“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!!!”
“Brought my 2018 X3 to get coded for full screen apple CarPlay. They were very thorough in explaining the process and answering all my questions. Their courtesy check found a few things that needed attention and they took care of those while the car was there, saving me a future visit. Knowledgable and customer focused. Great place to take your BMW.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 brought my Genesis G70 because it was missing a lot of power. Eddy diagnosed the problem quickly, explained it to me clearly and even sent photos and videos. The estimate for the work needed was more than fair and the work was done quickly. Folks that works there are clearly knowledgeable, do the work right, for a good price and with great customer service. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“I took my Mazda 3 to 1 Fine Auto today as my car was making a lot of noise while driving. I had to hard stop near the Winchester high school before picking up my daughter since a policeman had flashing lights and basically cut me off on a one-way street. After that incident, the noise started. I was worried it was a damaged axel. Thankfully 1 Fine Auto was nearby and I met Jim who was very nice. I got lucky that they weren't too busy so they could take a look. It end up being the front rotor disk that basically got dislodged. Very scary. They were able to order new brake pads and rotors and fix on the same day within a few hours. I was very appreciative of Jim and the guys who fixed my car. I am a resident of Winchester and have noticed this automotive repair shop before as they are always busy when you drive by it on Main Street. It is a hidden gem so I had to leave this review so others can check them out. Great customer service and reasonable pricing. Will check them out again when I need additional service for my vehicles.”
“I love this business. I’ve been by many times in the past two years for oil change, brakes, my muffler, and more I don’t recall. They can usually finish my work same day and are so nice! Never intimidating”
“Julio was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, coming up with a quick fix for my Camry gas cap door. It’s been a faulty design from the manufacturer with a weak spring which causes the gas cap door to not open at times especially during the winter. Julio replaced it with a much stronger spring, almost immediately right after I dropped off my car. Just an example of how resourceful they are in resolving problems. Highly recommend!”
“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 experience here was 5 star. Steve was very professional and cordial. I would recommend Precision Transmission to anyone in need of this service. Thanks Steve!

“Joe and his team are incredible. I was originally referred there by a trusted mechanic/friend to do a transmission fluid exchange and filter change. Not a month or two later unfortunately my transfer case went out so I reached back out. They got my truck into the shop within a couple days, diagnosed my issue and discussed my options. The price was extremely fair and the work was top tier! Highly recommended”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ricardo is extremely friendly and helpful. He helped me with a service and was kind enough to squeeze me in at the end of the day. Would recommend taking your car here!”
“My experience with Russ and his team was great. Very good service at good prices. Russ is a very good person and he explained everything to me up front about what was going on with my vehicle and the best way to repair it. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable.”
“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 have been going to Mecca since 2007, and they are my go-to shop for all Saab-related car issues. Their team is knowledgeable, competent, responsive, and trustworthy, which has kept me coming back for 17 years. I highly recommend Mecca, and love supporting family owned establishments like theirs”
“Can't say enough about Hometown. They were recommended by a friend, when we had such a terrible experience from a local Honda dealership. From scheduling the appointment, to the transparency of the cost, and level of communication, Hometown was amazing! Nice to have a car experts take a practical approach to the services you need. Nothing more, nothing less and that is refreshing.”
“I needed emergency repair on my brakes, and Wooding's was a savior. I'd just driven in from NY the day before and was going to drive back in that morning but needed my brakes fixed before I could go. They took me in immediately and did the repair within 2 hours. It was amazing! I'm so grateful they were able to accommodate me and do the repair so quickly.”
“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.”
“George has taken care of our family's various car needs for the past few years. It's about time I leave this review! Always lots of transparency with diagnoses, price and priorities of what to fix. They always make sure you're satisfied with the work too. We always feel welcomed, listened to, respected and never rushed or taken advantage of. Having a mechanic that has as much integrity as he does goes a really long way. We are so thankful to have someone we can rely on, and know you will be too!”
“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.”
“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.

“The mechanic took time to go over what was ailing my vehicle and clearly explained what my options were. I would definitely bring my car back here if i needed any future work done to it.”
“Quick friendly service I know the guy i forget his name he also comes to get coffee at my job he is so nice and I also get my gas there as well lo es the price i país for my oil change”
“My husband and I worked with a gentleman named Jose mostly. He was very kind and friendly and very understanding regarding our sons vehicle. My husband worked with other people that he could not think of their names but they were all amazing too. We keep talking about how friendly, kind, caring and understanding everyone was there! Thank you for all your hard work!”
“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.””
“Not too many people as mechanics that I would trust these guys were great with their work and honest with their price I couldn't be any much more happier as a customer and client, I will definitely be going back for any mechanical work and would also recommend to friends and family in general public”
