LOCAL PSA: MR. GRUMPY BRITCHES STRIKES AGAIN!…read more Well, folks, this is my SECOND visit to this garage based on word of mouth. Funny thing is, there are only 14 reviews. With service like this, I guess word of mouth is doing some heavy lifting! Welcome to my experience with Grumpy's Automotive Center, DBA Lowell Automotive Center. Back in February, they installed generic clamps on a hose, which I believe were overtightened. Several months later, the T-fitting cracked right where that clamp was installed. Coincidence? Maybe. But I believe the original workmanship deserves a serious look. I asked them to address the problem. Instead, the car was returned without the issue being resolved because, apparently, I hadn't explained it clearly enough. Enter Scott, aka Mr. Grumpy Britches. Scott repeatedly interrupted me with, "I can't tell you anything without the car here." SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK! Then I called to explain the issue again, only to be interrupted and told, "Well, I just walked in the door at 8." Seriously? If you open at 8, shouldn't you be ready to deal with customers at 8? Just a thought! Now comes the kicker: I was expected to pay to repair a problem I believe was related to their previous work. When I returned to discuss it, the conversation became argumentative, ending with, "We'll just talk face to face." Excuse me? What exactly is THAT supposed to mean? Maybe it was innocent, but it's a lousy way to handle a customer trying to resolve a dispute. I've always found Steve to be a nice guy, but my experience with Scott has seriously changed my opinion of this business. THE UPDATE, FOLKS! We picked up the car, and, SURPRISE, we were charged to repair the part I believe was damaged by the earlier work. Then my wife was challenged about this post and told I'd been given the price beforehand. I WAS NOT GIVEN A PRICE BY SCOTT. That's my recollection, and I'm standing by it. But wait, there's MORE! They also challenged my wife about how much she drives the car. I said she barely drives it, and they apparently disagreed based on the mileage. Let's do some math, Mr. Grumpy Britches! YOU said approximately 5,000 miles in eight months. That's 625 miles per month, or 7,500 miles per year. Sounds like relatively low mileage to me! If mileage explains why a part failed, then explain the mechanical reason. Show the evidence. That's what I'd expect from a professional mechanic. But challenging my wife over my comment about mileage? WHAT DOES THAT ACCOMPLISH? She was there to pick up a car, not participate in an argument over a review. HERE'S MY FREE BUSINESS ADVICE: You don't like the review? EARN A BETTER ONE! You disagree? Explain yourself professionally. Show the customer what happened. Stand behind your work if it's justified, and work toward a reasonable resolution. That's how you build trust, earn repeat business, and generate positive word of mouth. I'm sharing this because our local community deserves to hear about my experience and make its own decisions. MY ADVICE: Read the reviews, ask questions, and get prices and warranty terms in writing before authorizing repairs. As for me? I won't be returning. DO BETTER, GRUMPY BRITCHES. DO BETTER!

Sam is an honest mechanic, which sometimes seems like an oxymoron (especially if you are a woman,…read moresad but true). I have been taking my cars to Sam for years now, and have consistently received honest, reliable service. Sam is very trustworthy and will give you the straight scoop on your vehicle, often proposing an alternative if the scheduled repair is going to be expensive. He is courteous and really cares about treating people right. Want to be treated with respect, not get ripped off, and get your car back within a reasonable time frame? You've come to the right place. Prices are reasonable and there are no gimmicks or dirty tricks. I'd recommend him to anyone, and have referred friends to him many times. If you are a woman who feels she has gotten the runaround because "girls don't know about cars", fret no more. Sam's the real deal and you won't be sorry.

Mini Cooper and RAV4 Work I have had done at Allman's : Brakes, welding, exhaust, tires, electrical, fuel issues, lights, pumps, oil,coolant, and transmission fluid changes and I'm sure there was more I don't remember. They are honest, fair, and competent. These boys know cars and will always help you out. I'd give six stars if I could. They will take photos of damage or issue areas before repair and text it to you before fixing if you require it. They have text reminders and emails to keep you up on your car before during and after repairs. They have after hour key drop off. When you get your oil changes they do a thorough inspection to find all of the issues you may have and rate them in stop light fashion( super helpful for budget planning your repairs) My family would be in bad shape without these guys. I had a recent experience where I brought my car in that could have been repaired (that's how they get paid), they put it up on the lift and said "it's time" knowing I dumped a lot into it in the last year and this repair would require a lot more. They could have said yeah fix it and out goes my cash, but they didn't they were honest and legit. They would have done the repairs no problem if I had asked but they did what they thought was best for me. It was an aging SUV with 170k and things were getting grim underneath. I would not consider going elsewhere. They take my calls and fix my stuff A freaking plus BOOM!

Only towed my vehicle to this place because it was closeby and they said they could look at it the…read moreday of. They didn't even pull it into the garage and charged me $74 to tell me I needed a new Starter Motor. Which was already known. So here's the full story-- Called early morning Wednesday (7:09am), The mechanic that answered looked at the schedule and said he could take a look and to bring it in. It was towed and dropped off at 7:50am. They couldn't get to it (I'm a single mom so had to rent a car to pick up my son from school) They called me the following day Thursday at 12:40pm, telling me they didn't pull it into the garage or run a full diagnostic as I requested, but instead they tried starting it up and that the Starter Motor needs to be replaced. (We figured that much) -- Noticing I will need an oil change soon they added that in, for a total of $880.00 for the repair. I asked for the price without the oil change and she said $728. NEARLY $160 for an oil change is absurd. When I asked about the diagnostic and why I was being charged for a diagnostic when they didnt even give me any information we didnt already know, and they didnt run a full diagnostic, I was faced with an attitude and told "we could have charged you $140 for an hour of diagnostics, but we only charged you for a half-hour". I'm sorry does pushing the start button on a vehicle take 30 minutes? As someone that lives a block away and this is the most convenient place, I STILL wouldn't go back. Even the guys at O'Reilys said they were total rip offs.
