Abe's Complete Auto Service: what do users think?
NJ H: Very pleased! After 6pm on Monday, we had a tire blowout. Needed a tow. They came promptly, and we agreed to be towed to their shop, which was still open. We needed specialty tires for our EV. Not available that evening, so we left the car. Following day (Tues.), they informed us it would take an extra day (until Wed.) to get our desired tires. But, at 7:30pm Tuesday, we got a call that the car was ready! It always feels good to get the car back a full day sooner than promised. And, their charge for the tires was competitive with what I saw online. (A tiny bit more, but with their responsive service, I'm satisfied.)Services:Tires,Vehicle Inspection,Wheel alignment
Noha Khan: Unfortunately, not a place I would recommend. Despite this being the only place I've visited for the past couple years, they're just always rude and dismissive with me. No idea why.Additionally, I didn't mind the cost (didn't even bother checking other places) but ~$37 to change the battery on my car key went past what I could overlook.Services:Air cabin filter replacement,General repairs maintenance,Oil change,Vehicle safety inspection
Sherrianne Sparrock-Sandiford: Eli and Neem Are the best. Always willing to help and super friendly.
Jacob Leatherberry: Always have a good experience getting service here. This is the second car I've taken here and I never get steered wrong. Reasonable and honest.Services:Tire rotations,Oil change,Wheel alignment
Andrew Bennett: My favorite place to get my car serviced. Great people and very knowledgeable.
Calvin Hobbs: Best.
Michele Dow: As a woman, I always feel nervous about taking my car in for repairs, but I have found an auto repair shop that gave me confidence I was getting exactly what was needed and for a very fair price. I had gone to the Infiniti dealer, and they said my 2013 Infiniti needed $4500 in repairs. Abe’s reviewed the quote and showed me why most of the items were unnecessary and that the rest could be done in stages. Instead of $4500, I paid Abe’s $450 to weld my exhaust system. Besides being extremely competent and fair, they are genuinely nice guys! I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. Tell them Michele sent you!Services:Auto exhaust system repair,Auto engine diagnostic
Nick Margitza: Would not recommend
Anna Krohn: I needed to have my car towed due to the front break calipers seizing up while driving on a Sunday evening. I chose Abe's from the list of AAA shops and I'm satisfied with my choice. I heard back from Naeem first thing on Monday morning, they already had my car up on the lift and confirmed for me it was indeed the calipers on the front that were the issue. There were other things that they spotted and recommended taking care of. Naeem explained everything, sent me photos of what he was seeing and was very communicative all day as the repairs were happening. I could have picked the car up the same day, but had to wait until Tuesday. Everyone I met in the shop when picking up was super friendly to top off the experience.The car felt good driving home so I'm happy. Needing the repairs was annoying and an unexpected expense but Naeem and the rest of the team did what they could for me. I appreciate it and will not hesitate to go back.Services:Brakes,Auto tire replacement
Alexei Syssoyev: Excellent diagnosis! Great crew. Professionals.
Shayne Pazyra: These guys are awesome! I got a flat tire at work on Saturday night after a 8 hour work day on the coldest day in Boston in years. Every single tire place was closed after 4pm-6pm.Triple A didn’t arrive until 4 hours later (6:30) and Abe’s came to the rescue. I called and they were so kind to me on the phone and said they could take care of me as long as I’m there before 8pm.I was welcomed by most of the staff, assured, and taken care of in about a half hour. I also expected to be totally ripped off as well cause they’re open so late but was charged less than a franchise tire place.Could not recommend this place enough !!!Service:Tires
Leo Jagid: Service:Vehicle Inspection
Raphaella Maria Da Silva Ferreira: Best place to get service done bar none!
Andrea Micci: We showed up on Christmas Eve with a flat tire and needed to drive 800+ miles.

So helpful and willing to do what it took to help us get back on the road. So grateful for their assistance!Service:Auto tire replacement

Broadway Gas & Automotive Car Care Center: what do users think?
