- PSPhil SamsonDec 30, 20255.0Handy’s provided a very quick AAA response to mounting my spare tire after a pothole destroyed one of my tires on a Monday night & they got a new, matching replacement, pair installed within 2.5 hours on Tuesday morning (even fixing my bent rim). And to top it off, their roadside assistance guy, Jonathan, was fantastic, fast, courteous, & very friendly. Handy ‘s business tag line is “We strive for ‘Totally satisfied,’” & they definitely met that level of performance & deserve my gratitude & thanks!
- CCCaleb CastineDec 30, 20255.0Today my young son and I were in Vermont for a medical appointment. On our way to the appointment, my vehicle began to overheat. I had to pull over for about 20 minutes to let it cool down. We made it to the appointment a little late, but we made it. On our way home, the vehicle overheated again. I had to pull over on Rt. 2 on our way back to the ferry. The coolant temp gauge was pegged on the red line and the temp was 260° according to my scan tool. We sat on the side of the road for about 15 minutes when a Handy's tow truck showed up out of nowhere. The driver asked if he could take a look at my vehicle to try to help. I was blown away by the generosity. He said it's 16° out and it's windy. I can't leave someone on the side of the road without at least stopping to help. He looked under the hood and did some manipulation of the hoses for the cooling system. The driver took off after a while and when my car cooled down, I again headed to the ferry. We made it all the way to the ferry and then to the garage in NY without the temperature needle getting above the 3/4 mark. I can't remember the driver's name but he said he was the supervisor and had been doing the job for 35 years. I can't thank him enough for stopping to check on my son and I and for helping get us home safely. Thank you very much! Edit: The tow driver said that even though I had just had a new thermostat installed, it's possible it was a bad unit. Well that's exactly what the garage came back with. Mechanic removed the new thermostat and lo and behold it was stuck closed. Couldn't get it to open. Installed new thermostat and everything is running cool so far. Thanks again to the kind, knowledgeable driver who stopped. I owe you one!
- BJBarbara JorrischDec 21, 20255.0Handy's Service today was awesome. Car didn't start up. Sunday morning! Serviceman showed up in 35 minutes. Professional and curteous. Determined battery was ok. Called for a tow. Thomas showed up in 40 minutes. Thomas made me feel that Handys would take great care of my car and placed me first on Monday morning. Highly recommend Handys !!
