I do not normally post things to Yelp however, in the case of Horseless Carriage I have too. I had brought my 2008 Ford F150 into Horseless Carriage from a recommendation by my father. I brought it in for a comprehensive check for a cross country trip from NH to CA my family and I are making. Nick (owner) is by far the most honest, knowledgeable, and professional mechanic I had ever dealt with. These types of guys are very hard to find these days. The other mechanics that he has working there are also very knowledgeable and professional mechanics. I have been having some transmission problems with my truck and after multiple trips to a Ford dealership, each time I was told that there was nothing wrong with it. One trip to Horseless Carriage and Dave (one of the mechanics) was able to accurately trouble shoot the problem the first time. They even brought me into the garage and showed me and explained to me what was going on. They had also found some problems with my rear axle that if left undetected could have resulted in more damage and the possibility of getting stranded somewhere on my route to California. Nick had called me and explained to me everything that they had found, some of the items were not very important and said could wait, but took the time and explained to me how to fix them and what to look out for. Then got into the items that needed to be fixed and what the cost was going to be for each one and the hours it would take to get it done, surprisingly the prices were all very very reasonable. Any other garage would have just told me that everything they found needed to be done and without knowing any better I would have just said OK and paid an outrageous repair bill. This place sets the standard of how repair facilities should be! I would highly recommend Horseless Carriage to anyone who is in need of an honest, professional and knowledgeable repair facility! To Nick and the rest of the guys there I want to personally thank you for your honesty and great work you had done on my truck and your willingness to work with me. If I am ever back in this area in the future you can bet on me being a return customer for any and all my maintenance needs. The person who was to first review this shop and rate them as a one star must have this place confused with another, truly 5 star work! Thanks again! TH read more

I needed exhaust repair on my 2002 Toyota Highlander.I had gone to the Manchester Toyota dealer awhile back for a diagnosis of my car's problems. The Toyota people where very nice but the first quote I got was for about $2,400.00 total. I could not afford that amount. They then came in with a quote of about $1,900 (not using Toyota parts). I had until April of 2015 to have the work done. I would need the work done before I would pass NH State Inspection. I had been passing by Horseless Carriage for months. I saw the sign out front that said we repair exhaust systems. I thought WHY NOT? Since it was/is April I knew I had to get the work done. I am so happy I called. These guys are GREAT! Nick, the manager, gave me the prices of everything I needed over the phone. I had a print out from the Manchester Toyota people so I knew exactly what I was looking for. I truly appreciated the fact that Nick gave me prices over the phone. As it turned out, the Toyota people where wrong as to exactly what I needed. Nick, at the Horseless Carriage, was able to bring my total cost in under 60% less than what Toyota of Manchester wanted to do. The price from Nick also included the inspection fees. I found the people at Horseless Carriage to be honest and very competent. I am astounded by the honesty I found in this company. They could have charged me for stuff I didn't need but was told I did need it from another repair shop. Horseless Carriage has a customer for life! I will be bringing all my cars in here for service. I suggest you check them out. You will become a customer for life too!! read more

I needed a chore truck, the 07 Toyota Tundra came up as top rated for used trucks. we watched for one to come up locally.Nick and Horseless Carriage had one. We took it for a ride and the the price was good, Nick put it on the lift and showed us the frame and other points of interest. At this point Nice said it was not ready to pick up, he needed to fix some things that he was not 100% happy with, he replaced the bumper, tow bracket and break lines. all of which would pass....they are just very picky about what they let off the lot. so much so, that when we did pick it up he had replaced the entire exhaust system. That being said, it is a 18 yo truck, things do come up. engine light came of..O2 sensor fixed...came on again....Nick replaced the gas tank. At loan close we had equity in it, the price was very fair, i am very pleased with the service and willingness to ensure i had a sound vehicle. This is clearly a company that wants to grow through reputation and referral. When in need i will certainly check Horseless Carriage inventory .........side note, this truck is my daily driver now..solid as a rock. Dave Castle Pembroke NH read more

My husband and I had been on a search for a used car which is usually a painful process until we came upon Nick and Jim at Horseless Carriage. Hands down two of the nicest guys I've ever met. They did a complete check of the car before we bought it, made a few minor repairs, it's inspected for a year from the date of our purchase and even though we bought it as is Nick told us if we have any problems he wants to be the first to know. We have had zero problems with the car. The visor was broken and the day we bought it Nick ordered a new visor which he paid for and installed a week later when it arrived to their shop. In all my years of car shopping this was by far the most pleasant experience. I highly recommend Horseless Carriage for used cars and service. They are true stand up guys in a tough business!! read more