16tandrews: Went for state inspection Saturday morning, was in and out in maybe half an hour. No complaints.Service:Vehicle safety inspection
Ro Rakhit: quick, easy, painless, and everyone was super friendly! they also took off the stickers i had been trying to get off for months!!Service:Vehicle Inspection
Taaj Lyncee: Very quick and helpful with inspection
Zhenhua Zhang: I used this location twice for oil changes. The first time I took my husband's CRV which was only a few years old at the time and they told me the brakes were failing and I had to get them changed out because it was a safety concern. I went ahead and had them do the work. I went back a few weeks later in my car for an oil change (I drive by this location every day so it was convenient) and I got the exact same message. My rear brakes were failing and were a safety hazard. I better get them replaced or I was going to get into an accident. So given I had heard the exact same thing now twice for two vehicles that I had just come in for routine oil change I declined to do the work. My car has been absolutely fine and passed inspection 3 years each time since I was told my brakes would fail imminently. My husband's crv brakes on the other hand that I spent much money on to fix at this shop have utterly failed in just a few years. The terrible scraping noises it made did not give us confidence they worked nor that the car will pass inspection that is due. We just had them switched out at another shop. Despite driving by this store almost daily I will never be using their services for anything again. I have seen other posts now warning about the brakes here. Buyer beware.Services:Brakes,Oil change,Auto brake repair
Ahmad Zia Borhani: They helped with my state inspection. Nice people.
Caelin Bryant: Fast! Painless. Very nice group of folks. No complaintsService:Vehicle safety inspection
Abby Smith: Friendly staff, who gave helpful advice and speedy service. I waited maybe ten minutes to be seen and about the same for my inspection. Thanks Eli for the tips to keep my car running smooth!
Antoine Duffaut: Competence, care,professionalism, great customer service every time. I’ve been coming to Broadway for years and I ‘be been always satisfied.Services:Transmission,Oil change,Wiper blade installation,Air conditioning,Auto sunroof glass replacement,Vehicle safety inspection,Exhaust
Pete Shinn: TLDR: Never, ever use this business. They apparently enjoy preying on young women there.The details: I encouraged my niece to use this business because of its positive Google reviews. What a mistake. She went for a vehicle inspection and was told by Dennis Cassidy she couldn’t legally drive the car without getting a front break job, complete with new rotors and calipers— calipers which are available at any auto parts store for $75 or less, and for which she was charged nearly $500 each, before labor! That might be OK, except when she left after paying a grossly inflated price for the coerced break job, Dennis warned her to bring it right back if the vehicle made any funny noises. When it predictably did start making grinding and screeching noises every time she touched the brakes within hours after paying and leaving, my niece, as instructed, brought it back right away. Although Dennis had the car for two full days after my niece returned it, they never looked at it, and eventually my niece had to go demand her vehicle back from them, unrepaired. This is a business that preys on the unwary. They will definitely up charge you well beyond what’s reasonable, and you may or may not get your car fixed in the end, even after paying an inflated price.Service:Vehicle safety inspection
Meghan Urso: Very efficient state inspection process and very friendly staff!
Dylan Bruce: Great local spot for an inspection or some minor auto support, ask for Nick!Service:Vehicle Inspection
Doug Rubinson: Service:Vehicle safety inspection
Aphro Nayshun: Went to get a safety inspection and had to leave because the computer was down (not their fault). However, Eli (not sure the spelling of his name) informed me and said come back tomorrow. When I did, he stopped everything and took my car 1st thing.Service:Vehicle safety inspection
JiaJia Zhang: Eli did a great job with my inspection. I take my car here whenever I have issues!
Sloane Lynch: Services:Vehicle Inspection,Brakes
Rose Sheridan: Best car mechanics in Cambridge. Owner is a STAR, and always on site. This place is awesome!!!
