Integrity. Mike provided a competitive estimate and then once the team took everything apart, realized the damage wasn't as bad as it could've been and charged us less than their quote. An honest and top-notch experience. Would go back without hesitation. read more

Plugged my tire late on a Friday afternoon and saved the day again. Thanks Mike! Always friendly and helpful.

I recently moved to Framingham and was looking for an honest, reputable place to take care of maintenance and service for my 2017 Acura RDX. I read great reviews on Yelp, and made my appointment with Absolute Car Care. Dropped my car off this morning - told them what service the car was telling me it needed, and waited to hear from them. A few hours later, Mike called to tell me the car was ready. I went to pick it up, fully expecting them to tell me I needed this or that service for a few thousand dollars. But that didn't happen! The nice man told me what they had done, and even told me about one thing that would have been part of the service, but that my car didn't need! This was a really pleasant experience. I expected to be overcharged, but this scheduled maintenance was $174.00. I will absolutely return to Absolute Car Care. read more

I am very grateful to Absolute Car Care. I am a non-local who recently had a car issue while passing nearby on I-90. I called my own mechanic from the road -- based on the noises, he told me I needed to stop immediately to get the car checked out. I don't know the area, so it was pretty overwhelming, but I found Absolute Car Care, and they took great care of me. They were kind, attentive, and thorough, and they made 100% sure I was safe before I continued my drive. It was a truly rare customer service experience -- one that left me feeling not only reassured, but also cared for. So grateful. Highly recommend. read more

Mike and the crew saved my 17 year old Outback from the scrapheap. The car was in good condition until it started missing. So I took it to the local dealer, who gave it a quick once-over and told me they could fix it for $9000+, but really, it's an old car and they wouldn't put good money into it. (Implication: "Buy a new Outback instead.") I said thanks but no thanks, and looked for the repair shop in F'ham with the best repute. Found Absolute, who fixed the car for less than a tenth of the dealer's "estimate." It runs like a charm again. Thanks, Mike. I truly appreciate it. read more

Extremely competent and equally honest auto repair shops. They do big jobs - head gaskets, transmissions and engines, and small jobs like tire, brakes and oil changes. All makes. read more

Absolute car care is the best. I have been taking my car there for many years. They are always honest, they don't make you do repairs that are not necessary and they have good suggestions. They also take care of my companies fleet of vehicles. We have enjoyed their service, communication and efficiency for those vehicles read more

I am so happy right now. I wanted Michelin tires for my livery car going into winter, and had a quote from a high-end tire and wheel outlet in Natick ~$1000. Too much! So I went online to Tire Rack and had them delivered to Mike at ACC, who quoted $100 to install. Just picked up my car, the tires are awesome, they followed my instructions to the letter, and I just want to tell everybody about it! Love those guys, read more

UNPROFESSIONAL AND FAR FROM PUNCTUAL! Went for an oil change, supporting local businesses during COVID-19 seeing I'm a local business as well Called ahead 24 hours for a 9am appointment. I dropped it off and they told me my car would be ready in 3-4 hours....FOR AN OIL CHANGE WITH APPOINTMENT The owner asked me to not sit inside the lobby due to social distancing. I only own one car and it's Corona Virus Season and only had two options- sit at a park for 3-4 hours or a coffee shop- which you can't sit inside, also because of social distancing. Did this for an hour and then went and checked in with the lobby if they've taken my car in The owner is veryyyyyy unprofessional telling me they haven't started it and it'll probably be another hour, while looking down at his phone the whole entire time. I told him that'd not gonna work for me seeing I thought I had a 9 am appointment. He Yelled to the mechanic to get my car the hell out of his garage and to drive it to the end of the lot so I could walk and pick it up. Insinuating I wasn't worthy of his Mickey Mouse operation he has running. I'm not sure why this is a 5 star shop because the owner treats the customers like they're below him. Very uninviting atmosphere read more

There are very few businesses in this world that consistently deliver an A+ product. Absolute Car Care is one of them. There will always be the disgruntled customer (Brittany) who's experience was unrealistic and is probably someone who always looks for the negative in any opportunity they can find. I have my own business... So I know what I'm talking about. Furthermore... When every other review is a five star raving one - it begs the question... What the hell is wrong with that person!! Ignore them. I have been doing business with Absolute Car Care for well over 10 years. Every single visit has been perfect in repairs, experience, and price. If it wasn't... I never would recommend them to my friends and family. They have use them... continue to use them... And have, furthermore recommended them to others. That sounds like an A+ kind of business to me. So when you look at all the reviews for Absolute Car Care... Ignore the crazy people like Brittany and look at all the five star reviews. And ask yourself - who should you be taking advice from. read more

Our long-time mechanic, whom we loved, recently retired. So we needed to find someone new in our area. Framingamham Family Network posters highly recommended Absolute Auto care, so we gave them a shot. LOVE THEM! Super nice, honest, and thorough. They don't try to up-sell you or scare you into doing work that isn't needed. Quite the opposite, which was a welcome relief. So happy to have found another excellent and ethical mechanic. Highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Absolute Car Care for more than 10 years. They take care of my car and my wife's Mike and John only do what has to be done on your car, and tell you what has to be done the next time you come in. They are honest and reliable. read more

