From one family to another trusted and quality work. I wouldn't go anyplace.else I had critters eating the front grill of my minivan. They gave me a fair price with quick quality service I received a fair price read more

Honest, friendly service, competent work, totally satisfied, price was better than most.

Jarmo's has been in Maynard for at least four generations and that is testament in itself. The shop is clean and well organized with all the mechanics wearing Jarmo swag. Friendly, affordable, and they never try to sell the customer for more. My 2018 Chevy Colorado will last well over 300k and probably more if I take it to them for the often-forgotten fluid upkeep, especially transmission, Jarmo's expertise. read more

I have my vehicle routinely maintained at Jarmo's. Excellent customer service, prompt repairs. Value for your money!

Everyone makes mistakes. It's how you react to them that matters. I took my car in to Jarmo today for new breaks. I had told them the day before that I would be in a hurry and they said it would take a few hours. I was waiting across the street in McDonalds and I went back to check a few hours later. They had not noted the rush job and hadn't started my car yet. I explained that I needed the car to pick up my daughter in a few hours. They were very apologetic and, more importantly, they put 3 people on the job to get it done in 1/3 the normal time. On top of that, their estimate of the cost of the parts was too high. Some mechanics might look at that as a nice extra profit. But not only did they quote me a lower price than everyone except Jiffy Lube, with the savings from the part being a little cheaper than expected, they actually beat Jiffy Lube's price. I had a mechanic I used for several years that recently closed. Now I think I've found my new regular mechanic. I can't comment on the quality of the work specifically. But the car seems to be working, so no complaints. read more

Here's what happens when you DON'T go to Jarmo's: A year ago, my car wouldn't start while I was visiting family out-of-town. I had no choice but to take it to a place nearby. Came way with a BIG bill for replacing my alternator, along with a lot of other things they said I needed. Flash forward to now: car's making a terrible noise. Jarmo's told me I needed to replace the alternator - which I'd replaced just a year ago. The first place had installed a subpar product, for which I was charged over $1000 (P&L). Jarmo's got me out the door for $670. They also took the time to look up the failed alternator and discovered it's under warranty, so I will be circling back to the first place (though not optimistic they will do anything for me). If my car breaks down again while I'm far away, I'm going to pay to have it towed to Jarmo's......I think I will still come out ahead. read more

Great service, friendly service, honest service. Couldn't have asked for more from a local repair shop. Will be back for future car services. read more

They lied to me, outright. After years of recommending people, and my own neighbors, friends and family telling me to go there. Flat out lied and frankly ripped me off. I called about a full front end brake job - something I can easily do myself, but with a rust-welded-on seized caliper and no lift at home, would not be fun laying on the ground in the dead of summer. When I called, I gave a run down of what was needed. I asked about coated rotors - what were the shops opinions on them, would they install them? I'd prefer them because of New England rust and my very open-profile rims, but being newer to the market I hadn't had personal experience with them other than a friends recommendation. The person quoting me told me that they LOVE coated rotors, my quote DEFINITELY includes coated rotors - in fact, he said, they had a SPECIAL DEAL direct from the manufacturer for a full brake job including coated rotors. He quoted me a price that was not too much more than if I was to buy the parts and do it myself. When I dropped the truck off, I filled out a form - included in the description of services to be performed? COATED ROTORS. When I picked up my vehicle I didn't notice anything strange... some coated rotors are gray or black around the edge, others are silvery like mine were, so I assumed I got what I paid for. When I got home, I looked at the details of my bill, and - surprise! While no models or makes were listed, the parts numbers were immediately recognizable. The calipers were the CHEAPEST remanufactured models from the local auto parts store house brand. The rotors were the CHEAPEST non-coated option from the same store. The pads, inexplicably were a better quality from that store brand. How do I know? I managed stores from the same chain for years! The next morning, I stepped outside to find one of the calipers, just due to dew over night, was covered in surface rust - because it was cheap, and poorly painted (special ceramic paint at the factory) the finish didn't even last a day in the elements. The calipers were also beginning to rust on the edges. I went and bought some coated rotors to install myself, and when I tried to remove the wheels... surprise! They were torqued on so tight that I couldn't move them with a wrench. Or a breaker bar. Or a torque gun. I finally got them to crack using an eight foot long piece of black iron pipe on a breaker, by hitting the end with a sledge hammer! I got them off to find the tone rings for my rims were missing - what the hell? Note to Harry Homeowner - start your lugs with a torque gun, finish them with a wrench (no, ASE says it but you don't need a torque wrench or specific specs). Overtorqued wheel lugs can warp your rotors - these did - and can damage your studs - thankfully these didn't. I called and was told they would call me back. This was the peak of COVID scares, so there was no "stopping by to talk". I never got a call back, and didn't pursue it because... guess what. It was not a mistake - it was a flat out lie. This wasn't "whoops we ordered the wrong part" it was a tall tale about manufacturers that don't exist. I have told and will continue to tell my neighbors (who've brought all 3 of their cars to Jarmo's for 30 years that I know of) and anyone who asks... go to someone else. read more

