Domenic J Basile & Global Auto

I’ve been here many times. I’ve always have had great service. They do everything you need here. Detailing, tires, mechanical, and stickers. Always acomandating, and fair. Always my first and only choice for my car care needs.

I used to go to these guys because the service was quick and convenient.
One day, I dropped my car off for an oil change. On pick up, I’m told that the engine has severe damage. I was given a prognosis of no more than 1 month before it broke down, and they offered me $ 600 cash to take it as-​is.
1.5 years later and well over 10k miles, my car is running quite fine.

I came here for an oil change, new rotors and windshield wipers. I showed up a little after 9.30, they took a look at it and came to me with an estimate in as little as 30 min.
When all was said and done, I had my car back by 12.00 and it was good as it’ll get (2004 Camry with 170,000 miles). I am happy with their service and I would love to be a regular (unfortunately, I am just passing through).

I brought my car here to be detailed and it was a fantastic experience. After 3 years of commuting 500 miles/​week, my car was absolutely disgusting. There was a stain on the passenger seat made up of an epic combination of spilled Chinese food and coffee. Actually, there was coffee on almost every surface of the car, as well as dust, dirt, and lots of random receipts. Other detail places told me that it was hopeless and that cleaning The Stain would potentially ruin the seat. Well, not Dominic J Basile! They reacted with no judgement (at least on the outside — who wouldn’t judge that mess???), offered to focus most of their time on the inside of the car since it needed the most TLC, and went to work.
MY CAR ACTUALLY LOOKS BRAND NEW! Seriously. I should have done this years ago — it was absolutely worth the money. If you need your car to be cleaned to perfection because you are selling it or just want a do over, make an appointment immediately.

Call it «luck» if you must, but I just so happened to notice that my State Inspection sticker was set to expire this coming weekend. So – onto Unilocal I went searching for a place in the South End for me to take my car to ensure I don’t get ticketed or towed.
Global Auto is right on Washington Street and for $ 35 (cash only), will complete the state inspection from 8AM — 4PM on weekdays. I got here at about 7:45AM and was the first person in line (by 8AM, there were three other cars behind me).
My car was in and out in about 10 minutes and I was on my way — which is how it should be, right?
The owner is friendly and stocks the office with fresh coffee and muffins from Dunkin’ Donuts every morning. I definitely will be using this place in the future!

These guys were fabulous — in an out for my inspection on the last day of the month even. Very polite, happy bunch, and hospitable offering me coffee, water, muffins.

These guys are the best. I had been to several inspection stations where they would try and fail me for stupid things. At another shop they said my tires stuck out too far which is ridiculous because they are stock size tires. These guys were quick and efficient. I will definitely go to this shop in the future.
On a sidenote they do car detailing here and I took a look at the cars they were detailing and they were incredible. They do very clean and thorough work.

Great place with a very friendly and efficient staff. I came in this morning for a state inspection, and there were already two cars ahead of me even though it was only 8:05 (they open at 8!). They moved quickly though and I was out of there within 20 minutes. $ 35 and cash only for inspection.

Went to Basile’s for a MA State Inspection. The owner offered me free Dunkin Donuts coffee and muffins when I walked into the office, which I gladly accepted. We shot the breeze for the 15 minutes it took for my inspection to be completed. Extremely quick, easy and cheap. I also watched him interact with several other customers while I was there. He strikes me as very honest and accommodating. I would highly recommend Basile’s.

Came for an inspection sticker and the parking lot was a complete clusterf**k with people customers from the Asian market across the street. I was told by one employee to get in line for the inspection and as soon as I got there I was told to move by another employee — both with poor attitudes.
The inspection itself was fine (pretty standard and hard to mess up) which is the only saving grace from getting one star. Other than that, it’s nice to have a LAST RESORT place to go to in the south end.

Quick, efficient inspection, nice staff.

Went in for a state inspection and left with a laundry list of over priced repair suggestions. Came back for a repair and was told they quoted me too cheap the first time around. When they reluctantly accepted the original quote they decided to change what they repaired without notifying me. Not a good state inspection experience.

Went here to get an inspection today since its right down the street from my apartment. I showed up without calling ahead and was put right into the garage for my inspection, no wait. The inspection guy was very friendly and got the job done quickly. Overall, 15 minutes and $ 29 later I was on my way. Will definitely be coming back.

Quick, professional, reasonably priced, honest and VERY friendly! Went here a few months ago for an inspection and was impressed, so it was a no-​brainier for my husband to take our jeep here when the radiator blew. My husband left just as happy as I had, despite the difference in cost for this trip!

Took my girlfriend’s car there after we had a flat. Explained I wanted to plug the tire not buy a new one (1^st mechanic I went to said it had to be replaced but I was skeptical). These guys plugged it while we ate across the street at Myers and Chang (1 year later and still driving fine on this tire). They also noticed a wiper blade was broken and asked before replacing it. Very cheap, fast and honest.

Went to get my car inspected. I called ahead and there was no line. Domenic was super friendly and offered me coffee and muffins while I waited. I’ll be back for detailing work!

Easy in, easy out for car inspection. Nice and professional mechanics.

I’ve taken my car here a couple of times, and its always been great. Today my car needed to have its brake pads and rotors replaced and they did it quickly while I waited there. They fed me pizza and soda while I waited and made sure I was comfortable. These guys are awesome.

These guys are incredible — and as the earlier post mentioned — they do NOT take advantage of you because you’re a woman.
I was very nervous going in because I’ve had so many negative experiences in the past — but i’m so glad i gave them a try!

I’ve dealt with Dom (owner) on numerous occasions, had a few $ 29 oil changes (a steal) and most recently had him fix what was quoted at another shop to be a $ 1200 repair to the muffler, catalytic converter, etc.
Dom explained that there was no need for that expensive repair and that he could simply cut out the broken part of the manifold and replace it with a new pipe. Total cost? $ 130.
This is the type of place you want to be dealing with. Heading in a few months to replace a worn muffler, guaranteed to be a better job than the large shops.
