I decided to take his advice and I, along with my vehicle, were taken to this location. Even though it was obvious that they had a full schedule, they took me in quickly and diagnosed the problem. Unfortunately it was the fuel pump. That didn't surprise me because I had noticed on my long drive some symptoms that might be a problem but was hoping to make it home before it failed. Since the fuel pump is in the gas tank on my vehicle it was a long and tedious repair so I spent most of the afternoon at the shop. I had the chance to talk with some locals that brought their cars in for repair. They all spoke highly of the guys working at the shop. When it was finally repaired, I drove off leaving my computer bag behind which I didn't notice until I was arriving home in New Hampshire. Unfortunately again, I hadn't given them my cell phone number but my home number. When I arrived home I found out that the guys from the shop had been trying frantically to get me to let me know I left the computer behind. I had a trip the next day to the general area, so it wasn't too far out of my way to swing by and pick up my laptop. They had secured it in the office and had it waiting for me. I have to say that I appreciated them taking me in unexpectedly and getting me back on the road as quickly as possible. They worked diligently on my vehicle and the price for the work was reasonable. I can only say that if I lived closer, I would have all my vehicle work done here. The manager here is a great guy and I appreciate his help.

Excellent service! They helped my step dad with a flat tire even though they were closed!read more

Look no further---last auto repair shop you will ever need…read more This year, amidst a pandemic no less, Stebbins met all of my automotive needs that cropped up, minimized expenses for me whenever possible, and delivered excellent care. Having performed a variety of services for me, big and small, from a full brake job and electrical work, to oil changes and tire checks (on my car and my motorcycle), I couldn't have found a better place to bring my vehicle. I am so thankful to have discovered a local shop that I can trust, that does competent work, and goes the extra mile. The owner, Will Stebbins, truly goes out of his way for his customers, and has made a lifelong customer---and friend incidentally---out of me. He and his staff are courteous, diligent, and knowledgeable, as well as proficient at what they do. You will not regret trusting their expertise for your needs. As I said--look no further. Highly recommend!

Our son is attending college near Southbridge and was experiencing an oil leak on his Jetta. Our son did some research and found himself at Stebbins. He was greeted with professionalism and kindness from Frankie who then referred him to Will to look at his car. After looking at the car extensively he showed our son the possible problems with the issue. Since our son is unfamiliar with automotive repair he reached out to us to let us know that the car would need repair. Since we are 3,000 miles away we called Stebbins. Will graciously took extensive time to explain to us what he found in his troubleshooting and assured us he would take good care of our son and if there were any issues he would take his time to ensure our son was safe and all was repaired efficiently and affordable. They took excellent care of the car and our son and continue to help our son with all his automotive needs. Frankie has also gone above and beyond to educate us "Texans" on how our son's car can run safely in extreme snow/icy weather. This business is top notch and trustworthy. We are very thankful for their service and support.

I had the car towed to Sullivan Tire in Sturbridge. They diagnosed it as needing a fuel pump and fuel pump module. They were installed but still there were new codes popping up. They decided to use GM parts instead of after market ones. That did the trick. The car started and is running fine. Apparently, my car is picky. I applaud the mechanics for pursuing the problem and finally repairing the car. They kept me apprised of what was going on each step of the way. The other great thing is that they have a shuttle that picked me up. These people gave me fantastic customer service. Thank you, one and all.

We called Toyota Care for help. We wound up waiting 3 hours for a tow, but the people at Steve's allowed us to use the lot and the restrooms while we waited. After a ridiculous amount of a wait, Brenda, in the office called the tow company that we were waiting for, and "shook them up". Within 20 minutes the tow showed up. While we were waiting we saw the great body work that they were doing on cars. I would trust these people to work on my car any time. I can't express our appreciation for he kindness we received from the staff at Steve's.

Jason was extremely kind, ran the codes to diagnose our issue, and provided us with a full report, including potential options we could take -- all within 10 minutes and without charging us a single cent! He closed up shop while we were sitting in the parking lot waiting for a tow to take us to a dealership, and before leaving, he stopped by our car to double check we were okay before he left for the night. What a gentleman! Our experience couldn't have been better! If you ever have a need with your car, I highly recommend John's Auto Service!

I had four snow tires on rims swapped out with four summer tires, also on rims, and they also topped up the tire pressure. The next day, I noticed a warning light for low tire pressure, but didn't think much of it b/c the tire pressure monitors sometimes get fluky after a tire change. A couple of days later, I got a dashboard warning "TIRE NEEDS AIR NOW." When I went to fill the tire in question though, the valve was bent and half broken. So after the holiday weekend, I was able to limp back to the shop with the nearly flat tire, told the supervisor guy what happened and got the valve replaced. Unfortunately, I did not have the receipt for the original work when the valve got broken, so I went back the next day with the receipt. I was stunned when they refused to take responsibility for the cracked valve, although I explained to the guy in charge that they had been the last folks to touch the valve before I discovered that it was broken. He was dismissive, told me I should have brought it back sooner, claimed the tire couldn't possibly have held any air for a week, and insinuated that I had somehow broken the valve, essentially calling me a liar. I'm pissed. As I said, I had been taking my car there for years, BUT THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN AN HONEST BUSINESS. It cost me $124 because they refused to admit their screwup and sought to blame me instead. Anyone want to be next?

They recommended an excellent auto body shop when I had an accident, and even their recommendations are spot on! As other reviewers have said, they always look over the car and let you know if they find problems. They don't fix anything unless they talk to you first, and they fix problems fast so you have your car back quickly. These aren't just the best mechanics in town. These are the best mechanics I've ever encountered. They've never told me there was a problem that wasn't there. Never upped my bill, or added new charges.

I, as well as my Husband have been going to Five Star Automotive for years. I fully trust Scott's work. He is one of very few honest to goodness business owners who can be trusted. He does good business and has a great team working for him. His competitive pricing is amazing too! I never have to worry about my vehicles I have taken to him. He has helped us out so many times. He's got a great big heart. We're the average poor family these days with kids and he has given us breaks because had we gone anywhere else we would have been paying a heck of a lot more. He does great things for people and our community. I am forever grateful for him. I don't ever want to take any vehicle I own to anyone else. What Scott says is 100% trusted and there is no better place! He's a busy guy and it can take a while to get in for service. But often times I will drop my vehicle off on a Sunday night and be ready to come get it a day or two later. And that's quite alright with me!! They have been really good to us. All great people. Friendly and I swear I could give them all a hug. We tell everyone we see to go to Scott. It's not just about business for Scott, he gives his all and he cares about people. It truly is a fantastic business! You must go to 5 star! We love them!!!