Mike, John, Joan and the Sam were the bestest! We're able to get my brakes repaired/replaced and new tires with minimal fuss. Great service from good people! read more

Absolute Car Care!! Mike, John and the entire team at Absolute CC are true professionals, extremely good at what they do and plain and simple.. Good, Honest People. Sadly, and just my opinion, Not Many Of These Folks Left!! I've been coming to Absolute for a couple of years now and each time/experience has been a good one. Always leaving with mind at ease and feeling well taken care of. I recently purchased a new vehicle and while at the Dealership for some warranty maintenance, they told me I needed rear brakes and that I should get the work done as soon as possible. With the car only being a year old, I felt uncomfortable with giving them the green light to do the job. I called and made an appointment with Mike at Absolute and he told me he would order the parts just in case they were needed. Long story short, Mike called shortly after dropping my car off and said my brakes looked great and still had plenty of life left on the factory brake pads. No Brake Job Needed!! I highly recommend these guys for any and all of your vehicle service needs. Absolute Car Care 5 Stars read more

Absolute Car Care is amazing, and Mike and John are quick, reliable, trustworthy, and honest. They will tell you when you do and don't need service. I brought my car in thinking I needed some work done, based on conversations with the dealership and lo and behold, Mike not only told me it didn't need to be done anytime soon, which saved me money, but also showed me and explained why. I highly recommend them. read more

I was buying a used car and needed a reputable mechanic to go through it. They took over an hour to check all systems, remove the wheels, road test, put it on the lift and diagnose issues. I went back to the dealer with roughly $2000 worth of repairs that were needed. The dealer agreed and is fixing the majority of what Absolute suggested. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Framingham area. read more

I would recommend this place to anyone! I have had my back and front brakes fixed here along with a few other things and have been very impressed with the service. They are very good at explaining what is absolutely necessary to have done and what you can wait on. They are also very quick and communicate very well. Thank you! read more

I really liked the people at first but quickly realised that they don't know what they are doing. I had to bring the vehicle back every time and tell them whats wrong. Mis diagnosis cost 1000$ on cooling system. Was head gasket not water pump. They refused me service after I complained. Not going back. David Goodrch wrote this Mike! read more

Mike Forman and Absolute Car Care have taken care of both of our vehicles for various services, and there really isn't any question -- the service is grade A top shelf. They go above and beyond. Every experience has been professional, thoughtful, courteous, efficient, honest, and fair. Even while waiting for the cars to be ready and overhearing conversations with other customers, you can tell they are extremely happy with this company, and that he takes care of his customers and his guys. I have belonged to Yelp for almost 10 years and never written a review -- I break that record today for ACC, which is a gold standard mechanic shop as far as I'm concerned. read more

Looked at my Corvette next day and provided a diagnosis in a friendly and professional manner. Despite not having the specialty tools to fix my problem, they were still friendly and extremely helpful. Will definitely be back. read more

Absolute car care would get 6 stars if that was an option! They have brilliantly installed an automatic "frunk opener I wanted installed on my personal EV and have worked over the years on my business' truck fleet. Thank you thank you thank you! Absolute car care is a top notch operation! read more

We stopped in with an overheated car, and were seen on the spot, and treated like royalty. Thank you for such kind and excellent service.

These guys are so good at what they do, and so trustworthy you almost don't want to tell anyone and find out they are becoming too popular! Yes, they are that good! Recommended by many friends to try Absolute, and they have serviced two vehicles including a great deal on four new tires! Very competitive prices for honest work is a true find. I have hung around to wait for a repair and watched the way everyone treats the customer. I thought I had travelled back in time to when people actually treated a customer with respect. read more

Amazing car repair shop! Mike was extremely helpful in knowing what was wrong with my car and fixed it within two hours, no time wasted! Their prices are great and the service is wonderful. I will be going to Absolute from now on! :) read more

Such a great experience. Honest and trustworthy, Mike reviewed a list of reccomedations from another service center that was trying to up sell me, and add on unnecessary repairs. Thanks to the absolute team! read more

I was told I needed to have a part replaced that cost $600.00, good thing I got a second opinion!  I recently had my front and rear brakes replaced on my Volkswagen Jetta. I noticed something was different about the brake pedal when I got the car back.  I took the car back to Absolute Car Care to have it looked at. The owner, Mike Forman informed me that I needed to have the brake master cylinder replaced and that it would cost $600.00.  I then took the car to the Volkswagen Dealership for a second opinion. I was told I did not need to have the brake master cylinder replaced, to have this replaced is so uncommon. The reason the brake pedal felt different is because Absolute Car Care did not use VW brake pads. Wow, good thing I did not listen to Mike Forman, I would have wasted $600.00! read more

I've been going to Absolute for a number of years to service my '65 and 2007 Impalas and my girlfriend's '03 Camry. They are fair and honest, charges are competitive with the local economy and they get it done right the first time. They'll also defer jobs that are beyond their scope to other local businesses. Mike Forman and his team are an asset to the local business community in Framingham. I will have no qualms having my future cars serviced by this team; they stay current with the technology and are a pleasure to deal with. Dan read more

Really great service! Mike is excellent. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, good work, and reasonably priced!

