“From the get go, you feel like you are in good hands with Nelson and it was an experience that persisted all the way to vehicle pickup.
Nelson greeted me and personally, did a fast accurate assessment of the vehicle, wrote up a work order and was able to take my car in the next day.
He not only delivered the flawless repair at the cost of the appraisal from my insurance company, but he also delivered on time and with an extra special touch of auto detailing (including buffing out built up oxidation on my other head light to match the fixed one he installed in the repair).
His entire staff was great and you really felt like you were working with professional people with a nice touch of honest friendliness. Highly recommended.”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with John from A-1 Autobody in the Winthrop Automall when he repaired my truck. He did a great job, kept me informed, and was a huge help dealing with the insurance company. I would highly recommend!”
“I don’t usually leave reviews, but felt compelled to for Cal’s. After a rear end collision, I wasn’t sure who to go to for repairs. The first place I went was Cal’s bc it was close to work.
I can’t say enough about what a great job Cal’s did on my car. It looked amazing after the work; better than it had before the accident believe it or not. Steve and Lorraine were a great help and took care of everything. Work was done on time. They took care of everything including the return of my rental car.
Thank you everyone who was involved and great job!”
“I have only been going to Peppi’s for 2 years but would highly recommend him in a heartbeat! He is amazing and honest. His work is perfect at great prices. Several of my family members have switched to him as well.”
“??? This service is special! , These guys, Luis and Rici, who are phenomenal and of course the rest of the team, they are amazingly good at what they do, they are very serious and well organized. If you have a European car, I tell you from the bottom of my heart, don't be afraid, because the contacts are of extraordinary quality. Why am I saying this, because my car, a Mercedes S550, nobody managed to start it for 6 months, I went to several service centers and of course at the dealer I spent a lot of money without luck, I was hoping for 6 months . But I came across these wonderful guys and in less than a week they started my car and of course at a very reasonable price. Call and see for yourself what I can do???”
“Best mechanic shop ever. I brought my mother's car in for some work and she had bought brake pads and he installed them for nothing while the car was there.”
“Came in to fix my rear left tire and get an inspection sticker. They finished both within 2 hours for $50. Great service, quick, and affordable. Definitely recommend!!”
“Abel is an awesome dude, dropped what he was doing for a random new customer (me) and helped me outta a bind quickly. i had a flat, 2/5 of the lugs were over-torqued and seized and i couldn’t get em off with a tire iron or elec impact driver to put my spare on. even AAA couldn’t with theirs or a breaker bar. i live nearby, everyone else nearby told me to bring it tomorrow… but i work overnights. abel said bring it down, i limped it to him, less than two hours later i’m good to go for $30 and he ordered another matching similarly-used-tread tire for me. idk of henry furlong, who seems to have owned this place from reviews a few years ago, but current mgmt has made a loyal customer of me already
edit: wanna say most recent negative reviews seem to be unrealistic. i bought a mirror cap for $30 for my renegade. snapped it on myself. OEM was $80. if i ordered thru a mechanic probably min $100, and $30(.5hr min, $60hr) is a stupid low labor rate. you pay for TIME largely more than parts, for one reviewer c/o an $800 fuel pump on a crown vic, how much do you think a dealer would charge you when the average via google is $900?

abel now works in east boston, 30 shelby st, new shelby body / julie’s auto”
“Fair, honest and knowledgeable. Always friendly and get you in and out. My dad fixed my car my whole life. Now that he has passed I have been stressed out finding someone. They’ve been great. I will continue to go back.”
