Barbosa & Son Auto Repair

(45 reviews)

I have been to this shop (now Xpert, under different management) four times to complete RI State…read moreInspection. Each time the experience has been great - the shop team completes service in a timely manner and communicates well. I have not sought them out for deeper repair or maintenance service, but if I was looking for an independent shop this is one of the first places I would turn.

To be frank, I think Barbosa & Son is a nice establishment. As a newcomer to Providence, I brought…read moremy car here for an oil change and an out-of-state inspection. Both times I was treated with respect and found the prices for both of those things to be reasonable. My oil change was around $60 and the inspection was around $30. I also had my air filter and cabin air filter replaced when they completed my oil change. They, however, allowed leaves to drop into my cabin air filter so when ever my AC unit was turned on my car made a rattling sound from the air blowing pass the leaves. Anyone who owns a car knows how mind-boggling any random car sound could be so that really initiated my return to the establishment. I wanted them to 1) remove the leaves that they allowed fall into the filter holder 2) replace an expired head bulb and 3) check to see why the head bulb expired so quickly after having recently changed it. Yesterday I dropped my car off to have my high beam changed ($24) and for them to just look at my car because I was preparing to drive back down to NC the following week. The owner/mechanic called me and told me that my car was 4K miles shy from needing new spark plugs and quoted me $200 for them. I did ask him to check the spark plugs/fuses because my headlight was just replaced last year with the highest quality bulb and U found it strange for its lifespan to have ended so soon. After speaking with the owner/mechanic, I told him that I'd wait for the spark plugs because I knew that my grandfather in NC could replace them for a third of the price. Today I picked up my car and my total was $124. They charged me $100/hour for my "road test inspection". The road inspection included: reviewing my spark plugs (which they did not change) and removing the leaves from the cabin air filter. I'll make an assumption that they checked the oil (which they changed only a few weeks ago) and other fluids (which are normally checked during oil changes). All that to say, no one 1) told me there was a $100/hour fee for labor, 2) common business courtesy would reveal that you shouldn't charge a patron for a mistake you made (leaves in the filter), and lastly, checking spark plugs doesn't cost $100. I actually prefer to help small businesses, but hidden costs and refusing to be upfront with customers is why individuals visit commercial shops for all of their car services. Although Barbosa's has a nice establishment, I'm afraid that their communication with the customer and transparency about their pricing and process is a bit lackluster and outdated. I'll probably never visit the establishment again, but future patrons should be aware. And to be even more honest, finding any decent and honorable car shop in Providence is even more of a joke than it should be.

Decent service at above average prices. I don't like the fact that they only work with their parts…read morewhich are overpriced. They also gave me a mis-diagnosis recently of about $450 which I solved somewhere else for $80. I have taken my cars here for oil changes and new tires which they have done a decent job with. Best mechanic here is Joe. Squeezed me in towards the end of the day (I do appreciate their long hours) and did an inspection which failed for missing registration stickers, gave me a break to run home and get them and send me on my way with my new inspection. So 3 out of 5 is about right!

From the moment I walked into the store, Erik had an issue with me. He has no decorum when talking…read morewith guests and automatically jumps to defensiveness. Context: I wake up with a flat tire. I call Firestone to see if they can take care of it so that I can get to work. I am told they can and that it wouldn't take long. When I get there, Im told it's going to take hours, which I couldn't do because of work. I end up leaving the tire for them to work on and set an appointment for the next day. when I arrive the next day, simply to put a tire on, for which I have an appointment, I am told it's going to take at least an hour. I am surprised because I have an appointment and while I'm not a mechanic, I imagine a tire change to be relatively quick compared to other issues they deal with. Again, Erik pulls an attitude. I am grateful to the other employee, Dylan, who stepped in to mitigate the situation, but this experience felt demoralizing and unnecessarily rude. I would suggest going down the road half a mile to Pep Boys instead if you're in a crunch.
