I took my car in for check engine light diagnostic, they removed and replaced the oxygen sensor. However the check engine light came back on after a day. The second time it was for air fuel ratio sensor.Jenn explained the issue was that both sensors needed to be replaced at the same time and owned up the mistake and replaced the air fuel sensor and cleared the faults at no charge.I highly recommend Hometown Garage they are a honest and reliable Garage.

Hometown Garage is THE place to go for any car repair. They have kept my 2005 cobalt safe and functioning, as well as my newer car. Efficient, reasonable, and outstanding customer service, which is not always the case if you’re a woman dealing with car repair people. I have full confidence in their services, which is confirmed every time I have brought my car to them for repairs.

This was my first experience at Home Town Garage but it wont be my last. They were accommodating with my schedule, efficient and reasonable. The service was outstanding and they were ready for me at my appointment time. I really appreciated everything about this experience. I am planning to use them for all my car service needs.

Hometown Garage did a wonderful job repairing the rear brakes on my car. Everything was done on time, at the expected price. Staff were professional, and quick to answer questions. The communication was very good; they kept me informed re: progress of work. This was the second time I used this garage (first time was a year ago). Very pleased on both occasions. I recommend them highly.

We have used Hometown Garage for quite a few years and find them reliable and responsive. I have also recommended them to others who also have very positive things to say about them.

Great service. I appreciate text messages with updates as they work on my Honda for personal service.

The problem I was having with my Honda was clearly related to a tire or axel, because the repetitive rhythmic noise it was making sped up as I went faster and slowed down as I slowed down. Hometowns diagnosis: simply rust on the brakes, due to not driving as much, due to the pandemic. Point being: these guys are great because they are HONEST AND COMPETENT. They only charged me $45 and sent me on my way. The noise will lessen as I drive more. I can live with it. Ill only put new brakes on when these are worn and I need to. Hometown is great and I will use them again and again.

My rear brakes had been making noise for a while; when I brought it in, the mechanic told me that they were pretty much gone. Due to Covid supply chain issues, they didnt have rear brake parts in stock, though, and the repair would take at least a day if not more. Because the brakes were in such bad shape, they said that in good conscience they couldnt release the car back to me until the repairs were done. I told them that my daughter was heading off for college in two days and so whatever could be done would be appreciated. They were able to finagle some things to get the parts and got the repairs done by the end of the day. There were some other repairs that needed to be made that would have kept the car in for longer, but they wanted me to be able to get the car back in time. I really appreciated their consideration for my familys safety as well as our time and our need for the car. I was really happy with how professional they were.

Needed to have my AC recharged after a repair and the dealer was going to charge me way too much, so I remembered I had used Hometown years ago so I gave them a call. They gave me a fair quote, so I dropped the car a couple of days later and picked it up the following day. They kept me informed via text and I paid online. Fair, quick & easy.

This is a great shop! First, Jenn the office manager went above and beyond to help me with my particular scheduling requests. She was extremely quick to respond and very pleasant to work with. The work was done on schedule at a reasonable price, and they did not try to upsell me on extra work, but did inform me of things I should be aware of to keep an eye on. My favorite thing about this shop is they keep you informed by text (if you choose this type of communication) throughout the time they have your car. When it was done, they texted all of the paperwork and details which I was able to review and even pay online. Very streamlined process which I appreciate.

Took my car to Hometown Garage. Second time for my visit. It was as always a very pleasant and straight forward experience. It was a minor check up. Nevertheless the same amount of care that is shown for bigger work was shown here. Much appreciate the experience.

What a fantastic garage! My car needed a lot of work which required an overnight stay that I wasnt prepared for, and I live in Rhode Island. They actually lent me a car to use at no extra cost to me. It was a huge, HUGE help. Their technology on keeping in contact with me was phenomenal, with text messages and notes that broke down everything they were doing and how much it would cost. They were on the ball with staying in touch. Now my 2005 car runs like new.

Great and easy communication. Very COVID safe. High quality work. The car had been at the dealer a few days before for an unrelated issue and that repair shop said I need all 4 brakes done. Hometown Garage took a look and said the rear ones needed to be done but the fronts were only halfway worn. Trustworthy. Ill be giving them repeat business.

