“Came in with my 01 Honda crv to change my ball joints thinking they needed to be changed however the mechanic was very upfront and honest with me and told me I did not need to change them and showed me there was no play. Appreciate them first time coming here and will definitely be back for honesty!!!”
“I have a 2012 tsx, it went through 5-6 different shops who couldn’t diagnose a shake while accelerating. I heard about this shop from a friend, they are very communicative, extremely nice, and very fair on pricing. They finally put an end to the ordeal that took up months of my time and fixed my car. I will only work with these guys from here on out. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!”
“I’ve trusted A/C Auto with my vehicle for over three years, and they continue to exceed my expectations every single time. The team is professional, honest, and truly cares about their customers. It’s rare to find a shop that delivers consistent quality and great service, but A/C Auto does exactly that.
Huge thank you to the entire team—you’ve earned my loyalty. Highly recommended, and make sure to follow them on TikTok as well.”
“100% recommended. Everyone was super nice and they did great work. I needed work done last minute and they were able to find a way to fit me in that day. I will be returning here for any work I need done moving forward.”
“I can't recommend this place enough! This is my second time here, and once again Fran was the best. I had a nail in my tire and the only time I could stop by was right before closing. Fran had me in and out in less than 15 minutes and only cost $20. This is the only place I will take me car.”
“Took my Corvette to Herb Chambers 3 times for the engine misfiring..After the 3rd visit they told me it was the transmission and to take it to a transmission mechanic in Wakefield. Within 1 hr the transmission place told me it was fine. Took it to essex County auto repair. They did a tune up in one day. Car runs like new and they did it at a excellent price. The dealership should be embarrassed,they couldn't fix the car. They had it for 3 weeks.. can't say enough about essex, thank u for fixing my car.”
“Absolutely wonderful service! I will come back if I have any new issues with my car.
I have only been driving a car for a year, so all kinds of car problems are new and sometimes scary to me. This morning started with my car giving me a notification that I had an issue with tires. I found this service on the map as it is close and hoped for the best, as my usual Mazda service is too far away. They checked out all my tires and helped me, even though usually they don't do tire issues. I am so grateful. Thank you so much!”

“Our 2020 Chrysler Pacifica needed a transmission valve body replacement. The dealership where we purchased the vehicle sent to the car to FNA. Due to the extended warranty causing delays (no fault of FNA) they had our car for a few weeks. During that time FNA was extremely apologetic and kept us informed every step of the way. Even though the delay was not FNA's fault they covered the warranty deductible AND delivered the car to us.
I highly, very highly recommend this shop. These days customer service this excellent is hard to find. 5 stars is not adequate to rate these guys. The best repair shop we've ever dealt with by far.”

