Raymond is the best! He takes his time, doesn’t overcharge you and often won’t charge at all for small issues that he fixes. There is a reason why so many people like him and trust him. If you are looking for a local mechanic, I suggest you start here.

I would 100 percent recommend this shop. Raymond has repaired my former Honda Element and bought me more time with her. In addition, he has taken care of my new car along with all the cars in my family. Trustworthy, reliable, timely, professional…. I could go on and on.

The owner was great. He was so nice, I had a tight time frame that I needed my truck back. and they got the job done in time. They also have fair prices. His main concern was that I was happy with everything. I highly recommend them.

Let me borrow his personal car to get me home safe. Willing to go the extra mile. Great guys

Thank U Raymond for great service I recommend this place Raymond is the best

Raymond is excellent. I had a battery issue and he reassured me that information I received from AAA was bogus. I will not hesitate to go to him in the future.

Amazing job! Im so happy with the outcome. I highly recommend them.

Ray is the best of the best of the best. Impeccable service, very considerate and customer friendly. Extremely reasonable!!

Trustworthy and won’t rip you off

Very good mechanics good reliable trustworthy people, at reasonable prices... my new garage...👍

Excellent I will absolutely be returning there

Raymond is so nice and helpful!

Raymond is fantastic - loves his work, very thorough, always fixed the first time, and I never waste money chasing problems. Old Center Auto is where you need to go to get your fixed or keep maintained.

Even if you live to be 100, you wont find a better mechanic than Raymond! Hes highly skilled and honest. Five stars in every category.

I was desperate when I pulled in. The owner was friendly, figured out my problem and got me back on the road. I cant recommend this place highly enough.

Old Center Auto is the best!I wouldnt take my care anywhere else!!The only mechanic I have ever trusted

Thank you so much for fixing my car so fast, with a smile and so reasonable!! So happy we found you. Stay safe.

Ray is a class act. Professional, yet personable, takes pride in his work and gets the job done as promised in the time promised. Highly recommend. (Ray was able to work on my BMW - brakes, engine light due to some sensors, etc and he was able to reset the cars computer). Very happy.

Had a great experience here. Service was quick, prompt, and cheap. Was expecting to wait a bit, but they had my car fixed very quickly and for a fair price. Great sense of urgency with all they do.

Always a great experience with Raymond and his staff! Ive been into the shop 2 occasions in the last year and from big job to smaller ones, Raymond is always fair on pricing and will completed repairs within a reasonable time frame. Raymond is always willing to explain the repairs costs/estimates and and will not oversell you on expensive parts. Hes got a great reputation and well continue to bring our cars to Old Center for many years!

Great guy to deal with. He is very honest and has fair pricing. I recommend him to everyone I know and they are all thrilled with his service

I am positive the amount of time spent repairing my engine was not reflected on the final bill.Raymond was forthright, honest and amazingly fair.Thank you so much Raymond and crew.

The best place to take your car! Raymond is the best! Honest, friendly and he knows what hes doing.

Raymond is fair, honest and makes your car problems his top priority. As soon as you drive into Old Center Auto Repair he comes right over and assesses the problem. If he can fix it immediately, he will do it right then and there and you can be on your way. If it is a small problem and easily fixed he sometimes says no charge and you have to insist on paying him. There is no one else like him. So glad your business is in North Reading Raymond!

This is the best car mechanic, Ive been to in my life!! As a single woman being ripped off by car mechanics is always an issue but Raymond is absolutely NOT like that. He is extremely honest and fair. I had my ABS and traction control light on in my Jeep Patriot. He looked at the my car for a few hours, diagnosed it, cleaned off the ABS sensors and even fixed some of the wiring and did not charge me at all or even try to find other issues with my car. I even told him I wanted to pay him for his time and he refused to take my payment. I am so grateful that there are actually decent, kind human beings out there. I will definitely be back here and will probably never trust any other mechanic again after this amazing experience.

Raymond is the best!

Raymond is very compassionate, fair, professional, and punctual. Hes fixed my car numerous times and I wont go to anyone else.

Raymond is great! I went in with a BMW with a bunch of problems and he helped me figure out the best way to through all these repairs. He had creative ideas to very big problems and was quick with all the little things. My car drives like brand new now! Fantastic experience!

Great never meet a guy like ray fixed what need to be fixed that it no extra surprises

Raymond does a great job and is reasonable.

I went to old town auto repair and Raymond was so nice. He helped me right away even when he was busy he left his work and took care of me. I rate him as a great garage very reasonable prices and great attitude. The best place in town.

The front hood of my Honda pilot cant open, before I went to Old center auto repair, I have visited two other car repair shops, and both asked me to leave the car for a day for the repairment.I stopped by Raymonds Old Center Auto Repair, he fixed it quickly.It was an awesome experience. Raymond is an honest, genuine and trustworthy mechanic.DWang of North Reading

I take my truck there all the time and my sons car too he does awsome work and he has reasonable prices

Owner and mechanic Raymond is very helpful and reliable. Answers the phone when you call and does not get to get over on you. Very trustworthy mechanic highly recommended.

Great service and great price! Got the work done right before Christmas and no issues with the repairs.

Raymond is a gem. He spent days searching for a replacement rear view mirror for me that saved me hundred of dollars. His responsiveness and customer service are unparalleled, and rare today. We love Old Center Auto!

Excellent service and price! Raymond goes out of his way to make sure things are done correctly and that his customers drive away happy. Best auto service place in the Reading/North Reading area!

My first time there. The owner was very knowledgeable. The service was great! Thank you very much! Li

Best Guy, and the best mechanic hands down!

Popped in to get my tired repaired. Service was unbelievably quick, professional, and affordable. I was surprised at how cheap it was, actually. And one month later, the tire is still going strong.

Raymond is the best......honest, reliable, friendly, and fair. He has helped me out a number of times and always makes time for his customers needs.

Took me in for a pre-purchase inspection on very short notice and were very helpful on my decision to buy the car!
