The part costs a fortune at the dealer and he's been patient and willing to work with me as I try to locate and buy a replacement myself thru used auto parts resellers and junkyards. As a guy whos spent most of my life fixing my own cars, it's hard for me to find a mechanic I trust. I trust this guy. Go there. Ony reason it's not five stars is it's still a work in progress. Will upgrade when all is said and done.

I stopped in to find out about getting my brakes done. He gave me a quote of $199 per axel. I…read morethought that was fair. There was not wait time to get my car in, but I had an issue of getting a rental car. He said they have them ONSITE and at no additional charge. Now, I am not sure if that is for everyone, or just a cute local girl. I was getting some stuff done next door at Charlies and would like to drop it off the same day to get everything done at once. He said that would be perfectly fine. They completed the brakes and also did an oil change at my request. It was done in roughly 2 hours. I have had my car back for a few months with no issues. There was no additional fee's and I paid exactly what I was told. I would hate for this place to get a bad rap because little Miss "I can't do Math" and I like to write books on Yelp has a bone to pick. I would definitely do business with them in the future just for the rental car alone.

I am amazed that Unique doesn't have more reviews here and that the one that is here is a 1-star…read more My family has been taking our cars to Unique for over twenty years. We have had all of our service on the six cars that we've owned in that time done by Unique. We are people that hold onto our cars until they're nearly dead, so having an auto care professional that will be cognizant of that and honest about when the investment into an older car may not be wise is important. Two of our Toyotas made it to 250,000 with Unique's maintenance and repair. Mike and his crew have always been very reasonable in price. Routine maintenance there vs. the dealership is not even comparable. We gave up on servicing our new cars at the dealerships early on when we realized that they overcharge significantly. The Unique crew goes out of their way to keep repair costs low and will find good used parts as an alternative to new parts when possible and with our approval. Mike will always get me in at a moment's notice when there's a problem. I've even called him from out of state to ask about car issues. They've driven me home when I didn't have a ride. They've let me borrow a car while they were repairing mine. They've stayed late for us. On the few occasions that the repair did not seem to completely fix the problem, they've brought it right back and completed it either at no charge or for just the price of parts. There are some jobs they don't do like alignments and have even taken our cars to Firestone for an alignment if they were doing related services. They do great with hybrids too; our two new Prius's have had all their service here. I have always felt that auto repair places could take advantage of customers with no experience in auto repair. But I have always felt that Mike is completely honest and invested in completing the job perfectly and at as low a cost as possible. I would recommend this place without hesitation. I feel fortunate that I live in the same town, but I truly feel that their service is worth driving for!

Just to follow up on Dave's response, I supplied Volvo OEM sway bar bushings to Rave Imports after…read morediscussing this with Dave. The sway bar bushings for my V40 consist of four separate components. I supplied these parts because the Volvo dealer doesn't stock them and I didn't want to leave my car for two or three days waiting on the parts. I also supplied an installation diagram as I know these bushings are often installed incorrectly, which is what in fact happened despite my best efforts. Rave discarded two of the parts I'd supplied in the process of installing the other parts incorrectly. The front struts and coil springs.that were installed incorrectly by Rave were Volvo OEM parts purchased from Rave Imports.

Thanks to Dave and Ryan for a swift repair to my 2004 Volvo S60…read more We were travelling from NYC via Boston and Burlington VT back to Toronto when my steering fluid started leaking. I went through a quart of fluid between Providence and Boston. I couldn't wait to get back to my mechanic in Toronto. Based on other Yelp reviews I contacted Nick's garage and Rave. I explained the situation to both and waited for them to call me back with a quote. Rave provided an estimate within an hour while Nick was still waiting for a callback regarding parts costs, but did estimate costs similar to Rave. I went with Rave, we looked under the car together and Dave pointed out the signs of what the problem is. While under the car he did check a few other steering related things like tie rods an ball joints. They also had chairs in the garage area if i wanted to watch them work. So the story ends up with a happy, very satisfied customer who feels the customer service, attention to detail, and swift but not too swift as to miss anything service put meback on the road the same day. The car drives like new again. Not bad for a volvo with 145,000 miles! PS. I always put any new mechanic through a slew of questions to see if he's a bullshitter or the real deal. They pass the "no bullshit" test. Thanks guys!

They charged me $250+ for labor to replace brakes and rotors, which is very over priced. They gave…read moreme the run around when I asked them for a the price of the parts and labor because they billed me $450. The parts where purchased from O'reily's for about 200 (maybe less with their discount). They take advantage of women, I left my car at the shop and told them to quote me before ordering the parts. They ordered the parts anyways and then told me how much it would be. If you go there make sure you bring your own parts and ask how much the labor will be BEFORE leaving your car. SPANISH SPEAKERS: Me cobraron $250 + por la mano de obra para reemplazar frenos y rotores, que es muy caro. Me dieron la vuelta cuando les pedí el precio de las piezas y la mano de obra porque me habian cobrado $ 450. Las partes fueron compradas de O'reily's por aproximadamente $200 (quizás menos con su descuento). Se aprovechan de las mujeres, dejé mi auto en la tienda y les dije que me citaran antes de ordenar las piezas. Ordenaron las partes de todos modos y luego me dijeron cuánto sería. Si va allí, asegúrese de traer sus propias piezas y pregúntele cuánto va a ser el trabajo ANTES de dejar su automóvil.

Once he got my sizable down payment, I didn't hear from him. I left a cover for the car and he joked that it wouldn't do any good. Then whenever I would drive by, the cover wasn't on it. I called and he didn't call back. I had a buddy call to check on it and suddenly I'm told I have to pick up my car within a week. When I asked for my money back, I was told derisively that we were even because of storage. The car was stored less than a week after Lance's admin called to tell me he was done with it.
