About Megill's Inc
Megill's Inc is an auto repair shop in New Haven, Connecticut. It is listed at 1390 Whalley Ave, New Haven, CT 06515, which places it among the local businesses of New Haven that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
Auto repair in the United States is split between independent shops, dealership service departments and national chains. Independents handle most routine work (oil changes, brakes, tune-ups, check-engine diagnostics) at lower labor rates and often specialize in one make or in imports; dealers keep factory tools, software and warranty authority; chains sell speed and standard pricing on maintenance items. Most shops charge a diagnostic fee, credited toward the repair if you go ahead, and quote parts and labor separately. Certification matters: look for ASE-certified technicians and, in many states, a state repair license posted at the counter. Written estimates are required by law in most states before work begins, and you are entitled to your old parts if you ask.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are Open 24 hours. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (203) 387-2236. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone.
With 3.5 out of 5 on Google from 119 reviews, it sits in the middle of the range for auto repair shops in New Haven. Recent reviews are the best guide.
New Haven is in Connecticut, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and New Haven follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Very sketchy variable tow fees. I was billed for services that were not performed. Then cut a "cash only" deal.. still at an unreasonable value for a 2 mile nonconsensual tow, before I was able to retrieve my personal items (including medical equipment left in the vehicle). In talking with other customers at the location with similar frustrations, it seems the establishment will purposely extend their processing time before releasing the bill to rack up storage expenses. While I understand profit is the goal of any business, the way this nonconsensual tow was handled felt predatory and deeply unethical. Given the increasing scrutiny around towing practices, I would fully cooperate with any future investigation into this companyβs conduct.

Horrible, awful, unprofessional- I really canβt express how terrible this company is. My car was legally parked in my apartment with my parking badge displayed on my back window after being instructed by my apartment complex to put it βin a prominent placeβ, and I have not had any issues in the 2 years Iβve been there (before they used McGills). They towed it anyway because they βcouldnβt see itβ. Mistakes happen, I can completely understand if they missed it since they came in the middle of the night. My gripe is not with the mistaken towing, as they did release it without insisting I pay the fee. However, the attitude of the woman at reception when I came onsite to pick it up was deplorable. She was combative, aggressive, and lacked the very basics of respect. The situation did not require any level of conflict and I even told her that Iβm not here to fight, even after she lied and said the apartment told her stickers should be in the front of the vehicle (which the apartment manager himself verified was not the case) she continued the attitude and disrespect. Not sure who thought it would be a good idea to have her be in a customer facing position, but I would seriously reevalua

Business Complaint β Megillβs Inc. I am submitting this complaint regarding what I believe to be unfair and unreasonable business practices by Megillβs Inc. Both of my motherβs vehicles were towed by two different towing companies and taken to two different locations. Despite the fact that Megillβs tow location was closer to where the vehicle was picked up, Megillβs charged nearly double what the other towing company charged, even though the other company towed the vehicle a farther distance. There was no clear or reasonable explanation provided for this significant price discrepancy. Given the current economic conditions, charging excessive and disproportionate fees for a necessary, non-optional service such as towing raises serious concerns about price gouging. Consumers do not have the ability to shop around or negotiate in these situations, which places a heightened responsibility on towing companies to act fairly and transparently. The situation was further aggravated by the lack of professionalism and empathy shown by Megillβs staff. I explained that my mother had recently passed away, and instead of demonstrating any understanding or willingness to work with me, they attemp

How good can experience be when your car is towed in front of your home. Its a mistake that you made that caused it. Rats, ya know? Well, what do you do but start walking and solve the problem you've created. Typically the amount of road blocks that'll be placed in front of you bye, bye folks behind the counter at a tow company will be numerous. That is not the case at Megills. The folks behind the counter returned the courtesy I gave them and helped me get my van back. Being generally understanding of service employees and their role in the industry will sometimes get you to a solution far easier than yelling will.
