“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!!!”
“I came to Pleasant Car Care for a second opinion after being quoted for a very involved repair at the Mercedes dealership in Westwood. Someone recommended Pleasant Car Care to me, and I’m so glad they did. The repair I actually needed was much less extensive—and thousands of dollars less—than what Mercedes told me I had to have done.
I don’t know much about cars, so finding a place with integrity that I can genuinely trust is incredibly valuable to me. Watertown isn’t exactly convenient to where I live, but knowing I can bring my car there and work with honest, trustworthy people makes the drive completely worth it.
I’m so grateful for the recommendation and will absolutely be going back!”

“My family and I have been coming here to have our cars serviced for years. They are always honest and up front with what needs to get done without up selling anything. We have nothing but good to say about the service provided. If you want amazing customer service and efficient car service, bring your car here and they will take care of it for you! Highly recommend coming here!”
“I had a great experience with Haskins Automotive after my vehicle was involved in an accident. From start to finish, the communication was excellent — I always felt informed and knew what was going on with my vehicle.
The entire team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and easy to work with, which made an otherwise stressful situation much easier. I really appreciated how helpful and professional everyone was throughout the process.
I would absolutely recommend Haskins Automotive to anyone looking for a team that genuinely takes care of their customers.”
“Great communication and customer service! Their reports on the condition of the car make it easy to make informed decisions about repairs, and the staff is always ready to explain things in greater detail.”

“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. 😊”
“If you need a good, honest, not a parts changer mechanic repair shop this is the place. Give them a chance, they will not disapoint, they will go the extra mile and stand behind their work.”
“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.”

“Amazing service! I came in with no appointment because my car had a very loud noise coming from the front wheel area, and I was really worried it might be something serious. They took the car right away, diagnosed the problem fast, and fixed it the same day. The noise is completely gone now and the car drives perfectly. The price was very fair, the work was professional, and the whole experience was stress-free. This is honestly one of the best and most honest auto repair shops in the Boston area. Highly recommended!”
“Jimmy is great; an old school local shop where you know who is looking at your car and don’t get price gouged. He did a wonderful job on a dated BMW and was honest when a repair would have been a waste of money.”
“I normally don’t post reviews but I was SO pleased by the service I got here! Wagner gave me an amazing price for spark plug/coil replacement and picked up and dropped off my car at my house. He was on-time, communicative, trustworthy, and I will certainly be using his services for any mechanic work I need in the future. Really impressed and grateful!!!”
“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!”
“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! ?

“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.”

“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“Front wheel was making a horrible racket, sounding like metal on metal and getting worse over a few days. Who knows what it was. Paul fit me in the next day. But when I dropped it off, naturally the noise was gone. His mechanic took it on the highway and drove it around - they took the wheel off and looked at the brakes and bearing. Concluded that whatever it was, it had resolved - perhaps a rock or something. Didn’t charge me anything but suggested if it comes back to drop it off immediately and they would check it out.”
