his guys took care of both cars issues (both of which he couldnt have foreseen) on his own dime to make sure my girls had reliable cars. I think having kids of his own, he treats his customers as how hed want his kids to be treated in the same situation. Cant recommend him more. Thanks Al and company.
I was unfamiliar with the dealership when I went to look at a car I saw online. Al and his business partner were geat to work with. There was no pressure to buy. Al is friendly and honest. There was a small problem that I noticed with the car and Al took the time to investigate and fix the issue. They were easy to work with and always answered my call. I would highly recommend buying a car from Car Craft.
Very good quality service . Purchase a vehicle from them and they even put 4 brand new tires . Definitely recommend this dealership. Im a very happy customer.
Great friendly service. My car got towed to Car Craft after a bad accident and everyone was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
I am a repeat customer. In my experience Car Craft provides high quality work at fair prices. If you care for your car and you care for the quality of work you get, go to Car Craft off New Britain Ave in West Hartford.
Concerning Dorothy Prockos previous, less-than-stellar Car Craft Review, heres the rest of the story...since we were the other party in question. My husband found this car just after it was posted on CraigsList. He was the first caller (confirmed by Car Craft) and made an appointment to inspect it at 1:00 PM the next day. In addition, he brought the full amount of the asking price in Cash and a set of License Plates along, with the full intention of consummating the deal on the spot, because the car was for our son who was in a pinch...and needed transportation immediately. Due to road construction (which theres plenty of in CT right now), we arrived at 1:15...only to find Dorothy Procko on hand, and inspecting the car. When Al at Car Craft indicated that we were first in line because we called first...the night before...and set an appointment, Dorothy Procko immediately got nasty and belligerent. It seems that she was trying to take advantage of our 15-minute delay, to swoop in and buy the car out from under us. In addition, I find her sexist comment about selling to a man repulsive...because we went up to Car Craft as husband and wife. Congratulations to Al and Car Craft for standing by their commitment and honoring our first call/appointment arrangement! And oh by the way, the reason this seems to be an issue is because it was/is a GOOD CAR...which Car Craft appears to specialize in. In addition, they put a new battery in it before we took it home, changed the oil and inspected the brakes. Highly recommended!!! And thats, the rest of the story...
Stumbled onto CarCraft on FB Marketplace... I live about 40 miles away, and it was well worth the trip! My son bought his first (used car), Al was 100% transparent, great car, fairly priced, overall best purchase experience in 40 years fo buying cars. Amid all the big chains, they are a hidden treasure!
I have bought 3 cars from them !! I love going there !! They are honest and if something needs to be fixed they will fix it before u get the car !! They treat you as family not just another customer !! I would recommend car craft to anyone looking for a vehicle!! Thanks again guys i love my New/used van !!Kimberly Seccharioli
Had to get my rear bumper painted and I was very happy with the service here! Lower price than other shops in the area and service was quick, friendly, and convenient.
Al bought my car for the best offer!! He gave me $1000 more than 3 other offers. I had such a wonderful experience with Al and Car Craft I came back and bought my RAV4. I would recommend Al and Car Craft to anyone to sell or buy a car!
I sold my Nissan Altima here and whole selling formality was quick and hassle free.
Al gave us a great deal and threw in four tires for our daughters first car. Very pleased with Car Craft.
Al is a very nice dealer, he picked my up three to four time for me to look at the car(I didnt have a car at that time). The car runs good so far, definitely will recommend him to my friend.
At Car Craft, you can get a great price and a great service when your car needs a repair.
I consider myself a savvy consumer and shopped around for the best deal on the car I wanted, then I stopped by Carcraft and spoke with Al .He was straight forward with me and was able to get me vehicle I wanted for substantially less than everyone else. As if that wasnt enough, Al went the extra yard and made sure my vehicle was both safe, by checking the brakes, fluids...and detailing it as if it was brand new, Al went above and beyond all expectations, i recommend Carcraft to anyone
Good guys with a good selection of used cars. Bought my girlfriend her first car from here after seeing a few others before hand, definitely had the nicest for a fair price as well
Excellent job!! Iam so happy, Thanks GRACIAS MIL
My mother had an accident with her car so I went with her to car craft we spoke with Al the owner he was very nice and showed us several cars then he told us a Honda Civic was coming in my mother had to watch her grandson so she didnt have time to see the car so Al had one of his employees drive the car over to her house for her to take a look at the car she did buy the car which Al even put 4 brand new tires on the car I could not recommend this place more if you are looking for an honest place to buy used car look no further

Hello, i am spending sometime and writing this review as this may be useful for serious car buyers.I am writing this review two months after purchasing car from Car craft. Al, the owner of car craft is really cool and trustable. While I am searching for a car, most of my friends suggested me to stay away from dealers. But due to time constraint and also couldn’t find good car in Craigslist and other websites, started visiting dealers in and around Hartford.One Saturday, my friend who was also looking for a car joined me. We both visited Car Craft and met Al. He was patient enough to show us all the cars in our price range. Most of the cars were in very good condition and in the price range quoted by Al is very close to KBB value. For most of his cars he has car fax report too.We test drove all the vehicles we liked....trust me ..on that day we bought two cars from him. Since we are taking two cars, he gave us good deal... good discount for each car.I strongly suggest you to visit his shop once, before making your final call on your car deal.Thanks,Shan
These guys are honest! I purchased a vehicle over 4 years ago an I havent had any issues.
Great garage, honest guys, good business. Had a great experience with Car Craft.
Very happy with my purchase 10 stars
Bought a car on Thursday paid too much for it it broke down on saturday
