Jimmy is great! My car was making a non-stop high whistling sound and while a car dealership…read moremisdiagnosed and repaired the wrong parts of the car, Jimmy was able to identify the problem as soon as I explained the situation to him. Jimmy gave me a breakdown of the repair (replacing brake pads and rotors) and cost, as well as the reasoning for the cost before getting approved to start on the work. I really appreciate that clear communication, so that I'm on the same page. After the car was repaired, Jimmy followed up to check on how the car was doing, in case there were any additional issues to be addressed. I highly recommend coming here if you want honest and professional work on your car!

Paid for work that was never done -- a rear brake job and brake fluid flush. Imagine my surprise…read morewhen I go see another mechanic closer to where I live, who tells me that my brake fluid is very dirty and that I need my rear brakes done soon! When I reach out to Jimmy, receipt in hand to refer to, he claims that because it was just over a year ago there's nothing he can do about it. My mistake was paying them cash and not by card to file a dispute. Will never make that mistake again. Jimmy never apologized and never took accountability-- that's the part that took me aback b/c I honestly felt like Jimmy was a nice guy and seemed honest. Not sure who's to blame but I don't appreciate shelling out $300 only to find out none of the work was done and no apology. I do believe that they are overwhelmed with the amount of cars that come in everyday and the guys are possibly overworked. Still doesn't excuse what happened! So glad I never came here raving about them.. give it time and I'm sure they'll be forgetting about your car too.

There is nothing for the inspection report and the car interior was not well-cleaned, mats and seats were not vacuumed or anything at all.

They were very accommodating and willing to drop me off at work after I gave them my car. I asked to change the wiper blades (for a little extra money, not much more than buying it at any autopart store) which was done satisfactorily. I didn't have a single problem with the service, and the owner was very nice (although quite busy). I'll probably come back for service in the future.

If you're looking for a cheap and dirty repair place, this isn't it. They are going to charge you a fair price to get the job done right. The inside waiting area has a lot to be desired.

I care more about someone being trustworthy, polite, and at least somewhat competent. As well as saving my money and not getting ripped off like I have been when I got my car repaired at dealerships. My car wheels started making weird noises after I got into an accident and needed to make a cross-country move. Fran identified the issue and fixed it. He was also willing to honestly educate me and explain the issue without acting like a shady businessman that lies by omission. My car has not had issues for the past several months thanks to Fran's diagnosis and the work of his employees. This review would've been a five star if I didn't have to deal with his son on the phone. His son called my cell phone number multiple times to tell me that my car was fixed and hung up immediately before I could ask questions to verify. I traveled twice only to find out that the son mistook someone else's car for mine just because it was the same make and color as mine. Fran recalled which car was my car because he could tell me what state my license plate was from. Thankfully Boston is easy to traverse thanks to the public transportation, otherwise I'd be even angrier for having my energy wasted for a car that wasn't even mine.

Of course I was told to get one a week or so before but did I listen? No. I was that asshole that waited until it was snowing sideways and my car was soaking wet to get it done (I'm so so sorry again). After striking out at Dorchester Tire down the street with them telling me they had seven alignments ahead of me (looks like I wasn't the only snow time asshole), I was driving home downtrodden and less hopeful than when I began, when I looked to the side while at a red light and saw this place. Spur of the moment, I whipped into the parking lot. Not only were they cheaper than Dorchester Tire, the guys were nicer (Jerry I think the first guys name was), and my Jeep was up in the air within 10 minutes of me explaining I had no idea what I was doing. As soon as they identified that it would be a little bit more than they had originally quoted, they brought me into the garage and under my car to try to show me why they were doing what they were doing. Definitely coming back here if I need to, but I don't ever hope to have to for a while!

I also had Tony give the car a full inspection to see if there was other work to be done to keep the car running properly. Tony fixed the starter issue quickly, let me know what he was going to do before actually performing the work, and let me know exactly how much it was going to cost. He also advised me NOT to perform some work I was thinking about, and suggested I wait to do some of the repairs that I was thinking about. Tony is now my go to Volvo guy.

My husband and I have gone to Tony for over 20 years and in all that time he has been totally professional, honest, and fairly-priced--all the things you'd want in a great car mechanic. Shout-out, also, to his wife, Myriam, who makes visiting the shop a total pleasure.
