I will be their customer for as long as I am driving and still reside in the area. Excellent work and reasonably priced!

When it comes to car issues we really can't expect less than that. Most people don't know a whole lot about cars and when something goes wrong you need to know the place you bring it to will give you not only a professional diagnosis but an honest one. Bob and the folks at Townline treated us very well, repaired our vehicle without trying to oversell us on things we didn't need done, gave us a fair price and completed the work very quickly. We went a little out of our way to have our car fixed there and we are happy to say we will return whenever the need arises. Service like that is worth it.

I have dealt with many mechanics in the past who have very likely to most definitely overcharged me and certainly charged me for items and labor on my vehicle which absolutely did NOT need repair and which I absolutely did NOT ask for them to do. I can trust Hub Starters, because in my experience they have told me to not do things which weren't important or a safety concern when they could have easily made money from me, but instead put their service before profits.

Hub Starters are liars and thieves. They up-charge for work they never do. They robbed me for…read morealmost $1,000. Before you think that Hub Starters might not likely be doing the same to you if they haven't already, taking advantage of honest, hard-working people who (they think) don't know anything about their car or engine, ask yourself this: must you always drop your car off to be serviced for an extended period of time? Do they give you a hard time about sitting and waiting for the work to be done? If so, when you pick it up, have them point out to you what work was done. Take pictures before, and take pictures after. Make sure that the work is actually being done. I am a full-time college student and a single female. I am new to the area. I have recently had to start my life over from scratch. I don't have family or friends here. I work for the City and moved here for work. A little over a year ago I found and bought my car. It is a 2004 Ford Taurus. It is my only asset. As much of the work that my car needs done that I am able or capable to do, I do it. My friend and I attempted to to do a tuneup. We did alright, but unfortunately we were only able to change the front three spark plugs and wires on the engine. We couldn't finish it and do the back three, because generally one must take the manifold off. (Alternatively, one might access it from underneath with the use of a lift kit. This I don't have.) Since moving here to Malden, I have had my car serviced at Hub Starters. I was referred by a coworker and someone whom I had thought was a friend. I needed the break pads replaced. While I was waiting for the break pads to be done, I spoke with the owner about some other work I needed done. In particular, I told him that I needed the tune up finished - the back three spark plugs. He told me that they wouldn't have time to do it that day due to the fact that the manifold would need to be taken off and that it would take some time, but we made tentative future plans for me to bring it back to have it done. Fast forward - while at work at my other job one day, my car wouldn't start. I thought it was the starter. I rented a car on my lunch break, expecting to have to have the car towed into Hub Starters for further repairs. When AAA showed up, the service agent was able to jump my car off of the jump kit. It wasn't the starter, it was the battery, he said. He could have replaced my battery right there, without charging me a thing that day. Hell, I could have changed my own battery. Instead, I asked him to tow the car to Hub Starters. I would get the work done that I had been putting off and desperately needed - primarily the back three spark plugs and wires on the engine At the end of the day, Hub Starters charged me just under half a grand. This was to change the battery, replace the drivers side mirror I had broken, but mostly, to complete the pain-in-the-butt tune up I needed so badly. I picked up my car and drove off, and didn't think twice about it. Until my car started intermittently stalling. Then, one day, I popped the hood, and lo and behold - the same old spark plugs and wires. Hub Starters charged me a small fortune for work they never did. I went to Hub Starters to straighten it out. Surely this was an oversight. No way did they intentionally charge me almost $1,000 for work they never did. The battery and the mirror, I could have fixed that myself. I popped the hood to show the owner. The first thing he said was, "these are new wires," fingering the back plugs' wires. Until I pulled out the old matching front wires we had changed, still stored in my trunk. So then he says, "hold on, give me a minute, I'll figure this out." He goes into the shop for a few minutes and then comes back. He has my receipt in his hand, and he tells me, "we charged you for three spark plugs. We didn't charge you for the wires. You didn't ask us to change the wires." I'm floored already. Who ever heard of anyone changing the spark plugs but reusing the old wires? "So you changed the spark plugs but not the wires?" "Yes," he says. I'm about to pop the wire off one of the back plugs to see if they were new plugs. "We changed these ones," he tells me, pointing to the three front spark plugs. The plugs I had already just changed. The plugs that were brand new. "Why would you do that?" I asked him. He said, "because we ran a diagnostic and the machine told us that was where it was misfiring." I didn't need a diagnostic. I needed the three spark plugs on the back of my engine changed. Hub Starters ripped me off and stole almost $1,000 from me, and I still need the work done. Hub Starters, my Cash App is $LittleHypocritic, if you want to return the money you stole.

I sat in rush hour traffic for an hour and a half and finally pulled into the garage. My car was inspected immediately, professionally, and with such great customer service - I literally won't be going anywhere else to get inspections done. DMVI is open regular business hours, and by appointment if you call. Apparently they used to be open Saturdays (why doesn't everyone inspect on Saturdays for us working folk???) but I don't think people realized it was around (I know I didn't - I found them on the RMV inspection locator website). I'm sure if you call ahead they will work something out for you though! Again - It's a little off the beaten path (129 Broadway STREET - not just Broadway - in Wakefield, at the top of Crystal Lake (below Wakefield Lake)... but is totally and completely worth the drive. They even send out reminders when your next inspection is coming up! I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to have a good experience when getting your inspection done, but I was so impressed with my experience that I had to share.

One day I pulled in about 5 minutes after they'd closed. Noel came out to give me his regrets, but when he saw my low gas meter he very kindly opened up again for one last sale!
