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.

They had kept me in the loop on every detail as the day went on, but then...when I was expecting to pick up my car on the day before Christmas, they called me.

You should be weary of getting your car serviced there, for the probability that an unexpected…read morecircumstance could develop. Young person (Coby), along with her mother, standing behind the counter is nice until you, a customer, have paid the bill and realized they damaged the side panel of your car beneath the front passenger door--right where the car is put on lift. First it was the denial that it could not happen in their garage. If you insisted that the small dent looking fresh and was not there until you pulled in; and requested that they acknowledged it could have happened in their garage. To no avail, you leave and directly go to a body shop to find out if the damage was new and could be caused as the car was put on the lift. With the preliminary estimate of the damage, almost $1,200.00, and the verification by the bodyshop that it could very likely happen as the garage put the car on lift, you return to East Coast Tire and show the young person and mother the estimate and convey the bodyshop's assessment. The young person suddenly and unexpectedly becomes irate and, with a foming mouth, repeatedly asks you in the foulest language to leave; and with a quick jurky motion and his stature advances towards you. As you hold your position, the mother attempts to hold back Coby. They then call Gloucester Police to have you be removed from the premises. Now, you humiliated with a big knot in your stomach end up with no option left other than seeking an arduous, yet uncertain legal action.

I recently purchased two tires from Sullivan Tire in Rochester NH. The tire technician at this…read morelocation put the wrong tires on. I have staggered tires for my Mercedes GLE 350 which means the front tires are a different size than the back tires. The technician moved the back (larger) tires to the front and put the new smaller tires in the rear. When I called back a day later after I noticed this, the Rochester Manager said this could cause a big problem and that I should not drive the car. I was two hours away from Rochester now! I called the Gloucester store and they took me right away and fixed everything - free of charge! I would like to thank Dave Rogers and Andrew of the Gloucester store!

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".

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.

These guys go above and beyond in ways that any other auto repair place has done for me on the Island of Cape Ann.

And I have been treated with the utmost respect and caring as a senior citizen, on a fixed income, in my retirement.
