Straight answers, no runaround

Both work. For routine stuff like oil changes, inspections, or picking up a used car to look at, walk-ins are welcome during business hours. For bigger jobs (brakes, diagnostics, anything that needs a few hours in the bay), calling ahead makes sure we have time to give your car proper attention that day.

Call (978) 891-5119 or use the contact form to book a slot.

Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Saturdays 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM. Closed Sundays and major holidays.

Drop-offs outside these hours can usually be arranged with a phone call ahead of time — we have an after-hours key drop for regulars.

We partner with local tow operators and can arrange a tow to the shop for you. Give us a call and we'll coordinate it — usually faster than booking one yourself, and the driver will know to bring it right to our lot.

If you're already covered by AAA or your insurance roadside assistance, use them first and have them drop the vehicle at our address.

Always. We never start work without you knowing what it costs. After we inspect, we'll call with the findings and a written estimate. Nothing happens until you say go.

If we find something unexpected mid-job (a bolt seized, a hidden leak), we stop and call before adding anything to the bill.

Most makes and models — domestic, Japanese, Korean, and most European brands. Common examples:

• ▸Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda
• ▸Ford, Chevy, Dodge/Ram, Jeep, GMC, Buick
• ▸BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo, Mini

Not sure if we work on yours? Give us a call with the year, make, and model — we'll tell you straight up.

Yes. Most repairs come with a standard 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor, whichever comes first. Some specialty jobs or customer-supplied parts may have different terms — we'll always tell you upfront before the work starts.

If something we fixed isn't behaving right, bring it back and we'll make it right.

It depends on the job and whether parts are in stock. Rough rule of thumb:

• ▸Oil change, tire rotation: under 1 hour
• ▸Brake job (pads + rotors): 2–3 hours
• ▸State inspection: 15–30 minutes
• ▸Diagnostics + repair: same day if parts are local
• ▸Major repairs (timing, transmission): 1–2 days

We'll give you a specific time window when you drop off, and a call if anything changes.

Most do. Under Massachusetts law, any used vehicle we sell with fewer than 125,000 miles comes with a dealer warranty. The term depends on the mileage at sale:

• ▸Under 40,000 miles: 90 days / 3,750 miles
• ▸40,000–79,999 miles: 60 days / 2,500 miles
• ▸80,000–124,999 miles: 30 days / 1,250 miles
• ▸125,000+ miles: no required written warranty, but the implied warranty of merchantability still applies

Absolutely. We actually recommend it. You can bring any of our vehicles to a third-party mechanic of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection before you sign anything. We'll also happily walk you through our multi-point inspection notes on any car.

And under MA law, you have 7 days after purchase to get the vehicle inspected at a state inspection station. If it fails and the repair cost exceeds 10% of the purchase price, you have the right to return it for a full refund.

We don't finance in-house, but we can refer you to local banks and credit unions we've worked with where buyers have generally had good experiences — even with less-than-perfect credit. No pressure: if you want to arrange your own financing first, that's always welcome too.

Call us and we can point you in the right direction based on your situation.

The MA warranty covers major systems that impair the vehicle's safety or use. Specifically:

• ▸Engine and transmission / drive axle
• ▸Brake system
• ▸Radiator and cooling system
• ▸Steering system
• ▸Electrical and ignition system (excluding the battery)

The dealer may charge up to $100 per repair attempt. If a defect can't be fixed after reasonable attempts, you're entitled to a full refund.

Under MA law, you have 7 days from purchase to have the vehicle inspected at a state inspection station. If it fails and the cost to repair exceeds 10% of the purchase price, you have the right to return the vehicle for a full refund.

Below that 10% threshold, the dealer is required to repair the issue at no cost to you. Bring the failed inspection report back to us and we'll take care of it.

No — and this is one of the strongest buyer protections in the country. Unlike most states, Massachusetts does not allow licensed dealers to sell vehicles "as-is." The implied warranty of merchantability applies to every dealer sale regardless of price, age, or any language in the contract.

That means every vehicle we sell must be fit to drive safely and remain in good running condition for a reasonable period. Full stop.

For repair work: cash, check, all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), and Apple Pay / Google Pay.

For used car purchases: cash, certified check, or wire transfer. If you're financing through a bank, they'll typically cut the check directly to us.

We don't run in-house financing for repairs, but we can walk you through a few third-party options if the bill is bigger than you can cover at once — specifically consumer financing programs designed for auto repair. Most run credit-friendly and have quick approvals.

Talk to us when you pick up the estimate. We'd rather help you find a way than lose you as a customer over it.
