Winners: Best Auto Shops in Rhode Island

Find out which restaurants Patch readers voted the best in the state to take your vehicle.

From oil changes to body repair to engine breakdowns, we all have occasion to require the service of a car mechanic. But which should you choose?

If you're like most drivers, you know how to operate a car, but know little of the car's operation. How then can you possibly know whether a mechanic is correct and truthful when he tells you what's wrong with your vehicle and how much it's going to cost you to get back on the road?

Patch wanted to help readers find the best, most reliable auto mechanics around. Throughout Rhode Island, Patch polled readers to find out where's the best place to take a car for service. After five days of voting, the winners are in.
