Ming's Auto Repair is a humble shop nestled in the neighborhood right in Allston--between Cory and Ming they do a great job on the cars that they work on.They even work with their customers to get the best parts (i.e. whether they are willing to help me save money by bringing my own parts)! That means they're not just a business and what they care most about is a job well done and that is one of the first things I look for in a Mechanic.There's just a couple of caveats; they don't do Vehicle Inspections and Ming doesn't work on Trucks and other large passenger vehicles!Services: Tires

Friendly, courteous, detail explanations of what options are available upon examination of the car during tuneup on a 2013 Honda CRV. I was able to discuss and choose what needed immediate care and repair and what could be acted upon six months from now. That’s great service in my opinion.Services: Auto engine diagnostic

Ming and Cory were both excellent to deal with. They’ve assessed two of my cars and I’m grateful I found a shop who will be honest and straight forward, without taking advantage of the customer. Their communication is excellent, and their knowledge of German cars is impressive. I feel confident having them close by, and know they will guide me through the repair process with consideration for fair pricing, fair assessments and my personal needs. Thank you to Ming and Cory, if anything happens to my cars I will come see you.

Ming not only did great work on my nearly 10-year old Range Rover Sport, he clearly and thoroughly explained what needed to be done. He is patient and honest and very easy to work with. His office manager Cory is also super helpful.Service: Steering & suspension replacement

The shop gave me good suggestions to consider for alternative tires that were cheaper, but I went with the expensive ones anyway (well, I love my Dodge Charger). Allowed me to shop the tires myself and ship them to the shop. Took good care of my car as if one of his relatives was going to be driving it (no, we're not related). Ming knows all five of the cars I've owned since 1984 and I trust him to take good care of whatever I'm driving.Services: Tires

Ming and Cory are great. They do a thorough checkup on the vehicle and let you know what work is recommended and what is optional. They are clear about the prices up front so you know what you are paying for. I am happy with their work and communication!

My car was going through it before I brought it in. They checked everything for me and charged a fair price. They are very honest about what should be done and what is optional. Definitely will be making this my regular go to shop.

Had a lovely experience. Ming was able to see me the next day and was very open to helping me understand what was wrong with my car. Highly recommend!

I’m so glad to have found Ming and his team! They helped replace the starter and did some general service on my car. Everyone knows how hard it is to find a reliable and upfront mechanic. I really appreciated the communication around the repair process and costs. His team was friendly and professional which I really appreciated. I will certainly continue to bring my mini cooper back to Ming’s from now on.

A bit overcharging! I replaced my thermostat there. They charged over 1000+ dollars, but another place only charges 700+.In addition, my car comes back with another issue. Cannot trust this business. I will never come back again.

I have been taking my vehicles to Ming's for almost a decade. I highly recommend them based on their transparency during the diagnostic, estimate and finished repair process. Prices are affordable and they will present alternative options if they are available.Two thumbs upServices: Exhaust

I had an absolutely awful experience here. My car was towed here since my radiator was leaking engine coolant and I needed that repaired. Everything was going fine and I was given my quote of $1,035 for labor + parts. I agreed to the price and shortly after I was given that quote, I was told that my AC compressor had been broken by one of the mechanics who used too much force and broke it.I was asked how to proceed so I said "If you want to make it up to me, fix the AC for free" and I went back and forth with Cory for about twenty minutes with him repeating "well we didn't mean to break it" as if that makes me feel better that I am now liable for another $1,000 repair that was not necessary before bringing it to the shop.After I asked them to fix the AC, they refused saying that "it could lead to other things breaking" which felt like a cop out after breaking my AC.Overall, I would not recommend and would urge others to look somewhere else for a reliable and responsible mechanic.

Ming has always been honest and efficient with any work I’ve come to him with. Before even owning a car (and the first time I came to him), he was willing go check it out and told me exactly what was a fair price for what I was getting and what to ask for prior to purchase from the seller. Most recently, my catalytic converter was stolen and he was able to replace it incredibly efficiently… once the part actually came in. Cory also helped me locate a part, which was immensely helpful. I’m so happy I found these folks and appreciate their care and the speed at which they execute it.
