“My husband works in Newton Center and ran over a nail not far from his office. He didn’t think he could safely drive back to Brookline on the tire, and we didn’t want to bother with a tow, so we left it with the attendant after hours and figured we’d hear from them the next day. We weren’t sure if the tire could be patched or if we’d be looking at a replacement.
The next morning, my husband stopped by in person to check in. Turns out, the car was already done and they were just about to call us. They’d plugged and patched the tire for $45.
Normally I’d want a call before any work gets done, but this was a small fix at a fair price, and I’m glad they just handled it. It’s also possible the attendant gave them the go-ahead, hard to say. Either way, they were quick, did solid work, and didn’t overcharge us.
People sometimes complain about the gas prices here, but the mechanic side of the shop seems legit and professional.”
“Been here twice upon a friend's recommendation. I had what seemed like tricky problems other shops couldn't figure out. They diagnosed, COMMUNICATED THE ISSUE to me, and fixed the issue that had been going on for years. Very happy so far. Clean, attentive, professional. Don't hesitate to give them a try.”
“It should come as no surprise that once again Nick and his team provide exceptional service at a reasonable price. When it comes to non-warranty related issues related to any of my vehicles, Audy Auto Center is the only place I call.”
“They are the best guys for working on cars. The most professional and reliable team you can ask for. Had a small issue and they were able to take care of it for an affordable price. Highly recommend this shop!”
“Awesome auto repair/car inspection shop! These guys are very knowledgeable, thorough, and also very respectful and kind :) Car inspection was fast! I highly recommend this place!”
“Thanks guys (seriously).
The mechanic's here are top notch. They got me out of a jam when my car broke down. I had not been to this shop previously, even so, they treated me with respect, were clear in communication; and very fair with pricing.
They got my car fixed quickly and efficiently; and got me back on the road without any drama.
Would recommend 5*****'s!”
“Great service and friendly staff. One of my tires was leaking air due to 1 stuck staple. It was repaired within leas than half n hr and the cost was $45.
Highly Recommended”
“My experience was beyond good. My elderly mothers car broke down in the late after noon. We had the car towed there. They fixed it before closing and treated us like family. The price was incredibly reasonable for the work. From this day foward all my family cars are going to jack. Just incredible!!!!”
“All the services are great at $20 a month. I would’ve given it a 5 stars but it’s not unlimited washes.. washes are only once per day, since the car still had soap and streaks. But, overall I am satisfied.”

“Great experience. I booked online, they responded quickly over email to say everything I needed done could be done (50K tune up, fix a flat, new tires). Drop off was easy, there was plenty of parking. They were fast, communicative. As a bonus, unrelated to the tuneup my front bumper was being held on by tape after a fender bender. I didn't ask them to fix it, but they reinstalled it for me free of charge, and they refilled my wiper fluid. Nice folks.”
“Appreciate Nate and his team's honesty and wonderful service. They were all so kind and patient in explaining the work needed to be done on the car during the inspection.”
“The owner of this place is one of the most honest mechanics I’ve encountered. I’ve gone here for tire mounts and alignments and the service has been 10/10. If you are looking for a place to get your car serviced for years to come, stop by JD.”
“Mike is a truecprofessional who treats his customers as family. He's good with fixing cars and getting the exact job done that the car needs. Never disappoints. Great guy! I'm not a review writer, but I wanted to do this for Mike.”
“1012 is a great local shop with friendly, honest service. They’re reliable, easy to work with, and do quality work at a fair price. I really appreciate how helpful and straightforward they are. Highly recommend!!”
“Genuinely and thoroughly get to the root of the problem and address and explain/specify problems surrounding what you bring to their attention. Incredible team and system. Hard to trust a job getting done without it being about making money over customer care. Your vehicle is in good hands here. Business is Business but human courtesy outweighs any bill. 5 stars isn’t enough <3”
“I always have my vehicles' inspection done there. They are really speedy and even when there's a wait they are very accurate on the wait time. Super convenient location for me; plenty of coffee fast food and shopping within walking distance while I waited.”
“I needed an oil pan replacement, oil chance and inspection on my car so I dropped it off here in the morning. Work was done before the end of the day for a very reasonable price, and I think they actually fixed something else wrong with my engine because it was no longer making a strange idling sound when I picked it up. Great experience overall”
“Usually the best prices around for top tier gasoline. The wait is not too long either. You must be a Costco member to purchase gasoline and it is only credit or debit card only.”

“Honest shop. They've always been straightforward with me about when something is going to take a long time or not. They also replaced a headlight for free after their previous replacement went out -- even though, as it turns out, I think it was a bad bulb and not actually their fault.”
“Today, when Wadi saw I got a flat tire at the roadside, he helped me to replace my tire. He refused to take any money. I believe his skills must be good since he has a very good heart.
I wish I could give 6 stars :)”
“Highly honest and competent auto shop
Diagnosed my check engine light within 10 minutes and recommended I buy a part online to fix the issue. This service was done for free.”
“Excellent job and price; TJ was transparent and didn't pressure me to get anything I didn't need and let me get exactly what I was looking for. Came in to fix suspension and parking brake shoes and he ended up also changing service brakes and rotors for very reasonable additional price. Even ended up switching worn calipers without increasing charge. Would definitely recommend.”
“We have been using Bob's for almost 20 years and they are always very polite, professional and reliable for deliveries.They are old school when it comes to Customer Service and I would highly recommend them.”

“Hannibal has been my mechanic for many years and will be so for years to come. He has a great team that works very well together, they're very polite, very friendly and very positive despite their personal challenges. I also love the little positive sayings that are hung on the wall, and I read them every time I'm there. Those words not only encourage Hannibal's team but encourage me throughout my work day. If they can do it, so can I.”

“I always have a great experience here! The staff is super friendly, and the convenience store has a fantastic selection of snacks and drinks. Plus, the fuel prices are usually pretty competitive.”
“Excellent quality of work the absolute best, excellent staff, absolutely 100% honest mechanics, 100% honest reasonable prices, & 100% Superb customer service! Have had all aspects of work done here.”
“I had a nail in one of the tires on the work vehicle. I am unfortunately obligated by work to take the car to their place to be fixed however I needed air till I get there. A white man with dark blonde hair was so kind and professional about it. He added air to all tires and pointed out to where the nail was. This interaction took place sometime in the winter. I was poorly dressed and exhausted after a medical shift. I asked if I can pay for the air and he refused. I highly recommend the services here.”
“STRONGLY recommend the mechanic operation. Very good folks.
But the gas station... well, the guy at the counter was hanging out picking at his bare feet when I went in. Not someplace to stop for a snack.”
“Stopped here for air in my tires and David came out offering help without being asked. He knew the machine was maybe having issues and wanted to make sure we left with properly filled tires. After having numerous terrible customer service experiences nearby today, David was a breath of fresh air. He exuded kindness and caring. Give this man a raise!”