I have a lot of trust issues with mechanics, not just because I am a girl, but because I don't have the luxurious lifestyle of affording to rent a car, wait days for a car, all the hassles of cars--but to have a group of mechanics who are willing to sell me a car on the spot and then do their mechanical magic as quickly as possible without giving me grief about time management has left me overwhelmed with gratitude. The owner is sympathetic, the mechanics are spot on and can communicate to me as a person and not a paycheck. It's just a relief to be able to rely on these professionals when something goes astray with my car, and that I can safely recommend them to any friend without worrying about anyone getting ripped off or receiving less than high quality service. In other words: A+ read more

I had bought a used car recently from them about a month ago. Even though they normally charge at least $500 for down payment, they let me only pay $300 because that was all I had. It was also completely refundable if I decided to change my mind. They also made sure that the car was fully functional before selling it to me. The car also came with a 20 day temporary plate. Earlier this week my car broke down and we decided to call them up. They offered to fix it at no charge and gave us the number of a man who could tow it up there. Little did we know that the entire transmission needed to be replaced (which is roughly a $1200 job). They kept their word to completely repair it for free. I'd recommend this place to anyone/ read more

I recently bought my first car here - fresh out of college. They put up with me coming back four times to test-drive different cars, before settling on an 06 Ford Fusion. When I came to pick up the car (after another once-over in the shop), they had the front windshield re-cleaned, and the car was running with the A/C blasting and a radio station playing softly. Nice touch. The owner made it clear that although the warranty covers 45 days with a 50/50 split on expenses, he's never made a customer pay a dime. I even messed up the paperwork and, rather than charging me another $150 to refile it, they did it for free. Excellent service and great, dependable guys. read more

I bought my new car with Horseless Carriage and was pleasantly surprised with their customer service. There was absolutely no pressure. I was able to purchase an amazing car, extended warranty, and they helped with all of the paperwork. The state actually ended up messing up my paperwork, but Horseless Carriage helped with the issue. Jim and Nick are both personable and helpful, and really nice. The mechanics are all amazing as well. I've gotten work done on my old car there, and will continue to go there for maintenance on my new car. I would recommend both the garage and the car buying services that Horseless Carriage has to offer! read more

These guys are fantastic!!! I was having a problem with my jeep driving home one monday evening. I called horseless carriage and to my surprise, Nick answered the phone! He was great and diagnosed my problem right over the phone and told me to bring it by in the morning. I got there first thing to be greeted with a smile. Dave and Garry verified the catalytic converter was clogged on my jeep and gave me a VERY reasonable quote. The "direct-fit" catalytic converter was of course not going to work in my application, so some fabrication was needed. It came out awesome. Thanks guys, I'll be back. read more

My husband and I were looking for a safe car for our 16 year old son, we spoke with nick and he was very helpful with helping us find a nice car that my son could afford. He saved all summer for it. Nick make us feel as though he to cared very much about making sure we found the right car. And any follow up service he has gone above and beyond. It is very hard to find people like nick. We have told everyone we know and hope everyone reading this stops by and check out his dealership. Thank you nick for all your help. Bruce and Misty Craig read more

Great Service. Bought my car here 10 months ago and took it back for inspection. Fair prices for all the parts I needed and they gave my a loaner car for the day. Went back in the afternoon and everything was all set with an inspection stick on. Great group guys who know what they are talking about. Nice atmosphere with a great waiting area. I felt very comfortable here and they make you feel welcomed. read more

I've been using Nick and his crew for repairs for over a year now and I can't imagine using anyone else. My father-in-law recommended and introduced me to Horseless Carriage when I needed a replacement of my exhaust system and they quoted me a more than fair price, did a fantastic job, and since have gone above and beyond to earn and keep my trust and they have a customer for life! Thank you, guys! read more

Had my vehicle on for inspection on advice from a friend to see nick and crew. I set a budget and they came on below. They were honest and treated me like a person not a stupid girl.

My experience selling my car to Horseless Carriage was straight forward. They checked my car, test drove it the same day and made me a solid offer during my initial visit. Both Nick and Jim were very pleasant to work with. Thank You! NHGAL2 read more
