Scott is great with what he does and is a really kind person. He not only fixed our car multiple times at reasonable price, but was so generous in giving suggestions for other car repair needs that he does not offer. His recommendation always points us to super nice services and honest quotes. We are very grateful.

My favorite place. Fixed my Toyota engine light when no one else could, and continue to be great, honest, and a pleasure for years afterwards. My car is a member of my family, and I trust these guys 100%.

I brought my car in for an oil change as well as for an overall maintenance check. I ended up needing the rear sway bar bushings replaced; what a difference in the ride of my car now that, "the back isn't falling out of it!" The staff is knowledgeable, approachable, and the prices were more than fair. I highly recommend Old Time Garage for general maintenance as well as for their used car sales. Sam, Scott, and Corey, thank you so much, I will be back!

I have been going to this garage for years and would not go anywhere else. Unlike the dealerships, they are very trustworthy and really know what they are doing. When a lot of repairs were needed on an old car, instead of pushing to do everything, they asked how long I would be keeping the car for and then recommended only the repairs needed to get me though. The don't nickel and dime me like other places have tried to in the past.

I ve been going to Sam at Old Time for close to 40 years. He s an honest businessman and the people he employs are equally as great. Most everyone there is a longtime employee. That should tell you something.

I have been going to Old Time for over 20 years, I won't go anywhere else. They are very good mechanics so the job is always done right. They are honest and will not tell you something is needed that isn't, more often, in my experience they say I don't need certain work now. There have been times when I simply had a question about my car, stopped by and the guys at Old Time always take the time to answer the question and explain everything so I understand if is something that needs immediate attention, it can wait until it is convenient to me to get fixed, or it is part of the normal operation of the car. I have even called them from out of state with a question and not only did they answer it, they told me how to reset something that needs to be reset.We have also bought cars there and that experience was excellent and Sam made it very easy.Every time I have had work done at Old Time, I have walked away more than satisfied.

Never have written a review on Google (and probably won't again), but the car-owning public should know which shops are legit and which are crooks.**First time customer**. Brought my car in for a general look over (just hit 100K miles) and to address a coolant leak. The guys there were quick, knowledgeable, and gave it to me straight. I wanted them to check some other specific areas of the car that I thought might be causing issues. They gave me no push-back or run-around and heard me out without being condescending or dismissing my concerns. I thought the number of 5-star reviews was a little suspicious (i.e., maybe some "fake" reviews to boost their rating), but after my experience there it makes sense. Good work gets good reviews. They have earned my business and I will be returning.

These guys are the best - skilled and honest. If you live within a 30 mile radius of this garage, it's worth the trip. Other shops don't even come close - and I've been to many. Old Tim Garage is my garage forever. I plan on buying a used car within the next year and will only deal with Old Time Garage - yes, they sell used cars as well.

The guys at Old Time are as honest as they come. Their work comes highly recommended- I stopped going to the dealership years ago. Their rates are very reasonable and they always go the extra mile. Fair, trustworthy, and professional. Go see Sam and Scott, they won't dissapoint.

A always, I was in and out very promptly. The staff are friendly, efficient and trustworthy. I never worry that they will do something that is expensive and unnecessary.Sorry I've been away for a few weeks. Have not had occasion to have anything done on my car since the last time I responded to review, but I know if I had work done I would be satisfied as always!

As a single mother, I have always been afraid of car repairs and of course purchases.That is, until I went to these guys! I have done business with them for years now! I have also bought three cars from them. They are fast, reliable and trustworthy.I would recommend Old Time Garage wholeheartedly!

I needed to know whether my very old car could survive a 1000 mile trip. They could have recommended some repairs but instead told me it wasn't worth sinking money into the car. I was about to leave when I noticed some used cars I might like. They didn't suggest I look at their cars; it was totally my idea.Cory Clement showed me the cars and took me on a test drive. I didn't like any of the cars but he and Sam went above and beyond to locate the car I wanted.I didn't buy a car from them and instead bought a new car, but I will definitely bring it here for service. These guys are honest and a pleasure to work with.

In a word: Trustworthy. I always feel like other garages are ripping me off and doing things that don't need doing. I have taken my car in a few times and had them say, "Nope, it's fine" and not charged me. The fact that I can trust them keeps me a loyal customer.

Out of town, a family event happening, and a quickly deflating tire - these guys helped me out and worked me into their schedule immediately. Great service. Great work. Thanks guys! If I lived within 20 miles of Newton - this is where I would take my car all the time.
