“HONESTY - I have a trauma. Throughout my life I have taken my cars to mechanics who overcharged me. Those were bad experiences. Although I never returned to them, they left me with the feeling that I cannot trust mechanics and that they will always take advantage of me. The people at Good News Garage give me the feeling that they are treating me with respect and being fair and honest. I will come back. The Golden Rule comes to mind: “Do to others what you want them to do to you.””

“These guys very kindly stayed open a few minutes late to do my inspection. They were fast and the price is much better than other people in the area. While I was waiting I chatted with a customer who's been coming here for 40 years to get his car fixed. He had nothing but incredible things to say, and i will definitely
be coming here next time I need any work done on my car.”

“Vahe is an outstanding mechanic who goes above and beyond. He takes care of your car as if it were his own, paying attention to every detail. If there’s ever something outside his scope, he doesn’t leave you hanging; he refers you to the right places and makes sure you’re in good hands. I really appreciate his honesty, fair pricing, and clear communication. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and trustworthy in this field. I’ll definitely keep coming back and recommend Vahe’s Garage to anyone looking for reliable service.”

“I had a great experience at Nick’s Service Station. I brought my car in for multiple issues, including brake repair, power steering problems, and an oil change, and everything was handled efficiently and professionally.
The team was knowledgeable, honest, and took the time to explain what needed to be done without making me feel pressured. The work was completed in a timely manner, and my car has been running smoothly ever since.
Gerson is a great worker—professional, helpful, and clearly takes pride in his work.
It’s not always easy to find a mechanic you can trust, but this place definitely earned my confidence. I highly recommend Nick’s Service Station to anyone in the Cambridge area looking for reliable and quality auto service.”
“A mom-pop-son family shop. Been coming here for inspection and some regular maintenance, and it's been reliable, and pretty quick service. Reasonable prices, right about what I'd expect from an independent shop in the area.
Language could be a bit of a challenge if the son is not in, but nothing a little patience couldn't solve.”

“Love this place— Tony has saved me more times than I can count. Most recently, he saved me thousands of dollars after a dishonest garage told me I needed $7500 worth of work— Tony assured me that aside from a few minor issues, the car was fine. Staff has always been kind, honest, professional. Prices are more than fair. Definitely recommend.”

“My friend recommended me Sun Auto, a lovely local family-owned business when I moved to Boston in 2017. I am so thankful to her. During the last five years, whenever I visited Sun Auto, they not only inspected or fixed my car perfectly but also very kindly took care of my needs. For example, when I had to replace my battery, the owners did so at a cheper price by utilizing the warranty, which I wasn't even aware that I had. This year I broke part of my car by running into the garage wall, and they kindly did the research for the price to help me decide whether I should use my insurance or not. After calling everywhere and calculating everything to print the numbers on the paper, they recommended me to use my insurance, despite that it meant that I had go to another Auto Shop designated by the insurance company. They also went beyond the boundary of their responsibility and helped me to figure out how to quickly get my car decal and registration, which I lost in the mailing process and etc. The owners are Korean, which means that they have excellent skills and work ethics, proven by the consistent honesty, diligence, and sincerety that I have seen for the last five years. I also love that Sun Auto is authorized to do the yearly inspection required by MA that I can take care of other maintenance issues and the inspection together. Another great pro to me is their location. They are located at the outskirt of Cambridge but it will not take too much time to get there because they are right next to Fresh Pond Parkway. Being slightly out of the busy center of Cambridge, Sun Auto has plenty of parking space, different from other body shops that I occasionally explored in other parts of Cambridge. Parking is always a nightmare in the city, especially when the body shop is full, so I personally find that I can park my car without being nervous is a big plus. Additionally there is a nice park right next to the shop that I can enjoy a walk or play with my phone as I wait for the car to be fixed. There is also a beautiful urban nursery around the corner that you can also enjoy the flowers and plants and do some impulse buying as you wait. There are PetCo, Whole Foods, and Staples within 5 min walking distance, which can also be a great way to spend time as you wait for the car. If you have time you can even explore the Fresh Pond which is also in 5 min walking distance. The owner will kindly call you when the car is ready. There is an Enterprise Rent-A-Car right next to Sun Auto, which I guess some people would find convenient if your care will need more time. In sum, I have been a customer of Sun Auto for the last 5 years and I am completely happy with their wonderful services. Honestly I am writing this review because I feel personally thankful to them for very kindly taking care of my various needs over the last five years and especially this year. My car is getting old and I drove very rarely as I worked from home during the pandemic, which is causing all sorts of problems. The owners have been always very friendly and nice despite I bothered them with so many small things... My car is well ready for commute now and I am so thankful. Isn't it proof of great service by itself that a lazy person like me feel so thankful and motivated to write such a long review?”
“I have had great experiences with Memorial Drive Mobil, both for routine state inspections as well as replacing my car's alternator. They are friendly, reliable, and efficient! I love how welcoming they are to walk-ins.”
“We have railroad ties on one side of our driveway, and while backing up, I managed to pull off one side of a front bumper on a Mini Cooper. Danny and the folks at Hi-Tech Auto Body ccame highly recommended by my Mini dealer service department, and I can see why. They were great, allowed me to drop off my car on a Friday, and had it back to me the following Wednesday - even with a hidden broken part that needed extra time to get. Even better than it was before my little mistake!”

“Everyone I interacted with was friendly. Mike, I particular, was incredibly helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and quick. Unsolicited, he helped attach my license plate. I strongly recommend Broadway Gas Automotive Car Care and will definitely be back for any/all auto needs.”
“I live nearby and love this place. I have been going there for more than 10 years for gas and service and they have been always been courteous, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. They have sometimes pointed out things that might need to be taken care of at some point in the future without ever pressuring me to get those things taken care of ASAP.”
“Stopped there with an extremely low tire that another driver had alerted me to. The worker looked at the tire when I was about to fill it, said I probably had a nail, and then checked it and patched it for me. Saved my day! Price charged was affordable.”

“I pulled up to the pump and sat for a moment and someone came out to pump my gas. I immediately said oh sorry, I’ll pump, it’s cold and rainy. And after a few “are you sures?” I said yes absolutely!
I starting pumping and another man ran out and said “do you have diesel?!” And I shook my head yes immediately.
He stood outside with me while I pumped and then Moved onto talking with a new visitor.
Beyond this man’s caring gesture to make sure I wasn’t pumping the wrong gas, you could tell he had the kindest way about him. I could have stayed and chatted with him.
Thank you for adding to my Cambridge visit!”
“Did great work on my Lexus NX. Was due for new spark plugs, oil change and tire rotation and they had it all done within hours. Much cheaper compared to what a dealership would’ve charged. Will be bringing my car here from now on.”
