But even before the repair, Chris kindly made a couple adjustments to make sure my car was safe to drive between then and the repair appointment. The service was also wonderful. Peggy and her family are so kind. I'd definitely come back here to service my car.

My mechanic John probably doesn't want to it advertised because I get the feeling he doesn't really LOVE fussing with my car these days but I have to say it anyway...Today he put some space-age material on my ancient exhaust and got it to pass inspection when we never thought it would.

If the part is going bad, they show it to you, explain how it should work, show you where the problem is with its functioning. Their prices are great.

The man I met told me he had been working there for his family over 20 years, and it's hard to find a better local resource than this for the price of a small tip and your gas. The station was very accessible and neatly kept right before the heart of downtown Amherst. You can pull in from either direction--just know what side of your car has the gas cap! All in all, I would tell international travelers, locals, students, and people of all ages and walks of life to go here. I'm certain they'll make you feel welcome and answer your questions, even in the bitter cold. Again, for full service gas, the price is low so mind to tip your attendant, 10% is a good amount and fits the current era we live in. The days where a single dollar was a good gas station tip were at least 30 years ago. :)

Then called a place and while their service guys had already left, he did something that shocked me/ He HELPED! He went through the places I had been left out in the cold by - once is enough... but the Auto Angel urges me to give him 15-20 minutes and like an unlikely SUPER HERO, vowed to find me a much - MUCH needed place to put on my snow tires, without which it is likely I will not make it up into the hinterlands of Heath...and if I by some miracle, make it, I stand no chance of escaping to any semblance of civilization and basic needs for my two and four legged family.

Was called and told my vehicle was finished and ready for pickup. After driving started to hear a whapping noise around one tire. Had it looked at. Found out that 2 of the 5 lug nuts about fell right off and a 3rd was one twist before falling off. I spoke with the manager and stated my concerns. He apologized and said he would talk to his staff about this. I told him this is unacceptable as people are trusting you with their vehicles. When you say its ready for pickup, they assume it ready to be driven. I'm just glad I didn't drive far and didn't have my children with me. The person I had look at it afterwards stated if 1 more fell off, it would have been a lot worse for me. Luckily nothing else was damaged.
