Service almost killed myself, my S/O, and our unborn baby. Do NOT go here!!…read more My significant other had work completed on her car completed 6/13/25, in which they replaced the rear calipers. Her mother brought it in and told them she wanted them to fix any issues as she is pregnant with our child and wanted to ensure the vehicles safety. On 7/27/25, while we were driving we heard what sounded like rock hitting the bottom of the car over and over as we drove up a hill. When going down the back side of the hill, we hit the brakes to slow down only to have the car not slow at all. Luckily, we were on a slower road at this time and were able to roll to a stop on a hill and put the vehicle in park. Upon inspecting the car, we saw that the rear passenger caliper was dangling down and that the piston had shot out. I am grateful that we are alive as we had just gotten off of the freeway a few minutes before this happened. We had to tie up the caliper to be towed, and are currently having pep boys fix our car and replacing the caliper and brake pads, which had just been replaced a month ago. Do not go to this location.

Extreme Truck & Auto offer "Extreme Service". My wife's…read morebattery died and I called Auto stores and multiple garages to change out the battery on her Ford Escape where the battery is up underside vent area. I was told it's a tough job and no one could help us for at least 5-6 days out. I then called Extreme and the lady that answered the phone couldn't have been any nicer She got us in the very next morning with assurances that they could get the job done. We brought the car in and the owner Sean took us in and told us they'd have the vehicle done ASAP and call when it was ready. Then while waiting to leave an elderly gentleman came in to get service and was a bit stressed about getting the car done so he could take his wife to an appointment....Sean the owner gave the gentleman assurance that his car would be ready with plenty of time to make his appointment. This is a very large repair shop and appears to be well set up. A few hours later Stacy called that our car was ready. We got there to pick our car and was blown away by the very Extremely reasonable cost. I even questioned it! I couldn't be any happier with the both service and cost. This had to be one of the best experiences dealing with auto repairs. We highly recommend Extreme Truck and Auto for your vehicle service needs and we will now use them for our auto needs.

Although there's a different owner, the same friendly staff is still there. They treat you like family and always call you about every little thing before they touch your car. Finding honesty can be tough, but you will definitely find it here. They truly value your business, and it shows. I've only taken my car here, and I learned the hard way when I didn't. I said, 'No, it's going back to where it belongs,' and now it drives wonderfully.

What impressed me most was his dedication--I arrived at 5:15 PM to pick it up, and Todd stayed late just to walk me through exactly what the problem was and why it happened.

I am pretty sure my car is haunted due to how frequently it breaks down…read more I thought this time it was done for good, but alas, I brought it to Baron's and got a quick diagnostic and a quick but efficient fix! He didn't try to sell me anything additional, fixed my car lickity split, and did a fine job (to the best of my knowledge!) Great little garage. I also needed an oil change after the fact but he was too busy, so he went next door to K&E (?) for me and asked them to do it. What service!

A month or so before I moved away from Glousta for the southern north shore, my irritation with my…read moreCorolla came to a head - starter issues; I had to jiggle the stick, sometimes a lot, while it was in park to get the damned thing to turn over. Believe me, there's nothing crappier than sitting in the Manchester-by-the-Sea train lot on a cold April night trying to get your econobox to get its ass in gear. So I took it to Baron's, got it fixed quickly for a fair price - $200 for the starter, $85 labor. Starting my car is no longer an adventure. If you live in Gloucester, Baron's is the place to take your car for repair. Word.

These folks are the best--kind, professional, and they get it done! I'd go back in a heartbeat.read more

I took my Tesla to Advanced Technologies to install a suspension upgrade. The other reviewer said…read moreit perfectly when he said Lee and his team were very transparent about their business. He explained what they were going to do and then he and Chris got to work and got it done quickly, keeping me updated along the way, explaining how the new suspension worked, etc. Lee even came with me on a test drive to make sure I was happy with the results (which I was). When it came time to pay, he laid out exactly what they did and why they needed to do that- which was super refreshing and not something I was used to at other garages. Such a positive experience all around, I would highly recommend them if you live on the Northshore and need work done on your car.
