Sunoco

service for a headlight replacement was fast and somewhat understanding.
tried to show me how. put it on lift when he couldn’t either and charged $ 45. i brought the bulb.
i’d rec in the clutch, but i prefer prices more where i’d expect.

Gas prices are cheaper than most other gas stations! Cash and credit are same price.
The real reason this business gets my support is that the car repair services here are better than anywhere else in the city. Jack is the most honest, reasonable, and hardworking car mechanic I have ever met. My family has taken our cars to him for nearly 20 years, which is UNHEARD OF considering my mom is a somewhat miserly Chinese lady who’s suspicious that everyone is trying to rip her off (sorry, mom! But I should at least defend her in saying that she immigrated to the Bronx in the late 80s, different world back then?).
I recently drove from Chicago to Boston to visit my parents and unfortunately got a nasty flat tire on the road. I called around to several tire shops and two Firestones, none of whom had my tires. Firestone even suggested that I replace ALL my tires (which I had purchased only ~15k miles earlier). This flat tire occurred the day before I was set to leave back for Chicago, so I begrudgingly agreed that changing all the tires was the best course of action. Before we went home, my mom suggested we talk to Jack to get a second opinion. He brainstormed ideas with us over the phone while the spare was being put in at Costco. He brainstormed after we drove over to see him at his shop. He flat out disagreed with Firestone and said he would call around to the different Boston suppliers to see if he could find a replacement for me! Not only that, he taught me how to identify what type of tires I actually had, so I could be a more informed participant in my car dealings.
I brought my car in the next morning. He could not find my same tire– it was discontinued– but he found an equivalent and rotated my tires so that the new one was in the back (my car is a front wheel drive). This way, he explained, there would be less impact on my car if the one different brand was in the back. He also then filled each tire and, after noticing I had a new cabin filter box in the car, replaced it for me FREE OF CHARGE.
I brought the car in for evaluation at 6pm the night before, my car was good as new by 9:30am the next morning and it only cost me $ 15 in labor. You will not find better service than this. Jack is just a hardworking man who loves his job, the good kind of old-​school mechanic you want but have never been able to find.

I definitely agree that Ames Sunoco has good gas prices as described by the other reviewers.
More importantly there are skilled and ethical when it comes to car repair. I have 4 used vehicles (2006 Wrangler, 2006 Pathfinder, 2002 Accord and 1966 Mustang) in constant need of maintenance that i have been bringing to Jack and his mechanics ever since I moved to Dedham, MA.
I my experience I can trust their estimates and recommendations. They don’t mind when I decide to take risk buy delaying or shopping a big repair. I have never had a problem with the literally dozen of maintenance/​repairs done at Ames Sunoco.
It is comforting to know a reputable service station when it comes to auto repairs.

This Sunoco station is also pretty good (just reviewed the Norwood one). It’s usually very cheap and is quick in and quick out. Hess across the street is also good, but I’m always coming from Westwood so this side of Bridge St is better for me. They have a small little convenience store too with some good deals on convenient store type items.
I’d suggest this station if you’re in a rush and in the area– don’t go out of your way to come here though– it’s not AMAZING. Go out of your way to go to the brand new Sunoco on RTE 1 in Norwood, yet this place is still good.

I agree with Vivian (who posted previously) on Ames St. Sunoco — good prices (well, good considering what we are paying these days) and they will be the same as the Hess station across the street, so if this is easier depending on which way you are traveling, cruise on in!
BIG BONUS POINTS for having the same price for cash or credit! Nothing drives me crazier than the sneaky places that are actually 10 cents more for credit but you cannot read that until you are actually there… and have pumped a whole tank already. I understand those places have a transaction fee from the credit card companies, but don’t they understand that they are just losing customers?

Gas station on Bridge Street with a good price — $ 3.629 on 9÷7÷2013 — although the Hess station located diagonally from the Sunoco was advertising the same price… competition you know.
Bonus points for having the same price for cash or credit unlike the gas station on Route 1, Rudy’s Express.
