Tony is the best mechanic I've ever taken my car to. All provided services have been fairly priced and done quickly. He usually takes the time to explain what is wrong with the car, pointing out where there's a leak, what a particular part looks like, etc. I couldn't recommend Tony's enough!

Honest, trustworthy mechanic. I took my car in for an inspection after being quoted thousands for repairs at the dealer. Tony told me the car was in perfect condition and didn't even charge me for the inspection! Will be returning as a customer.

Tony s mechanics did an oil/filter change and tire rotation for my Prius Prime. I asked him to check on the breaks and he said there was nothing wrong with them. The job was completed in 3 hours even though there were at least 5 cars ahead of me. The price was very reasonable and I will definitely take my car there in the future!

Tony's is the absolute best, always up front about what the issue(s) might be and never have had an issue with cost of services. I don't even live near here anymore and I'll go out of my way to get the car serviced with Tony.

Tony is the best mechanic in the Boston area. With previous car maintenance, I worried about deceitful mechanics performing unnecessary work or overcharging but not with Tony. He is honest and fair with his pricing, always making sure to check-in before doing any work. I will only bring my car to Tony s and recommend him to all my local friends, he s the best!

Tony is wonderful. We have trusted Tony with our car and those of our extended family for over 30 years. He is honest and reasonably priced. Tony has kept my 2006 car running and at affordable prices. When it is time to replace a car, Tony will let us know instead of running up repair costs. He will always let us know whether a repair is warranted or not.

Tony is by far the best auto mechanic I have ever used. He does excellent work and is incredibly honest - he'll be very up front about pricing and whether a repair is actually needed or not.Services: Transmission, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, BrakesServices: Transmission, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Brakes

I can always count on Tony for honesty and a job well done. Been taking my vehicles to him for years and a while back got my MIL to bring her vehicle as well. No matter what the issue is Tony handles it quickly. I never worry about him overcharging or tacking on additional "problems" like at other mechanics I had been to in the past. In fact it's just the opposite. If you want an honest and reliable mechanic take your vehicles to Tony. Could not recommend any more strongly.

If I could give Tony and his team 10 stars, I would! My spouse, sister, and mom have been going to Tony for car maintenance for almost 5 years. Not only is Tony professional and on time, he is extremely kind. He will call before replacing anything to ensure it is okay and the service we receive every time is impeccable. We won't go to any other auto shop and now drive 35 minutes just to take our cars to him. If you are looking for a great mechanic who is kind, generous, and will get the job done, look no further and book an appointment with Tony and his team.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Wheel alignment, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Tony is the most honest mechanic I have ever encountered. His prices are fair, he is always upfront about any work that needs to be done before working on it, and his craftsmanship is top notch. After discovering this shop from my wife, I will never visit another mechanic. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tony and his shop. If 10 thousand stars were an option, Tony deserves it.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes, Air conditioning, Battery, Oil change

Great customer service and very affordable rates for various auto services. Tony is very honest & trustworthy in his recommendations of what's absolutely essential to address now vs. what can wait (& why). His team always delivers the serviced vehicle when promised, and try their best to squeeze in my visit at a time that best works for me. Hence I've been their loyal customer for the past 5+ years.

No better mechanic anywhere! Tony knows what he's doing, is completely honest and transparent.His pricing is very fair. His mechanics on staff are all excellent, as well. I trust him completely. In fact, when I was picking up my car. a local policeman was dropping off his and I said to the policeman, "Isn't he the best?" And he said, "Yes, you just don't find them like Tony anymore!"Services: Electrical repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Body & Trim, Brakes, Oil change

My husband and I wanted to go with a independently owned local auto shop and after finding Tony we now only bring our cars here. He is always 100% honest and trustworthy with our cars. He will never do anything without asking you first and will not force you into doing something with your car that can wait a little longer. Highly recommended!

I have been taking my cars to Tony for many years. He always does an awesome job of fixing anything that goes wrong. When it comes to regular maintenance he is terrific about letting you know what needs to be done right away, what can wait and for how long, and what things will cost. He is a wonderful mechanic and an even better person. I highly recommend Tony's Auto!

I have been a long time customer with Tony's Auto Service and I absolutely consider this repair shop top notch. Tony and his crew are extremely capable and professional. He is very honest and his no nonsense approach to diagnosing and reviewing repair options is always appreciated by car guys like me. I've been taking my personal vehicles and my company fleet vehicles to him for over 7 years now. Next time you have the need for automotive repair see Tony and you will see for yourself.

Tony is THE BEST! Been bringing my cars to him for 6 years. He's kind, honest, fair, doesn't scam me (which is GREAT since I'm a woman and a lot of mechanics do that), and his men work really quickly to fix my car. I live an hour away and still see him! Only mechanic I'll go to!

Great customer service and we will continue to bring her car is here when we need service.Service: General repairs & maintenanceService: General repairs & maintenance

Only place I ll take my cars. I have had Tony work on my 535, 328, ML350 and CX5. As you can tell he handles all makes and models professionally. He used OEM parts and was honest and fair throughout. Everyone needs a mechanic they can trust, especially if you don t know much about cars like myself. I promise you get a quote from tony and you ll see the difference in price and then get work done and you ll see the difference in quality.Services: Wheel alignment, Brakes, Oil change

Tony has been my mechanic for 15 years. He is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. Never does unnecessary work always tells whats wrong and if I need to fix it immediately or it can wait till my next oil change etc.. if you tell him Matt sent you he will know who you mean as most of my coworkers use his services

Honest, efficient and trustworthy. I have been taking my vehicles to Tony since 2008 and I have always felt completely taken care of. I am proud to call Tony and his amazing crew "my mechanic". I recommend him to all my family and friends.

I called Tony's shop out of the blue to get a used car pre-purchase inspection when every other shop in the area was booked full for a couple days. We agreed on a time and even though I was late, he still found time to fit me into his schedule.He gave me a complete rundown of everything he looked for, everything he found, and what to expect out of the car in the future. I was able to use this knowledge to negotiate a better price on the car.The kicker is this: after all was said and done I tried to pay him but he refused any payment because he didn't replace any parts! I believe people should be payed for their time but Tony didn't think it was right to accept money for this job. Needless to say, I'll be taking cars to his shop for any work in the future and I'll make sure parts need replacing!

Had my car serviced for the 3rd time by Tony and each time they were quick, honest, communicative, and my car was returned same day. Can not reccomend Tony highly enough. Thanks!

I have been driving nearly 50 years and must say, Tony is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. He is efficient, prompt and reliable. I always thought 'honest mechanic' was an oxymoron. Now I know there's one!Services: Tires, BrakesServices: Tires, Brakes

Love this shop. Tony is honest, and reasonably priced. I trust that if he tells me something needs to be done, it really does.

After the chain store tire and brake shop quoted a price for brakes, i called Tony. For less $ than the chain store, he replaced the brakes, replaced a broken solenoid that was causing an error message, diagnosed and repaired a check engine light for another issue and got the car to pass state inspection. Very happy with Tony. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be one

My car lost AC on a 90+ degree day, the day before a 7 hour drive with two small kids. Tony was able to service the car the same day so our trip wasn t delayed. He even stayed a few minutes late when I couldn t get a Lyft back to the shop by 5pm. I m very glad I chose his shop.

Every time we take our car there it feels like dealing with family. Tony has an incredible knowledge in all areas of cars and will tell you to do only what it is really needed. Since going there I forgot about the feeling of whether I was being rip off or not.