Sandra Ravy: Great quick and efficient service from Eli! Inspection only took about 10 minutes, and everyone was friendly there. Would go there for other needed services!Service:Vehicle Inspection
Caleb Neufeld: I have had my car stickered here twice and had a good experience both times. The service was polite and professional. The first time, they were able to replace a bulb on-site cheaply.Service:Vehicle safety inspection

Natalie Nakanishi: i went about a month ago to get an inspection and they did it timely and efficiently 👍🏼

Pablo Goldbarg: All great experiences. I was always charged properly, less than in any dealer, the owners spent time explaining everything, they always accommodated to my needs even when they were fully booked, and ended up helping me sell an old car and choose a new one. Sometimes they would look at my car at no cost and suggest me to wait before repairing. They just love cars and are humble, honest experts. I recommend them hands down.Services:Oil change,Brakes,Steering suspension repair,Auto engine diagnostic,Tires
Shayna G.: Knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy and fair. Everything you want from a mechanic. Couldn’t recommend more! Wish I would’ve stopped going to the dealership for service sooner.

Sean Thorp: I've had two experiences at Hayg and can't speak highly enough about their work and professionalism. I had auto body work done in the past, and they a great job making my car look like new after someone backed into it. It actually looked better than before. Recently, I had to get the tie rod replaced. Not only did they get the job done quickly, but they were able to save me nearly $2,000 by searching for quality after market parts. I trust them here, and that is the best thing you can say about an auto repair company.Services:Steering suspension repair,Body Trim

Foreign Auto Center, Inc.: what do users think?
Evan Ferber: I brought my car in worried there was an oil leak from a puddle I found beneath my car. Jimmy was incredibly helpful, took a look and let me know everything was actually all set. Definitely earned my trust to go back in the future.
Brianna Bettinelli: This is my second time going to Ted at Foreign Auto Center and both of my experiences have been fantastic. Once for a coolant leak and another time for new brakes on my Audi A3. Ted is so very kind, trustworthy, communicative, punctual and he definitely knows his stuff. He is very honest and never tries to upsell nor does he try to force additional services down your throat. Pricing is incredibly reasonable and they always get the job done well within the time frame that he tells you. One thing I really appreciate about Ted is that he's always willing to explain what the issue was, how it was fixed, and even goes out of his way to show me the parts he's fixed/replaced to so I can have a visual and learn a bit more about my car. I'd recommend Foreign Auto Center to anyone with a foreign car in the area!Service:Brakes
Anirudh Watturkar: Fantastic service. The mechanic was very responsive and explored all options for me to get the car fixed as cheaply as possible (checking for recalls with a dealership, doing a thorough investigation of the issue, looking into aftermarket part costs).After all of that, he gave me an honest opinion about whether the cost of repair was worth it.
Hari Pillai: Thank you Ted for doing a great and honest job on my brakes. Your new patron!
Chris Lahey: Great service and all the repairs have worked great. I even had one issue where they diagnosed it, didn't charge me for any fixes, but somehow the diagnosis process alleviated the problem.
Inna Gerzon: Honest and very nice guys who fix our cars!
Charles Covin: Services:Tires,General repairs maintenance
Wes Barlow: Ted and his team went out of their way to provide exceptional customer service and a top notch repair. They performed a thorough inspection of my Audi A4, quickly diagnosed the issue(s), and provided honest opinions on what repairs were necessary, and which ones were optional. I highly recommend working with Foreign Auto Center for your future car repairs.Services:General repairs maintenance,Steering suspension repair
Elaine Schear: Services:Tire rotations,General repairs maintenance,Oil change,Brakes,Auto engine diagnostic
Jessie Petersen: I have been coming here for years. Tony is awesome. Explains everything well and I always feel like I’m in good hands.
Milton Yarberry: I think I’ve been using Foreign Auto for 15 years now, and I’ve never had anything less than a solid experience. I trust Jimmy/Ted implicitly - which, given my circumspect nature and engineering need-to-know-the-details tendency, is kind of amazing.
Benjamin Saks: Solid repair service. When my own repair failed I wanted it done right and said I didn’t need it quickly but these guys got my Mini Cooper back to me in 1 day. Would use them again.