I called to ask how much they charge for an inspection. The lady on the phone said that they start at $141 and go from there. When I told her that it sounds too much for an inspection since Midas quoted me $100 (Midas ended up charging me $50 for the inspection), she said then this place is clearly not for you then hung up.

I have been going to them for ages. And my mom has too. Herb has always been great and personable and reliable. For a smaller garage they are up to date, trust worthy and dependable. They send text updated they break down everything. They have a great remote system to be safe w covid and they’re happy to help with anything. Highly recommend.

To be honest, I was a little skeptical about this garage and its reviews (since it had so many 5 star ratings). But I was happily surprised to find that their ratings are well deserved. They not only fixed the issues I had asked them to look at, but also fixed several small problems that I did not mention. And all of this for a reasonable price. Very recommended!

Hometown Garage is great. The folks there are professional, competent, and honest. My car was ready on time, and I appreciated that they were very honest about what my car needed and didn’t need. We’ve been bringing our cars there for years and appreciate having a dependable and trustworthy team to bring our cars to.

I authorized them for an expensive repair on my power steering system. Once they started the work they found another issue that caused the issues I was experiencing. Called me up right away and told me the repair would be much less expensive than quoted. Appreciate an honest shop. Could have performed the other work and I’d be non the wiser. I’ll bring my car back there definitely

I had an issue with my front left tire keeping air in it and brought it over to Hometown Garage to get it checked out. I truly hate going to a garage ever because of how long and pricey it can be. The employees were nothing but extremely kind and friendly, checked my vehicle out right away, and have a super user friendly text messaging system that gives you updates on your vehicle as it is being checked/repaired! The employees also sanitize every car they work on, and let you pay online! I cannot day enough great things about this place, they are awesome and I will definitely bring my vehicle back to them every time!

I was greeted promptly and with courtesy. I was given the option to wait or return. I sat on the bench and made my business calls. Within an hour,my ML350 was ready and I promptly paid and left. The car was sanitized and I was sent text messages to update what was the progress. Payment link was sent and I paid from my phone. They even diagnosed and told us that the air filter needed a change but was not available now. Very happy. A clean place. Professional service.

Exceptional service.The AC in my 10 year old car stopped working. The professional technicians at HomeTown garage understand the concept of matching the solution to the circumstances and the client’s needs.They did an assessment and offered an incremental approach rather than suggesting a complete system overhaul.They brought the AC system back to full function for a fraction of the cost that was quoted by the dealer.The appropriate approach for an older vehicle.Communication during the day was superb and the car was ready on time. They have a key lock box system for late in the day pick up.They just acquired a customer for life!!!Highly recommended!!!

Hometown Garage is the best auto repair place around! I’ve been taking my car here for years and have recommended family and friends do the same. They are honest, professional and convenient.

Diagnostics charges are relatively high. Service was extremely good, and technicians were able to keep in touch with automated systems, including text messages of statues. Estimated cost of a part replacement on the vehicle was quoted at double another mechanics price who is only a half mile away.

Clean and tidy auto shop in a quiet area behind the middlesex turnpike. They did a great job of keeping contact with me via text and email while Able to fit me in day-of.

I have been taking our cars to Hometown Garage for many years now. ALWAYS a positive experience. Herb and his crew are all very skilled, and always give an honest estimate of the work needed. The prices are fair. They have never tried to recommend unnecessary work. When needed, they will make good-sense suggestions on items that will attention sometime in the future, but there is never any hard-sell. Totally recommend.

Hands down the best auto mechanics with the absolute best service in the state, maybe the entire US. They picked up my car, kept me informed the whole time, quoted a very fair repair price before they did any work, and dropped of my car at my driveway. Oh, and they sanitized all of the high touch areas. In a pandemic?!? WOW. I will not be getting my Volvo serviced anywhere else.

Very satisfied with the service from Hometown Garage. After dropping off the car, I got ride back using their shuttle service. When a technician started work, I got text updates. Very transparent process from beginning to end. Even after few days of servicing they called me to check if any issue with the car and if I am satisfied with the service. Much better experience than car dealership service centers. Highly recommend Hometown garage to friends & families.