“My car 10 year old started to suddenly make a loud noise like rocks rolling around under the car somewhere. I checked the tools that came with the car and the spare tire thinking that something had come loose. After three days I decided to look for a mechanic on Yelp. This shop had the best ratings, and, deservedly so. I dropped the car off in the afternoon, received a comprehensive computerized analysis of current and potential problems. The shocks and struts in the rear of the car were replaced by early the following afternoon. Totally professional and super friendly!”
“Kevin is absolutely the best. I have a collection of clunky toys (2004,2008,2015) toyota, hyundai and mercury grande marque and he takes care of all of them quickly, with ease and at a price point that makes me comfortable. I've yet to see a problem he can't fix and trust me I have A LOT.”
“I started bringing my car here about 2 years ago and the price, responsiveness, and quality of work are outstanding. My 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee has reached an age where it's needing repairs more frequently and I am more reliant on service to keep it running well, Rt 1 Auto is my go-to service provider now. If they offered state inspections, I'd only go to them for my auto needs.”
“My poor prius has 212,000 miles on it and the mice got into it and have had lunch on my wires. But these guys persevere they find the problem and they do their best for me every time and I could not Ask for more than that, many thank youse to you guys at Spg!!!”
“The best repair shop in the area. I take all of my vehicles here and I am 30 miles away. It is worth the extra drive. Elliel is honest , trustworthy and skilled. I have used him for over 15 years and I recommend him highly. Try him out. You will wish you went here sooner.”
“The guys over at usa speedy took care of an exhaust problem that three other shops turned me down for. They banged it out in a couple hours and did a great job. Gerardo was of great assistance. All the guys here
seem very helpful. Thank you.”
“I was told by 2 other local mechanics that I needed over $1k of work on my Mini Cooper. Mini wanted $275 just to diagnose the problem. A friend told me to go see Jason at Paradise Auto Service. At first Jason gave me the name of someone in Marblehead who works on BMW's & Minis and while I was still in his lot calling them, he came over to my car and asked me to pull it in because he thought he knew what it might be. It was exactly what he thought it was. He ordered the part & put it in the following day. I’ve sent several people to them since. All were equally happy. This was a year ago & I don’t remember the exact amount I paid but I know the part, including labor was less than $100. ?”
“Eddie and his team are absolutely Amazing! I have been going here for a little over 3 years now, if not more. By far the best place to get your vehicle fixed. Fair prices, honest workers, very helpful. Eddie always makes sure to let me know what needs to be done, with a fair price. He's very patient with me as I get extremely nervous when my truck breaks down. He and his team are amazing people, you don't get that nowadays! Thank you BBC Auto for all your hard work and honesty! I recommend your place to everyone!”
“They say, “ Nothing in life is easy.”
Well, my experience at Rick’s Auto Collision begs to differ with that statement.! From the minute I left my vehicle, I was treated with courtesy, warmth, and efficiency. The paperwork was all ready when I arrived. I signed a couple of forms and away I went! The collision repair was done promptly, even earlier than I expected, and the repair work restored my vehicle to the way it looked when I first purchased it! My vehicle was impeccably clean, backed into a spot for easy exit from the lot and restored to its original beauty. I am impressed at the attention to detail that differentiates a good business from a superb one. I highly Rick’s Auto Collision.

“If you’re looking for a mechanic who does quality work, explains things in plain language, and actually cares about the end result, this is the place. I’ll absolutely be coming back for future maintenance and upgrades, and I’d recommend them to anyone without hesitation.”
“Absolutely our new automotive place to go. Upon my first interaction with Rita, I already knew that we would be in good hands. Jamie is super respectful and more than willing to take a minute and walk us through the repairs etc. Our newly licensed driver had a flat tire one week and the following we needed a new bumper. The work was perfect. Quick, no frills and didn't kill our pocket. I would absolutely recommend this shop.”
“After my car ran rough a couple of times, a local garage told me my car had a problem with its transmission. They wanted to work on it, but I took the car to Creedon's instead. After his examination and testing of the car, I got a call from the owner who told me there was nothing wrong with my car. There was no charge for their inspection or his time. After several days of smooth driving, I realize now that the rough ride I experienced prior to bringing in for service is gone. I want to commend Creedon's for their honesty and for their friendly service.Service: Transmission”

“I took my car to this shop because my ABS and traction control lights were on - they took a look at it and noticed that my front left strut had broken as well. They physically showed me everything that needed repairs, we set up an appointment, and they fixed everything in one day. They even replaced a bulb that was out and didn't charge for labor. I talked to Will and Miguel and they were both awesome.”
“He is kind he is HONEST and experienced. There have been many times Al has told me that the work was not what could have made him much more money. He's a person of order and integrity. Very detailed in his work. I highly suggest using his services.”

“I rolled in on a Saturday morning with a leaky tire and they fixed it and got me on my way in no time at all and with no hassle. Great to have a place like this in the neighborhood.”
“I'll never go anywhere else again except here. They are very honest and show you everything. Always trust your gut. After being lied to and $$$$ stolen by 2 other mechanics. Thank you sooo much for helping me. May your business prosper ☺️”
“Made an appointment and was taken exactly on time. Was told it would be an hour, and it was less than an hour. They did a fabulous job, let me know everything that was going to happen, and kept me informed the whole time. I would definitely go back, and I highly recommend their services.”
“Magnificent experience. Junior and Frank are both highly skilled technicians AND great individuals. Their honesty and skill make this the ideal company to work on your car. As a woman, I'm always waiting to be stereotyped as has happened through the years but Junior and Frank treated me simply as any customer whose car needed service. It was refreshing to be addressed with sincerity as well as getting an explanation what and why my car was having issues. THIS is the place to go!Service: Transmission”
