He is honest and has highly skilled technicians who are certified by various automakers to do all kinds of work on cars, including warrantied items! I even bought my latest car from him when one of his customers moved overseas. Since he had kept it in great shape, I knew it would be a good buy. I’m still driving it: a 1998 Toyota Camry

there isn't much they can't do but they will be honest if they can't. The owner Darren Cummings has become like an older brother - looking out for me and giving great advice and guidance on my car.  They have loaner cars which make any repairs much more convenient.  He/staff have driven me to and from work when a car is not available - I work nearby in Waltham.  I've sent many friends to him and they also find him dependable, trustworthy and extremely helpful when dealing with car issues.

great company. They installed my furnace and air conditioner about 10 years ago and I have maintained a service contract with them (pay an annual fee) which includes semiannual visits (late fall and late spring) to test out my system. Not sure what it costs if you don't have a contract but they are really good.