This is a review based on several interactions with the business. After taking cars to my local mechanic in Waltham for years, I had to find somewhere closer to me after I moved. I went to the same place for over 15 years so I was hesitant to go anywhere else. I had the opportunity to talk to the owner, Bill, and got the impression he's honest and trustworthy. He told me his father started the business and his guys have been working there for years. You can see the shop from the desk and everything was neat and organized. As a fellow tradesman, this instantly put me at ease because for me, it's a sign of pride in your work. I had the brakes replaced on my truck and shortly after one of them started making noise. I called to tell him and he got me back in right away; it turned out to be a faulty part. I brought my old truck there a few times and never had a problem. I have a new truck now (under factory warranty) and plan to take it there for maintenance and anything not related to the warranty. Great shop! read more

Needed a quick service/oil change. Got exactly that. There's a McDs opposite and 30 mins later all done. I had an appointment after so, guys thanks. I have had other work done at Jarmos, they care and really take an effort to resolve the issues, I would not hesitate to go there or recommend to my friends. read more

Took car in for a check on alignment. I was told it was more than alignment and to take it back to my other mechanic. They could have done the work there and charged me but were honest to recommend my regular mechanic. Jarmo does alignments, mechanic doesnt read more

Good mechanics, honest work... Not only is the place handy, but I never worry that they're going to push unnecessary work. If you can negotiate the battlefield driveways and parking, it's well worth it. read more

We have been going here for over 10 years. They are the best. Get you in and out fast, no BS , fair prices and they are really nice people.

Our family has been using Jarmo Auto Repair for years and they're very courteous, professional and honest. We highly recommend their services. I recently was in town visiting and called to see if they could sneak me in as my mom's car had some trouble and without hesitation Bill took care of everything and even did more than we asked, as a professional courtesy. (Bill, you were a lifesaver) read more

Went in to get an estimate on an engine noise - turns out it was my turbo. The technician asked me to give him my contact information and he'd call me back. Stated he needed to "research" the turbo for my car - why.... I don't know. If it needs to be replaced, replace it. Said he would call, never called. I called and I asked for a follow up and was told they were busy and they'd call. Phone never rang on my end.... so I went somewhere else who did it for a lot cheaper and got the job done. If you don't want the business, just say so, or if you can't handle a job of that caliber?! read more

Incredible! I had a problem with a 2000 car which was difficult to repair. The repair also would have been very costly with dealer parts. The team of Jarmo's found a replacement part that would work on Ebay and stuck with fixing this despite a very kludgy set up in the design of the car when it would have been so much easier to either just say I needed the expensive original part or that it was too difficult to repair. Very fair pricing and courteous service. This is the best place I have ever gone to service a car. read more

I brought my car in to fix a loud noise my brakes were making plus an oil change. I pick my car up. The exact same noise. $251.00 later for a very expensive oil change. They tell me it's because the guy who did my brakes didn't use Toyota parts. Said the sound was normal. If that's the case why was I charged $251.00? Again, very expensive oil change. Been going here for years. Never again. read more

This crew is awesome. They're responsive to phone calls, provide prompt and excellent work, and at fair prices.

Good experience. Friendly guys, quick and reasonably priced. Car has never ran better!

I've gone to Jarmo's for close to 10 years and always recommend them to friends and family in the area! Being a female, I had been taken advantage of for my "knowledge" of car repairs/issues in the past. The Jarmo's crew are wonderful... Pat, Bob, all of them! They are reasonably priced, fair to us females, and they do great work! They don't play the game of fixing something when it doesn't need to fixed just to make money. They are honest, dependable and you will notice that there lot is usually always full. That speaks for itself! I can't say enough good things about Jarmo's Auto Repair! read more

Haven't lived in Maynard that long and the way they welcome me to the neighbor is with their ignorance and I still got the work done a few months later what they fixed started acting up and they rudely said to bring it in once I did they said that wasn't the problem it was something else but other opinions say it was what they fixed. It's a car place but there still should be manners and respect but what do you expect from staff when the owner Chris is the rudest of them all. This is my personal experience to each his own. I never post comments for a business good or bad but this place needs to learn respect. I was told from someone who grew up here this business was awesome until the father passed away sorry for you lost but don't take it out on us! read more

We had a a great experience. Faster, cheaper and done better than the dealer. I will only use them from now on. Don't let the building fool you. They are well respected by the other shops as well. When I was talking with another local mechanic he said nothing but good things about this third generation family business. read more

These guys are thorough, honest, and fairly priced. They do a nice job and are always consistent. Highly recommended. Jarmos is my go to repair shop. read more

I have to say that the folks at Jarmo's are the friendliest and most professional mechanics I have ever encountered. They take the time to explain what's wrong with the car and then go ahead and do an awesome job. They are also very reasonably priced. I've been going there for the past few years for the bigger jobs to avoid the high prices of a dealership and have always received great service. For us city folk, they are a little out of the way, but well worth the trip. read more

In my experience, this place is honest, friendly and price competitive, I once brought my Lexus there for what I thought was going to be an expensive repair...It was minor. My sister has become a recent fan. read more