Marissa Beaudoin: 100% recommend. They are responsive, trustworthy, and really go above and beyond. Ted on numerous occasions has also provided helpful guidance and advice in the past as though it were his own car. Can't recommend enough!Services:Auto maintenance,Brakes
Ingo M: I have used Foreign Auto Center several times over the past 3 years, initially for a pre-purchase car inspection and since then whenever I had issues with the car. Prices are low, repairs are performed fast, well and everyone is friendly. I had asked to park my car a few days on their premises until I had received my license plates after the purchase (which was at the time no problem). If you want be sure to receive great service at low prices from a reliable team, you have found your place. The oldest review on google for Foreign Auto Center is 8 years old, and until today almost exclusively 5 start reviews, no 1 or 2 star reviews. That is quite impressive.
Ruochen Li: I went to the store to have my brake pad and rotor changed. Called weeks beforehand and they kindly gave me rough quote with different price range (since the exact part need to be measured). The service was great. Ted and Jimmy are very helpful, also explain to me how the brake systems work patiently. I'll have my front brake change there again since still waiting on parts. Highly recommend.Services:Vehicle Inspection,Brakes
Alex: I can’t even begin to thank these people enough. Great communication on the phone, prompt and thorough service when I arrived. I didn’t know the exact diagnosis of my A/C problem and they could have easily unsold or said a more extensive repair was needed. They addresses the problem, fixed it quickly, and tested it to make sure everything was in place. Great price, fantastic service. 100% recommend.
Roei Tzur: I had a great experience both checking and fixing my car several times. Ted is so helpful, honest and nice! Highly recommended!
Mark Kramer: Whenever I need my car (currently a Hyundai Elantra) repaired or serviced, I go to Jimmy's Foreign Auto Center. I've been going to the shop for more than 30 years, and I have always found the people there prompt, courteous, reasonably priced, and honest. Jimmy's Foreign Auto Center is far better than any other shop I've tried.Service:General repairs maintenance
Sarah Corrigan: Hands-down the best mechanics and quality in the Boston (if not, New England area)! Amazing prices and customer service!!!
Alexander Roy: Very helpful. Doesn't overcharge. If you have a problem you're not sure about, they're happy to advise over the phone.Services:Tires,Oil change,General repairs maintenance

Magazine Shell Automotive Car Care Center: what do users think?
Suzanne Dailey: Should be open when hours say open
Aravind Byju: My car broke down close by the shop and Mark was extremely helpful and flexible for me getting my car fixed. They allowed me to leave it at the shop over the weekend and Oudy the mechanic took a look at it first thing in the morning and provided great service. They were very reasonable with changing my alternator and I would highly recommend their services, I'll be definitely coming back!
Amanda Pereyra: These guys were great - went here to get a tire patched after we blew it on the drive from Toronto for the Boston Marathon. When we went to pick it up, after the run, they saw that my father in law was limping and stopped him, said “don’t take another step” and they changed that shi lickity split. Talk about class. Went above and beyond. Thanks Magazine Shell!Services:General repairs maintenance,Tires
E F: worst service he is not professionalService:Electrical
Golda Sinyavskiy: The other gas stations up the road are 60 cents less per gallon!!!
fred: Great service station, quick with inspections.
Carolyn Mitchell: I’ve been going to Oudy at Shell for a few years. At first, it was out of convenience for a state inspection near the city. But now, I only trust him with my car repair work and recommend him across the board to friends and family. He’s always upfront with options, timing, necessity of the work, and pricing. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he’s also friendly too which makes the process of car issues feel easier.
Zhengyu Liu: Very good place to get all the services and repairs done. Oudy replaced all four tires of my car, changed the engine oil and did inspection. Perfectly done. Would very recommend this place.Services:Oil change,Tires
Bel C: Amazingly fast, efficient and affordable repair of my flat tire. I'm very happy with their service. Plus, they answered their telephone when I called and asked if they could help. Highly recommended.Service:Tires
Heather Frank: Fast, reliable, and reasonably priced. After being turned down by two other mechanics, Oudy was able to help me with my engine repair and get me back on the road within 24hrs. Magazine Shell Automotive is now my go to for all my car maintenance.Service:Engine repair
Raphaella Maria Da Silva Ferreira: "Great service, price and staff.
