PC Auto Repair

I don’t like to bad mouth anyone. When I first met paul. His shop remind of some dear friend of mine that ran a business in Somerville. But after a couple of repairs. I notice when receiving the bills there’s always additional add on (ridiculous). Now this is our third car in his shop and it’s my mother’s car. I told him that I needed a transmission. He decided that the problem was electrical and needed a starter. Electrical yes starter no. My biggest problem is after all this time he decided to replace the transmission. The car should had been done before Christmas. Charges were paid in full. We are still waiting on the car. And to finish it off he went on a trip to Brazil leaving clients cars unfixed and no way to reach out to him eigther.

These guys are super helpful, and very down to earth and reasonable!
been here twice so far and i plan on using them as my go to.

Yes, these guys are a little rough, don’t like talking or make you feel comfortable.
But, I have made good experience with their work, and their price was fair.
Recommended!

Honest, transparent, trustworthy, really great value!
Paul is a great addition to the neighborhood, you should give him your auto business, he’ll treat you well.
He was really very nice to me, and put my car up on the lift and messed around with the plastic housing that was dragging on the ground and fixed it up without charging me.
So — give the new local mechanic a chance to earn your business!

My husband had been going to Herb Chambers for repairs for years not because of the quality of service, but because he simply didn’t like the hassle of looking for a new service and hates to haggle. After many dollars and substandard repairs, I took the matter into my hands and searched for a better and trustworthy shop. The answer lay right across the street. Our car had a major problem with one of the brakes. My husband, of course, took it to the dealer and was quoted an unreasonably high price. I took it to FJ Auto and was told that Herb Chambers did a poor job last year to replace rotors and brake pads without replacing calipers. Calipers were scraping rotors and burning them as a result. Francisco, the owner, showed me all the old parts and new ones and took me step by step to explain what was to be done in layman’s language. He didn’t mark up parts and charged next to nothing for labor. What was surprising was that he got the parts and replaced all 4 brakes on the same day (Herb Chambers told us 2 weeks).
The very next morning, I had a flat tire, which I unfairly thought was caused during the brake repair. It turned out that someone slashed the tire overnight. He came within 5 minutes to replace it without complaining and didn’t charge for it. He got me a new tire the same afternoon.
It’s so hard to find a trustworthy auto repair shop which doesn’t overcharge for service or mark up part prices. I hope my car wouldn’t cause any more trouble, but if it did, I know where to go! Oh, by the way, they give you a ride home, too.
