It's hard for me to believe that this shop has any negative reviews at all, because I couldn't have…read morehad a better experience. I brought my older BMW into Haskins for service and an estimate after being rear ended. They quickly provided a detailed estimate and ran through a few alternatives that I could think about, but sadly my insurance company determined that the car was a total loss and gave me the option of a payout for the value of the car. After agreeing to the amount, my insurance company tried to reduce the settlement and pay me considerably less. The people at Haskins were not obligated to help me negotiate with my insurance company (they were being paid their full amount regardless), but they went over and above and fought for me. They convinced my insurance company that what they were doing was not right, and I was paid every dollar I was promised! I could not have had a better outcome. I would recommend Haskins and their people to anyone (especially local Wellesley/Weston neighbors) needing automotive help. We are lucky to have this shop in town!!

As with all: 'LET THE BUYER BEWARE'. RED FLAGS when:…read more1) Told viewings are by appointment only. 2) Seller gets inspection sticker for buyer. 3) Tag Line: 'Someone just stopped in before you and was interested in the auto'. Let the buyer be aware. But they were pleasantly accommodating (for what that is worth) and friendly with a smile, albeit the auto is old with high miles, AND, leaks oil which wasn't apparent for a while. Would I shop there again? Only without an appointment and the wiles.

I went to buy a vehicle from them, they assured me everything was in good condition and the car was ready to be sold, I drove two and half hours with my mother. When we got there the car looked okay visually and ran okay, if you weren't mechanically inclined then you'd never know you're being sold a piece of junk. They fix and clean the cars just enough to run well and look okay to secure the sale. Car had a cracked exhaust just behind the muffler that was barely hanging on, the ac didn't work and the compressor was completely broken and seized, the belt was sliding right over the seized pulley. The front headlight was out. The central exhaust gasket just after the cat was not even a proper gasket used on an exhaust system, still not sure what the gasket thing they used was but it was not meant for an exhaust. Air filter into the engine looked like it was 6-7 years old and there was an interior panel missing that covered the fuse box. And to put the cherry on top, there was an absolutely catastrophic oil leak, the entire bottom of the engine was dripping in oil. They assured me everything worked well and there were no leaks and no issues at all with the car just for me to drive and see a complete piece of junk that at best needed $5k of work. Do not go here, bring your money somewhere else

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.

Llyod gave me a quote writing two crummy lines of figures for the repairs on the back of his name card( 2 and 1/4 inch x 2 inch) - I went there to get a decent estimate on a formal business letter instead). I accepted his offer of $1,150 for the repairs and get the work going leaving the car there at the workshop. He offered a rental car, but refused and called my wife to pick me up at the workshop. On the following day afternoon, I called him up expecting car would be ready bynthen, but he said that the mechanic was still working on and told me that he would call me when the car is ready. He also told me that there are two additional problems with a pair of rear struts that need to be replaced( He told me that they were old, but OK the day before when I brought the car over) which I found rather surprising. Anyway, he never called me on that afternoon. On the following day in the morning, I called him up, but his secretary picked up the phone: she told me that the repairs have been done and getting an inspection sticker and she will call me within 3O minutes. I waited for 30 minutes, but no call was made( February 7,2020 10:10 a.m.), so I called the office again: the secretary told me that she was about to call me back and asked me to come to pick up the car. When I entered the office, Llyod could not be seen. Instead, I found a bill laid on his table. The bill shows $300 more than the amount that we mutually agreed upon. I pointed out the discrepancy to the secretary, and asked where is Llyod. She told me that Lloyd is gone for next couple of days. I was pissed!! Lloyd lies and Lloyd cheats!!! He wants to rip off the people's hard earned money. Lloyd is type of a man who say something favorable to my ears and get the work going, but then later he revert what he promised and say something different.

In fact I don't know how that would apply to a manual transmission. Oh well. The sensor was shot. I no longer had this luxury. The fact is, he helped me out without an appointment and for his time... nothing. There's a lot of repair facilities and many people. Everybody has their favorites: Favorite restaurant, mall, car, wife, cat, etc. My favorite garage for my Mini CooperS is Astin's. They're a great team who care. To the 1 star woman... how dare you think he did that gratis. We live in a society where folks get paid for their work: mechanics, photographers, musicians,nurses hair dressers... you get the idea.
