STAY AWAY! My one experience is one of unfriendly, uncooperative staff. They would not put in writing what they told me. I took this to mean they were not telling the truth. Later, two other shops verified this. CA cost me $300. I expected capable, professional service. I was disappointed all three ways.

Anytime I need them for services they never let me down. I can just walk in and they handle me like family

BEWARE. This garage charges ProDemand retail prices on factory parts from the manufacturer. They dont get parts from Napa Auto, etc, which are just as good but for half the price. My car is a 2005, and they charged me $1,200 for plugs, coils and a valve cover for a 4 cylinder Altima? Are you kidding me? Stay away from these guys unless your one of their wealthy Needham clients for which $1,200 doesnt mean getting screwed. Otherwise, it sounds like theyre not concerned with repeat business.

This is a top notch local auto repair shop. The mechanics are well versed in all facets of keeping modern cars running and can quickly diagnose most issues. What I especially like is that they will stick with the tough problem until solved. They have a large loyal customer base so its best to be able to leave the car or use the key drop off box the night before.

I have my maintenance done here and they always provide competitive rates. Just last week at 8am I noticed my tire was low on air. I called them and went to the shop. They took care of me within 20 mins and I wasnt late for work. I am very pleased with this shops customer service. If you need a mechanic shop that is honest, then go here!

Good work at fair prices. Staff is very knowledgeable and honest about repairs. Shop does pretty much all types of repairs and state inspection. Has a waiting area or can drop off. They also have a courtesy van if you live or work locally.

Ive been with Center Auto forever. I now live out of town and I still come back for service. They are trustworthy and if they say such and such needs repair or replacement then I know it must true.

They tried to charge me $80 for an oil change. This was the second time in a row I was accidentally overcharged here. Either they need to be more careful with their billing or it isnt a coincidence.

Car repair is a tough industry for both the shop owner and the customer. I think Paul at Center Auto gets that, and wants to bridge the gap between these two parties. I can tell because he treats patrons with respect, articulates clearly, wears a smile, and provides services that are warranted & understood. He rolled one of my tires right into the waiting room to show me the life remaining, and options for replacement.Having to fix your car is the pits; Center makes it a less miserable experience.

Been taking our cars here for years. Great service, give great advice, never a complaint with their work. They have at times discouraged our having further repairs done as not worth the investment. We trust them enough to drop off a vehicle with an explanation of why, and anything else it needs; always been satisfied with what was done & why.

Paul and Jim know how to take care of you here. As with most auto shops, not all repairs are successful on the first pass. They are committed to making it work in the long run. Its worked for me - been a customer for 20+ years

Nice to go somewhere where you get great service -- and where you feel that you will *not* be ripped off. Nice people to deal with: they remember your name! Easy walk to Needham commuter rail station. Highly recommended!

Review №26

A complete rip-off.I need to replace my O2 sensor and this place quoted me $1000 where most other places asking for $250-400. They wanted to replace the whole fixture because the single thread holding the sensor was damaged. When I suggested replacing just the damaged thread with a bolt, I was told We dont do mickey mouse job here. Next time, they should suggest me to replace the whole engine to fix that damaged thread.