Pedro Perez: I visited this shop on November 28, 2022, because the check engine light on my Mini Cooper went on. Oudy informed me that the thermostat needed to be replaced. I told him to go ahead, and he proceeded to replace the thermostat.About 2 weeks later, when I drove the car for the first time after the fix, the check engine light went on again. I went back the next day, on December 12, 2022, for the supposed warranty on his work. According to the invoice, the warranty is valid for two years and/or 24,000 miles. To my surprise, Oudy said that the thermostat was working fine but that now I needed to replace the fan and the water pump because they were not working and that the cost would be $1,200. I immediately got suspicious and picked up my car ASAP. I took the car to the MINI dealer, and they concluded that the water pump and fan were working perfectly fine and would not need to be replaced for many years, if ever. Then, they tried to bleed the coolant to see if that was the issue, but they told me that most likely the issue was the thermostat. Bleeding the coolant didn’t fix the issue, so they had to replace the faulty thermostat, and now the car works perfectly fine.Stay away from this place.
Sarah Moore: I know basically nothing about cars other than how to turn them on. I have gotten hosed in the past by other car detailers. When I got my most recent car I decided I would only go to one mechanic for everything. After a lot of due diligence I came here and I am SO glad that I did. The first time I came in there were a lot of repairs needed. I didn't know Oudy, but knew that he knew I knew nothing about cars. I called my brother in law who fixes cars on the side with the quote and he told me I was getting a very fair price and that whoever quoted me was an honest man. I trust my brother in law so I got all the repairs that Oudy recommended. Since then I've been seeing him for my maintenance and I love the guy. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, kind! I would highly recommend this place. I don't think it gets any better than this!Services:Brake service repair,Brakes,Wheel alignment,Tires,Air cabin filter replacement,Oil change
Cameron Ingram: Oudy is about as friendly and competent a mechanic as anyone could hope for.I had to have a defective tire replaced and he had the broker who provided it pay for the labor instead of passing the cost along to me, which I really appreciated. Also, he did some follow up work on a battery drainage issue at no charge.This is a guy who cares about his customers above all else which is super hard to find — I strongly recommend his shop!Edit: more praise for Oudy, who has since the review above taken my car in 3 separate times at no charge to isolate an electrical problem draining my battery. He really wanted to leave me in good shape and truly cared about solving the problem. I've never met a more thorough, decent mechanic and business owner!Services:Battery,Tires,Electrical repair,Oil change
Akash Negi: Oudy did all of the repairs necessary to get my 2004 Subaru Outback safely running. He let me know the cost up front, and had the car ready for me to pick up later that same day. The price was reasonable and the customer service was outstanding.Service:Brakes
Mark Grant: My car was sounding extremely loud, to the point where people were saying they could tell when I would be home while I was a block away. I took it to the Magazine street Shell where Oudy told me he would take care of it for me. A few hours later he called me and told me to come pick it up. It sounds like a brand new car now. Oudy along with his mechanics all worked on it and took great care of my vehicle. I will definitely be back with any other issues I have with my car going forward based on their amazing service. I recommend this shop to anyone who wants quality service as well as great customer service.Service:Exhaust
Colleen Lortie: I’ve brought my car here for its annual inspection for the past few years. This years inspection brought the bad, though not shocking, news that I needed new brake pads! Oudy made this news less painful by changing my brake pads same day. Such great service and kind, helpful people.Services:Brake service repair,Brakes,Oil change
Robert Ayoub: Great customer serviceService:Engine repair
Kyle Saylor: In and out with our inspection. Very efficient and friendly.

John & Nick's Texaco: what do users think?
David Bezalel Flamholz: An honest and reliable mechanic. They have also given good advice even when it meant less business for them. It’s a pleasure having such a great mechanic around.Service:General repairs maintenance
John Licoski: So many places I called before I went here could not be bothered to talk to me or seem like they wanted to help me. The safe here was friendly and really quick with service. Could not be happier
Millan Markowitz: Very quick, friendly service. Reasonably priced. I'll come here again.
JJ Politis: As the son of JAN awesomeServices:Auto maintenance,Battery,Auto windshield replacement,Side view mirror repair,Auto brake repair,Steering suspension repair
Zita Schneider: They are absolutely fantastic and it seems that saving me is becoming their winter tradition - last winter an urgent battery replacement and recently an engine malfunction warning. On both occasions they were very helpful and honest, with absolutely fair prices. Highly recommended!
