Acton Gas & Service

I have been bringing my own vehicles and my company work vehicle here for years. The service that Jack and his crew provide is excellent every time. They have always gone above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend them for any of your vehicle needs.

Jack and the folks at Acton Gas have been my mechanics for almost 10 years now. Even after my wife Lucinda and I moved to Maynard, we still bring our cars there. They are fair, dependable and just plain awesome. Bonus: free air for tires!

Had my brakes and rotors replaced here for $ 270 when everyone else I asked wanted $ 310 – 330. They also noticed that my sticker expired and updated it. I don’t know what else they did, but when I drove my car out of there, it drove the smoothest it’s ever driven… so smooth it was almost alarming. Steering: creamy. Engine: quiet. Brakes: good as new.
You can tell they are good because the garage is always bustling. FYI, if you are having work that is going to take a few hours, there is a café across the street.
I love these guys.

A local neighborhood service station that can do all the out of warranty services, oil, changes, mount tires, brakes, misc electrical alternators etc. The owner is great and treats his customers well… my friends confirm this is their go to resource for the typical repairs and service that dealers charge 2x.

I have had some bad experiences here, like the attendant banging on my car when he apparently felt I wasn’t quick enough getting my gas cap open — which, by the way, my dog really enjoys seeing as she was in the back seat and a strange man is banging right next to her head! It got to the point where, even though this is clearly the most convenient gas station for me, I was driving miles out of my way or getting my gas elsewhere.
But, lo and behold, over the weekend I was running late and desperately low on gas, so I decided to take a chance. I am happy to report that the attendant this time — who was definitely a different attendant than my on previous visits and I know cuz, believe me, I remember people who upset my dog (and me) — could not have been nicer. And this was on Sunday, when in this neck of the woods it was a brutally cold day and I could have understood some crankiness or impatience. Then, the icing on the cake was that, when he handed me my credit card and receipt — and gave me a minute to open the window to get it – he gave me a nice MilkBone for my pup. Yay! I hope this is a new trend here, and maybe the meanie attendant is gone for good. I will definitely give them another shot, and yes, I will upgrade to five stars if I continue to get a dog biscuit ;)
