Auto repair service near Bedford, MA

I have used Windham Mobile for years, approaching 18 now, and keep coming back. Doug and his crew always do an excellent job working on three separate cars and one pickup over those years. I do my own oil changes and spark plug replacements, but more involved work like surpentine belts, tranny and radiator fluid changes and the occasional real problem with a vehicle, I leave to them knowing the work will be done well and at reasonable, not cheap, but reasonable rates. Sometimes, I ask for the old parts, and when I do, they are there for me to look at and keep if I want. I have never been disappointed. I am writing this review because I need to have my tires changed over to snows for the winter, looked their number up on the internet to give them a call, came across the reviews, and figured I should throw in my two cents.

I can not say enough about the quality of service at Hometown Automotive, not only are the employees trustworthy and reliable but they are extremely well informed. I recommend this shop to everyone. Great place.

The owner has been servicing my car for about 15 years. Unless it was an absolute emergency and he was unavailable, I wouldn't let anyone else touch my car. He does a great and conscientious job, on time, for a reasonable price, and more than once has saved me significant money. As an example, I recently took my car to the dealer to have a malfunctioning (and wide-open) window repaired. (This is a case where it was an emergency and he wasn't available!) The repair cost hundreds of dollars. 5 weeks later the repair failed, and the dealer told me their repair didn't fail; it was actually a NEW issue that would cost me another big pile of money to fix. No thanks, I said and headed to S&W. Turns out the problem was a loose connection, an easy fix. S&W saved me $400! No question about it: I'd sent any and all of my friends to S&W to get their cars serviced. Dana S. Braintree, MA

Biondi's takes care of me from the gas service station to any auto problems I may have. They provide the old fashion TLC that's a rare thing these days. I recommend them to anyone looking for this kind of service.

The worst absolute worst place to ever buy a vehicle. The week prior to March 15, 2015, I began setting up an appointment with "Anthony / Tony" to test drive a car posted on the OfferUp site/app. On March 15 a Sunday I met with Tony and test drove the vehicle and questioned the obvious smell of antifreeze and the car was riding a little rough with a pull to the right. Tony assured me the antifreeze was a burn off and he would have his mechanic, Costy look the vehicle over to make sure it was ok. Once the papers were signed Tony told me I could not take the vehicle as he always has it double checked before it leaves the property. On Wednesday that week the 18th of March he finally returned my call to tell me the car needed a new tie rod and some other part. Both of which should be in and replaced by Friday. Friday came I had to wait as the car was not ready and was empty of gas. At this time Costy did my inspection WITHOUT my consent. He came out from the back told them I owed $35 for the inspection and I was free to go! I did not want them to do the inspection. I wanted to take it to MY SHOP WITH MY MECHANIC. This way I knew if it was rigged. Which it was. All the items that they check off 4 were bad and would not pass. I returned the car that Monday. The car full of gas, the gauge just fell to empty than floated back up. The RPMs remain at 1 when in park and float and rev on it's own. So much wrong with it. Costy calls me it's ready now Wednesday again. No it was not fixed. I almost slid into a guard rail as well. The alignment on the front was so bad when I replaced all the tires at Used Tire Warehouse in Wareham they fixed this alignment. Not even a month I have to replace and leave the car with mechanics. Three of the four tires had plugs all needed to be replaced. No buys a car for $5000 and pours $2000 into it immediately. The owner Salim "Sam" told me after wear and tear it is expected. I told him I had the car not even three days and it was back with him. I returned it 4 times and they couldn't find anything. I took it to my mechanic and before the machine for pressure was applied he told me "you definitely have a leak". Not 15 minutes later show me where it came from. He replaced it. I than took it to Kia of Dartmouth where Sam and Tony bought it, to do a recall from 2008, they noticed another leak from the manifold. I told Costy who told me he was quitting and that I'm not the first customer this happens to and he cannot take it anymore. This is not right. He told me, Jessika your a good person. The owner was now in Lebanon and Tony is forging titles with his name on them. I filed a small claims suit and now that it is the week of court, Salim takes off again out of the country. Stay the hell away from this place. Left me to tote my children in this ticking time bomb and refuse to refund my money. Other repairs required are in excess if $2000 and the fake warranty Tony made me pay $200 that covers "everything in the engine so they know you are protected the first 90 days". Well it doesn't cover ANY of these repairs. None, zero, zilch.

Scam artist - stay the hell away from this joint!

I've gone to Lube lab for years without any problems. On Monday my wife brought our 2006 Acura MDX for an oil change. After several sweeties, darlins and honies, they told her that her serpentine belt was damaged. Miraculously they had the serpentine belt in stock and they just so happened to have a time they could fit her in the following day. They would move some people around to fit her in. I promptly made an appointment with the Acura dealer to have the serpentine belt replaced. This morning the service adviser at Acura took a good look at the serpentine belt and laughed saying there was zero wrong with it. So Lube lab just lost a customer for wasting our time. Watch out women they will try and screw you. (without their aforementioned name)
