Mufflers repair service near Raynham Center, MA

On 11/13/2012 I dropped of my 2003 Ford Escape to Cape Auto Body & Service in Plymouth, MA to diagnose two cylinders that were skipping. Although I do 99% of my own mechanical work, I have been using this company for probably close to 15 years on the rare occasion I do need an outside service company. On 11/14 Cape Auto called and told me when the job was complete. They also told me my valve cover gaskets were leaking and needed to be replaced. I got the vehicle back on the 14th and worked on it myself on the next day to replace these gaskets. In doing so, I found the threads stripped for the #4 cylinder spark plug. I called Jim, one of the service managers, and he denied that they even touched this cylinder. Now for some background. First, I am certified for numerous brands of engines ranging from air cooled small engines to diesel engines rated at excess of 1,000 horsepower. I personally changed the spark plugs in this engine on Oct. 3, 2012 and torqued them as I always do for plugs going into an aluminum head. Usually when removing plugs set in my engines, I can easily do this with a 3/8” drive ratchet. When I needed to remove the “only two plugs” Cape Auto replaced, I needed to use my 1/2” drive ratchet because they were way over torqued!!! Jim claims that he worked with the mechanic on my engine the entire time and that the mechanic never touched any other plug except the two new ones. As I previously mentioned, I have been using this company for many years and have observed Jim (and the other service managers) these times I've visited. They do NOT hover over their mechanics doing their work. As a matter of fact, the desks they work at face the opposite wall of the service garage giving them no possibility of seeing the actual work being done unless they physically stand over their mechanic's shoulders. And, if Jim had been watching his mechanic closely, how did he let him/her over torque the “only two” spark plugs they claimed to have touched??? At this

Make sure to take physical pictures of everything that is broken or needs repair that you’re already aware of, prior to bringing your vehicle into this shop. They will exploit those damaged/failing parts and cause further damage to them. It seems to be part of a ploy to generate revenue for their shop because they will then try to get you to make the repairs there. Don’t expect any accountability either…. They seem to have temporary amnesia when confronted about damage that they were clearly responsible for. Alan Symmes and company - stop believing that each customer that steps foot in your shop, is as naïve as you paint them to be. These are the types of mechanics that will pull the bait and switch on you, if presented with the opportunity…. You know, replacing your new parts in working condition with used/failing parts to swindle honest customers out of their own money.

I have been taking my cars to John at QAT for many years. I have never been disappointed or surprised with the services offered. His prices are always fair and he treats you like a true valued customer. Give john a shot, customer comes first.

Been going here for years and always suspected he was up to no good..he is a liar and breaks your car so you have to go back..I sent a friend and he switched out my friends battery for a crappy one..Do NOT let this person near your car..just a thief and liar..last thing did with him was an oil change..never put in a new oil filter but lied that he had

Went in to get a headlight fixed for a ticket and made an appointment for the following morning. We decided to drop the car off and uber back after dinner and while finishing up we received a call from Bill who told us he already took care of the light and we were able to drive home only an hour after dropping it off. Very friendly staff and very appreciative of the quick service that was provided...... Thank you guys!!!!!!!!

AMAZING! My car broke down in Franklin, I live in Watertown...had it towed to Mark's thanks to AAA. I had no clue where to take my car as it was late and everything was closed ( good thing for google looking for local places ). He owns the place and worked on my car, he did not over charge on labor and he did not lie about the cost of parts to make money ( I have had this problem with places in Watertown, Midas, Firestone and the list goes on..although Perfection in Watertown is decent). After he fixed my car he took it for a drive and it was rainy so he replaced my awful wipers free of charge. He inspected all of my brakes free of charge ( my problem was right front brakes ). My car was fixed in no time and he offered to pick me up from the train station as I was not sure how I was going to get back to Franklin, but I ended up getting a ride. His place was very nice, he was very nice..you could tell he loves what he does. It was overall a wonderful experience. He was very honest and I will be making the drive to Franklin for all my car needs..yes, it was that good! Finally, honesty!! Thanks Mark, you saved the day and did not kill my wallet!

Courteous, Thorough, Explained everything that needed to be done. Felt like I was in good hands.

I got my car inspected and front brakes replaced while i waited. They were fast and pleasant and didn't try to make me do anything else on my car. I'll definitely go back next time I need something done on my car. Pat Bloomberg

i have been taking my truck there for several years,they have been very curtious at all times,always willing to fit me into a tight schedule they have,cant say enough good things about north providence tire,i deal with sal he is fantastic and knows how to deal with the public.

I wanted to thank the mechanics of Safeway on Atwood avenue in Cranston for their excellent service on my vehicle. My wife and I went in this morning for an oil change and inspection. They went above and beyond with outstanding customer service. They Informed me of preventative maintenance and that my tire pressure was not correct and even corrected the issue. The price was fair and service was excellent. They put plastic in the car and even vacuumed it! I go to Safeway with my company vehicle and my personal vehicle for all repairs/maintenance. I highly recommend Safeway to anyone who cares about their vehicle and want to know that their vehicle will be properly serviced by quality mechanics!

Great local auto shop in Milton! 5-Stars! Highly recommended! Good work!

I had a 9:00 appointment today. My car was on the lift at 9:05. I've been a customer of Eco's for over 20 years.The reason for that is the outstanding professional work performed by the skilled technicians. With the owner Jack and his second in command Chris overseeing the work insuring you'll be leaving their shop with a smile on your face and cash in your pocket!

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.

There was a time when this was a great shop. But its the people that make a business great. This company has no respect for their employees and as a result can not retain any semblance of a permenant crew. They force extended hours manditory weekends and sundays and all but 2 holidays. These money hungry tactics do more harm then good. As far as other aspects of this location and company. Workmanship. Well no respectable mechantic would be treated the way they treat people so it as a result is poor. Quality. The parts used by monro are either a knock off brand made by monro otherwise the cheapest low quality part availible (trust me. I know). Price. Definatley higher then any indipendant shop in the area. Experience. When u visit monro u will be hassled into buying any and everything that can be replaced on your care. If u decline the services expect to be treated differntly. All-in-all this place is a nightmare buyer be ware.

I have gone back to Long Distance time and again because of their excellent customer service. They have helped me with three vehicles, a trailer and even my lawnmower. Highly recommend.
