Bob at Central Auto is a throw back! I true gentleman who looks to help you and get you back on the road. I have had two instances where I brought my vehicle in (2010 Honda Ridgeline) for a quick fix and both times were a surprise! The first, he told me that he just needed to adjust something by my tie-rod, which was no charge. The second time, he did my front brakes which cost far under what I was quoted at two other places. I have brought my kids cars in for oil changes and the service and timing has been perfect each and every time! Definitely a 5-star! One more thing: please be sure to call before you drop your car so that Bob is able to get to it that same day! There is a key drop, if needed, as well! read more

I've been taking my truck to Central Automotive for about 6 years. I'm always impressed with the professionalism. I have an older Chevy pickup that's required regular maintenance. Over the years they've repaired/replaced my radiator, exhaust, brakes, fuse box and an electrical harness among other things. One time a replacement part failed. He got the part again for me and stood by his work. The best. read more

Central Automotive is the Best !!!! Excellent Customer Service Great Technician and gets the job done every time . Thank You

I have used Central Automotive for years. Bob has worked on several different cars over that time and never disappointed me on the quality or cost of the work. I am a driveway mechanic myself but some jobs time and my skill level were not up to speed and Bob has been so reliable and reasonable I will go nowhere else. My three children now use Bob and I have had both cars in the recent time down to him for repair. I highly recommend Central Automotive and know you will not be disappointed. read more

Very disappointed with this person, he does not stand behind his word I will wait for this person to pay for his wrong doing. He lied, he said he fixed a big part of a jeep he sold to me, gave me the receipt saying he did fix it. But when I did the oil change and the inspection, come to find out had so Manny issues even an accident that was not in the report. I called him and explain"he said who knows how many people have mess around with this jeep" he said why did you go buy tires' . He told me that he was not responsable for any of that. Mind you I have purchased this car in July/20 brought it back 4 time from RI to Mass 50 mins ride. It has been only 2 months and I have invested more than 2,000 on top of what I paid for it. I will take measures on this matter. It may take me awhile but I will find my sources to stop this guy. If you buy a car from this guy please be careful, do your research get an inspection. His lic. needs to be revoke. read more

Service was horrible. I had him change my radiator. Once the radiator was changed, a million other issues with my cooling system began to happen. I brought it back once, he said that it was a loose o-ring, and that he fixed it. I brought it back a third time, and this time he told me it was a thermostat issue. I asked him why he didn't change it the first time, and he became defensive. He cussed me out and closed the doors to his garage to avoid having to talk to me. I have never experienced worse customer service in my life. I would NOT recommend this auto-shop or mechanic to anyone. They are untrustworthy. shady, disrespectful, and unaccountable. read more

In general, I would say this is a decent reputable shop. They don't try and rip you off, like so many do, but I was a little disappointed this last time around. We had an issue with the AT shifter on our car. My wife brought it in and told the mechanic that we were told there was a problem with the shift cable. The mechanic wasn't able to pinpoint the problem, and decided to play roulette and tried replacing the neutral safety switch, at a cost of $350. Well, that didn't resolve the issue as it was still difficult to shift, and wasn't properly registering it was in Park. Brought the car back, and this time he properly diagnosed it was corrosion in the cable linkage. Another $450 later. I don't mind paying for fixing what was wrong, but I think it fair that the customer not pay for the mechanic's mis-diagnosis, especially when they were told what to look for, at least the labor on that. I just think that's wrong, and it's soured me on this place. That's not the way I treat my customers Update, in response to company: The review IS correct. You don't like the truth, then perhaps you shouldn't operate that way. You were told what to look for, it was obvious when you finally looked the second time. Instead you guessed and guessed wrong at my expense. $800 to repair a shift cable linkage? "The call was the customers?" lol. YOU'RE the mechanic! YOU'RE supposed to know what to do! My wife told you what we were told was the problem, YOU said no, let's try the switch. Holy crap, I have to explain this to you? Yes, sometimes it costs extra when you don't listen, and try and take advantage of my wife's lack of understanding. Lying now to cover it doesn't help, and by other reviews here I can see we're not the only one. Charging customers for your bad diagnosis is bad business read more

I have never been disappointed, always honest and trustworthy. Bob the owner runs a great shop, does excellent work on my cars when I need them serviced. Fast repairs and fixed right the first time. I never need to second guess or go anywhere else. Highly recommended if you need a honest auto mechanic. read more
