At Fairfield County Motorsport we have some specific philosophies regarding how a car should be prepared for its intended usage. Whether your vehicle is basic transportation, a luxury car, or a sports car it should be maintained to the manufacturers standards or higher. That means using the correct fluids, high quality replacement parts, and the correct diagnostic tools.
A vehicle with more sporting intent, unmodified, lightly modified or highly modified requires more intensive maintenance. The same goes for a vintage car whether it has been restored or not.

I was introduced to Don and Jim sometime back by the owner of the shop I normally have my Porsche serviced. The shop owner retired a while back and the techs that work on my Porsche are younger than the car. I spent four years and $20K getting oil leaks fixed and payed for the same repairs more than once. After getting the car back I was still using oil.
I pulled the spark plugs and saw hat cylinder no. 1 was burning oil. Knowing that Don and Jim know my thirty-six year old Porsche inside and out. They performed the correct tests and gave me an estimate for repair. Unfortunately I don't have enough money in my budget put away to pay for the repair at this time. I decided to bring the car home for now and will have the repair made by them next year when I have the budget.

We wouldn't take our 1972 VW Karmann Ghia convertible anywhere else. They first reconditioned and fixed the engine, electrical and exhaust systems. Replaced a clutch. And so much more. The car has never run better since we bought it in 2000. Then they replaced the dash, refurbished the seats and had the interior carpets replaced. The car is gorgeous and runs like it did off the showroom floor in '72.
The pros here are very thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable. They problem solve and tend to the car like it belongs to them. Which means they make practical suggestions and are careful with your money. We are extremely pleased with the shop and would never take the car anyplace else.

Since acquiring my '09 BMW 335i Don and his crew have been super informative and attentive to everything from initial assessment of the car to brakes and mechanical issues I've had. They also service my wife's Porsche Cayenne and know the brand inside out. Feel confident - without qualification - in their skills and acumen to do your job right.

I had the starter and spark plugs replaced and a few other minor issues looked at. The vehicle is a high end vehicle with a v12, some consider it a super car. not every mechanic shop can work on it. Fairfield County had no problem and knew exactly what to do. quick turnaround time and fair price. very pleased Service: Engine repair

Good service and done very clean and Professional. I had a couple issues which are not fixed and have been charged which was a little disappointing. Assessment fees are easily a couple hundred usd which I think is little over the top. However happy with the work and outcome. Service: General repairs & maintenance

I have been a customer for 5 years and have never been disappointed. There's no way I will return to a Penske dealership service center after receiving 100% satisfaction from the team at Fairfield County Motorsport. I refer my family and friend there without hesitation. Services: Oil change, Brakes, General repairs & maintenance, Tires, Auto engine diagnostic, Air & cabin filter replacement