Rachel Shapiro: I drove over to John and Nick's first thing on a Thursday morning because my car was making some unusual sounds. Even though I didn't have an appointment, Paul came outside to listen - and even took a quick drive around the block to try and assess the issue. He suspected an exhaust system issue, so I left the car for a proper inspection. About an hour and a half later, Paul called me to let me know what the issue was. He had me come back to the shop so he could show me the problem with the exhaust sytem (I live very close, but he also offered to take a video to show me). The team was able to make the necessary repairs by the next morning. Such a smooth experience!Service:Auto exhaust system repair
Sayed Mousawi: Unaccommodating. Came for state inspection which takes 5 mins. Got sent away cause it's not worth their time .
William Black: Stopped in during a very trying bike commute looking for air for a flat tire. Not that borrowing air is such a huge deal, but the guys working were super friendly, told me stories about other cyclists that had underestimated the power of their air compressor. Just a very pleasant experience, very nice crew to interact with.
John Grigoriadis: Paul is one of the greatest mechanics there, very knowledgeable, always has a solution and can get parts quickly. Also has very reasonable and fair prices. I will always bring my vehicles to John and Nicks for service repairs, oil changes, gas, and for yearly inspections! Thank you for servicing all my vehicles with quick turn arounds. Be sure to book an appointment as they are always booked ahead of time!
Raleigh Stetson: Positive:Professionalism,Punctuality,QualityMy Volvo had an array of needs after not being used regularly during the pandemic. Paul at the front was super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I called Monday and they were able to take me first thing Tuesday and have the work done by EOD. I will be returning with any additional needs. Highly recommend !!Services:Battery,General repairs maintenance,Body Trim
Joon Park: Beware this place. I went there once and only once to fill up my tank, max of $35-40, based on size of my car, and the charge on my card ended up being $93. Owner claims he has no idea how that happened.
Julie Elaine Brown: Amazing. I rolled up in here with CA plates on the car and MA plates on the front seat, needing an inspection. Paul put the MA plates on my car, oil change and inspection --all under an hour. I hung out in Harvard Square bookshop for the duration, and when I came back all was well in the world. I feel like an official MA resident. Thank you Paul.
Emeka O.: It's really amazing, how down to earth and knowledgeable these guys are. Not to mention the incredible attention to detail they show. 5stars is not enough. Top50traffic.com
Steven Lord: These folks were very nice and accommodating, and very professional as they worked on my car. They did my needed car inspection quickly and helped me out of a bind, and it is even near several restaurants and a Dunkin so it’s easy to get some food or coffee while waiting. Would definitely recommend.
John Alling: Had a few cars serviced here; these guys are fast, knowledgeable, and honest. They always walk me through all repairs in person which is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend them for all your car servicing needs!
Aly S: Went here for state inspection. They got me in quickly and were super nice. Would highly recommend!
J Sny: Paul has nursed my VW Passat through it's 100,000 miles of post warranty years. I'm a huge fan. He's always straight forward when the problem is easy and forthright when the problem is vague.
Douglas Perrin: Great guys, honest and straightforward.
Jennifer Thorburn: Very friendly, quick, and helpful service!! I got my vehicle inspection done here, and they also helped me switch out my license plate which had extremely rusty screws that were stuck in place. I would definitely recommend coming here for service!
Mary Akerson: The people are great!!
Lindsay Daly: Went in to get an inspection sticker and an oil change, and coincidentally the next day my undercarriage was loose. At first I thought it was a mistake on the part of the garage, and Paul was kind enough to pop by when they’re normally closed to take a look. Turns out the poorly maintained streets were beating the hell out of my undercarriage and the garage had even tried their best to reattach it when doing my inspection! I’ll be coming back on Wednesday to replace the undercarriage piece for good. Definitely a great place.

Chico's Sunoco USC: what do users think?
