We asked for the best and most reliable auto mechanic in Oxford. We got our answer.

Trust goes a long way when it comes to auto repairs. Earlier this week we asked for the best and most trustworthy auto mechanic in Oxford. The poll results – and reviews – are in: of Oxford is the winner.  

The business received 62 percent of the 70 votes cast, and also received accolades from readers.

Jim Murphy and Mike Hynds have been operating their auto business on Oxford Road since 1995. The company is a small tire and brake repair shop that offers front end repairs, shocks, struts, exhaust and more. 

The company received several complimentary comments from readers, which can be seen .

Oxford Patch account holder Robert Williams said

"I have been taking my cars to New England back when they were down near the Haynes quarry. They are the best for tires, brakes and basic services; Jim and Mike are the best. ...For any hardcore stuff I use Fitzgerald's in Beacon Falls. Dominic and Roy are top notch, they really know the hardcore side of cars."

And someone whose account is listed as MyGoodPeople gave a shout out to , is an "awesome company."

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically toRead More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!

Archie, Your wrong. Constitutions were written for a reason not to determine whether it's a livingRead More document or not. Politicians and or Anti-Americans only believe that the constitutions are a dead document. They are excuses to put forth an agenda. Without Constitutions this country would be chaos and we wouldn't have the freedoms we have today. Only in your eye's does the words not apply because you think government can prevent and do anything they want. It's the people that rule, NOT THE POLITICIANS!

That is looking at the Constitution as a dead piece of paper instead of a living document. LivingRead More Constitutions read as if they were written yesterday not over 250 years ago. Is the Constitution living or dead. When common sense and ordinary circumstances show that the words of the Constitution no longer apply then the document is dead. That is what occurs when weapons/arms have become so powerful and dangerous that having them available in the numbers you have in this country is tantamount to ultimate murder and chaos. This is definitely not what the Framers had in mind as shown by the words prefacing the 2nd amendment referring to a militia.