Moved into this area 3 months ago and got recommended to this shop by friends. Very friendly folks and did excellent job on my car.

I have used Hometown Garage for years for several vehicles. They may not be the least expensive around (but have you been to an auto dealership lately?), but they are competent and get the job done right and are being quite careful these days.This was just an (overdue) oil change, but they pointed out several other issues (for which I will eventually schedule service).

Super-responsive service: they tell you everything they recommend and dont try to throw on extras. When I brought my 13-y-o CRV in during the pandemic, they noticed Id only driven 1,000 miles in six months, topped off the fluids, popped it up on the lift to check for safety and charged me $37.

These guys are awesome. They gave me a loaner for 24 hours, took a thorough look at my car to prepare it for inspection, helped me pick out some new tires, and did not go above what they quoted.

On a recent trip to Boston, the alternator on our son’s car stopped working. A friend in the area recommended Hometown and we dropped his car off to be repaired. I was overwhelmed by the professional and caring approach by Ryan and the team. They provided updates throughout the day, thoroughly inspected the car and repaired the alternator. I’ve had work on my cars in NC and never had the service I received from Hometown. If you are in need of repairs, I highly recommend and you will not be disappointed. Excellent job guys!!!When we had another issues with my son’s car, we immediately went back to Hometown based on the great experience the first time. Again, the quality of work, attention to providing us with the right guidance and excellent service continues to elevate my experience with Hometown. Best experience ever in car repairs. Highly recommend!!!

They are a great dealership. Customer service is A+++. My cars windshield wipers were broken and when I went to Hometown Garage they told me that it wasnt moving because it was loose. It took 2 minutes for them to tighten the bolt for me and fix it. They didnt charge me anything and also cleared off the snow from the top of my car. I definitely recommend!!!

It took a while, and some not so favorable experiences, beforeI settled in on Hometown Garage a number of years ago, for allmy cars (2) mechanical work.From start to finish, I never have had to worry about my car, whatis being done, is it really necessary, is the price fair, etc.No one likes to be have to take their vehicle in for work, especiallyfor a big job. But knowing the two Herbs (father and son), and their topnotch people there, I always leave feeling my car is better....and my interests have been placed first.

Great service. They always take good care of me and my old cars. Always up front about how long something will take and also quick to let me know if something is outside their expertise.

Its so wonderful to have an auto mechanic you can completely trust. Because of Hometown, my family only buys used cars. We pick up a possible car buy from the dealer, bring it to Hometown, and let them tell us if it is ok. Over the past 20 years theyve never been wrong when they said yes.

Review №93

Even though there were numerous items that will need attention in a couple of months, I so appreciated how Ryan didnt try to talk me into repairs that arent yet necessary. As requested, his guys checked out the car, made a list of potential problems and made me aware of them, helped me understand when these items would need attention, and then charged me only for the oil change. In addition, they are a professionally run company. It definitely doesnt feel like your typical garage.

Review №96

Hometown Garage is so great. They were highly recommended to me by my coworker and his wife. On my way into work, the brakes on my car stopped working. I called them, and they told me to drive it straight there. They brought me to work in their shuttle while they looked it over. They did a complete evaluation, sent me a very detailed report, and talked me through everything. The work needed was extensive. They would’ve made a lot of money on the work, but they told me that if I was considering getting a new car, it might be a good time to do so. They gave me the option, and didn’t pressure me into the work at all. They let me leave the car there until I could look into new cars, and helped the tow truck pick it up to bring to the dealership when the time came. They really impressed me, and were completely professional and standup guys. I would recommend them to anyone!!

Have been going to Hometown Garage for about 10 years now and wouldn’t think of going elsewhere. They are honest and trustworthy and reasonably priced. They are great at routine maintenance and at getting you back in your car after it’s been towed there with a horrible noise! They are great at communicating (I love the text updates!) and explaining the various options for repairs, when needed. Love, love, love Hometown Garage and highly recommend them!