Absolute car care is by far the most honest fair shop around. I bought a new Lexus suv nowhere near my house because I knew I would use Absolute for anything that I needed. They are simply the BEST read more

Yes... as good as it gets! Mike and his team are great. I've been bringing my vehicles to Absolute for nearly 15 years. I wouldn't consider using anyone else. read more

We found Absolute Car Care through yelp and have used them twice in the past few months. Once for a brake job (rotor/pads) / oil change / estimates for other repairs (for a '97 Santa Fe) and again for tire mount/balance and alignment for an '13 RX350. Both times we were treated with respect, the job was done as promised, and the prices are reasonable. Mike is a stand-up guy that is honest and does not make up repairs or push for unnecessary things. He will explain what he will do beforehand and does the job the right way. We will recommend Absolute Car Care to all our friends and family. read more

I had a check engine light illuminated in my car, and the other inspection station said "failed for emissions". I found this to be highly unlikely, so I took it to the shop down the street from my house, Absolute Car Care. The man I spoke with told me he would look at my car (2001 Outback), and call me before he did any work, and I said I didn't need the car for a couple days. I never received a call, but I did find that ACC determined my problem (automatic transmission fluid leak, a far cry from emissions failure), and it cost me just over $200. I was hoping for under $1k for this repair, so $200 was very surprising to me. The guys at ACC were attentive, spoke English natively (important to me, for communication purposes), and very polite. They never talked down to me, as many other automotive shops seem to do. My only issue is that they did not call me before performing the work, as I requested. However, the work ended up costing significantly less than I expected it to cost, so I was happy. I'll be returning to ACC in the future for automotive work, as I believe these guys will give me an honest answer for what needs to be done to my car. read more

You won't find more honest people in the world than at absolute car care. I've been going there for about 3 years now. I'm in sales and drive a lot for work, bit my office time is very important and the team at absolute picks up and drops off my SUV so I don't lose time at work. They also saved me well over $1000 for a repair that didn't need to happen during inspection. Highly recommend. read more

As someone who doesn't know a lot about cars when I moved to this area I was very nervous to find a new shop to bring our cars. My husband and I both asked around and a few different people told us about ACC. We are so grateful they did! You really feel like you're getting the sage advice of a loyal friend rather than the run around many other shops give you. I have one of those VW Diesel's involved in the recall, and it has some very annoying electrical problems. Mike took about 20 minutes of what was I am sure a busy day to give me a ton of information, advice and help me come up with a plan. When I told my husband later that night he said, "Those guys are the best!" and he's right, they really are! If you're new to the area bring your car here, you'll be glad you did! read more

Great experience. Fast service, honest feedback, reasonable pricing. Very happy with my first experience with Absolute!

Very expensive, They over charged for rotation and brake caliper part. labor rate is high but quality work, they also try to do more work than needed. read more

Absolute Car Care is as good as it gets. I have know Mike Forman and John Lincoln for over 10 years and bring my car there for service. I drive alot for work, so my vehicle is very important to me. They have the best equipment to correctly diagnose different problems and best of all, they are very honest people and have fair pricing. I will and have referred many people to them including my family and friends. read more

I rely on Mike Forman to keep our cars running. Both have more than 125,000 miles and are doing just great. Absolute Car Care makes sure their mechanics keep up on the latest computer analysis and training. You can count on them. Mary Heath read more

This place is exceptional. They picked my car up for me and dropped it back off at my house so I wouldn't have to arrange for special transport. The check engine light was on (a persistent problem I've had with my Nissan over the years) and upon inspection they found nothing wrong with the vehicle so they shut the light off and didn't charge me anything. Now I have brought the car to the dealership in the past with this exact same scenario and have been charged $100 for them just to take a look at it, even when they found nothing wrong. And that was with me having to take time off of work and sit and wait while the place examined the vehicle. Clearly Absolute Car Care wins! I've had other minor work done at Absolute as well and they have always been very kind, honest and affordable. I only wish I had started coming here sooner. What awesome, trustworthy people - exemplary customer service!! read more

Absolute car care truly lives up to its name. Even when I go in for a simple oil and filter change my car is in excellent hands. They notice my headLight was out and replaced it. They explained that two of my tires should be replaced before winter. They really look over the car and check everything out so you feel like you know what you are driving is safe and not going to break down on you. I also like that they don't try to sell you on things you don't need. They are always very timely and very friendly. I love that they have cars to loan if you need one. It's great to have a local place that is so trustworthy, does great quality work, and efficient. read more
