Dependable. Knowledgeable. A LOCAL TREASURE. Check this out...My wife and I passed through Ipswich…read morewith our toddler in tow having driven cross country from California to visit my mom in Great Neck. Annoyingly, we'd picked up a nail in a tire while passing though New York and had replaced it, but knew we needed to get all the tires checked before hitting the road back to California. JOHN'S TO THE RESCUE. Not only did John detect the direness of our tire's worn-down state, but he managed to acquire the replacement tires needed at a reasonable price, and squeeze us in to have the car ready the next morning, thus assuring we could get back on the road to California on the safest tires possible and on schedule. John and his wife are generous, professional, and all around lovely people. I wish we had them out here in Los Angeles because I'd take my car there every time. John really provides the kind of personalized service that puts a warm face and a hearty laugh on a small town like Ipswich, MA, and let's his customers drive away feeling safer and happy. A class act. I look forward to returning soon!

Our minivan was on the brink of disaster last Monday morning . My steering wheel was shaking so badly, I knew that I could not wait another minute to get repaired. Who do we all call to reverse the damage that our negligence causes? You know it: get JJ Gianakakis at John's Auto in Ipswich, Massachusetts on the phone! I knew my request was nearly impossible, but I told JJ my problem. He directed me to drop my van off immediately at his shop. Within an hour, JJ diagnosed a significant issue that could've been fatal. I needed new tires... like, three months ago! I figured that JJ would have my van in his shop for a couple of days, if not longer... but my pain was self-inflicted, so I would suffer the inconvenience of going without a vehicle to get my problems fixed by JJ. He moved mountains to get the four new tires. He also expertly repaired a heater problem I have been battling for more than a year. And to help me get my life in order, JJ quickly hooked me up with a long-overdue oil change. Within the span of 12 hours, JJ's wizardry got my car repaired and back on the road to hockey practice at 6:30 PM. How many business owners anticipate your needs? John Gianakakis is an expert -- responsive, honorable, and simply indispensable in our Ipswich community. THANK YOU, J!

This was rather surprising as there were no indications of a problem and my car is relatively new. So I went to another mechanic that I trust to have it checked out and he told me there was nothing wrong with the car. He also told me that he sees more and more people coming in after getting their oil checked by Cousins and being told they need all sorts of work done. I also told an acquaintance about my experience and he told me that his mechanic says the same thing - people come in crying because Cousins told them all sorts of things were wrong with their cars and he checks and finds it not true.

It was an older car and I never considered having the engine replaced but the technician reminded me of a recall on my vehicle that I forgot all about, having to do with the engine. They let me keep my car in their lot for about a month with no charge while I tried to work out replacement with the dealer. On another occasion they helped me this winter when my other car started to rattle like crazy after the back to back snow storm. They brought my car into their garage and let it warm up so they could remove snow caked inside the wheel wells. I got an oil change at the same time and they only charged me for that and provided me with a loaner for no charge! Highly recommend this business that takes care of their customers above and beyond compared to most mechanics I have dealt with, absolute 5 star rating!
