“Wonderful experience at Wellesley Mazda. Caleb was very helpful and made our car-buying experience feel tailored to our needs. We ended up buying our dream car the same day. Thank you to the team (but especially Caleb!) for welcoming us into the fold and providing top-notch service.”

“Best place for all of your Automotive needs. Marco, Nixon, and the Watertown Team at VIP Tires & Service did an Outstanding Job Installing Tires, performing a Wheel Alignment, replacing brakes, and an oil change on my GMC Sierra 2500 pick up. Thank you Guys!!!”
“Hands down the best auto service experience I have ever had, and consistently so. I fully trust them with my family's vehicles and safety.
- They take care of you here and treat you like family. Honestly, even better than family. They truly take care of you car and understand how much reliable repair service matters. They are trustworthy and clearly are not pushing unnecessary repairs (unless of course you don't care about your car being in good shape).
- They get things done on a fast schedule and have gone the extra mile for me multiple times. They get you complementary Lyft service and/or a loaner car when needed.
- They clearly strive for operational excellence and first-rate customer service and somehow over-deliver on that. The garage floor is organized and clearly well run. They provide timely updates, videos of your car's parts requiring repair, and helpful explainer videos so you can be informed about the necessity of a repair.
- This may not be the right place if you only care about minimal cost (and are fine with questionable quality). They are not as cost competitive as some small pop-and-son garages, but their service and quality is so much better that it is hard to compare those. Imagine the customer-first approach of a great local shop, but paired with quality that far exceeds anything else I have ever worked with.
- The owner Charlie is very present and it shows. He takes every individual customer seriously and will ensure they are taken care of. His influence and energy drives the culture there. Also shoutout to Craig. He just has such a great positive attitude and will make things happen for you quickly when you really need it.”

“When you have an older car and do not know much about cars, going to a car service center can feel a lot like going to the dentist. You know something may be wrong, you know it may affect your safety, but you do not always know what is urgent, what can wait, how much it should cost, or whether you should approve a recommended service.
Because of that, I usually feel very stressed and anxious when I have to take my car in. Express Tire & Auto Service was different. I brought my car in because I was concerned about my brakes and some overall issues while driving. They performed a very thorough inspection and sent me photos and videos of what they found, along with clear explanations and an online estimate where I could review each item and decide what to approve.
That system was incredibly helpful. At many places, I receive information verbally and can only understand part of what is being explained, so I end up feeling pressured to approve things because I am worried about safety. Here, I had enough time and information to make an informed decision. I really appreciated the transparency, professionalism, and kindness of the team.
They were friendly, patient, and reliable from start to finish. I feel very lucky to have found this place, and I feel much more comfortable and confident driving my car now. I would highly recommend Express Tire & Auto Service, especially to anyone with an older car or anyone who wants clear and detailed explanations before making repair decisions. They made a stressful situation feel manageable, and that meant a lot to me. 😊”
“Randy's Staff is professional, polite and experienced. The office and waiting area is clean and accommodating. The cost estimate was very accurate and the expected time off the service was very good. I recommend Randy's Auto to everyone!”
“Great service from beginning to end. They kept us fully informed of what was going on, and made the insurance process very very easy. I was recommended by a friend to use the shop, and I was not disappointed at all!”
“At this specific location (Brookline), the employees are always courteous, polite and thorough! I drive out of my way just because the customer service is so on point.”
“I have been taking my cars to APA for various kinds of services for years because I found Phil to be knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy. You can always get great service for a great price there. Thanks Phil!”
“I cant say enough about the team at the Arlington -Mystic St Valvoline. Each person is more friendly than the next. All are willing to help and they are not pushy at all...I find them honest and informative. I had an issue with a wiper that I had had installed during my last visit and Daniel (the manager) went out of his way to not only check it out, but also to go above and beyond to find out what the problem was, show me what it was and to fix it. Simply amazing! The are a first rate team..each and every one of them.”
“McCracken is a great family operated business. They are honest, timely, and they do great work! Thanks to them, we waited to buy a new vehicle, and the old minivan is as strong as ever after the work they did two years ago.”
“Awesome job tonight, guys! I have always gotten top notch service from your facility!
Keep up the good work!
I just filled out your company's email survey form with raving reviews! ?

