After a year of trying different YouTube hacks to turn off the airbag warning light on my wife's car, I finally gave up and started looking for a repair place to diagnose and repair the trouble. The Kia dealers I contacted wouldn't even give me an estimate on the potential issues. I took the car to Fred's on Mystic Ave, where I get my inspection stickers, and they diagnosed the problem, ordered the necessary part, and did the complicated replacement of the clock-spring device promptly and below the original estimate. Finally-an honest and competent mechanic. Fred was friendly, knowledgeable, and sensitive to the cost of the repair. I highly recommend going there for any vehicle issues you may have if you want the job done right at a fair price. Excellent experience! Tony-Medford, MA read more

I continue to return to Fred's because of their outstanding service. They are very kind and understanding. I had a flat tire, and without even a thought stopped everything they were doing to help me. I than returned 2 days later for an oil change, inspection sticker and a new tire. They made sure everything was good to go. They also told me down the line possible things to think about. I would recommend Fred's to any family, friend or neighbor to think about filling up their tank at Fred's. It''s the cheers of the auto service. read more

They have the best mechanic in the area with full service at the pump lol. They have the cheapest gas too. I drive all the way from Southie lol read more

I needed new brake pads for my car, Fred made sure to have them ordered the next day, when I came to pick up my car he even gave it a full detail, really emphasizing on the wheels since they had so much brake dust. He even made sure I was fully gassed up, this place is amazing, one stop shop. No brainer, going to Fred for all future needs. 10/10 recommend and telling all of my friends about this place read more

i've been screwed over by countless other shops. Freddy is the only shop I'll bring any of my cars too from now on. speedy service and it's always done right. can't say enough great things about this place. read more

Attendant was a total jerk. First was demanding I pay for inspection in cash of which I refused and then when I went to fill up acted put out having to pump. No thank you, just attitude. Been going there for years- no more - lost a customer. read more

Long before Covid hit Fred's provided excellent service and helpful advice. When they say full-service that's exactly what you get. Some recent surgery has made it difficult for me to bend and reach various parts of the car. The guys at Fred's didn't didn't hesitate for a second and generously checked the air in my tires, reached under the hood and graciously did whatever I needed . When it came to the one or two more major repairs we needed, they could not have been more thorough, helpful, and professional. Their work was always completed on time, the car was spotless and was never over budget. I found them to be completely trustworthy and top-quality professionals whom I would not hesitate to recommend. Our thanks go out to their entire team. read more

Came in for a car inspection, got yelled at because I came to the gas pump instead of their inspection bay. Then guy at the inspection bay was being a complete douche for no reason at all. Bad attitude for what? Hope places like this shut down read more

First and last time I stop at Fred's for gas. I pulled in the attendant was too busy eating candy rather than pumping my gas finally came over to pump my gas not even hello so I told him I needed to fill only to find out by the signs not by him that it was more money for a credit card then cash. He put the pump in my car it disappeared for a while we're on his cell phone meanwhile I'm sitting there my tank was full and the pump was still attached to my vehicle. Extremely slow service. Finally he came over took the hose out of my car and put my gas cap on halfway this I know because as soon as I drove off the light on my dashboard said gas cap so thank you now I have to reset my dashboard because of such sloppy bad service. Also he walked over I gave them my credit card grabbed it out of my hand when he came back because he handed it to me not a word but in between looked at his cell phone again and eat more candy which extended my stay waiting to just sign a slip I definitely won't go back here read more

Fred's Auto Service - Different price cash or credit - Gas Stations Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

If you're cruising down Mystic Avenue and the needle is leaning on E, DO NOT use the incredibly slow rear right station at Fred's. Commuters came and went at the three other spots. We sat for damn near 10 minutes and STILL cut the fill'er up short. Because there's nothing Funny or Cool about a gas station, the least you can do is heed this Useful warning: You Always Avoid the Rear Right Refueler. Or as Blackbeard would say, "Yaarrr..." read more

