Auto repair, used cars & emissions for Meriden, CT
L & S Automotive gives Meriden drivers a practical starting point for repairs, a different vehicle, or an upcoming emissions test. Our family-owned business operates from one facility in Plantsville.
Three reasons to get to know L & S.
Auto repair & maintenance
If braking feels different or you hear a new noise, describe the change to service. Brake work depends on inspection of the actual components; a symptom alone does not establish which parts should be replaced.
Explore repair services →Quality used cars
Use current inventory to find candidates, then discuss the details with sales. Ask which vehicle information is available and what you should review before deciding whether a particular used car fits your needs.
Plan your used-car visit →Connecticut emissions
If your test is coming up, check the official due-date record first. Call us before leaving Meriden to confirm that day's testing availability and any vehicle-specific questions.
View testing information →Start with the concern, not a parts list
For a repair call, explain what changed and when it began. Let the evaluation establish the scope. If braking effectiveness is reduced or another serious safety concern is present, seek guidance before attempting the trip.

Planning your Meriden visit
Can I get an exact brake estimate from a noise description?
A noise description helps plan the evaluation, but it does not show component condition or establish the complete scope. Pricing depends on the vehicle, inspection findings, parts, and labor. Ask service how the estimate will be prepared.
Where do I go for repair, sales, or emissions?
All three are accessed at our Plantsville facility, 1157 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike. Repair appointments require confirmation; emissions testing is advertised without an appointment, but call ahead for current lane availability. Contact sales to confirm a vehicle before a shopping visit.
