What a great experience!…read more My step dad is a mechanic and we found this place while searching local shops to get a transmission reprogrammed for my Lincoln MKX. We have never really used an auto repair shop, seeing as he does it all, yet this was one thing that needed to be done after replacing the transmission. One word : IMPRESSED. Quick and friendly service and honest opinions about the car - which is really appreciated - you don't always see this when going to a auto shop.

Once I frequented this shop more the more the issues came. went to change my exhaust manifold and going to this shop has been the worst mistake I've made. Spend around $260 to get the new gasket and to install $260 is a generous amount for this repair. I got my car back with no gasket and half of my bolts switched out to old rusted bolts basically got switched out for old car parts. The younger guy tells me he changed my gasket initially I couldnt here the noise of broken gasket but after the second time I started my car the sound was back not sure if he just glued the gasket together or what. But that has been the worst job anyone has ever done even after paying $260 he denied me when I went back to get it fixed with out charge couldn't even get a refund for being robbed for my parts. If you go to this shop make sure the older gentleman attends you and works on your car, the younger kid seems to get work from him sad case for customers

I highly recommend Canal Auto Shop for any of your car repair needs. I called the shop from out of…read morestate today (on a holiday, no less) and spoke with Dee, who graciously allowed me to have my college-aged daughter have AAA drop off her non-working Honda Accord for repair. I explained to Dee what we and AAA thought the problem may be (a bad alternator or serpentine belt) and Dee said they would take a look and have it repaired today. He gave me an estimate over the phone and had the car repaired in a few hours at the exact price quoted. It turns out it was a bad alternator, after all. I am so grateful for Dee and his shop for taking my daughter's car in last minute and ensuring she'd have a working vehicle for her first day of senior year of college tomorrow morning. Thank you for being so kind, helpful and timely with the repair! Will definitely return in the future!

Told they will have it done by end of day, got a call around 130pm and told me he can hear a noise with a "stethoscope" on the wheel bearings, would cost up to $1,700 to change front bearings, but not a safety issue. I told them get the brakes done, that is most important, I need my vehicle at the end of day. Said they will try to get the brake parts, didn't order yet for some reason, got another call a little later saying John won't be able to do it today because he never ordered the parts. To TOP IT OFF, I go to pick up the vehicle and John wants to charge me over $100.00 just because he took the wheels off! I can go to Meinekie for a FREE brake check, I told him to do the brakes, he didn't, and he tries to give me a bill for $100.00 for pulling off the front tires and listening to the bearings for noise. It's a shame, we have family and friends in town with a combined 12 cars or more that would love to use a local business for it's auto repairs. This is pound wise and penny foolish behavior. He should of just buried the cost in the brake job, that I would have had him do, not now.

They will charge you 565.00 for doing nothing and will laugh in your face when you are forced to pay it. This could be the most dishonest shop in Marblehead, the most expensive, and the laziest. It's not about taking good care of their local customers, it's about making as much money as they can at your expense. Go to Barrett's Garage in Marblehead, honest, kind, trustworthy, accommodating and just all around nice. I look forward to sharing my story with everyone I know, including some that are customers right now and others that plan on going there in the future. I live right by the shop and look forward to seeing them around town regularly. As you can clearly see from a review someone posted 8 days before mine with a 1 Star, they also got ripped off......... THIS IS COMMON PRACTICE FOR THIS PLACE!!!! Also, if you see the replies from the owner KATIE B, she is unprofessional, childish and rude. I guess we know where the rest of the staff take their cue from. Explains a lot.

Needless to say, I was devastated. Had to make a hit and run claim because the neighbor would not admit anything, even though the paint transfer on the door and rust on the ground were 100% from her car. My appraiser recommended Classic, so I called and made an appointment. When I went there on a Wednesday, Tony said to bring it in on Monday so I wasn't wasting my rental while they researched doors and also the weekend passing. I thought that was very considerate of him! Dropped it off on the Monday at about 8:15am, and they set up the rental. Got picked up and had my rental and was at work by 9am. Not bad! I mentioned to Tony that there was a preexisting scratch on the hood and on the bumper that I would like a quote for. He said don't worry, we'll take care of you. The car was ready Thursday afternoon, and I picked it up on Friday. As soon as I saw it, it was like a weight had been lifted. The new door looked and worked perfectly, and the paint was an exact match. You would never know that it was new! Also, I couldn't find the scratch on the hood and bumper! They gave me a great price on the extra work I had them do, and it looks like it just rolled out of the factory. All in all, they took an awful situation and made it into a GREAT experience. Tony and Jimmy take pride in their work and their customers and it shows. I've never had this kind of experience with a mechanic or auto body shop before, and I will definitely come back in the future, and I'm telling all my friends and family! Thanks guys!
