Decades of Experience

Quality Auto Services in Connecticut

Naugatuck River Motors was opened when owner, James Welcome, decided to turn his passion for classic cars into a profession. For years James had been purchasing and restoring classic cars, but he knew he wanted to do more. That’s when he decided to open Naugatuck River Motors, a classic and pre-owned car dealership, specializing in classic car restoration, undercoating, auto maintenance, and more! Since opening in the summer of 2015, James and his team have worked on thousands of vehicles throughout the state of Connecticut. Have questions? We’ve got answers!

When picking the right auto garage there are some things you should know first. For example, who is conducting the repairs on your vehicle. Leaving your vehicle repairs up to chance will cost you. At Naugatuck River Motors, we encourage you to ask questions as part of our transparency commitment. We won’t do anything to your vehicle without your approval and will clearly highlight what needs to be done.

Your vehicle needs regular maintenance to ensure it is running efficiently and safely. But an expensive auto repair and maintenance shop will charge you hundreds, if not thousands for small repairs that could have been prevented. Choosing a quality mechanic with experience and knowledge on the make and model of your vehicle will ensure you get the most affordable outcome possible. Diagnosing your vehicle’s issues takes time and an open approach to where issues may arise. Don’t let your vehicle fall into the hands of a mechanic that sees you just as a ploy.

    Covid-19

    Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Naugatuck River Motors has taken an exhaustive approach in protecting our clients. With regular cleanings, social distancing, and enforcing state guidelines we've helped prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. Although facing challenges with reduced in-person meetings and face to face contacts, we've established multiple contact-free solutions to drop your vehicle off for repair or undercoating services. Just another way we prioritize our clients.

    Garage Renovations

    Improving the way we conduct our services starts with a few updates in-house. Our Waterbury, Connecticut garage has been under exhaustive renovations and updates including painting, new light fixtures, new signage, and new equipment. Our belief has always been that our appearance represents our services, so neglecting it will reflect poorly on our auto skills.