First and last time ill go here. Attendant just walked away never said i was all set. Guy was a total douche the whole time. I came home told my husband who said yeah that guy sucks. Guess everyone knew but me. Save your self the annoyance there is another one right next door. read more

I have never had such professional great service at a shop before until I came to Fred's. hands down telling all my friends to come here

My car had a nail stuck in it and the owner fixed it for me super quick and was extremely nice. He also filled my windshield washer fluid. Great service read more

I'm a fan of Fred's when I'm in the area, especially when I'm teetering on E coming off the highway (or getting on). I've been here quite a few times in the past few years of having friends in this area and it's quick, easy and they pump it for you, usually the same kid rocking out on his iPod which I really like because he's just doin' his damn thang. Hah, I mean I don't usually go some place that does it for you but when in a pinch, you have to sometimes. It's right off 93 and there is two stations right near each other but I choose this one. read more

Fred's Auto Service - Gas Stations Near Me - Medford, Massachusetts

This station doesn't deserve one star but I had to rate it to post it. Ihave been to this station frequently. The young man that works during the week is very nice. I had to go in on a Sunday And the young man who usually works here wasn't working. I pulled in and the attendant ignored me. He Went inside came out five minutes later, I should of went to the one right down the street. I told him clearly fill it regular he had me repeat myself four times then he asked cash or credit. I yelled credit. When I gave him my card he yelled you said cash. I said no I didn't you don't listen. He shoke his head came back threw the card at my elderly (blind) mother who was in my passenger seat. If you don't like your job stay home. read more

Great experience getting a state inspection here, super quick and painless. They take Visa and MasterCard but not American Express.

I have a company car and went in to fill up. I received a letter from my company that I purchased 17 gallons of gas and my tank holds 13. This is a full service station. So he either charged me for the wring car or overcharged me to make more money. I will never go to this station again. read more

If you're stuck in Route 93 traffic and you're low on gas, Fred's will fill your tank, they're friendly and fast!

Skip the long lines and the overpriced sale's pitch at nearby Jiffy Lube! I go here for all my basic car repairs. They are really fantastic - quick, & totally reasonably priced! OPEN SATURDAYS! read more

I stop here at least twice a week when my poor planning leaves me on E for the evening commute. I definitely like the full-serve aspect after a tiring day at work but I could do without the price hike they charge when you pay with credit. I've had to wait a few minutes for someone to come out and pump for me and have even gotten a little attitude when I hand them my card. It's usually the same guy at the pump and he's never once said thank you - would it kill you to at least say you're welcome after I thank you? read more

Got my state inspection here. It was fast and easy. 30$. Took about 15 minutes. Will probably come here again. Not really friendly but honestly I'm not looking for friendliness. I just want to get in and out and that's what they did. read more

So I am here to say.. as thirty something woman.. CHIVALRY IS ALIVE AND WELL AT FRED'S!!! I was filling up my tank when I realized that my credit card was no longer in my wallet, I only got to nine dollars... but had NO MONEY at all to pay... I spoke with Fred.. told him how embarrassed I was... and he smiled and said it was okay! I know its not a lot of money.. but still I was very thankful! Thanks Fred!!! read more

I walked in to get a state inspection. I was in and out in about 20 minutes, and they gave me a complete breakdown of all that they tested. $35. Simple, friendly, and quick. read more

These guys are a joke. Came for my inspection and they just stared at me for 15 minutes before asking what I was there for. Finally got the car in the garage and the guy says I have a reverse light out. So I give him the okay to put a new bulb thinking it's only a couple extra bucks. He charges me $50. Now $35 of that is the inspection. But $15 to change a lightbulb?!? I said something and he goes "Labor charge" to which I told him I could get a bulb for $5 at Auto Zone and they'd change it for free. He shrugs and I pay him. I come out to my car and he didn't even put the sticker on my car! I went back in and asked where my sticker was and he says "oh you noticed! At least you pay attention!" Do not go here. Unless terrible service is what you're looking for. read more
