Manny’s Auto Center

No. Just, no. Do not do it. Owning a car is not worth dealing with this establishment. Take the MBTA. Ride a bike. Walk. DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE!

This place is a joke, both father and son are lairs. Thx God they left Somerville, too bad they are still in business, they moved in North Reading changing name in RT28 motors.
Do yourself a favor, STAY AWAY.
They also delete bad reviews, LOL

Quite surprised with the negative experience that the Unilocalers below had. I recently bought a 2011 Honda CRZ-​EX and it was a pretty smooth experience with no hassles really. The price at which the car was being marked at was ridiculous, almost 20% below retail value. On top of that, he even gave me a fair discount.
On viewing the car, the owner gave me a CarFax for verification.
Some of the issues I had with the car were with the tires, and the owner replaced them with new ones soon after I picked up the car from the lot. And that too without getting it in writing (I’m new at this whole buying a car thing, its my first one)
My only issue is that the car was not washed /​cleaned when they said they would take care of it, but I am just nitpicking. Saving close to 3000 $ on retail doesnt compare to spending 20 $ at a carwash.
In addition, they managed to find me really cheap insurance which is remarkable since I have 3 points on my record. Also, they found me a really good credit rate at 6.99% which is great considering I recently joined the workforce & am still building my credit. All the fees including inspection, registration, etc were below 399 $.
All in all, it was a seamless experience assisted with an owner with quite the personality.

This place is really bad. I bought my car here in August, and it was a major headache. The owner, Harry, is a total sleezebag. Once I agreed to buy the car (after getting a real hard sell on it), he agreed to fix a few things before I took it home, which I got IN WRITING on the purchase&sales agreement. The next day, when I was going to pick it up, it turns out he didn’t fix most of it. He said to bring it back to him next week and he’d fix it. Ok… so next week, I bring it back, he keeps it for two days, and fixes only part of one problem… and did a bad job of it. This went on FOR WEEKS, taking it back to him, picking it up with the problems not fixed.
The bottom line is, he never fixed the problems, and in the end refused to fix them, despite me having it IN WRITING that he would. He kept saying to me «But if I fix that, I won’t make a profit on this car!» Why do you think I care about your profit? You shouldn’t have agreed to fix the problems when you sold me the car if you weren’t going to do it! But I just don’t have then energy to take him to court, so whatever. I had my mechanic do the repairs right. This place is bad news. Avoid Manny’s, they’ll screw you over.