Andrew Nilson: Nate and his team have taken care of my cars for the last 8 years. Nate earned my trust on day one when I brought in my car and he opt in the car with me. Heard the sounds that was being made and immediately knew what was going on. He got under the car pulled something out that was loose and didn't need to be there and charging me $25. Since then I have definitely had to pay more money with more expensive repairs, but he is consistently repaired only what needed to be repaired and done it professionally. He will always recommend things when they are needed, but I have always found his pricing to be fair and his personability to be refreshing. He cares for his clients.
Justin Parker Boston: Great guys. Gentleman. I’d trust them with any of my cars.
Emilian Papadopoulos: Nate is terrific: he's communicative, honest, works fast, and has the vehicle ready on time. I first went to Nate's for a vehicle inspection. Two of the items on the inspection list were not providing adequate data, and whereas others might have taken the opportunity to charge me more, Nate correctly diagnosed that I had just had work done on the car and so needed to drive it for 50-75 more miles and return for a (free) re-inspection, which I did and it worked. I then used Nate to put on our winter tires. His team did the morning after I called (most places were booking three weeks out) for significantly less than others quoted me for the same work.Services:Vehicle Inspection,Tires
renee zale: This place is great. They are super helpful and reliable and price fairly. The owner always seems really invested in my car and is great about calling to explain whatever issues he’s found. They are also super speedy and it’s great that they are open 24/7 so you can pick up / drop off your car beyond standard business hours.
Stephen Keen: Chico's is an institution. Yes, you can get gas there, but more importantly they are friendly and honest, which is a rare trait in mechanics. I get my cars inspected there and they are always efficient and knowledgeable.
Itz Apoc: Had my car brakes and oil changed at Chico's! Great service and the employees were very nice. I recommend this place to anyone who has car issues.Service:Brakes
Guido Zichittella: Professional and friendly. I definitely recommend them!
Tracy Walton: Staff are unfailingly kind and helpful. A great place to get regular inspection and pump gas. Handy location near Fresh Pond/Concord AVe. rotary.Services:Vehicle safety inspection,Auto emissions testing
Michael Hannon: Fast and fair repair service.
Alex Thorn: I’ve lived in Cambridge for 8 years and have used several mechanics during that time. However, once I started using Chico’s, about 5 years ago, I’ve never gone anywhere else. Nate and his team are the kindest, most honest, hardworking, and reliable mechanics I’ve ever used. They’ve consistently done excellent work quickly at fair cost. Nate and his team have worked on 4 different of my cars over the years and I’ve always been extremely happy with the work and professionalism. I’m moving away from the area, and I couldn’t leave without dropping this review. I will miss this place! Nate- you’re the man.Services:Engine repair,Wheel alignment,Electrical,Battery,Air conditioning,Brakes,Steering suspension repair,General repairs maintenance,Tires
Patricia Catta-Preta: Competent, committed and reliable!
Gods Bestfriend: TRUTH
fernanda fernandes: Good 👍
Zr2 Thunder: The best around!
Phinney Morrison: Professional and reliable. A very devoted, considerate, and friendly team. Service is excellent !
Pauline Benninga: We've been bringing our cars here for repair for years. Wally is honest and friendly and his crew does a great job, quickly. We've gone through four cars since my husband started bringing his van in over 10 years ago. We've had to go to other mechanics along the way for either warranty or just location (alignment issues during a road trip, for example) and no one is as good or as fair as Chico's.Services:Auto engine diagnostic,Tires,General repairs maintenance,Oil change,Battery,A/C installation repair,Wheel alignment
Jordan: This place is great. They took care of a flat tire on a Sunday with zero notice, and the rate I paid for the new tire was exactly the same as the listing on TireRack.Edit: These guys helped me *again* with basically 0 notice when my rear shock broke unexpectedly. I can't say enough good stuff about this place. Wally is friendly, helpful and honest.
Peter Hoagland: High quality engine repair
Stephanie Jack: They can fix anything. And they won't add stuff you don't need.
love towing: Always open for fuel and a small store with drinks snacks they have diesel fuel shop is spotless and most of staff have been there for years I've been a mechanic all my life so I do my own work but I'm impressed with this operation Nate is the service manager this is a place that I would bring my vehicle to be repaired I highly recommend them