Professional, friendly, reliable, and fast. I've taken our cars there for 8 years. They always give you an estimate before starting a job. The car always comes back fixed, usually the same day. They've never tried to sell me anything that wasn't needed. According to conventional wisdom about auto repair, this honest shop does not exist. But they do. Only in Maynard. read more

Honest, straightforward, reliable, friendly and may I repeat-- honest. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car (s),,have been going here for 14-15 years, and if a job seems as though it's going to be expensive, they always call first to get the go ahead...or even suggest that I could wait awhile--I think their prices are less expensive than other garages, and their work is superior. I totally trust them Plus, they're really nice people! Don't even consider another garage--just go here. read more

I gave them two chances. We recently moved to the area and I had them change my tires. I was charged $125 to change them (not new ones, just putting on my snow tires) when my prior garage charged me $75. I decided to give them a second try when my check engine light came on. This time they kept my car for two days, they charged me for the work and the part which is what I needed. They also charged me for two things I hadn't asked for - an oil change and to top off my windshield wiper fluid. They actually charged me to top off my fluid, which I didn't ask for since I have a jug at home at all times. I also spoke to the garage twice and neither the oil change or the fluid were mentioned either time. I will never go back. read more

Excellent, honest, quality and friendly service. No BS, just fair prices and integrity!

Very fair repair shop. They will not repair things that don't need repairing just to make a buck. Their work is very good, I always have my work done on my vehicles their. read more

I've been taking my cars to Jarmo's for about 8 years and I just can't say enough good things about the place. The shop is so clean you can eat off of the floor. The mechanics are smart and polite and they do great work! Bill runs the place (his Dad ran it before him) and he's a very nice guy. They're not "cheap," but their prices are very fair and certainly less than you'd pay at a dealership. I can only think of one or two times in 8 years when I experienced a problem with some work they did, but on those VERY rare occasions, they always made it right. FIVE STARS!! read more

Went here a few months ago - the crew was friendly. Big brake job, cost almost $1000 and took an hour longer than promised, but that happens. Here's the thing - they did not tighten the lugnuts on wheels before giving me back the car!!! I had to discover that along 495 a couple days later, after pulling over I could remove the bolts with my fingers. fortunately could tighten with emergency kit handwrench and got to garage at the next exit, but these guys were very close to a very substantial negligence lawsuit. read more

My emergency brake locked up in Maynard at 4:45pm on a Friday and I live 45 minutes away. I pulled up to their shop a few minutes later to see if they'd be able to unlock it so I could at least get home. The mechanic told me to come right in. I pulled in and they fixed my brake in about 15 minutes, right up until 5pm. I asked how much it would be and they said free. I gave him a $20 tip. Great people and very generous with their time. They saved me a lot of trouble. Highest recommendation. read more

Many thanks to all of Jarmos' capable and friendly staff for keeping our old cars running efficiently and safely for a number of years.

I've been going to Jarmo's for over 10 years and would never consider bringing my car anywhere else. They're talented, nice, honest and their pricing is fair. You can drop your car off in their lot in the evening and pick it up the next evening. If you live anywhere near Maynard, MA, Jarmo's is the place for car repairs. read more

Great mechanics. Fixed a problem that another shop in town botched. Did some heavy repair work like brakes and suspension. My car is not new and so far everything is holding up great. These guys really do use high quality parts, not the cheaper alternatives and perhaps in some jobs this really does make a difference (especially in suspension work I suppose for parts that see a lot of wear and tear). Their pricing reflects the quality of their work and price and is a bit higher than some other shops, but so far in my experience, it is totally worth it to pay extra and have it done right the first time. read more

I've been to Jarmo's several times now and had a positive experience each time. They are very fair, honest, and reasonably priced. The work is done promptly and they communicate well throughout the process. read more

A big "Thank You!" to the staff at Jarmo's for taking my little car in and keeping it safe during the recent blizzard while it waited for parts. Thank you also for the more than fair pricing on its subsequent brake job. We have brought our cars to Jarmo's for several years now and have always been happy with the quality of the service and professionalism of the staff. read more

I love Jarmo's. I was recommended Jarmo's by a friend and I'm so glad I came here. They were awesome and took care of me right away. Honest, fair and fast. I will come here whenever I need something done with my car. Thank you so much! read more

I can't begin to say enough positive things about these folks......I just had another extremely positive experience this morning. I'd had my car serviced there Friday which included rotating my tires.....everything was great as usual but my tire pressure light came on during Saturday and there was a bumping from the right front that morphed into a shimmy at higher speeds.....brought it in this morning for follow up, they found the dent in the wheel rim that didn't show up when it was in the back - they re-rotated my tires and re-balanced, explained everything and refused to charge me anything, even for labor, which I offered.......and the dent was not their fault in the least, caused by the bigger and better pot-holes created this lovely Winter.......car is driving stellar at this point. They're honest, scrupulous, take pride in their work and truly respect their customers. Their prices are very reasonable, they do a terrific job, they're very communicative and they are honest and honorable. You can't' go wrong with these guys, best mechanics I've ever dealt with (and I'm not young). read more
