Newton St Garage Auto Serv

Great garage. Workers are honest about car problems and prices! They are extremely friendly and the best part is after they complete the work they will discuss in detail what they did, why they did it, and what to expect in the future with. I fully recommend this garage!

I really appreciate the service I got here. When I brought my 97 car in, I was sure I was going to be overcharged and/​or told that the repairs would cost so much I’d be better off trading in my car instead of fixing it. But nope, they got it all fixed up at a reasonable cost, and then even showed me what was wrong with it. I’m a female and frequently feel like I’m getting swindled when I go to car repair shops. But I didn’t feel that way here. Good place. Hardworking and honest people.

Taking your oldish car in to a mechanic to figure out ‘what that noise is’ is never fun. However, I know I’ll get a straight answer when I take it to Newton Street Garage. Often it turns out to be something quirky and cheap to fix — some small part is warped and they bend it back into shape (for, like, $ 10). I’ve taken my little Civic here for the last 7 years for a variety of issues, and they always get the job done for a great price. It’s no frills, just honest guys who do a great job. Isn’t that what we all want in a mechanic?

This place gets 5 stars in my book because of their honesty and their pricing. They are fair, I always get a price below what I expected, and they don’t try to sell me anything I don’t need. They are common sense mechanics, telling me that I just need to keep my oil refreshed in my old car, instead of trying to get me to buy those mystery liquids you see in Sullivan or NTB («Engine Supercharger Cleaner…» etc). I have kept bringing my car here for little things because I know they aren’t going to try to scam me and just do what I asked without breaking something else! A rarity in the mechanic world, I am glad they are located just around the corner from me.

I bring my car nowhere else for years now. Dave, Tommy, and Greg are stand-​up guys and do good work at good prices. Best of all, they are trustworthy! Never have suggested more than I need or overcharged me. Since getting married, my husband has also become a believer and he will only bring his car here as well.

I absolutely love these guys! I take my car here any time I have an issue and they help me out. Today my brake line blew on the way to work. I brought it to them without an appointment (they know me pretty well by now) and they told me they were busy but they’d try and help me out. 3pm I get a call that my car is ready! I can’t compliment them enough.
Fair prices, great mechanics. All around good guys.

i 100% believe the mechanic.
never thought i’d say that about a guy determining arbitrary prices for technology i don’t understand. but greg at newton st garage inspires trust and confidence, and made his assessment of my engine light very clear, detailing his confidence level of the proposed work, and ultimately helping me make a decision on my car.
i’d recommend this garage to anyone.

I have used them a number of times for a number of issues with my car. They are more than fair on price and getting you back on the road quick. I once had some lights out on my car in the rear. The ones that illuminate the licensee plate so it can be read at night (is a law they have to be on at night in RI). They are very hard to access. I didn’t feel like spending the time unscrewing panels to put these odd type of lights back in. Since I was going there to replace a rotor that was bad. Took the car there. They fixed the lights for $ 10 and told me the rotors are still good for a few more years and to come back if they get a little worse. Gave them 2 reasons they could knock my credit card like any other shop would and they only took $ 10. 2 years later rotors are fine. ALL AROUND GOOD GUYS. If you ask the main guy if he will be in on a any week day and he replies proudly «I will be here my whole life!»

I trust my car with these mechanics. I’ve compared their prices with some other garages nearby and they always beat (or matched) the other place’s rates. I had a particularly tricky issue come up with my car. After an earlier fix or two didn’t solve the issue, one of the mechanics, Tom, spent half a day trying to figure out what was wrong, and after finally getting it, didn’t even charge for it. The only hassle is that they’re not open on the weekend. But if you’re looking for a trustworthy place with honest prices, then this is it.

I was going to get my new car inspected and looking for a garage near my apartment. I called this garage and asked if I could possibly get something done at 6:30 even though it was closed, but he said no because he’d be on his couch then. But he asked when I went to work and I said around 8, so he said they open at 7 so I could come then before work. When I went around 7:15 am, the man there said they didn’t open until 8… so my morning was quite turned around!

This garage came highly recommended to me by several long time Brighton residents. It is hidden away on a small residential street — you might never notice it if you weren’t looking for it. They are always busy but will get you in and out quickly. They are honest and fair. This is the best garage I have ever been a patron of.

I’m always wary of garages so when I find one I like, I have to share it. All of the old-​timers in my Brighton neighborhood take their cars here. They’re honest, efficient and really nice people.
