If there ever was a saying that rang true of automobiles it's "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The owner of Newington Auto Care, Inc., John Gum, is a firm believer in that adage and knows that the air conditioning and heating checks, trip checks, used car checks and all-round automotive care and repair that his clients want prove the truth of it.

We all know it can be miserable driving around this area in the summer, if your air conditioning isn't working the way it should or in the winter when your heater quits. Newington Auto Care can make sure that both are functioning up to full capacity and fix them if they aren't. The staff have all the latest equipment to make this possible, including the new machinery to test for contaminants and toxicants in your car's air conditioning or heating units.

They can also make those important trip checks for you. Newington Auto will give your car a thorough check-up before you take your family on your big summer vacation. That way you know the car is safe and road-ready. After all, who wants their vacation ruined by car trouble?

If you're thinking of buying a used car, be sure to see Newington Auto first. It has a fine reputation for used car checks. The staff knows just what to look for and all the tricks of the trade, such as running a magnet across the body of the car to detect hidden damage repair. When Newington Auto Care does a used car check, you get two written estimates: one for maintenance items the car needs and one for safety items.

"People tell us that we have saved them from making a used car mistake," says John Gum. "One fellow said he had no idea that the car he was planning to buy had been wrecked in the past and patched-up to look new. Others say they were relieved when we told them the car was in excellent condition."

If it is a cure you are looking for, Newington Auto Care is the expert in that field, as well. John Gum has been in the automotive service business for 20 years and knows just about everything there is to know about cars and drivers. And that knowledge benefits you in the expert way he treats your automobile and in the courteous way he treats his valued customers.

"Customer service makes all the difference," he says. "We try to go the extra mile for people. For instance, we offer written estimates on everything, and we stand behind all of our work."


Experts Harold, Reilly and John (left to right) are on duty to help with all your automotive needs.

This no nonsense approach to customer service shows itself in several ways. Newington Auto has an excellent "no hassle" warranty. "I really do believe the customer is always right," John Gum says with a smile. " I don't argue with people. If someone is not happy with the work, we will fix


"I really do believe the customer is always right," says John Gum.

it. No questions - no hassle." This attitude pays off tenfold. Word has gotten around that this is a place where you get fair treatment.

Newington Auto services all makes and models of cars. "I guess we get about a half and half mix here of domestic and foreign cars," adds John, which keeps his mechanics experienced in working on them all. Newington Auto has three service bays, three mechanics on duty and a 2,800 square foot modern facility, plus all the extras that make this business stand out from the rest. All John's technicians are Automotive Service Excellence certified, and he has a pick-up and delivery service, after-hour night drops and security cameras that operate around the clock to make it safe for you to leave your car overnight.

The repairs run the gamut of A to Z. You name it: brakes, front-ends, heaters, air conditioners, exhausts, tune-ups and complete diagnostic work, and Newington Auto does it. If there is something you need that can't be done on the premises, John will subcontract the work out to other trusted experts and notify you, of course, while offering the same, complete "no hassle" warranty.

Other experts on duty to help you with your automotive needs at Newington include technicians Reilly Weeks and Harold Thomas.

For instance, an oil change is just $14.95 (with Pennzoil oil), which is the every day price, not a special. In addition, monthly specials are offered on a rotating basis.