“Our entire family has been using Quinlan Automotive for each of our cars for close to five years - tires, oil changes, parts, etc. Jim a professional in every sense of the word. He is upfront about work that needs to be performed and associated pricing. He is timely, communicative, and his work is thorough. Once we found Jim, we haven’t once looked elsewhere. A great, professional asset to the community. We can’t recommend him enough.”
“This morning, I discovered a problem with my car and needed help because I needed the car the same day. I called Paul, and he offered to help immediately. With professionalism and kindness, Paul fixed the car quickly at a fair and reliable price. I recommend that anyone who needs car repairs reach out to him.”
“We came here to check out a car before we bought it. The mechanic was really helpful! He showed us the issues he saw, and talked us through why they matter to the car. Really informative. We’ll be coming back to Charlie’s for more work!”
“Great service was great. They always make me feel comfortable especially being a woman. Definitely recommend. Everyone that works there is very friendly and knowledgeable.”
“I’m always satisfied leaving Valvoline and my last visit was great! I went in for an oil change and asked if my transmission fluid could be checked. Isiah got me in and set up in no time, was knowledgeable about the services offered, and handed me off to Kevin for the remainder of the appointment. Kevin was also extremely knowledgeable about the benefits and needs for each service and was great to chat with - he even helped remove an old & expired resident parking permit that had been scratched up from my removal attempt. The price I paid was in perfect alignment with the services completed and I will definitely be coming back in the future. Thanks all!”

“This is has become my number 1 mechanic shop. I have been there quite a few time recently with my hyundai and they are always super helpful. One of my favorite things about them is they are honest and don't try to upsell you on things you do not need and they have they best prices compared to other mechanics I have reached out to for quotes. Customer for life!!!”
“The sales and management were very professional. They took
A lot of time to show us the various vehicles- the different models and then the model upgrades. A great experience. I’m there for b my next on e”
“Got my oil changed in my van this morning and Juan was great. Explained everything to me and did a a quick and efficient job. Ill definitely continue to come back here for my van and other vehicles.”
“Great service and job they did with repairing my door and the detailing work they did! They were 30% cheaper than another shop I got quoted for. Would recommend.”
“Really smart, kind and honest mechanic. My mom let her car get into bad shape, and Wesley let me tow it over, he assessed it and gave me a quote, and an honest recommendation that the car was not worth the amount of work it needed. He liaised with the junk yard looking for a door that needed to be replaced, and was overall easy to deal with and totally trustworthy. He made a very stressful event painless. Highly recommend.”
“This is a long overdue review! I've brought three different cars to Wagner and his team several times over the years. They've always done excellent work at an extremely fair price, and work so quickly. Normally I call the day before I'm hoping to come and they can always squeeze me in. But what I really want to highlight is Wagner's kindness, good humor and empathy. As a woman, and someone not well versed in cars, I often feel intimidated and frankly naive when working with mechanics. Wagner has always made me feel welcome and at ease, and has explained things in depth. For me, this is almost more important than great work and good prices.
One more thing: They are now offering door-to-door car pickup and dropoff at no additional charge. They'll pick up your car from your home, and return it after the work is complete. It saved me a ton of time and headache, highly recommend!”
“I’m a frequent and happy customer of Valvoline and the service and efficiency of this location blew me away! Thanks for a great experience and being so helpful!”
“I came on one of their days with a one day special for 20% coupon. It got misplaced and blew away with the wind, the technician Anthony was able to get me the deal still. Great customer experience and service”

“I had an excellent experience at Jiffy Lube! From the moment I pulled in, everything was smooth, fast, and professional. The gentleman who helped me was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure my car was taken care of properly. He took the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure, which I really appreciated.
The service was quick, efficient, and done right the first time. The shop was clean, well-organized, and the whole process felt trustworthy and transparent. It’s not always easy to find that kind of service these days.
This was easily one of the best oil change experiences I’ve had. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this location to anyone looking for reliable, top-notch service!”
“I heard so many excellent remarks about Fernandez Xpress car detailing but never got a chance to go until today. Customer service was great and my car looks brand new again. I highly recommend this place is the premier detailing spot.”
“EXCELLENT Service Everyone was friendly and professional.
They refused to change my oil because it very clean and only did 1000 miles since last oil change. The tires were rotated pressure was checked including the spare.”
“I had a plastic splash shield hanging down underneath my car and was honestly pretty stressed about it. I stopped by without an appointment, and George took a look right away.
He quickly figured out it was just the splash shield that had come loose, secured it with new clips, and reassured me that everything was good to go. I really appreciated the honesty—no pressure, no unnecessary upselling, just straightforward help.
A big thank you to George for the repair and to Ken for being welcoming and professional. Everyone was kind, efficient, and made what I thought was going to be a stressful (and expensive!) problem feel incredibly easy.
Highly recommend this shop. I’ll definitely be coming back for future service.”
