I had been a customer since 2015 when Anthony was behind the desk, but Miguel is unfortunately a different story. Doesn't care about customer rapport, quotes outrageous prices for simple jobs, and never picks up the phone or returns phone calls. I haven't had a call answered or a voicemail returned in over a year. If you're able to get through, the work done by Will and Justin is top notch, but you may be faced with an exorbitantly inflated price tag by Miguel. Very unfortunate but I have no other choice than to find a new mechanic, because communication has been one-way for too long and trust has been eroded.

These guys diagnosed the issue quickly and had the parts I needed ordered in no time. Steve and Mike were awesome to work with--honest, knowledgeable, and kept me updated throughout the process. It's refreshing to find a shop that treats your car like it's their own, especially when it's something a little more unique. One warning though... if you show up and Steve has his shirt off, don't be intimidated. He might look like he could bench press your entire car, but he's actually one of the nicest, most laid-back guys you'll meet. Thanks again, Steve and Mike! I'll definitely be back (hopefully for upgrades next time instead of repairs!).

After relocating to New England, I sought a trustworthy auto repair shop and discovered Brakeman's…read moreAuto Repair in Jamaica Plain, MA. Their numerous 5-star Yelp reviews highlighting exceptional service, quality, and professionalism caught my attention. Upon visiting their website, I was impressed by their rich family history in mechanics, which prompted me to schedule an appointment. Surprisingly, securing a slot was easy despite their stellar reputation. Using the Waze app for navigation, I encountered minor inaccuracies; however, locating the shop became straightforward once I realized it's situated across from the gas station on the corner, housed in a distinctive green building. The owner, Ray, was both kind and courteous. He thoroughly examined my brakes and rotors, informed me that he would order the necessary parts, and mentioned there might be a wait. He suggested I consider taking an Uber, but I opted to spend time at a nearby library. Unfortunately, the library was a small branch that didn't open until noon that day, so I utilized the adjacent Curtis Hall Community Center to catch up on some work. Throughout the service, I received timely updates from the shop. The brake and rotor repairs were completed efficiently, and Ray's dedication to customer satisfaction was evident. He checked in later that day to ensure my car was performing well post-service and followed up the next day to confirm my continued satisfaction. This level of personalized service reminded me of the local mechanics back in the South. The most important thing besides the service, and the quality, the VALUE!!! I saved 50% of what I was quoted by the dealership just for brakes!! It goes to show that there are still businesses like Brakeman's Auto Repair that aren't trying to get over on people that provide GENUINE SERVICE in a timely manner. In summary, Brakeman's Auto Repair offers a blend of professional expertise and genuine customer care. For anyone in the New England area seeking reliable auto service, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
